Hi, good week-end with the REF CW Contest !
Always a big fun to chase all French Departments & DOM-TOM on all bands + being called when on "run" !
Here's my submitted score... As I tweeted it : "I did my best !"
Detailed multis by band :
- 80M :
- 40M :
- 20M :
- 15M :
- 10M :
Again great moments... being called by FG & FK on 40M when running is always pleasant !
A special thanks to FK8IK who called me on 40M, 20M, 15M & 10M ! FB

Hi all,
I had some fun this week-end during the CQ WW SSB contest in chasing new band slots with "LotW users only" when I was at the shack... That is to say 2 hours on the whole week-end
The excellent propagation on 10M made me add 3 new ones (EY8MM, AH0BT, KG6DX) and 4 new band slot on this band (EX2B, HK1NA, 6Y9X, C5A)...
On 15M again AH0BT, 6Y9X plus AH2R and 9Y4W... (new slots)
On 20M AH2R & C5A for 2 another new band slots...
On 160M (yes, I did it ! ) 4 new ones with LN9Z, OT5A, PI4D & IZ0GIF...
Nothing new on 40M, nor on 80M as the vertical is tuned for CW portion only...
Thanks for the new band slots guys, hope you had fun !

Hi all, the REF CW 2012 contest results arrived !
Great one for me with my first participation in HP category, I finish 2nd !!
All my congratulations to my friend Yann F5UTN for his 1st place ! (be careful if I try SO2R a day Yann... )
Working this contest without any dipole for 80/40M was not good for the "multi" chase on these bands, but it has been corrected by the higher bands results thanks to the OB9-5 and the good short skip propagation during this week-end. A good total of "multis" and a poor reduction level => a great REF CW cup here !
MANY thanks to all of you who called me for the points... CU in end January 2013 !

A nice surprise in the mail : a 1st Place in the CQWW WPX 2011 when I was in Corsica !
Oh, nothing exceptional as I was probably the only TK station who made some QSOs during this contest, but it is always enjoyable to received such "paper"...
Thanks to the callers...

This week-end took place the French REF CW Cup...
Active during the complete authorized 28h as a Single Op, the high bands were very good (for F to F) compared to precedent years, thanks to all the participants, and don't forget to send your log, even for 1 or 2 QSOs at cdfcw@ref-union.org !

Hi, finally the 2011 REF CW & SSB contests' results arrived !
My objective was reached : to finish in the ten firsts in CW => for my second participation in the CW contest, I am 8th General for this year, and I am 3rd in Low Power category !
I was working with my old TH3MKIII on high bands, so now with the Optibeam I think I can do better again on 10-15-20M bands in next end January...
On the SSB part, I was QRV only some hours in order to give points for the department : only 72nd place General and 41st in Low Power category...
...but the objective for the department was reached, we finish FIRST on the CW part, and SECOND on the SSB part... we won the REF CUP this year ! Thanks to all and see you next year, well, in 2 months now !
REF CW 2011 DDFM :
REF SSB 2011 DDFM :
Congratulations to Yann F5UTN for winning the "Complete OM" category, to Gérard F6DYX for winning the LP category and to Frédo F4EMK for winning the QRP category !

Hi, I just made a 1h30 entrance in this contest because of QRL this week-end, but I really would have been able to be QRV more, a lot of stations QRV and strong ES !
Thanks to the 50 contesters contacted from JN04...

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.

Hi all,
Next Saturday & Sunday will take place the REF CUP SSB part !
I will try to do it seriously but will depend of "QRM family", anyway I will be present in order to give points... the occasion to hear ourselves (I'm not anymore an SSB addict since I felt in CW ).
Everybody is welcome of course, and maybe the opportunity to work my missing DDFMs on 40M SSB ?? (46, 48, 82 & 90 !!! I need you in 40M SSB !! ).
