N5J Jarvis Island - All time new one

 On August 8, 2024 I was able to work the team N5J on Jarvis Island. It was an ATNO for me: "all time new one" - never worked before DXCC entity. Jarvis Island is an uninhabited 4.5 km2 (1.7 sq mi) coral island located in the South Pacific Ocean, about halfway between Hawaii and the Cook Islands.

My first QSO with N5J was on 15m CW, later followed by QSOs in FT8 digi mode and SSB. Finally it was DXCC #333 for me! 

 After a long break, I will restart to share some updated info from my hamradio activities. Currently the Olympic Games 2024 are running in Paris. I managed to work one of the RadioOlympic awards, by contacting various special stations from France, who are active during the Olympic Games only.

WAEDC-RTTY contest 2018 #1 in Hessen …

Nice certificate just before end of the year. It was the 2nd time that I did submit a log to the WAEDC-contest team. After some successful trials, it was fun to hand out QTC during the WAEDC-RTTY contest. Activation time was limited and bands used 40m and 20m only. Yes! #1 in district Hessen 😎

DP6T/p winning the 2018 IARU1 CW fieldday (fixed class)

Unfortunately we couldn´t do the real fieldday-style setup for this contest. So I decided to go as single OP for the FIXED class in the CW leg of this contest. With the call DP6T/p I managed to win this class from our contest QTH in Wittgenborn. Thanks for all the QSOs. 

WHSC65 Jubilee Award High Speed Club CW

The Radio Telegraphy High Speed Club HSC is celebrating its 65th anniversary in 2016. During the month of March they were issueing a special award WHSC65 for working members of the HSC and special commemorative event stations DP65HSC, PA65HSC, PB65HSC, LZ65HSC and SQ65HSC. It was a nice evening chase, mainly on 40m CW, to collect all the required points for the award.

Active in 2015 ...

Yes, there are also activities in 2015 ... In March we were quite active in the CQ-WPX SSB contest with our station DP6T. Our claimed score is showing #1 in the Multi-Multi class for Germany.
In May there was a participation in the Hessencontest with our clubcall DL0YY and the special DOK 50F31, celebrating 50.anniversary of our club OV Nidderau . The results have been published recently: #1 in the section 80m-SSB and #2 in 40-SSB.
In June an entry as DL3FCG into the King-of-Spain Kontest (SSB) resulted in an overall #10 Single Operator 20m DX (#1 DL).

Nice worldtime clock ...

While surfing over some hamradio websites, I found this nice gadget for a worldtime clock which can be customized and be included in own website projects. The source can be downloaded from www.ClockLink.com
