@hamchallenge My usual setup involves a suitcase with 2 pcs 18Ah LFP4s in parallel, along with some 3D printed bulkhead connectors. The suitcase acts as a makeshift desk #HC36S. I don't operate much from home, so these 6 hours were my whole day of operating.
I was surprised only 3 DXpeds were active, but a fourth DX, the ITU HQ was lurking on 18MHz. #HC07S. Working 10+ DXCCs is rather easy in FT8 from Europe, when you're being chased in #pota #HC37S
Let's try a 10fer for @hamchallenge : :alex_crazy:
I went out today for POTA RO-0109 #HC29S in front of this communist mammoth #HC13S, operated all day on 36Ah #HC36S (ha!). I worked one DX, the ITU HQ, out of today's DXpeds PJ4M, VP8DPD and V73MT #HC07S, 14 DXCCs #HC37s, plus all xOTA #HC16S I heard. I had 20 contacts on CW #HC38S including @YO3AX and @G0TRT. I even heard F4JRC on 6m #HC28S. I fixed my audio card #HC45S and used the antenna I built with the YL #HC33S.
Details follow.
Just worked TX9A in Austral Islands (Gridsquare: BG56FP / distance: 16635.5 km) on 20m #hamr #wavelog #IOTA OC-152

@hamchallenge #HC07S I never did catch any of the DXpedition stations active this week actually on the air, but I tracked 10 of them to see when I would know they were on the air. V73WW was especially active this week. Hats off to the team for really working it.
I just sent out the DARC DX Newsletter / DX Mitteilungsblatt for this week. Being responsible for the technical side of the distribution (email list with 4k recipients), I also get to look over the contents of the newsletter, so #hamchallenge week 7 is done for me. I am not much of a DXer but from today's newsletter I learned that Alan, G4DJX will be on the air as C5DX again, from where I worked him previously on CW. Hope to work him again. #HC07S @hamchallenge
