Faroe Island – OY2J – New DXCC Logged

Saw a spot on the DX Cluster on 20m CW for Vietnam so I tuned to it but didn’t hear anything. I then tuned down a little bit and hear a loud station coming in and it was OY2J on Faroe Island. I put out my call and Johan came right back to me. After a couple more calls he was spotted on the cluster and had a good pileup going. It’s nice to find a station “in the wild” and make an easy contact with them especially for a new DXCC.

Faroe Island is located between Iceland and the UK so it’s not a tough contact for me on the east coast but it’s the first time I think I’ve heard a station on from there. Maybe they are prepping for the CQ WW contest this coming weekend. Looks like I need to send direct for a QSL card so time to fill one out.

This is a nice start on Thanksgiving for me!
