| 2025-01-22 23:19:03 | df7cb@mastodon.social | 4 | Success! | TIL my ham radio call sign DF7CB had been issued to someone else in 1981 before I got it 1995. Searching the internet had never shown any sign of this before, and I was never greeted with that name on air. Thanks DC1TC!https://archive.org/details/Winter_1981_Foreign_Amateur_Callbook/page/81/mode/1upHC04S |

| 2025-01-23 23:30:58 | df7cb@mastodon.social | 3 | Success! | I just worked 5B4AMX (Cyprus = Asia) for a new bandpoint on 160m FT8. Given my antenna is only made for 80m, that's about as DX as I can do at the moment - a proper 20m vertical with ground radials will hopefully follow in spring. HC03S 😺 #hamchallenge @hamchallenge |
| 2025-01-25 22:55:36 | df7cb@mastodon.social | 4 | Progress update... | I think my contest call sign DF7C was never issued as call sign before, but there are other namespaces 😏 - DF7C is a nice Chinese diesel locomotive with 2000 kW 🚋 https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:DF7C_Orange.jpghttps://www.crrcgc.cc/zyjcen/2021-07/15/article_C7646CE2462742819B5543366A822D7A.html#hamchallenge HC04 |
| 2025-02-09 22:51:39 | df7cb@mastodon.social | 6 | Success! | 420 RTTY QSO in this weekend's CQ-WPX contest. The last one was with 4U1ITU, the ITU headquarters in Geneva, which counts as a separate country in Ham radio terms, an ATNO for me, an All Time New One.#hamradio #hamchallenge HC06S |
| 2025-02-10 21:44:20 | df7cb@mastodon.social | 20 | Success! | I wanted to test the new fldigi version 4.2.06 before uploading it to #Debian so I jumped ahead to #hamchallenge HC20S and decoded the DWD RTTY transmission on 10100.8 kHz.Reception there was a bit thin, but the text told me to go to 4583 kHz instead:CQ CQ CQ DE DDK2 DDH7 DDK9FREQUENCIES 4583 KHZ 7646 KHZ 10100.8 KHZRYRYRYRYRYRYRYZCZC 351 FQEN70 EDZW 102000NILNNNN@hamchallenge |
| 2025-03-02 21:50:32 | df7cb@mastodon.social | 10 | Success! | I made my first LEO satellite QSOs today 🚀! 3x CW on RS-44 to SV, OM and 9H. Doppler was manageable, the actual hard part was holding the antenna for the whole pass 💪 ... HC10S #hamchallenge |
| 2025-03-19 00:29:23 | df7cb@mastodon.social | 1 | Success! | I admit that I was lagging 5+ years behind on sending #hamradio QSL cards, mostly because the task "if I am sending a card to someone anyway, let's include all the other QSOs with them on the same card" sounded hard to express in SQL. (It is not.)The #hamchallenge was a good excuse to finally fix that problem. Now I have both paper and electronic QSL cards, and the first bunch of 1000 cards is on the way to the press.
