I worked a bunch of stations on 15 meters just running barefoot. The only time I had to use more was working some of the far east stations on 20 meters. Hong Kong, Indonesia. Thailand, etc. Sunspot number went up for a few days. Then we got hit with a geomagnetic storm. Was talking to a guy in Missouri and one in Indiana on 40m earlier today and both guys just faded out. The only guy that stayed strong was a truck driver in North Carolina. The truck driver is a cool guy. He is taking a job for a couple years in Japan and he already has his Japanese license so he can transmit from there. I will be listening for him and hopefully can make a contact. Jim |

Well, Voice of Russia did it to me this time...
**GUIANA FRENCH, PRIDNESTROVIE, RUSSIA, Voice of Russia, 9735 AND 9665 AND 15425 kHz, 17 March 2010, 0200z-0300z. Signed "partial" data card "St. Clement's Church at the Corner;" - For reception report by email May 18, 2010, in 14 days. I say "partial" data card because - This is one of those situations where, by describing my receipt of their station on one frequency from one place in the *actual report* (Pridnestrovie) but comparing it to signals from two other sites at the same time (French Guiana and Russia) in the *cover letter,* they decided to verify *all three* in the same QSL card, without identifying any one of them at all anywhere in the text. AAAHHH! So what do I do? All three freqs are identified on the card, and I am sure I was able to hear all three at the same time (I know I did not fudge anything) - can I rightfully say that this card covers all three? Here's what In intend to do, just to satisfy myself - in the compartment with this card, I am going to add a note card with the A10 schedule passages that Identify these three locations as transmitter sites. I don't care what anyone else thinks :-) Bruce Jensen California, USA |

This time I skipped that step, assuming (perhaps too much) that they would place the TX sites on the cards - much to my chagrin :-( I won't make that mistake again. Anyway, the HFCC / Aoki schedules bear out the scheduled transmissions and their respective sites, except for the mistake they made 3 nights running where they switched Fr. Guiana to English. For my own reference, I am placing that information with the card, and one of these days I will get each of the two relay sites individually (I already have a P-K card). I know what I heard - so what else matters, right? :-) Bruce |

This is earlier than June of 2010, but seeing as there was a previous thread about Korea and this thread about QSLs, let me take a little poetic license and combine the two... Got a QSL from Ed, P5/4L4FN on amateur RTTY. (P5=North Korea, 4L4FN his Russian home call). He normally lives in Georgia (the Russian one, not the US one) but was living in Pyongyang for some kind of U.N. food program, and in a moment of weakness, the North Koreans let him do ham radio for almost a year -- before they had a change of heart and threw him off the air. The bad news was, he was operating at 50 baud (66 wpm), the European 'standard', not the 45.45 baud (60 wpm) much more commonly used RTTY speed. The good news was that this threw a lot of US hams off the scent...they could not print him. Fortunately, I realized what Ed was doing and was able to change the speed of my TNC in time to bag him. * :D So, it's one of my two most treasured QSLs -- the other being for a packet radio contact with the MIR space station. That's pretty neat - it must suck to live in NK, though. |

**ALBANIA, Radio Tirana, 7425 kHz, April 17, 2010 during my local
evening (have to check time). Partial data card (date and freq. only), unsigned but with a handwritten ending "English Section." Very thin paper stock, picturing an abstract pen drawing of a young woman in traditional garb. with station logo and words "Albania" and "Radio Tirana." In airmail envelope with complimentary postcard of the ancient Butrint Amphitheatre with a handwritten signed note, "Thank you for writing to us, Best Wishes, Radiso Tirorys (sp)." Received in 51 days. This was a very tough station to hear and understand, very weak signal here in WNAm, so I am pretty pleased with this one. Bruce Jensen California, USA |

About how many do you collect a month, Jim? Do you try to exchange QSLs for each contact? Bruce Depends on propagation and what I send for. In March we had some good propagation so I sent out a bunch of QSL's to the far east. Recently I sent for a couple local things like the Indy Speedway QSL's. I might send a card to the new stations I worked in Iceland and Kazakhstan but then I already have QSL's from those countries. If someone asks for a QSL, I will send one. I don't exchange with everyone I talk to. The postage cost is too high. The card I sent to Hong Kong came back with a $3 stamp and I only sent $2 and self addressed envelope to cover the return. Now that is a $3 Hong Kong, China stamp so I don't know what its actually worth but you see where it can get expensive for all involved. I just talked to a guy in Cuba with 100 watts while I was sitting here and he contacted a few stations in Europe so conditons are not bad on 20m. Still waiting to hear Arnie Coro on the air. Jim |
