Hi, many new bands thanks to TX7M QRV from Marquesas Islands (only confirmed here on 20M SSB with FO/F6CTL in June 2006 !)...
These QSOs were done on October 28th & 29th. Due to the CQWW SSB, their activity is concentrated on WARC bands this week-end, so I think I won't be able to add another new slot... Thanks guys for great DX-pedition !

Hi all, after one week away for my job, I came back home yesterday Friday, and could start to chase TU2T DX-pedition...
9 QSOs were done on the first day, including 2 on 6M CW + SSB !
These guys are really doing a nice job, always coming here with nice sigs. The online log "on live" is really appreciated too : don't need to wait updates in order to know if you were correctly logged... really impressive stuff !
I have to move again all next week for job, I will try to do some new band slots till there (20-30-80M), and finish the chase at my return ! Good luck to all !

Hi, thanks to PJ4LS who uploaded his log on Logbook of the World, my LotW DXCC number is now 233...
I am still waiting for the upload & validation of many QSLs checked by Gérard F2VX, but I was sure it would be long before it is updated, patience...

Hi, one of my last target was done yesterday evening with 10M SSB !
I wasn't on air all over the week-end, when yesterday evening I had a look on my phone cluster : a G station spotted T32C on 10M SSB but 10 minutes ago... nothing more then... hmm, don't seem a big opening, maybe again a "UK only" ?
Curious, I switched on the radio and could clearly listen to them calling split down ! They answer to a F6 that I can hear in the split, 2 calls and in the log !!
Ouf ! I think I have been lucky with this opening : many other F never heard them yesterday ! (GL guys !!)
Later, they were very strong on 17M RTTY here, I even never tried till there to work them on digital so I decided to give a try : one call up 4.5kHz and in the log !!
There are some days like this one everything seems easy...

Hi all, this morning I could work a new IOTA thanks to JH6TYD on 12M CW QRV from Goto Islands IOTA AS-040 !
This is my worked IOTA # 347...

Hi, yesterday I finally worked T32C on 20M SSB into a still very large pile-up , bringing my total QSO number with them to 11... Not so bad for a barefoot station !
Last target would be 10M SSB and 80M CW, but on this band, when they're not operating SSB first, then conditions are not here, and if they're QRV CW, they always have a break before our sunrise... When they come back on 80M CW, conditions are down. No chance for West EU, except for UK ("UK only, UK only..." ).
Good luck to all !
