Very excited to have made my second ever qso with the frozen continent. My first was to DP1POL using the JT9 digital mode as a freshly licensed extra just over three years ago. LOTW confirmed, this one brings my CW DXCC count to 95! I’m hoping to close in on the 100 mark as the ARRL DX CW confirmations keep trickling in. Thanks to CTRI members for all your support and encouragement with my CW. 73, Charlie K1ECU
Congratulations, Charlie! I found your web page via QRZ, which was an inspiration to me….learning CW right now, via LCWO.net. I also have a D-Star radio, Icom 880H and when I get around to diving in, I know I will have a lot of questions. 73

Cool one Charlie! 🙂 RI1ANL has been on 160m FT8 recently and last night was around -6 to -10db, which should be workable with 100 watts and would be an exotic one for topband. But CW still the best! 73, Dave K1SX
And in fact I was able to do it, around 6pm local today!
