Over 3000 QSO for just 1/5 days were made together with Oleg RV3DH. About 80% with RUssian stations (as planned).
On the second day, when the bands were opened slightly, reached up to 9 QSO rate per minute in the huge pile-up from Russia. It was a lot's of fun :)
Made several QSO via the satellites, as well as 80m QRPp (100 MW) by our third operator Serge F0EQE.

Transceiver: TenTec "Eagle" 100w. Antenna: Random wire on fishing pole with Z11 Pro ATU.

Worked today JX5O. Conditions on HF were terrible. Deep QSB and a lot's of noise. A Big Gun's CW pile-up from EU don't gave me any chance to call them. But, finally I got JX5O in SSB. Below is sample of JX5O's SSB signal on 20m. (5 or 3 minutes RS-55 and about 20 minutes - 52 or 51).

The DXCC rules are written in such a way that only a new country’s membership in the United...
