Hi, Yesterday evening, I was QRV especially on 40M CW with my HF3B vertical, the very bad WX and VERY VERY strong winds didn't allowed me to put the beam up and so, no radio all day long... I needed some QSOs ! And I was inspired, after my very first...
Hi all, Continuing a nice activity, another ALL TIME NEW ONE thanks to ZD9T Tristan Da Cunha Island IOTA AF-029, just worked on 15M CW up 4 ! This is my worked DXCC # 258 and my worked IOTA # 299 !! (My bet of reaching the 300 before the end of the year...
Hi all, this morning I could log Bernard F9IE, QRV from Philips Island in VK3 ! I remember some weeks ago he was looking for some GPS map programs when in France, and this morning I could work him from the other side of the Earth... HAM RADIO is FUN !...
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...
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...
Hi, all is in the title ! This morning, back from a night work, I switched on the station in order to find some DXs, and I was lucky with big signals again on 40M band, and 2 new band DXCCs thanks to Sal XE1IM from Mexico, and Peter ZS1JX from South Africa...
Hi, another DX-pedition started with PJ4C by F6KOP, the French is already running on almost all bands since yesterday evening ! This morning, I could easily log them on 80M (DXCC #99 on this band ! ), 40M CW (new band ! ) & 20M SSB in 20 minutes... Then...
Hi all, I really didn't have luck with 9M0L & 7O6T DX-peditions : I was always away from home for job missions during their dates !! One day QRV for 9M0L, and the last 2 days for 7O6T... Well, it was again sufficient for me to work another ALL TIME NEW...
Hi, yesterday was a RTTY day for me with 10M, 12M, 15M & 17M RTTY added !! I worked them on 12M SSB too... The good new is that my 160M CW QSO finally appeared (#21) so I didn't have to chase 7O6T again on the Top Band ! The bad new is that they didn't...
Hi, in parralel of 7O6T, there is also 6O0CW DX-Pedition from Somalia... Darko 6O3A (J28AA) already gave me a lot of CW band slots, I was just missing 30M & 80M CW for all bands, so I concentrated my chase on the missing slots : 10M, 12M & 17M SSB were...
Hi all, today I received E51M QSL in the mail ! It confirms our 6 QSOs on 10M to 30M CW + 17M SSB but not the 40M CW (a little word from DJ8NK saying they were not QRV when I logged them) so it was a pirate... I sure could have worked them for real if...
Hi, the Magic Band is sometimes quite open here in SW France, but the openings are very strange : sometimes listening to QRP beacons 579 and no human sigs on the band even when calling CQ, and sometimes it opens very strong in several directions but with...
Hi all, another great Summer DX thanks to Dale CE2/VE7SV (our 3rd QSO), worked this morning on 80M CW at my sunrise, but I was listening to him since 1 hour (waiting for Grey line effect ). It is a new zone and my worked DXCC #117 on 80M band... ...already...
Hi, thanks to Benoît FS/F8PDR (Saint-Martin) confirming our 17M RTTY QSO, I reached my 200th Confirmed DXCC on 17M band ! This QSL arrived in the Bureau QSLs of this month. At the same time, I just sent a 300 QSLs package to the Bureau... those of you...
Hi, during the past days on the Magic band, I could add 5 new ones thanks to LY2TA, T77C, SV9GPV, 4X4DK & FJ/W6JKV ! This brings my worked DXCC number to 61 on 50MHz... I could also work many new locators in Europe, filling some "holes" on the map : 230...
Hi all, yesterday evening 1930UTC, back from job, I switched on the station and could see a big opening on 6M to the north and NA... I couldn't stay a lot (QRL family) so I concentrated on the potential new ones : JW7QIA from Svalbard, TF8GX from Iceland...
Hi, today I received R1AND QSL confirming our 17M CW QSO (new confirmed band for Antarctica ! )... ...and YV5ZV QSL confirming our 12M SSB QSO (new confirmed band for Venezuela ! ) ! Venezuela is still needed on 80M for all bands... Maybe during next...

Hi all, finally a DX-Pedition to chase !! CY9M from St Paul Island really started today on 20M SSB... Some shots were done on 40M CW last night but mainly for testing I believe. So, today (at 1630UTC) I logged them on 20M SSB, 17M CW & 15M SSB, that's...
Hi, yesterday evening good opening on 12M & 10M (!)... The 17M band was wide open too. So 3 new QSOs were added with 12M CW (new band), 10M CW (new band) & 17M SSB (new slot). During the night, they were on 160M, spotted by some central EU stations, but...
Hi, finally the "good" log update ! My 20M CW QSO is not good, my 20M RTTY is OK (new mode !)(only 3 French stations logged in RTTY : F8DBF, F6AUS & me), and I have a 30M CW QSO for free (30M already confirmed here)... (F8DGY I believe ?) Today I re-worked...
Hi, I didn't planned to be at home 2 days earlier than previewed, so it was an interesting challenge to log a maximum of QSOs with TT8TT just before they go QRT : Chad is not a new one here but only worked on 17M CW + 20M CW & confirmed on 10M SSB + 15M...

Hi, this night I finally could add the 40M CW slot for a new band !! Awake again very early (0100UTC) because (thanks to) of my son, I could work them up 1 (!) on their beginning on this band... Yesterday evening, I missed them again on 6M : still no...
