Thanks to the efforts of Ed N5EM and Mike WA5TWT I now have a station
on the air so that my one good hand can do some productive Ham radio
while the other one heals <hi,hi>.
I am new to DX though. My second contact on the rig was a puzzler for
me.
I made a very good (5-8) contact with a guy with a heavy spanish
accent. He identified as ED8MCC in the Las Palomas Lighthouse. After
the QSL I then went to QRZ.com and could find no listing for him. The
ITU listing doesn't seem to show an ED8, but Spain is shown as
EDA-EDZ.
An internet search for Las Palomas lighthouse was ambiguous, but there
is one in Puerto Rico.
I guess I could have mistaken an H or A as an 8, but I didn't find a
call listed that way either and I was pretty sure about the 8 and he
QSL'ed when I repeated it to him.
What can I do now and how do I QSL?
Thanks in advance,
Ron, AG5RS
