On March 2nd & 3rd, I made a few contacts in the Int. DX Contest. I got a total of 43 contacts, with a total score of 3,870. I made contacts in a total of 22 different countries on 20, 40, & 80 meters. Nothing even close to “great”, but it was fun. Even though I had to work a shift while the contest was happening, I still feel pretty good about how I did.
I’ve already submitted my log, so now we just wait and see (for a while) where I show up. The results can take months.
One interesting thing that I found, today, was a contact that I made in Belize with Victor (V31VP). He records all of his QSOs, and they get uploaded. I typed my callsign into the tool that he has on his QRZ.com bio, and was able to listen. During the exchange, he asked me if I was able to do 80 meters (and I was), so we switched bands. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to make it work on 80m.
Here’s the audio:
