2025-01-02 23:15:57 | AF0AJ@mastodon.radio | 1 | Success! | Let's get moving with #hamchallenge week one! I just created my actual QSL card a few weeks ago, and had them printed already. But rather than cheat, I designed an alternate for the challenge, just playing around a little with some Colorado-centric film photos I've taken. I'll post an image of the "real" one too (which is the black-and-white one).HC01S #hamradio @hamchallenge |
2025-01-07 13:58:54 | AF0AJ@mastodon.radio | 2 | Success! | It was interesting learning about and listening to the NCDXF beacons (totally unaware they were out there). Last evening on 20m, I could hear all the dashes for 4U1UN, W6WX, and KH6RS, as well as the first three for VE8AT.What's interesting is how little actual audible difference there was between 100W and 10W.

I'm gonna count it as a win!If I cheated too much, I'll do Week 4 twice, using one of my previous callsigns. 🙄 HC03S |
