greetings from Poland

What a nice Christmas gift! Just got back from vacation to Kentucky to visit my parents and among the other Christmas cards, catalogs, and magazines was this card from SP3CFM in Poland. Zbigniew said he would QSL without the need for me to send return postage, and he did. I’d already received his Logbook of the World QSL, but this was the one I was really hoping for.

The contact was made in early October 2009 on 20m PSK31 with less than 5W from my FT-817D.

North to Alaska

I received the QSL card from KL8DX a few weeks after sending him mine as well as a SASE. Nice to have this one in the collection.

This QSO qualified me for the QRP-ARCI’s 1000 Miles Per Watt award, as I mentioned in a previous post.

Not only does Alaska qualify you for such awards as the ARRL’s WAS, it also counts as a DX entity. Go figure!
