2025-01-19 04:06:10 | NO5IG@mastodon.radio | 3 | Success! | This week's #hamchallenge was cool. I managed to work Norway, Ireland, Greece, Brazil, Madeira Islands, England, and Spain. All FT8. I wanted to work someone on SSB, but didn't manage to after a few evenings of trying. Oh well, I'll call that a HC03S anyway. @hamchallenge |
