Once a Ham, Always a Ham...

In January of 2014, an old amateur friend offered me his HF rig/antenna and encouraged me to try the hobby again.
Only this time that I really had my FIRST TASTE OF DX...
and it was fun! I retook exam because license got expired for not renewing in 20+ years and amnesty to renew it was far more expensive. Luckily I passed at first retake.

     Since I became active on HF bands sometime 2014, the Worked WRTC Qualifying Regions Award also known as WWQR is one of the radio operating awards that I've been monitoring and working on. I am glad to have collected the 3 colors of WWQR (Black, Red and Yellow). QSOs made on the needed stations on certain qualifying regions finally uploaded their logs after 3 years and made me qualified to apply for the WWQR 2015(Black) recently.      http://wrtc2018.de/index.php/en/activities/wwqr-award     As of to date, I have 9 certificates/awards approved and collected. I can apply for more should more QSOs were confirmed and uploaded on the needed qualifying regions.
