Limited time, did not hear any Japan station at all.
Worked some few dx, only 23 US stations in log.
Best qsos was 9G2HO...TO7D...PJ4Z...V37DX
Have to work sunday, but manage some qsos in the
evening. I think I will have ended up with 1000 q's
if I had run the full 30 hours...same as the last years.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019

Happy new year 2019 to most of you. A year go fast and 2018 is history.

In 2018 i was only qrv 7 months,missed a lot of dx due to my neighbor

led lamps. He filled up his house with cheap China lamps, they caused

strong Qrn from 7 Mhz to 50 Mhz, signal strength was S9+20    *24-7*

A disaster for me as an activ ham-radio user, 5 months no radio.

But God listen to good boy's and he changed his lamp during late Autumn.

This year I worked 186 dxcc country's ,not bad for 7 months.

2018 will also stand for the New digi mode, that ruined the hamradio,  FT8.

I'm not a big fan of this mode, it's just a qso between to computer and

and 2 watch adjusters.....they Call it dx'ing ...realy ???

Lets see what 2019 wil bring...maybe i also try this loser dx-ing!!!

So please you UP there bring us some more sunspot's
