Yesterday's report from Panama. My personal record. It's never happened to me that someone could hear me so well from such a distance. Besides Panama that afternoon, I also logged the USA, Guatemala, Indonesia, and the Dodecanese Islands.

The photo features the legendary Yugoslav actor Bata Stojković in the comedy film Balkan Spy. For the scene from the movie, click on the link.
The nickname is from the Mad Max trilogy.

Today, I was really happy because I managed to get in touch with a friend who was driving a truck from Bosnia to Turkey. Besides that, I also managed to get in touch with Brazil, Saudi Arabia, the European part of Russia, Greece, and France. Some of the more interesting countries slipped away... Weekends are full of strong players in the game...
It was also interesting to see that one CT member from the 45th division is active (there are very few of them). I'll have to try to establish contact with him...

Nice one Dejan, being able to make contact with a mobile friend. Well done.
Here in my part of south west UK it's been pretty awesome too today. Apart from a bit of a solar storm dampening for a while this afternoon, there's been signals rolling in from almost every part of the world. Just as it should be at this point in the solar cycle.
Hope everyone who likes a bit of DX made the most of it today.

Today was interesting. I managed to add 11 Puerto Rico, 136 Martinique, 291 Dhekelia & Akrotiri, and 12 Uruguay to the log. Many don't have or don't want to exchange eQSLs. Some are simply lazy and don't want to log the contacts. I’m unable to get eQSLs from many exotic destinations. Today, for example, I only have eQSL from Uruguay...

Well done with your contacts there Dejan, impressive stuff.
I had similar frustrations with a lack of QSL confirmations on 11m and hence why I grabbed my ticket for Amateur Radio. Even then despite having both ARRL LoTW and QRZ accounts not everyone bothers to respond to a QSL request which is often nothing more than a click-of-a-mouse nowadays.
At least you know in both your heart and your logs that you achieve great DX contacts. The 'pictures-or-it-didn't-happen' nonsense should be left for the slow witted.
Again, impressive contacts you're making Dejan and testament to the fun that can be had with 11m.
All the best, Victor
