I found out about this award yesterday from a friend. I am really going to have to get better prepared for the next time ISS starts transmitting again, so I can collect the whole series of images along with the award.

I screwed up with this one as well and submitted on the wrong call. But its still valid as it only takes in the Fcalls log. Still not a bad effort for an Fcall really. Shows it can be done with a little CW and SSB.

Dumb arse did not notice he was logged into the fcall account when applying for this.

There are a whole bunch of new awards now up on EQSL.

Found 3 new confirmation on LOTW, San Andres Island, Guadeloupe and Portugal.

This has taken quite some time to achieve. I started this journey late 2014 and now its almost 5 years later and I have gotten there. Award number 103. Not a lot of people have achieved the activators award. 44 contacts in 44 parks can be a bit of work depending on where you live.

Its taken me just under 5 years to make DXCC 100. Most of these contacts were made low power. Fcall in VK is 10w and I worked about 80 of these on that license. The next 20 took a license upgrade and 20m, FT8, 30w and 9 months to make. Yeah, anyone who says you can make DXCC in a weekend using FT8 is deluded. I worked 67 confirmed in 9 months, not 100 in a weekend. HAHA. Anyway I am pleased to have finally got DXCC 100. WOOO Me.
