Cyprus CW contacts. Report

It was a pleasure to copy so many stations as 5B/G0OOO last Thursday and Friday, Conditions were excellent on 20m and I was particularly pleased to be contacted by very many QRP stations and about a dozen CW QRS ops, at around 10wpm.

My apologies if I did not managed to hear your calls. UA stations were very strong in Cyprus and it was exhilarating to be called by JA’s, W’s and the occasional 7Z station.

I did “stop the traffic” to call for QRS stations at intervals and managed to get the pile up down to noise level before I had to depart on Friday afternoon.

With many hundreds of QSO’s in the log I will be having special QSL cards printed. These will be ready in a few weeks time and dispatched via the Buro unless I receive a direct card in the meantime.

Tnx for the contact Roy. 5B was a new one for me in CW and the G0OOO WAB book in 5B was also a new DXCC.

Very thrilled to work you with my 10W into an HF6V vertical. QSL has been send via bureau.

In reply to DF2GN :

OK Klaus. Yes, I think that it is very encouraging to new QRS CW ops to have an overseas station especially looking for them.

I have already received a few dozen direct QSL cards from slow CW ops who contacted me as 5B/G0OOO and who were very pleased to make their first DX CW contact.
