WOW! Yesterday was a VERY good day at my mailbox. I received THREE QSL's confirming EME QSO's with New Countries: F5AQX, V31EME, and HSØZIL. This brings my 2-M Country Totals to: Worked / Confirmed : 34 / 29 – As of 31-January-2018. I still have QSL's outstanding from Alaska, Asiatic Russia, European Russia, Australia and Romania.
Here are images of two of the QSL's that came in yesterday. The first is from HSØZIL which was a total surprise for me to work. I did not think I had a chance to work him and was not even ready to transmit when his CQ was decoded on my screen. Click HERE to see a Post on my Blog for the details and read the section titled "UPDATE."
The next QSL shown is from my first EME DX'pedition, V31EME. Click HERE for the DX'pedition web page. Uwe Danzinger, DG8NCO, traveled from his home in Muenchberg, Germany, to Belize, Central America, with antennas, computer, radio, amps, rotors, etc. He set up a portable EME station and managed to work 330 stations on 2-M and 70cm EME while he was there. Prior to his travels to Belize, he shipped his amplifiers and got stuck with paying over $687 in Custom Duties! His total trip cost over $4,200. Just to work Moonbounce! AMAZING! Thank you, Uwe, for giving me my first EME contact with Belize and my first EME DX'pedition worked! Below is the front and back of his beautiful QSL. Click on any image to see it larger.
