The last update of Ameland Isl Eu038

Ameland again a big hit. At first i had of course a few problems. I stepped on the Fishing dipole so this one section is broke again. Also in 2009 one element was broke and had to be replaced. What i did learn was the SWR on 40mtr. When this is going up the Fishing pole in comming down. And again this happend. So i also had to fix this. I rememberd the wind on Ameland. A little peparation is needed to stablize the flagpole. It’s ok to cary the dipole without any wind 🙂 . Also has a few request for 6mtr this year. I worked a lot of Eu stations it was fun. A total op 917 qso’s in the log. Worked 59dxcc and 159 slots. All the qsl data is uploaded via Eqsl and Clublog.

If you need any more information just send me a note. No need to send any qsl. I will send out all the qsl’s via globalqsl.com. But if you don’t have a bureau just send me a qsl direct. Don’t forget the postage and the SAE.

Thank you for Ameland 2010.

Just came back home from work . I had a early morning shift.
I did see some spots on 6mtr. I know that the setup i’m using is little.
Only radio power with a 4 elm on a SteppIr beam. It’s not the best option.
But we have to deal with it. Any other antenna is not possible.

I made a very nice qso with Vince EA6AM. He was booming 5/9++
A small recording from the qso after me. He had a small pile up hihi.

We all know that the digital world is taking his hand.
We have many options to set our qso online via a logbook or database.
For example. Eqsl, Clublog, Hamradio, HRD and many more.

But to confirm your qso’s the only way to do this is by LOTW.
This options is aproved by the Arrl. And it’s allowed to count the Dxcc.

To set this up is very easy. Many people before me done this allready.

So get online and get your Lotw today.
Asign for a Lotw and send a copy of your license to the arrl.
In a few weeks time you will get your Lotw encrypted file for the Lotw TQSL program.

Here a small explanation how to setup Lotw in a good order.

– Register your Lotw
– Download the TQSL program and install
– Send a Copy of your license
– After a few weeks time install the encrypted file for TQSL.
– Make a encypted file to upload from your adi file.
– Upload this to LOTW after login

Those Dxcc that you don’t have confirmed via Qsl count as a Dxcc. Isn’t that kewl.
