20260120 eQSL & More ? ...

 

20260124 eQSL & More ? ...



Hello All!!

This time, I talk about electronic QSL cards.


- eQSLs -



If, without him, 

My amateur radio activities would have been small and short-lived.

He always called me when he found my weak signals, and he introduced me to Dxers all over the world.


It was also thanks to him that I got an award in the ROS mode.

... Hard to say...

Thank you so much Victor san  .    I am truly grateful... 73 : )



One day, TL3VLM Victor san adviced to me ... soon One Dxer Came to here(ROS) ..

Waoooo .. 9H1D TOBISCH san...Of cause I sucsessed QSO.

He was very kindly and send to me his eQSL. 

Many many thanks.. Cu Agn TOBISCH san  73 : )



Hi Jean san .. How are you?  I hope to see you agin any degi-mode .. 73 :)


The ROS mode allows text chat (regardless of whether a QSO was established or not).
Even when the signal quality was poor and a QSO was not possible, I was able to chat, so we promised to try again at a later date. 
Although I had a few failed attempts, I think I was able to make QSOs with most DX stations.

Compared to FT8, I think I was able to have more intimate QSOs in the areas where chat was possible. 

I had fun every night during the season.




For me, it's very difficult to make QSOs with the Caribbean region.

But I was lucky enough to make a QSO with him.

Before FT8, ....PSK was the mainstream digital mode.


A lot of station used PSKs .... exsample ZD7VC(Bruce san).





Nepal is a relatively close region to Japan.

However, QSOs are difficult because there are few active stations 

and the radio propagation conditions seem unfavorable.

Here too, PSK proved useful.



I also occasionally used RTTY.
It requires a large power.
This is obvious when compared to low-power communications like FT8.
But I gave it a try.
Although I didn't manage to score as many QSOs as I did with PSK, I did manage to score with an unexpected DX station.
That was him.
This was probably just good timing, but it's a precious QSO for me. 
I remember being so excited when I finally managed to succeed, despite being annoyed by the garbled text caused by QSB.
It was a great moment for me.
This excitement is the best part of amateur radio.
Many Thanks RTTY QSO .. 
You have given me the greatest excitement and happiness.73 : )



When you think of amateur radio stations in Gabon, you think of him.

I'm sure stations all over the world followed his signals and asked for QSLs.

I've also been able to make QSOs on everything from SSB to FT8, mostly on 20M.

I'm just so grateful ....Now I can see any band & mode .. See ya ALAIN san 73 : ).




eQSL ... last station is him (TG9AHM).

The only one from Guatemala is TG9AHM.

I recently received other stations via FT8, but unfortunately. 

I wasn't able to make a QSO because of QRM and QSB.

The only proof I have of my QSO with him is eQSL, and I have not yet obtained a LotW or Paper QSL.

It was 13 years ago, so it may be difficult to obtain a QSL, but I will get it a try.

If .. if ..  Emmanuel san reading here, Please send to me a Paper QSL card.  : ) 73


Now I got many many eQSL...

There are many memorial QSLs for me.

Many Thanks ... All of staions...ARIGATOU!!!
