Although it was just a station in a neighbour country. Did I tell I made the QSO in the Dutch language? A certain (flemish) region in Belgium is talking Dutch as well. So, that was easy for me and easy to understand. But only find the fox is already a accomplishment.<br /><br />@Phil, I hope those foxes in Alaska don't have guns like the one on the photo. Otherwise you're living in a dangerous environment.<br />As soon as I know the exact dates of those contests I write them down in our home agenda. So my XYL knows weeks or months before I got something important to do on the radio.<br /><br />@John, in this solarcycle (if it is arriving) I want to specialize in the 10m band. But till I got my 5 or 6 element beam up it will take some time. I still hope I will manage to have the antennatower up again this summer. But actually hope that for 2 years already without succes. So nothing else is left then my vertical for 10m, and I'm always surprised I can make some QSOs with it in te 10m contest.<br /><br />73, BasPE4BAS, Bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958141238330445285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676983452144254088.post-483431160039141972011-01-11T16:07:43.022+01:002011-01-11T16:07:43.022+01:00I hope conditions this year will allow the 10m con...I hope conditions this year will allow the 10m contest to be worthy of our time.

My wife is always asking me if I have radio plans on certain weekends. I need to look at the year and mark those certain contests so not only does she know, but I won't forget.KL8DXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200585132950073517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676983452144254088.post-62471569462334065562011-01-11T12:21:44.840+01:002011-01-11T12:21:44.840+01:00I have read about the fox hunt contests but not ta...I have read about the fox hunt contests but not taken part sounds like a nice challenge. Also when you make contact with a "fox" there is a sense of accomplishment. Very good hunting Bas.VE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.com
