Here I will post some reports from my activities. Now I have a wireless broadband on the site, so I can make updates also during my stay on radio station.
14. Feb sunset till ZK2 sunrise
Walk again 5 km to listen band noise.
10. - 13. Feb local sunset till ZK2 sunrise
Listened many days for Niue. Worked on 20 and 80 m, but not a peep on 160. Monday I walk after work to radiostation and after walk home. Five km of excersise to get fit for summer :) Just need to do it more often... we'll see tomorrow.
31. Jan 03Z- 05Z
After all topband QSO in Malpelo web log. Listened skimmer recording and I doubled when HK0 confirm correct callsign. So will work them again next time.
30. Jan 03Z- sunrise
Wake up after contest for Malpelo. Called from 3 AM till sunrise, four hours. Closest one was being asked MFA and then LA7MFA, but never got confirmation. Someone said on DX freq that my QSO is OK, not in my log. Just tried to get through. Pileup is very wide, there Skimmer helps a lot. Some operator changes on th eisland, and quite slow rate. Maybe there is some noise problems on the site. We'll just keep trying, still some time left. Now winter holiday is over, so can't spend time on radio for so long in weekday mornings.This seems to be another tough one, on positive side is that I have been hearing DX well.
CQ WW 160 meters CW
Multi operator category with Jouni OH4KZM. Some nice DX heard and worked in contest. Tried also Malpelo during contest, but no joy. North America propagation was poor, only handful of stations worked. Nice to play with Skimmer and s&p that I did mostly.

Went to listen Malpelo again. Getting ready for CQ WW 160.
27. Jan 03Z- sunrise
Went to listen Malpelo again.
26. Jan 03Z- sunrise
Went to listen Malpelo again. They were on SSB, and no signal here. Later they go to CW, but again no copy. Heard OA4TT on 160, but have QSO before. Worked CP4BT on 80 m though. Called HC2/US-stn but no luck.
25. Jan 03Z – sunrise
Went to listen Malpelo again. Spent some time on other bands worked TN2T on 40 m. Tried HK0 on 80 m, but too wide pileup. Went back to topband and heard HK0NA. Before I could plan where to call, they QSYed to SSB. So no luck.

23. Jan 05Z - sunrise
