THE HAMRADIO DOT COM

After the last post I found Mayotte 1458 from our Aihkiniemi files. By my suprise they also verified my email quickly giving me a new country confirmation. Also I’ve got more QSLs for 2014 FM f/ups. And even new season started on FM. I heard few new stations both on 14th and 15th of May.

The MW season 2013-2014 “officially” ended last week. I collected some highlights what I heard between August 2013 and May 2014. I recorded MW band almost every night. I only lost maybe 4 or 5 nights becuase of techinical problems (unfortunately missed few good openings too!).
