KL7RA and 6Y1V QSL cards

Here we have a few interesting cards received this week for contacts in the CQWW CW contest in November (6Y1V) and the CQWW WPX CW contest back in May (KL7RA). Both of these are in response to direct QSL requests.

Alaska (KL7RA) was an all time new one for me at the time so it’s nice to get that confirmed for number 153 (of 170) confirmed by paper QSL.

6Y1V (on 40m) was a highlight on the recent CQWW contest and I had a pretty quick response via the QSL manager in Finland (Kari, OH3RB) which was nice. The card also confirms a 20m and a 40m contact from the WPX CW contest in May.

In other news, SpaceWeather.com reports that sunspot 1035, having burst onto the scene 3 days ago, continues to grow and is crackling with C-class solar flares with a chance of M-class flares.
