This is N6BDX's DXCC standings as of 0000UTC 4-DEC-2025, solely via LoTW and operations from Remote Ham Radio stations. I have finally earned the 5-band DXCC award, including the 30m/17m/12m endorsements.

Yesterday on 12-NOV-2025, I made some contacts via the auroral backscatter propagation on 50MHz/6m band using Morse Code from Remote Ham Radio W2/Summit station site in Schoharie County, NY, USA. You can listen to the MP3 sound recording here:

It's been a while.
N6BDX now has got the DXCC awards of Mixed, Digital, CW, 20m, and 30m. The power of the remote operation stations by Remote Ham Radio is simply incredible.

I really love this terse way to notify that the operator of ZS8W (in Marion Island, Prince Edward Islands, South Africa) is on the air (QRV stands for being active on the radio):

The DXCC/LoTW first application of N6BDX was approved by ARRL DXCC Desk around 16Z 31-DEC-2024. Eagerly looking forward to having another DXCC Mixed and Digital Award soon!

Operated HH2AA via RHR on 17m CW with 14 QSOs with Europe around 11Z today. The propagation was not bad but I needed to pick up the calling stations from a modest pileup! :)

6m/50MHz has been in a quite good propagation condition. I've made contacts in England from Maine and in Hokkaido, Japan, from Arizona!

Today, 29-OCT-2024, I proudly announce that N6BDX has achieved DXCC Mixed confirmation of 116 entities and DXCC Digital confirmation of 100 entities solely through the operations of Remote Ham Radio (RHR) from the 48 States of the USA. The award application to ARRL has been completed.

N6BDX from RHR W7/Tacoma worked E6SP from Niue on 30m FT8 Fox/Hound. E6SP has already confirmed the contact!

Operated KP4/N6BDX during 1140-1156UTC 6-APR-2024 on 17m CW. Some nasty QRM/interference was observed, but European ops picked my signal very well. Many thanks for the contacts!

Briefly operated KP4/N6BDX on 15m FT4 and CW. Signals from Europe were weak presumably due to the low sun spot number.

I operated KP4/N6BDX from 1045-1115UTC today, 24-MAR-2024, on 10m and 15m CW. The propagation from Puerto Rico to Europe was not strong or weak, but I made 24 contacts.

N6BDX and KP4/N6BDX have been occasionally operating on the air. I've discovered FT4 is well usable on the WebDX client too, and that is good for working more stations.

Operated KP4/N6BDX today on 19-MAR-2024 around 1200-1230UTC on 10m and 15m FT4. Made 19 contacts, mostly with European stations. Very good propagation from Puerto Rico to Europe!

On 10-FEB-2024 I operated HH2AA on 28.009MHz CW with a massive European pileup. 25 contacts in 23 minutes. Thanks for the contacts!

On 24-JAN-2024, I operated:
HH2AA on 28.007MHz CW unexpectedly terminated by malfunction of remote operation with two stations;
and KP4/N6BDX from RHR KP4/Palmas station on 24.892MHz CW, worked 11 stations in 10 minutes.
Many EU stations called me. Thanks for the contacts!

N6BDX will be on the air from approx. 1030UTC to 1100UTC today on 2-JAN-2024 at 7.011MHz CW from Remote Ham Radio W7/Tacoma station.

N6BDX went on the air at approx. 1030UTC to 1105UTC today on 29-DEC-2023 on 7.011MHz CW from Remote Ham Radio W7/Tacoma station. I had a hard time copying a very weak station from Japan and actually wasted 7 minutes before finally declaring NIL.
