But I'm still missing T31 on several band slots.
By the way my IOTA score is at the moment 480 islands. I'm slowly getting there.
Enjoy the T31 QSL.

WOW! Rare QSL!
Finally I've got the QSL from T31T. Worked him on SSB on 20 m. Was not easy to get the QSO but I finally managed to get trough the pile and the QSO was there.
But I'm still missing T31 on several band slots.

To late for IOTA update.
Well, I made the IOTA update yesterday. And when I arrived at my home this was in my mailbox!!
AF-050 was a new one for me. But I'm so far away from any important levels in the IOTA programme so it will be entered next year. But Tidra Island was worked on 40 m CW. Thanks Vlad for QSO!
WX is Amazing for end of January. Temp outside is 5 C ( 41 F )!!
Now I will go out and install an inverted V for 80 m to use for local QSO's.
So CUL!!

New Mode!
Today I've got QSL from the S9YY operation. I made a few QSO's with these guys. But the most important one was RTTY QSO on 40 m. This RTTY QSO was a new mode. So the only slots I'm missing S9 is 160 m and 12 and 10 m.
Nice card and a well performed DX-Expedition. Thanks to DH7WW for QSL.
No Winter so far. But we have learned a new Word!!! "Alternative facts"!!! I knew a very good phrase! "Be sure you have the brain in gear Before engaging mouth"!!
We will have a lot of fun in the future!!!!

New Band slot.
Yesterday I got a QSL from JY9FC as a confirmation of a QSO on 10 m CW. And this was a new band slot for me.
And this add one Point to my Challenge Award. Not so much left to go to the next level 2000! But it is slow.
Worked ZL on 80 m a few Days ago. And got it confirmed on LoTW next day. Thanks Gary, ZL2FIB.
My car had a MOT inspection on Friday morning and to my joy it passed without a remark. So I'm allowed to drive around with it for one more year!!
WX is still very mild. Temp at the moment is -1,5 C ( 29 F ) and a clear sky.
And USA got a new President!!
That's all for now. CUL

WOW!
I must say that this is a new record! Today I received QSL from DU1UD/P from OC-126. QSO was 7 Jan 2017 and today it is 18 Jan 2017. Amazing. Thanks M0OXO for super fast delivery!!!
Hope the QSL from A70X will be as Quick as DU1UD/P. This is super for my coming update to RSGB for my IOTA score.
I will have a Close Watch over my mail box over the coming day's.
So to all of you out there, here is a QSL Manager that really do a fantastic job!!

A new band slot.
Not much is happening at the moment. So every event is good news. And today I received a new band slot for VU7. It was from the IOTA expedition from AS-011. Not new but the QSO on 15 m CW was a new one for my Challenge Award. Call used was VU7MS.
But I'm still waiting for a few IOTA's to arrive. Dead line is 31 Jan 2017.
There is no order in the laws of Nature at the moment. One day it is clear sky and temperature is -10 C ( 14 F ). Next day it is cloudy and 0 C ( 32 F ). Strange Winter so far.

Missed Award!!
OPS! I missed this Award from Miller-DX-Club. If I had been a little more attentive I should have ordered this funny and interesting Award earlier. And also achieved a lower number. 1798 is not so good but what the h..k!
Here you can see Santa's progress over Russia on X-Mas. Some one out there might calculate the speed he had to travel to keep the Schedule. Must have been breathtaking!
Well this end's the R?17NY reporting. Thanks to Miller-DX-Club for the initiative. This has been a lot of fun. See you all next X-Mas!
I have ordered QSL via OQRS for the following IOTA operations. A70X from AS-088 and DV1UD/P from OC-126. But I guess that they wont show up before the deadline for IOTA update at 31-Jan-2017. Both of these are ordered via M0OXO OQRS site.
Take care all you readers. CUL

This morning it was cold!!
Temperature was -25 C ( -13 F ) around 05:00 UTC this morning. And this is Cold even for moi!!
But it will get warmer and some white fluff is predicted later this day.
Discussion about the use of remote receivers to Catch rare DX for DXCC (SDR's).
Well, what about DXCC rule 9.b. Has anyone seen it, read it, and also understand it??? This rule says, and I quote: "All transmitters and receivers comprising a station used for a specific contact must be located within a 500-meter diameter circle." end quote.
So, in my World this will disqualify the use of remote receivers such as SDR's in same/another country (more than 500 m away from your transmitter) and transmit from your home QTH!!?? Or do I interpret the rule wrong? But if the use of a complete remote station with X-Mitter's and Receiver's at the same location to work the DX than it is OK. But only as long as it is in your country!!??
I guess this question will escalate with the increase use of SDR's all around the World.
But if you don't participating in the DXCC Award programme you can do what ever you like and don't bother about any rules what so ever.
I like to use my station as it is without any help of external receivers or transmitters. And I'm quite well equipped, or...........................???
Well, now I have put my nose out for a real storm. But this is my opinion and I will respect any other ham that have a different approach in this question.
Temp is Rising! It is now only -18 C ( 0 F ) outside. Soon I will be able to get a coffee in the garden!!!

I've got them all!
Yesterday I worked RA17NY on 20 m CW. He Count 5 Point. But as I'm outside Russia he Count 10 Points. So now I'm qualified for all Awards from Miller-DX-Club. Super fun! Here are the last one. And I was #1044 to achieve it!
I also finally received QSL from my 50 MHz QSO's with Mongolia. I worked him with both his signals. JT1CO and JT5DX. Here are the proof!
But my DXCC for 50 MHz is growing very slow. I have only 51 confirmed so far. But I will keep on struggling to achieve the 100 goal!!!
So click on the Pictures and enjoy!

One more Award!
Now I'm qualified for most of the available Awards for the Miller-DX-Club. But I will only show you the Gold one. It is a lot of fun to work these hams. And as you can see I'm the number 1401 that has achieved this level.
This will end at 14 Jan 2017. So there is still time to get your own Awards. Get on the radio and start chasing.
Well, Winter is back. Temp outside at the moment is -9 C ( 15,8 F ) and clear sky. There are some snow on the way during this afternoon if the prediction is correct. But it is mosquito free outside for sure!!!
Take care. CUL

2017!
Wow!! Times goes fast. It is already 2017. Where will this end??!!
For all IOTA hunters. A rare Island is QRV at this moment. It is only claimed by 7% according to IOTA Directory (so it must be rare?). Call they use is A70X and Island name is Al Safliyah, AS-088.
Worked them on 14260 KHz split 5 up a few minutes ago.
Borrowed their logo from their home page https://asia088.com/news/
Temperature record for New Years Eve for this part of Sweden was broken. Temp yesterday was 10,5 C (50,9 F). But today we are back to freezing again 0 C (32 F). And there is a small chance for snow showers.
Take care and HNY to you all!
