I'm sorry to say this, but I have received several Direct QSL cards in the post - some with return postage included, but in the process of moving everything to the sailboat - I have managed to misplace or lose a box where I had collected all the last ones received. So - there are 10-15 of you who have sent me a direct card request and have not received one back from me - for this im realy sorry and ask you to send me an email - including your callsign and postal address - so I can send you my card by mail - thank you very much! 

QSL cards:

I do not send e-QSL cards automatically, but I have created a feature where you can download e-QSL cards for all my call signs and for all the types of modes we have had over the years.
You can find that function by clicking  <<<< Here >>>  ( This is a link to my homepage in Austria )
This Generate and Download do work for my OE4KSF, OE4KSF/QRP,  OE4KSF/MM and OE21FTDMC

When I operate OE4KSF/MM and LB8FH/MM I´m on this boat.

QSL cards:

I feel a bit guilty writing this, but I'm getting too many QSL cards now and am having trouble answering you all.
So please don't send me any paper QSL cards for digital modes unless it's because you really collect cards and want to get a card sent in return.

I upload my QSO's in real time to QRZ and LoTW(?).  

Program in use :  I'm using WSJT-X - Logging to my MacLoggerDX as my local loggsystem - and MacLoggerDX sends logs directly to loTW,  QRZ,  Club Log  etc etc 

I've said it before and I'll say it again - Save on a lot of different things, but don't save on coax and plugs.

For FT8/4 digital modes I'm using my litle Yaesu FTdx10 or ICOM 9100 ( allways at 50W max) on my Mosley PRO-67
Be aware that if the band is busy, I will not always respond to stations that I have worked on the same band and mode before.

And I'm more than happy if you take the time to confirm on QRZ or LoTW.

This is my hobby space at the moment

My Mosley PRO-67 C3 6 Band Beam, 7 El, and the top of my 26m vertical in the background


It was fun 50 years ago and it still is :-)

When I'm in creative mode, my desk doesn't look pretty to anyone but me, but it's an El Dorado to me. 

My WSPR receiver setup  - 8 bands Simultaneously

 

My attempt to minimize the risk of lightning strikes. But of course a direct hit would do a lot of damage. This picture is from
the original installation, but later all coax and plugs were replaced, and with a massive single conductor to the ground rods. 

 

Hehe - got the WAS on 20m, but still missing 2 on 40m, 30m, 17m, 15m and 12m:-)
Hawaii, Utah and Wyoming seem to be the hardest to get confirmed.

The Master of Oceania - I've been trying to get the last one I need for a long time now.
I have many QSO's that are not confirmed and that's a shame

 

This antenna DO work - probably one of my best antennas ever , but needs a load of radials of different lengths
I use it on 160m, 80m, 60m, 40m and 30m - for Vertical polarizing.
