A61Q United Arab Emirates

After reading about disappointing conditions in other Blogs, I did not expect, to make any QSO's today. But I went to 18 MHz and I did heard EV1R. At first I wanted to use 2.7 W, but then I realized that the signal was rather strong, so I used 360 mW. With 360 mW and 941 miles this QSO is good for 2613 Miles per Watt. hi
After this QSO I stayed on 18 MHz and made a QSO with EA5AR using 2.7 W. Ric gave 549 with QSB.

Then I heard A61Q calling CQ DX on 15 m. With a distance of just more than 3000 miles, according QRZ, I choose a power of 2.7 W.

Now several stations were answering and at first I mingled with these other stations, but without success. With 2.7 Watts, I am not the "Pile up King", so I decided to wait for the right moment to give my call and in the mean time I listened to the mode of operation. This payed off, much sooner than I expected.
For me the United Arab Emirates (A6) is a new DXCC in QRP. With 2.7 W and 3189 miles this FB QSO is good for 1181 Miles per Watt. hi
Thanks to A61Q with his excellent ears

I just found that A61Q uses eQSL. So I will send an eQSL. hi

  1. Nice work, Bert. I need a multi-band antenna, not just this 20 meter mono. Will get something later.

  2. Hallo Bert, altijd leuk die onverwachte DX. Mooi resultaat met 2,7 watt. Ik hoor de laatste paar weken toch al goede berichten over 17 meter. 73 Paul

  3. Good morning Bert, great work with only 360mW's and then to snag A61Q with QRP power as well is great. I too have been reading on many blogs about conditions too. It goes to show that getting on the air can bring some nice contacts.

    2. Hello Murad, I am very pleased to meet you. I enjoyed the QSO very much. The eQSL is on it way. Thank you for the fine more than 1000 Miles per Watt QSO and new DXCC in QRP.
