I checked clublog today and discovered I reached 200 DXCC worked on 60m...
Remember the first day we were allowed on 60m here in the Netherlands? That was on December 3rd 2015. Read my blogpost here: https://pe4bas.blogspot.com/2015/12/first-day-5-mhz-in-netherlands.html. First QSOs were made with JT65A, can you imagine that was the most populair digimode at that time.
The most unusual contact made on 60m was with PH9HB/AM. A contact that was legal in 2015 but with the new regulations became illigal and so will never happen again. Read here: https://pe4bas.blogspot.com/2015/12/airplane-on-60m.html
It is incredibe I've contacted 200 DXCC on 60m in about 8 years. If you find that a lot, well I'm not even close to others that reached over 250 DXCC on 60m. I wonder how? Because 60m is not legal in a lot of DXCC. Even I can not guarantee I made 100% legal QSOs with all 200 DXCC...
Above the map with my contacts, all 2500+. Used modes CW, SSB, JT65, JT9, FT8, FT4.
Good morning Bas, well I can say for sure that 60m has been very good to you!

Absolutely Mike, but rule number one is that you have to be there to work the DX! 73, Bas
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I'm only at half the number, but I wonder what kind of antenna you are using for 60 m?

Hello Sverre, the main antenna for 80/60/40 and 30m is my 2x22m inverted-V doublet. Apex at about 12m agl. 73, Bas
ReplyDeleteGefeliciteerd. Ja, die /AM Airborne Mobile is een interessante :-)
