The mail came today and one of the QSL cards was from EA6AZ on the Balearic Islands. It’s the first QSL I have for that DXCC. Thanks Tano for the contact and sending a QSL back so quickly!

Also this morning I was able to make a quick QSO with VQ9JC on Chagos Island. Jim (ND9M) is there handing out lots of QSOs, which I had on 30m CW, to some pretty constant pileups.  I thought I had a good QSO yesterday but right when he was coming back to me, everything dropped. Seems to happen right when they are coming back to you after you hearing them fine for a long while. A K2 came back but that was it. I sent my call again and I got a K2 back again so I sent my report in hopes it was for me and he could still hear me. I followed up via email to see if he was able to log me and he quickly replied back that he didn’t have me in his logs but to try again.  When I saw him spotted again this morning I waited for his signal to build so I could hear him pretty consistently and after a couple of tries he came back. My QSL is going in the mail. So thanks Jim for the great work and stay safe!
