We spent first two weeks of the April in Russia, visiting my parents in my hometown Pskov. This trip became very exciting for my daughter, who has met her grandparents living in Russia in person for the first time. She also observed the life in different country with a great interest. And yes, she speaks Russian freely without an accent (same about English), so there were no language barriers.

I’ve finally got all US states worked on 160M! Actually I worked Hawaii, the last one I needed, back in January during CQ WW CW 160M contest. I woke up in the middle of the night, and worked KH7Y. I could barely hear him, but I was 99% sure we got QSO completed. Unfortunately Fred has not uploaded his log to LoTW yet, so there was still 1% chance left, that he does not have me there.

With my original dipole, there was no way I could work on 160M. However my new sloper is supposed to work on this band. For the first I was very skeptical about it though. Still I was able to tune it for 160M, although in very narrow range.
