After I came home from my holiday, I discovered that I had not sent in the Log. At first I was disappointed, but then I realized that the activity that the contest offers, provides the opportunity to make interesting QSO's. I had great fun with QRP and QRPp in 125 QSO's, of which many are 1000 Miles per Watts QSO's. Despite the deadline I sent in.
At the time I sent in the Log, I wondered whether my log would be marked as check log or would be ignored.
The contest robot immediately replied with a e-mail, in which he stated that the Log was received ***AFTER DEADLINE***. And in the same mail the robot kindly thanked my for participating and for submitting the log. hi.

A while back, to my surprise, I received a beautiful
Award for the IARU HF World Championship 2011.
Country winner: First place - Single operator - CW only - QRP
It's great fun to participate with QRP and QRPp, but it's even more fun to receive an Award.
I very much like this gesture of great sportmanship.
So my thank goes to the Contest Commity of the IARU HF World Championship. (VE6SH and his team)
Hello Bert,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI continue to be amazed at the contacts you make at QRP and QRPp levels. You've been an inspiration to me. I've worked a bunch of 1000 MPW stations these last few years; and would never have got the nerve until I read your blog. You do a SUPER job with this. You 'da man! Hihi
Hello John, thank you for the kind words. It's great fun to work with 1000 Miles per Watt. I use my Blog to show that this is possible for every one, regardless of the antenna used. hi. I enjoy reading about your 1000 MPW QSO's on an indoor antenna. FB. 73, Bert
VerwijderenCongrats and well done,Bert. Never too late to recognize good work.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenHallo Paul, daar ik nog niet aan gedacht. Maar de kleur misstaat zeker niet in de slaapkamer. hi. 73, Bert
VerwijderenGood morning Bert, very nice wallpaper and congrats on the award. Nice to find a surprise like that in the mail now and then. If I had not been reading your blog I would never had attempted getting an attenuator and giving QRPp a go....since that time I have never looked back!!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks Bert
Hello Mike, I was really surprised when I received the Award. It even took me some time, before I realized that this was the contest, where my Log was ***AFTER DEADLINE***
VerwijderenÍt's great fun to show what is possible with the "Lowest Possible Power". On my turn, I enjoy reading about your 100 mW adventures with indoor ant's. FB. 73, Bert
Geweldig Bert, het is je zondermeer gegund!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenToch mooi dat de te late inzending werd geaccepteerd.
