I need more practice in plain text copying. About a year ago I converted a few Czech textbooks to Morse and started to listen to it while driving a car or at evening when my wife is watching TV.

News:

Nick has been active for long time as 5N/LZ1QK, unfortunately he didn't have valid amateur radio licence for Nigeria and QSOs will not count for DXCC credit. But now Nick, LZ1QK has a new call - 5N3WQK which is valid. He is on the air almost every day, especially on 17m. QSL via LZ1CL.

From CWOPS list (posted by Mike, W0YR):

Yesterday, there was a huge eruption on the back side of the sun. Spaceweather.com estimates that the mass coronal ejection was of a magnitude of at least a billion tons. The attached movie shows the magnitude of this occurance. Notice, this is not an animation. It is a time-lapse video of the real thing. The sun's rotation will soon bring the region where the explosion occurred around towards Earth.

Yesterday, I got weighty package with new QSL cards designed and printed by Dan, OK1HRA. They are amazing! This QSL cards are the best I have ever had. Thank you Dan!

I woke up at 4am, prepared breakfast, my favourite green tea and started to hunt FOCers. It was great fun. Finally worked with 142 FOCers on all 6 bands.

Dneska ráno CQRLOG stáhl data z LoTW a objevilo se toto:

New QSOs confirmed by LoTW:
2009-02-25 K5D 80 CW
2009-02-25 K5D 40 CW
2009-02-23 K5D 30 CW
2009-02-14 K5D 20 CW
-----------------------------
Total: 4 new QSOs

Skvělé! Už se těším na papírové.

V termínu od 31. října do 15. listopadu má být na pásmu expedice XR0Y, která vysílá z Velikonočního ostrova.

Expedice se účastní tito operátoři: SQ8X Stan (strůjce expedice), SV2KBS Victoria, NI1L Leszek, Marco CE6TBN, PA3C Aart a SP7HOV Zbig. Protože na 30m je ostrov v EU velmi žádaný, jsou nejvíce aktivní právě na tomto pásmu. Expedice se od samé začátku potýká s problémy s dodávkou elektrického proudu.

Expedice má velice pěkné stránky, které určitě stojí za návštěvu. Novinky se také objevují na jejich profilu na Twitteru.

QSL můžete poslat via burea na SQ8X nebo direct na Stan, P.O.Box 8, 38-600 Lesko, POLAND. Přiložte minimálně 2USD nebo nový IRC (tedy ne IRC s platností do konce tohoto roku). Více informací se dozvíte na stránce expedice. 

Log expedice najdete na http://www.clublog.org/charts/?c=XR0Y.

Musím se pochlubit, že se mi expedici dneska ráno povedlo ulovit. Volal jsem ji snad od 06:30 našeho času. Byla na 10120 kHz, UP 2-3. V 06:50 se QSO povedlo (10122.4). Pobral nejprve jen OK2C a po několikátém zopakování nakonec komplet značku. Zřejmě tam má velké rušení, protože intervaly mezi jednotlivými QSO jsou docela dlouhé.

News:

• library libstdc++5 included into program installation
• after saving QSO station appears in bandmap (it must be set in Preferences)
• name is now capitalized also when you enter the 'Name' field

• option 'Refresh Data after Save QSO' didn't work - fixed
• if a non-default profile selected, after saving a QSO the profile turned to default - fixed
• access violation after clicking to 'New QSO' in QSO list window and pressing ESC - fixed
• autobackup didn't save last QSO - fixed
• if 'Show only QSO since XX' enabled, autobackup saved only these QSOs - fixed

Už v pátek večer jsme přemýšleli kam v sobotu vyrazit na kopec. Slibovali jeden z posledních pěkných dní, bylo by škoda toho nevyužít.
