eQSLs from Toscane and Andorra

IK5ZUL, Giancarlo, confirmed our 4m QSO  made July 2012:

Another remarkable QSO confirmation was sent by Archie, C31BO. It concerns an old QSO from July 2006. The QTH, Andorra, makes this card valuable to me.

Old railway bridge over the river Lek in Culemborg. Picture from the early 1970's with 1200 series NS locomotive. For a long time this bridge was the longest in Europe. I lived in Culemborg from 1966 till 1986.

JT beaconing on HF

JT65 is an excellent mode for QRP experiments on HF. This weekend I did some short trials with this mode on 5.35 MHz with my "MARS"-modified FT450.

My 5 Watt JT65 beacon signals were captured by the PSK reporter website:

And.. heard by DP1POL, Antartica, distance 13.687 km with 5 Watts on 14 MHz:

Results of JT9 beaconing (14.078 MHz) during 1 hour on 20 m, January 3-2016,  were not too bad:
