Hi all,
Recently the Overblog platform completely changed : impossible to add more than 1 image, no more possibility to update the "right columns" where I put my stats, etc...
6 years on Overblog with +68500 visitors, including more or less forced publicity (by the way I could never get any € on anything *lol*), and from one day to the next, all is changed and no possibility to come back to the previous platform which was very correct (for me)... So, M. or Ms "Overblog", I'm sorry but I think you will loose a lot of your bloggers, starting with me !

Hi all,
Finally a new one this season on 6M !!! :D
D44TS Cape Verde coming here not too strong (445) but as no pile-up, one call was enough to work my 83rd DXCC on the Magic Band !
Who's next ?

Hi all, time flies and not a lot of things to log right now...
Today I worked RI0F from IOTA AS-062 South Kuril Islands on 15M CW... Two calls in the split and it was OK for my 448th worked IOTA ;)

Hi, good week-end with the REF CW Contest !
Always a big fun to chase all French Departments & DOM-TOM on all bands + being called when on "run" !
Here's my submitted score... As I tweeted it : "I did my best !"
Detailed multis by band :
- 80M :
- 40M :
- 20M :
- 15M :
- 10M :
Again great moments... being called by FG & FK on 40M when running is always pleasant !
A special thanks to FK8IK who called me on 40M, 20M, 15M & 10M ! FB

Everybody is welcome, enjoy !

Hi, 2 months without going to my Bureau QSL manager, some good ones were waiting for me !
Too long to list, so a photo will do more... Many new slots, especially on low bands, and some very old QSOs finally confirmed, as for an example ES7NY/2 EU-149 QSO of July 16th, 2004...

Hi, great 2014 beginning here : I just put up the antennas again today, and I was glad to listen to Carl ZS8C from Prince Edward & Marion Island on 15M SSB with a correct 5/6 report !!
Listening up 5 to 10, I got him after 5 tries, through the Eastern EU pile-up...
This is an ALL TIME NEW ONE for me, my 308th worked DXCC & my 446th worked IOTA !
