@DJ5CW Of course you are right! HC07S #hamchallenge @hamchallenge

Thanks to @DJ5CW for #lcwo, my CW advisor Lutz DM6EE, and my peers in the CW academy foundation class Jan/Feb '26 - now I am looking forward practising my #morse skills.

#HamChallenge Week 44: Receive a QRSS signal on the HF bands

Inspired by an article in CQ DL (monthly magazine of DARC) I used now and then the software FSKview to monitor the #QRSS in the #30m band.

I definitely saw some QRSS signals (examples in the pictures below). However I find it very hard to visually decode these signals. I haven't yet decoded a call sign with certainty. Therefore I do not yet claim success for this challenge.

52 Week Ham Radio Challenge 2025 - Week 37: Work 10 DXCCs on FT8

3D, 4L, 9V, BY, CU, DL, EA, F, I, K, JA, LA, LY, M, OE, OH, OK, OM, OZ, TY, PA, PY, SP, TY, V6, YB, ZA, ZD7

#hamchallenge week 28: Receive a station on 6m via sporadic E. Well, the #6m Es season is about to end; typically it starts in mid May and ends in mid August. At this time (09:45 UTC) there are only a few HB9 stations coming in on FT8 (via sporadic E, working JAs!), and the local beacon SR5DTM is very loud on CW. There is no activity on CW and SSB right now, and I will take this as an opportunity to call CQ on 50095 kHz for some time to see if someone bites! #hamradio #HC28S @hamchallenge

Bulkhead mount PP prototype, should look nice eventually.. Still rough around the edges, no matter how many chamfers I add.

I designed this inspired by another similar SB50 mount, since every PP mount I found was just perpendicular to the panel and very simplistic.

For this week's #hamchallenge : My primary logging software is #Wavelog. The webserver and backend database both run on virtualized machines in a #HighAvailability #Proxmox #cluster (same one that hosts this instance!). Those are backed up daily to another machine on site via PBS, then those backups are synced to a remote server running in a house in another city.

In addition, my log is also synced to both #QRZ and #LOTW every 6 hours or so, but I didn't think it qualifies as a true backup, since there is some data which those logs don't record.

I just made two quick #qslcard front page designs for the #CEPT entities I tend to have most portable #QSOs from: Balearic Islands and Czech Republic. Request a card if we had such a /P QSO - they'll come via the #DARC bureau. #HamRadio #Amateurfunk #hamchallenge @hamchallenge HC01S
