Jim, K8ELR, forwarded this to me this afternoon:
KURDISTAN DXPEDITION NEEDS MORSE OPS
Paul Ewing, N6PSE, says that he has several open positions for CW operators on the DXpedition team headed to Kurdistan in April. Ewing says that costs for this DXpedition are quite reasonable and they will be operating from a very safe and secure facility. [...]

This week, I made some notable QSOs:

Monday night, I contacted K0HL, operating CW mobile from his truck in ND (see right). On his QRZ.Com page, he lists his occupation as clockmaker. I need to e-mail and ask him how he became a clockmaker. I’ve always had an interest in clockmaking.
Tuesday night, I had a QSO [...]

Jack Dunigan, 5X7JD, is my first guest blogger. He is the Senior Management Leader of Aidchild, Inc., a project providing a home for orphans living with AIDS in Uganda. His ham radio blog is called Ham Radio Safari. Thanks, Jack!
I came to Uganda in October from the the U.S. Virgin Islands in the [...]

Yesterday night, propagation was exceptional on 40m. The band seemed open to just about everywhere. I made six contacts on 40m, including one in PA, one in MO, and four in Europe. I could also hear stations from Central America, but didn’t get a chance to work them.
Of the four European contacts, two were notable:

OL22ASE. [...]

I sat down a bit earlier and worked in quick succession:

CT8/DL2MDU
OK2KJU
IK2DAD—another DX station for my collection of QSL cards from stations whose callsigns spell words!
EI6IZ

I don’t seem to work many EIs so that was a cool one. And all these guys were using simple wire antennas, so you know the band was hot.

I had kind of a busy day operating today and made some great contacts, so I thought I’d write a bit about them.
I got to WA2HOM this morning about 11 am and fired up the rig. 40m was in fine shape, and I made several CW contacts in quick succession. Then, for some reason, I [...]

Here are some miscellaneous observations from my operations over the past week or so:

W1MX Turns 100. The MIT Radio Society, whose callsign is W1MX turned 100 on April 30, 2009. There was a great article on the history of the club in the April 2009 issue of QST. I had just read that article last [...]

Last weekend was a pretty busy one here at KB6NU.
I got started on Friday night, working several stations in the NH QSO Party. I only worked five stations, but it was fun. Then, for some reason, I decided to tune around in the phone band and came across WX4MM, working the YL-OM contest. I [...]

It started as an ordinary Sunday. The Phillies had won game 2 of the World Series and were ahead in Game 3 all in one day, the Eagles had won in spite of their efforts, and my mind was fading to oblivion. And that’s without chemical or libation enhancement. You see, through [...]
