Saturday was way much better than Sunday, but we claim a new Finnish record in Multi-Two class.

Not much going on QSL-wise. I have been listening to files more than sending reports. And lately I have sent reception reports mostly to “difficult” stations (no f/ups lately). But still some QSLs have arrived:

The difficult station to hear, but now I have heard this a couple of times lately. Ionel Doxan replied to email quickly.
