Hi all, today I also received a nice QSL from Mathieu MJ0ASP, confirming our 2 QSOs on 12 & 80M CW (2 new bands ! ).
Jersey is now only needed on 10M for all bands !
Mathieu also put me a little word saying he's a reader of the blog () and announcing he'll be CN2MR from March 14th to 21st from Morocco, thanks ! (I will personally be in Corsica at this period as TK/F8DZY during 4 weeks, article to come soon...)

Hi all,
Today I received VP5/W5CW QSLs, confirming our 5 QSOs on 15-17-20-30-40M CW (3 new bands ! ).
I now just miss Turks & Caicos Islands on 12 & 80M for all bands...
Dave W5CW put me a little word saying he will enter the next 2011 WPX SSB Contest as VQ51V, so if you need VP5, it will be a good opportunity again !

Hey, yesterday end of afternoon, a very strong opening to West Indies & South America on 10M !
Turning the VFO when coming on 10M, I heard a KP4 calling in SSB while beamed on North... Turning my beam to West , I hear EA8OM booming 599+20dB here, a little hello to Heijo (our 6th QSO) and I start calling CQ on 28036MHz. PY4ZO/QRP (5W only) from Brazil answers me first, coming here 569 !
Then, turning to West Indies, it is 8P6BX (20W) who answers me, 579 both ways... it is a new band for Barbados here !
Looking at the cluster, Jules FG4NN is spotted on 28430MHz, need FG on 10M so I QSY... quickly EU pile-up and thanks to F8AOF Jérôme who heard me calling Jules and told him, I could have my 3rd QSO with FG4NN, another new band (still need 30M & 12M for all bands with Guadeloupe)...
A good convivial QSO then with F8AOF, and it's time for me to go QRT, the opening stayed for 30 minutes more then closed...

Hi all,
Not QRV all the week-end, I could work almost 18h in the SSB contest...
Here's my modest SSB score for this year :
I could work all but one (still my neighbour department 46 ! ) of my missing DDFMs on 40M SSB ! The 2B - 09 - 48 - 69 - 70 - 82 & 90 are finally in log for the "DDFM 40M SSB Excellence"...
On 80M SSB, it is +9 new DDFMs, I still need 7 departments on the 96 on this band mode...
On 20M SSB, it is +11 new DDFMs...
On 15M SSb, it is +17 new DDFMs...
On 10M SSB, it is +8 new DDFMs...
Not so bad with 80W in SSB into my old TH3MKIII
An excellent opening to JA, VK, FK (FK8HA on 20M SSB new band mode ! ) the Sunday morning & to the West Indies + NA the afternoon decorated the contest on 15 & 20M.
Well, a good week-end contest "for the fun of it" here...
Thanks to all for calling ! CUAGN.
