A photograph taken from my living. The sunset looks so beautiful. I closed down my blog, but as most of you know, not for long. But I need to know what other hams are doing on the air, and the blogroll in Blogger is very handy. I was busy with taken photographs of a horse show. Almost 900. This weekend the PACC contest, but I had no time for it. And conditions seems to be poor today.

I made a few QSO's today with PSK31 on 20 and 40 meter. And all of them were in a hurry. No exchange of power, antenna or any thing else. No, QSL 73 GL and gone are they. What is happening? No more time for a normal QSO? If is is an exclusive DX station, okay I can understand. But a normal range QSO... everything must be done in a hurry. I need a new thrill I guess. Most of the QSO's are boring. Sometimes I think I should stop for awhile.

I was early this morning so I tuned to 40m (7076 KHz) JT65A frequency. I worked KJ4DHF Tim from Virginia. He was -16dB here and he gave me -13dB. My power was 25 watts. Only one qso because I had breakfast with my children. Just a short moment for taking advantage of the grey zone.

Still no access to the new logbook of QRZ.com and it was not possible to attach a jpeg picture. They wrote to me that they don't accept jpeg's. Huh? Jpeg the most used photo file in the world. I am back to my old system: my log book in Excel. Still works great.

There is a bug in the new QRZ.com logbook. I cannot add an entry in the log, so a pop up message appear that told me something is wrong. I sent QRZ.com an email and they will try to fix the problem.

What about the new log book of QRZ.com? It looks good and what I like most: it shows the worked DXCC (countries) I started the QRZ.com log book in October 21 , 2009. 127 DXCC, while my own record is 130 since I started after a very long period of absence in 2008. Never mind, I am no real DXCC chaser after all.

This morning I was WSPR-ing on 6 meters, for perhaps winter Es. But no spots on 6 meter today.

QRPp with WSPR is the new trend. A lot of my fellow bloggers doing the same thing. Here my results this morning on 40 meter with 50mW.

And 10 meter yesterday with 50mW for a short while.
