One down, Eleven to go – QSO a Day
As previously mentioned, I successfully completed a QSO a Day goal in 2012 and was brave enough (or perhaps crazy enough) to attempt it once again in 2014.
With January officially behind me, I’ve managed to get on the air and make at least one QSO each and every day for each of the 31 days in January. I’ll admit…I’m starting out slow and pacing myself. Most days its been “one and done” but a few other days I’ve managed to spend more time on the air.
For January 2014, I’ve worked 73 (great number) QSO’s and all have been using the JT65 mode. While each successful day was a high point, the greatest success was working French Polynesia and increasing my DXCC count by one more.
While my actual “on air” time has been limited, I have been spending time assisting a new startup amateur radio club and completing a few projects related to the hobby.
The QSO breakdown for January is as follows:
Mode
Number QSO’s
JT65
73

PSK31
