Hi all, a new short DX-pedition started with 3C6A from Equatorial Guinea... It's not a new one for me (3C7Y in October 2007), but only confirmed on 17M CW, so let's go for some new band slots !! Yesterday evening, they were on 30M CW with a big signal,...

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 all, two days ago, I just could add the 12M CW slot before leaving home. They were also on 40M CW but it was an incredible zoo... I will really never understand what kind of people can be so stupid to make deliberate QRM on DX QRG ! So I went QRT,...
