Yes !!! Finally a CW QSO with FT5GA, and it is on 12M band !! I thought it would be the hardest band to catch them with the 10M but no . Only 10 minutes calling them and they heard me in a small split (+ 1.5KHz), so maybe not many takers at this time...

That's it ! FT5GA is officially over ! The online log is updated and all my 7 QSOs are ok ! Still surprised about this score with a simple vertical ITA-OTURA (7.60m) on the ground and my 100W... What would have been my band slots number with a beam, vertical...
Done ! My first contact with TY1MS expedition in Benin ! A little pile-up, worked up 2 without any difficulty... I also called them on 15M SSB but no success for the moment... so wait and see ! I only confirmed Benin on 20M SSB & CW, so I will look for...

Hi, today in the mail box I found a QSL from Bob MD0CCE, confirming our 2 last QSOs on 15M & 12M CW. They were my 2 last missing bands in CW : Isle of Man is now confirmed on 10 to 80M CW !! Thanks a lot. I now only miss MD on 12M & 80M SSB in order to...
Today I received VR2O/P QSL in my mail box, confirming our 20M SSB QSO (new confirmed band ! ). Unfortunately, their QSO label doesn't mention IOTA AS-006 as wroten on the back so it is not actually valid for IOTA... I sent an e-mail, wait and see ! Add-on...

Yesss ! An all time new one today !!! YS1/HB9KNA from El Salvador ! Markus was calling LP to Europe and I was surprised only a few takers to his several calls !! Coming here 3/3 to 5/6, he answered me to my 3rd call and gave a 4/4 report, not so bad in...
Hi all, I was right to be QRV early this morning and no need to turn the VFO !! My ICOM 7600 was on 7.001 MHz when I switched on, and I just listen to a CW QSO in french but sigs are very poor... strange... Curious, I listen more & realize the QSO is...
