Quartz Hill in its short life from 1997 to 2007made a big impression in international amateur radio operations. Many radio amateurs from overseas made efforts to visit the station, http://www.zl6qh.com/000163.html.
Articles about Quartz Hill have appeared in overseas publications, QST from the United States and the Japanese CQ Magazine as well as a Japanese language shortwave listeners' magazine.
After a visit to the site, the design of the Quartz Hill antennas inspired Icelander Thor Stefansson TF4M http://www.tf4m to erect an antenna farm on his property in a remote part of Iceland.
Operations of ZL6QH resulted in 171,132 QSOs for which we received and responded to over 36,300 cards. The breakdown of these QSOs into separate amateur countries/identities is shown below. All of our QSOs have been recorded on the ARRL “Logbook of the World” and on the electronic QSL recording site eQSL.con
