To Triple Play or not to Triple Play

Triple play :  have all US States in Logbook of the World confirmed in Phone, CW and digital modes.

This is the LOTW output.   

So if it sounds like a duck, walks like a duck and smells like a duck...

NOT  !

North Dakota in Phone was made before 2009.  So no count for TP.

Sometimes an award isn't fun nor fair.  And 82 US$ for the plaque... this time I create my own award.

First Meteor scatter QSOs

Today,  a new step in my ham radio career.

Not yet EME, but almost nearby.  In stead of the big moon, it are smaller (but more) stones.


My first  meteor scater QSO's on 50 Mhz.

First MSK144 QSO ever : LA4CIA

followed by SM7CAD, LA3QAA, LA2D, IK5YJY and GM4VVX.

Next : increase confirmed 6 meter DXCC-countries and obtain VUCC award

next-next : install an Optibeam 6m antenna on top of the currently used Steppir.
