Pskreporter and DX

Don't you just love PSKreporter, tells you all the DX you've missed while your out and about. Here's what my radio received today on Six. Best of the bunch A6VQ TY2AC AB1NJ. Oh well, most likely wouldn't have worked them anyway.

Amateur Radio

Amateur radio, commonly called “ham radio”, is a hobby enjoyed by many people throughout the world; about 3 million worldwide, 70,000 in Germany, 60,000 in the UK, 5,000 in Norway, 57,000 in Canada, and 700,000 in the USA.
A holder of an Amateur Radio license has studied and passed required tests in his or her country and been issued a call sign by its government. This call sign is unique to the operator and is often a source of pride. The holder of a call sign uses it on the air to legally identify all voice and data communications.
Amateur Radio should not be confused with CB radio which is limited to voice operation, allowed lower power limits, fewer frequency allocations, and is unlicensed in most countries.
