QSO - I can communicate with ____ direct (or relay through ____ ).  Can you communicate with ____ direct or by relay?

QSO (pronounced quesoe) is basically a contact through radio communications.  Many local clubs have QSO parties or QSO contests where you try to make as many contacts in a certain amount of time as possible.  Sometimes on a specific band, sometimes on many different bands.  Listed below is a list of my most recent QSO (contacts) made from either my base station (S - shack) or somewhere mobile (M).

Some ham radio operators use a logging program to keep a more accurate log.  I have tried several programs but currently use a program called Logger 32, written by Bob Furzer, K4CY.  It is a free program (although I am sure he would welcome support) for download and works well.  It it loaded with features for a free program and is easy to use.  I am having a little trouble getting the status of the satellites but that is a small issue for sure.  Coming soon I will just post an export of that file here if there are any interested parties.

There are several other programs available and I may post links to them here in the future.

I will also post a scan of the QSL Cards when I receive them over on the QSL page, so if you are interested in seeing some QSL cards, keep looking.

Recent QSO - I have heard many hams say if you don’t use it you loose it, so I try to make it a point to make at least one contact every day in some form or another. Right now, my contacts are through my 2 meter radio and Echolink, and a recent log is shown below.
