President KF5EJX and rusty sidekick K5WW contacted several new countries in the CQ WW WPX SSB contest a few weeks ago<\/a>. And the fruits of all that hard work are starting to roll in!<\/p>\n

First of all: thanks to the power of the Logbook of The World soon after the contest we got several new countries confirmed:<\/p>\n

\"KN5S<\/a>

CARC DXCC standings as of April 12, 2014<\/p><\/div>\n

As you know we already had quite a few; but this latest contest added a whole lot of them in SSB. And 10 meters was in such fantastic shape that one single contest actually produced more countries on it than all other contests combined!<\/p>\n

But we also received a few new paper QSL cards! One of those came straight from the (US) Virgin Islands.<\/p>\n

\"KP2RUM\"<\/a>

Thanks Fred K9VV\/NP2X for paying for the stamp \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n

The second one came out of North Dakota, with a little bit of a detour through Houston:<\/p>\n

\"KC0W<\/a><\/p>\n

\"KC0W<\/a>

Thanks Tom KC0W and mister Lowrent W0MM \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n

And with that we have our 50th state confirmed on 20 meters!<\/p>\n

\"KN5S<\/a>

CARC WAS total as of April 12, 2014<\/p><\/div>\n

And look: now we even have all 50 states confirmed on 5 bands, and almost<\/em> in SSB! So many awards, so little time \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone for your help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
