Pleased to get through the pile up on Saturday afternoon with Stu (G5STU) who was operating with a special event callsign GB0ELF on 40m today. Quite a humble setup I was using, the radio was a small Xiegu X6100 QRP rig running 10 watts. Antenna was an Ampro 40 mounted on a mirror mount that I've got bolted to my balcony railing at my flat. Managed to get heard amongst the pile up he was working too! He was streaming it live on his YouTube channel also... but happy I got in the log and I got a nice little Christmas themed QSL card too for the collection
Happy days!

Well done Michael. A utube streamed pileup can be hard to break with a small station, but very satisfying when you do Your next level challenge is breaking into a utube streamed pileup by a YL... *putting on Han Solo voice* "Good luck, you're gonna need it"
A nice addition by Stu with the instant downloadable QSL cards for QSOs. I have embedded my Station Master log in my QRZ page now if anyone ever wants one from me. I will be pleased when he makes it more customizable though as a Christmas elf really doesn't suit me lol.
