FT5GA on 15M & 17M CW !!!!!!

You-houuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu !!!!!!!!!
Fantastic (last for me) day with 2 QSOs in 30 minutes with FT5GA on 15M CW (finally I worked them on 15 !! Even if very weak... New band of course ) and on 17M through a mixed pile-up of EU & NA, I noticed most EU were up 1-3.5 khz while NA were up 5 khz, so there was a "free" space for me on up 4, huh ? That's were I worked them "F8DZY F8DZY 599"

Now FT5GA is over, MANY MANY thanks to the operators who permitted to give to a lot of us a NEW ONE !
My first objective was to contact them at least ONE time, when the expedition started, I thought it would be very hard with my 100W / vertical AND lids/idiots/QRMers on frequency, but luckily I had a long free time and could be QRV many days (afternoons), the mornings they were not audible here, and the evenings were with family HI. So a final score of 7 bands sloths with my working conditions seems really fine and makes me really VERY happy !
It is for sure not the "best" (QRX seems QRT for hours, very few hot news on their website, etc...) but remember also it was not an "easy DX-Pedition in luxury hostels", operators had to work also as militaries during their stay, only one generator on Gloriosos, etc... So come back safe in France now guys, thank you again... and have a rest !
