This is a QSL card from S52DD station from Slovenia.
I had a QSO with S52DD on Jan. 23, 2010 on the band of 40m SSB. When I searched for European station on 40m band I found S52DD sending CQ with a beautiful signal. He replied to me quickly.
These two children are S52DD's?? They are very cute!!
Slovenia is also the same former Yugoslav republic as Croatia which was independent of Yugoslavia in 1991 at the same time as Croatia. Slovenian stations are very active and we have always chance to have a QSO in Japan.
Hvala Ljepa za FB QSL!

9A5W from Croatia, Hvala Ljepa!
This is a QSL card from 9A5W station from Croatia.
I had a QSO with 9A5W on Jan. 24, 2010 in the BARTG Sprint Contest on the band of 40m RTTY.
This is the second confirmed Croatian stations. The previous confirmation was for a QSO on 17m band SSB.
An emblem which is designed on the center of QSL card is called "Shahobnica". It is also designed on the center of Croatian national flag as red-white lattice pattern. Maybe you will remember the football uniform of Croatian national team. Shahobnica is the national symbol of Croatia, which is used for a long history.
Shahobnica was banned to use during the time of the former Yugoslavia because this is the nationalistic symbol. After Croatia was independent of the former Yugoslavia in 1991, this emblem showed up again officially.

W6AFA from CA, USA, Bolishoe Spasibo!
This is a QSL card from W6AFA station from California, USA.
I had a QSO with W6AFA on Nov. 14, 2009 in the JIDX Contest on the band of 15m.
His card design is a view of Los Angeles. When I see his picture, I thought it is very similar with a view of Osaka!!
Maybe you will be surprised and thought why why when you read the Russian phrase "bolishoe Spasibo!" to the US station.
W6AFA is an immigrant from Belarus and he has the citizenship of the US. I send him my QSL card with a short letter in Russian. He wrote to me "Spasibo" on the card.

EB5BBM/BY7PP from Spain, Muchas Gracias!
This is a QSL card from EB5BBM/BY7PP station from Spain.
I had a QSO with EB5BBM/BY7PP on Jan. 24, 2010 on the band of 15m.
As you understand from his callsign, he operated in China which he visited for his business. Because non-Chinese operator cannot operate individual station under the Chinese law, he operated as a guest operator of a club station BY7PP in Foshan City.
I caught his wave with mobile whip antenna. We can have QSO with neighbouring stations with such a small and poor facility.
Muchas Gracias FB QSL!

CQ WPX RTTY CONTEST Participation Report
I participated CQ WPX RTTY CONTEST last Saturday and Sunday as JO3PSJ/3 in Inami Town, Hyogo, JAPAN.
My individual result was totally 177 QSOs. I'm afraid that it will be bottom class but I'm very sartified with it.
The number of QSO entities was totally 41. Of them the first emtities were 13,--G, EA, OH, EU, YO, ES, LY, YU, Z3, 4O, EY, TA, XE. I missed WAJA because I couldn't catch African stations but I finally had QSOs with YU(Serbia) and YO(Romania) which I always couldn't have QSOs in the previous contests.
My antennas were Inverted V dipole for 40m, Rotary V dipole RDE-15 by Radix and handmade Hentenna for 15m and handmade Hentenna for 10m.
To my surprise, I could have QSOs with many European and American stations on 15m and 10m bands in spite of off season. Recently I heard that the SSN(Sun Spot Number) is increasing and European and American stations show up. I must prepare for antennas at home.
The next contests which I will participate are Russian PSK(27 and 28 Feb.), Russian DX(20 and 21 March) and CQ WPX SSB(27 and 28 March).
CQ WPX RTTY CONTEST was very useful for researching participation of Russian stations and condition of high bands.
Every contesters all over the world, TNX FR FB QSO!
