Let's try a 10fer for @hamchallenge : :alex_crazy:

I went out today for POTA RO-0109 in front of this communist mammoth , operated all day on 36Ah (ha!). I worked one DX, the ITU HQ, out of today's DXpeds PJ4M, VP8DPD and V73MT , 14 DXCCs , plus all xOTA I heard. I had 20 contacts on CW including @YO3AX and @G0TRT. I even heard F4JRC on 6m . I fixed my audio card and used the antenna I built with the YL .

Details follow.

@hamchallenge My usual setup involves a suitcase with 2 pcs 18Ah LFP4s in parallel, along with some 3D printed bulkhead connectors. The suitcase acts as a makeshift desk . I don't operate much from home, so these 6 hours were my whole day of operating.

I was surprised only 3 DXpeds were active, but a fourth DX, the ITU HQ was lurking on 18MHz. . Working 10+ DXCCs is rather easy in FT8 from Europe, when you're being chased in
