2K QSOs exceeded

Yesterday, I exceeded 2,000 QSOs in my log. Propagation isn't ideal, especially towards Western Europe. Very few F and G worked. The relatively low local noise level is a consolation, making SSB work quite well. After two days of a completely dead 50 MHz band, the long-awaited opening of the band to Japan arrived. I made over 150 QSOs in one evening. Unfortunately, problems with the software installed on my FT-857 prevented simultaneous use of two transceivers. So, an evening spent on 6m meant I was away from HF. Today is Sunday and the halfway point of my mini-expedition; we'll see what the day brings.
