📻 Why do we celebrate May 5th in China? 🇨🇳
In 1940, amidst the fire of WWII, Chinese hams held the 1st national convention "on-air" to support the resistance. 86 years later, the "5.5 Festival" remains a symbol of resilience & unity.

Weekend DX Wrap-up! 📡

Wavelog recap shows a solid session: Europe & Asia were wide open. Highlights? Bagging Antarctica (VKØDS) and Kiribati (T31TTT). 🇦🇶 🇰🇮
The magic of portable ops—never knowing where the next signal originates. The Americas remain a challenge from my QTH, but the chase is what makes it addictive. Constant refinement, constant discovery.

73 de BA8BLK 📻✨
