    Made 4 QSL’s early this a.m. But since about 1400z I haven’t been able to add any more. Missing K2D, K2H, K2J for a clean sweep. Tough band conditions in 7 land this afternoon. I hear lots of 5’s, 8’s and 9’s just fine though. Wasn’t able to get GB or France the last two years and I suspect this year may turn out the same.

    Yeeha! Just got K2I on 40 CW, so now have a clean sweep on 40M, all modes!

    I finished up ssb last night and started CW. Up to 8 this morning but not sure I will get it done. The call signs I need are way too fast for me right now. Maybe later.

    Has GB13COL been on CW at all?

    According to the RBN, he was for about 1 hour on the 3rd.

    I've missed them for the 4th year in a row.

    Maybe next year they can get Sandy Jack G0VQW (a 100% cw operator to take care of the CW duties for them, so they'll have more time for FT8 and SSB.

    I don't think anyone at GB13COL knows CW. Only FT8 ops!

    I am sure they would have. They were pretty busy at the time and I did not want to get in the way. Every one I have worked this week has been great. I enjoy this event and appreciate all the effort that must go into it.

    Thanks K2I for last one on CW! SSB and CW complete.

    I don't blame him for not working much CW. Last year, on here, someone made fun of his CW for the entire world to see.

    Yes he heard you. You are in the log. You can check GB13COL's log via their QRZ page.

    Yes, I got them on day one three hours into the event on 20 CW. It pays to use the DX Cluster.

    Got him just as he signed on last night on USB 20 mts. No pile up. That was really nice!

    This is the first year I've chased them around...of course it's also the first time they've been on since I've been off the air the past 23 years :D

    I worked all 13 stations plus the three bonuses so I'll make the effort to collect the paper cards as it was a cool event. Some awesome pileups heard too...good stuff.

    :rolleyes: I worked them on 20 SSB so no, not only FT8.
