At that moment I wondered why he had not many replies. I spotted him on the cluster but even after that only a few responded to him. I don't know exactly how many DXCC I worked with QRP.

I really should count it some day. 73, BasPE4BAS, Bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958141238330445285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676983452144254088.post-54193987336992123882016-04-04T13:27:25.709+02:002016-04-04T13:27:25.709+02:00Tnx Sverre, I did the best I could. 73, BasTnx Sverre, I did the best I could. 73, BasPE4BAS, Bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958141238330445285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676983452144254088.post-54613294661317463492016-04-03T22:44:10.724+02:002016-04-03T22:44:10.724+02:00Congrats Bas.

I always look forward to reading about ...Hello Bas<br /><br />I always look forward to reading about your endeavors - QRP or not. You have a very good writing style that people can relate to. I am glad you enjoyed participating and taking on the QRP DXCC Challenge. Those who take it seriously like you did have the most to learn from it. There are three people who have daytime jobs in the participants - you, me and N3CZ. N3CZ is a very experienced QRP contester and radio operator with several DXpeditions "under his belt" and he has a decent gain antenna - a 3 element SteppIR. The rest of the guys are retired but on top of that they also have big antennas and they are also experienced DXers (all on the DXCC Honor Roll). W4KA's big antenna broke down so he was forced to use wire antennas. So you were able to prove that with perseverance, your antenna system and your effort, you were also able to do it in less than 100 days. The fact that the other guys beat us in the time it takes does not matter because the Challenge is a personal one - to do it with all the limitations we have - most important of which is time. Congrats Bas - well done and a well written blog article.Ariel Jacalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420677267107227437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676983452144254088.post-80856350454645568202016-04-03T10:31:19.188+02:002016-04-03T10:31:19.188+02:00Hallo Bas, gefeliciteerd, mooie verbindingen en go...Hallo Bas, gefeliciteerd, mooie verbindingen en goede prestatie. Dit is het mooie van onze hobby, je kunt zoveel dingen doen. Ja, ik heb alle tijd om achter de set te zitten, gepensioneerd dus alle tijd. Toch doe ik dat niet. Er zijn zelfs dagen dat de set niet aan gaat. Voor mij is het verbindingen maken leuk om te doen. DX-en hoeft voor mij niet speciaal, wel leuk als ik er tegen aan loop, maar is niet mijn hoofddoel. Meestal QRP maar soms ook low power +/- 25 watt. Naast radio zijn er zoveel andere leuke dingen om te doen. Besteedt veel tijd met je YL en QRP (s) want het leven gaat soms zo hard voorbij. Geniet ervan zolang het kan.
