After touring and living in the UK and Europe for the past 7 months the wife and I are back in Brisbane, QLD Australia :)
Having a look around some Shortwave and online HF rig web sites and forum after a long period of non-radio time, I stumbled onto the website and tool called "Hamsphere". This tool allows you to operator a virtual HF transceiver over the internet.
Creating my Hamsphere call sign "43HS626" and downloading the application I firstly eased my way into to it and sandbagging on a few frequencies / conversation between other members and actual Ham operators. I was hooked, and it gave me a buzz.
Just a moment ago I made my first Hamsphere QSL with "RW6XT" operator "Victor" located southern part of Russia. After a brief exchange of Signal and weather report we parted. I was pumped / hyped. Having just talked with a bloke in Russia, in albeit simulated HF radio conditions over the internet was bloody fantastic.
Cheers All, Hope to post more HF and shortwave scan / blogs as I get my antenna up and settled back in Oz.
