Let's give it a try @hamchallenge First challenge to design a QSL card as HC01 #hamchallenge Nice opportunity since my current cards display an outdated address. I probably will again go for a photo layout with landscape from my region or city. I still like to receive paper QSL cards.

2025-01-06 00:03:52	dd1mat@mastodon.social	2	Progress update...	Started listening to the NCDXF IARU beacons via WebSDR at http://kiwisdr.com/public/ as preparation for the #hamchallenge HC02 Let's collect the data
2025-01-12 20:26:47	dd1mat@mastodon.social	2	Success!	Final day of the #hamradio #challenge to monitor as many NCDXF IARU beacons in one week as possible.I remember having used the beacons very early to detect possible band openings. This has been very useful especially in times with low solar activity and low MUF. Hearing a beacon on 10M or 12M helped detecting the higher band openings.HC02SThis week I used the WebSDR from http://kiwisdr.com/public/ but I remember also FAROS as windows application.
