First Worked All Zones (WAZ) – 160 meters from Iceland

TF4M — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:09:56 +0000

update March 15th 2010: I have been awarded certificate number 342 for the 160 Meter WAZ award.

The certificate will be endorsed with this statement: ” 1^st 160 WAZ from Iceland “.

To give an idea of the difficulty of this award, the 5 band WAZ Certificate has been awarded to 1674 stations (80m,40m,20m,15m,10m) and only 806 stations have worked all 200 zones.

———————————————————————————————————————————

I have applied for the Worked All Zones Award for 160 meters. This is one of the oldest and most prestigious award in Amateur Radio – having its start before WWII, and 160m is the most difficult band to accomplish the award on.

Only 335 stations have qualified for the basic award and only 143 stations worldwide have accomplished contacts with all zones on 160 meters.

I applied for the basic award (30 Zones) with an endorsement for 36 Zones confirmed.

Since I applied for the award, I have received the QSL card from XE2WWW (Zone 6) and I have requested QSL cards from several stations in Zone 9 bringing the total number of Zones worked on 160 meters to 38.

I am still missing Zones 2 and 37, which should be fairly “easy” to work once there is activity from these areas.

This is the first WAZ 160 issued to a TF station.

TF4M QRPp

TF4M — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 23:15:14 +0000

Coming into the shack, I heard LA3XI call CQ on 1821.5 and since the amplifier was off, I decided to give him a call with the K3 cranked down to 0.1W (100mW !) and he came right back with a 559 signal report.

I don´t know how accurate the built-in power meter of the K3 transceiver is, but it is clear that the Arctic King works well.

I looked outside and there is a full moon and light visible Aurora to the North.

I am not generally interested in QRP and even less in milli-watt power levels, but I am amazed by this.

A minute later, I tried this with an OZ station calling CQ, he got my call as TF3M and gave me a 579, but refused to acknowledge a correction of my call even when I called him with a KW. Sorry OM, this QSO was not logged.
