QSL from Station QRP

QSL received from low power Dutch station, Station QRP, using just 8 watts. In his reply he said: "QRP is all about propagation, timing and antenna basics. In comparison to Dutch powerhouses I find it very challenging to reach as far as possible. Plus I live in a highly populated area so I must be very careful not causing interference…" Thanks for the QSL.

QSLs from Hitmix Radio and Radio Felix

Two new QSLs arrived today. One from German station Hitmix and the other from a new station heard for the first time this weekend, Radio Felix.

In an email, Radio Felix said he operated last in the early 1990s. In those days he used the name Lowland, but he added he is nothing to do with the current Radio Lowland. He was using 10 watts.

Thanks for the QSLs.
