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.
United Arab Emirates
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
