Best DX (and my one and only Asian QSO!):
260723z JE1ZWT, Japan, 40m, 6828 mi (1366 mi/watt)
I heard and called ZL2AMI/New Zealand several times but he did not come back to
me.
Thanks to NL7G/Alaska (251827z, 20m) for pulling my QRP sig out of a big pile
up.
Every European QSO was a treat. Strange that the weaker EU stns heard my QRP
sigs just fine, usually answering me on my first call, while the stronger sigs
did not recognize me at all (QRZ? or AGN?).
Had a pipeline into Italy whenever I heard them. They also answered on my first
call.
AFRICA was the only continent not heard. I did hear/print US stns working
African stns. I just could not hear them with my wire antenna.
I was surprised having quite a few 80m and 15m QSOs. 10m and 15m were open but
not many stns were heard.
Worked HC8N/Galapagos Island 40-10 meters. Tried them on 80m but 2500 mi is
stretching it a bit for my NVIS antenna even though I worked them on 5 bands
last year. They were a beacon on all bands!
KH7X/Hawaii, whom I worked on 15-40m, moved me to 10m (from 15m) but I could not
hear him there at all, at any time.
