CQ WPX CW contest with Steve VK3TDX

Hi All...

Steve was very gracious to invite me to his QTH for the contest:

 We are both in "pre contest" attitude and practicing.  The computers are set and the anticipation level is high.

I'm sure we are going to have lots of fun.... Please give us a call...

Good luck to all

Apology for the poor quality of photos,   I've used simple camera.

VK2PN as AX2PN on 17th May - World Telecommnication day

Australian station are able to operate under the AX call on:

(a) 26 January;
(b) 25 April;
(c) 17 May.


Today is 17th May the World Telecommunication day I've dusted off the AX2PN call and operated on 20 m LP to Europe for about one and a half hour.

Good fun, but the brain is still fogged up with jet-lag from yesterday (about 18 hours on a plane between Santiago de Chile and Sydney) and more than 24 hours without sleep.

QSOs were uploaded to eQSL and Club log.

No of QSOs = 104 Operating split - huge dogpile.

What a coincidence...??

Home for the first day... badly jet-lagged but happy.

Turned the radio on to "test it"..  and worked on a first call HD8A Galapagos:

DX expedition of Alex HD2A and Alberto HC2AQ are active from the Galapagos islands as HD8A for 4 days starting May 15th.

Now in retrospect I'm sorry that I did not take my little KX3 and did not try some operating.

No Amateur radio topics last few weeks... So how about a few photos from South America???

Enjoy as we enjoyed
