Following on yesterdays nice contacts resulting in 2 new ham radio DXCCs logged, I was able to work 5W0KH on RTTY today. I saw Karl (DL2FAG)  spotted on the cluster and fired up DM780 and after a few attempts was able to log him on his DXpedition to Samoa, an island a bit more then halfway between the west coast of the US and Austrlia and about 7,250 miles from me in NJ.

This was my first contact with a ham radio operator on Samoa so that makes 3 new DXCCs logged in the past 2 days. It’s probably all due to a lot of activity and testing of stations before the CQ WW contest gets underway in a couple of hours.

Thanks for a new one Karl – my QSL card is on its way to your home call.
