All these summaries have been generated based on information provided by the VQLog program.

Overall:

As I did in the past years, in 2008 I have concentrated my activity on the 2m band and specially in EME (Moonbounce). I'm very satisfied with the performance of the 8x17 2M5WL array and it's great to be able to work single-yagi-100w stations easily via the Moon, even on random, thanks to the JT65B digital mode. I have also made some QSO on 50 MHz by Sporadic-E, but I haven't been really very active on six. The HF antenna has definitively given up after almost 25 years of being up in the tower, so I haven't been on HF at all, and I have no plans of putting up any other HF antenna in the future. I have also made my first QSO on 4 m, but with a very small station only. My goals for this year were getting to 140 DXCC, 750 grid squares and 1200 EME initials on two meters, and all were almost achieved.

• 50 MHz.
  • 694 QSO
  • 236 squares (42 new, for a total count of 601)
  • 59 DXCC (10 new, for a total count of 145)
  • Best distance: 8490 Km. with K0GU in DN70MQ on 11/Jul/2008 at 16:54z
• 70 MHz.
  • 4 QSO
  • 4 squares (4 new, for a total count of 4)
  • 4 DXCC (4 new, for a total count of 4)
    
• 144 MHz.
  • 1269 QSO
  • 299 squares (50 new, for a total count of 757)
  • 73 DXCC (14 new, for a total count of 141)
  • 144 new EME initials (for a total count of 1195) (see complete EME log)
  • Best distance terrestrial: 2855 Km. with RZ6BU in KN84PV on 27/May/2008 at 15:38z
  • Best distance EME: 18766 Km. with ZL4DK in RE54EC on 8/Nov/2008 at 14:00z
