eQSL Oceania 10 Award

Some new awards have been added to the eQSL awards, and managed to qualify for one of them, the eOceania award. This is available for working 10, 15, 20 etc up to 60 countries in the Oceania region. I have 13 countries confirmed so far.

eQSL eJapan Award

When eQSL added an eJapan award, for working all 10 Japanese call areas, I found I was missing just the JA0 call area to complete it. Recently on 40 m JT65 mode I managed to spot JA0XII Kiichiro and worked him, getting the final eQSL needed for the award.

Some of the other contacts I have confirmed. JA1, fairly common

JA2, also fairly easy

JA3, fairly common

JA4 not that common

JA5 I found quite rare with only 2 contacts comfirmed.

JA6, not hard to find

JA7, fairly easy to find

JA8. Fairly rare with only 3 confirmed contacts. I made this one portable doing SOTA.

JA9, rare only 2 contacts comfirmed

The eQSL eJapan Award

eQSL eJapan Award, almost...

Noticed on the eQSL Awards page a new Award, eJapan, for contacting 10 Japanese prefixes.

Notice I need 1 more to go...

A check of the Prefixes confirmed shows I still need JA0 to have JA0-JA9 confirmed

Also only have just 1 JA5 and 1 JA8 contact... Will need to look out for JA0 type prefixes to complete this award.
