Returned from very hot summer holidays with radio activity in France, Portugal and Spain, it felt as a good moment to reflect CW Radio-activities. As 40m is my favourite band, I decided to start working on my second Aktio-40 award from DIG. I already have a completed (12 x >100 CW QSO) Aktio-40 Award, realised in 2011.<\/p>\n

See link:\u00a0https:\/\/diplom-interessen-gruppe.info\/dig-diplome\/actio-40\/<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Log requirements are: Callsign, Date, Time, Mode, name and QTH. For me of course CW-only!\u00a0For every realised month a sticker is available.\u00a0I started in august 2008 and it thus took me 3 years (34 months) and resulted in 1412 QSO\u2019s, 1161 unduped, 57 DXCC all on 40 meters. A great experience in CW!<\/p>\n

So, now ready for Award nr. 2!<\/p>\n

Started September 5th and working towards 100 QSO\u2019s as a minimum. You can find me around 7.024 or from now on also at the top-9 CW part (7.031 – 7.040) of the 40m band.<\/p>\n

The Top-9 CW part is because of Top 9 activity ICWC.\u00a0I hope CW lovers will join as we need more activity in the top 9kHz of our
\nbands or we might lose this part to the digital modes. It was already a AGCW topic for some time but as I noticed recently\u00a0 from NTC mailing list It was heard in the AGCW QTC of a new activity of the
\nInternational CW Council (ICWC):> https:\/\/internationalcwcouncil.org\/top9-activity\/<\/a>> Frequencies: Top 9 kHz of the CW segments.<\/p>\n

Everbody can Join and\u00a0Submissions and results can be found by clicking on Top9:> https:\/\/internationalcwcouncil.org\/<\/a>> You only need to count the QSO made in the upper 9kHz. (every 5 min QSO is 1 point)<\/p>\n

NTC meeting frequency on 40m is already in the upper CW segment 7.038 kHz. Well done!<\/p>\n

Results end of September:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 109 QSO\u2019s for Actio40 award, thus fairly compensating 6 dupes (but full & friendly qso\u2019s).\u00a0<\/li>\n
  2. 35 top-9 CW qso\u2019s, reported in the link mentioned above. Until sofar 19 entries for CW only, so we probably have to promote this. (2 x PA-entries, something extra to do for NTC?)<\/li>\n
  3. Extra catch of 4 SKCC QSO\u2019s on 40 meters, so sometimes I had to switch from Keyer to Bug.\u00a0<\/li>\n
  4. On the site of DIG I ordered a Paper CW Actio40 award (10\u20ac) and got in contact with the award manager DL8AB Marius, for first log upload.<\/li>\n
  5. Total of 24 DXCC.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To be continued in Oktober,\u00a0CU on 40m.\u00a0<\/p>\n
