Hi all, Thanks to T88ZO Palau who uploaded his log on LotW, my confirmed LotW DXCC number now reaches 273 (on 276 worked with the recent deletion of Malyj Vysotskij Island (RI1MV) ). And this is an ALL TIME NEW ONE confirmed, my confirmed DXCC #278......
We are lucky in this new year beginning !! So many DX-peditions at the same time ! I only confirmed Congo on 10M SSB thanks to Nicolas TN5SN, so it is a very interesting one for me too ! Actually, I worked them on 10M CW, 12M CW + SSB, 15M CW + SSB, 17M...
Hi all, actually in Bordeaux area for my job, I visited Gérard F2VX, in order to check a lot of QSLs for many DXCCs. A very pleasant moment, but too short, of course ! I could get SV8/F2VX QSL from IOTA EU-052, nothing new here but the pleasure to have...
Hi all, from March 16th to 22nd, T2GM is QRV from Tuvalu IOTA OC-015 ! This morning, they had a decent signal on 20M CW, not too strong when I worked them, but sufficient to be worked as an ALL TIME NEW ONE here !! My 301st DXCC & my 421st worked IOTA...
When a journey starts well in radio, it often continues 15 minutes after my 2 new ones on 80M, it's simply an ALL TIME NEW ONE now worked thanks to ZK3T from Tokelau !! Working on 20M CW with a serious split +1 to +4kHz, Dieter (DJ2EH - ZK3T) answered...
Hi, no radio this week-end, anyway too many people on the bands so today my HK0NA chase started again... First, my 4 previous QSOs are in their online log, good new... Second, well it is a good afternoon : at this time 1500UTC, I could work them today...
Hi, back from another job mission in Paris, today I found -as X'Mas gift- in my mailbox T30PY (IOTA OC-017) QSL ! It confirms our 7 QSOs on 10M CW, 17M CW + SSB, 20M CW + SSB + RTTY & 30M CW... Another ALL TIME NEW ONE now confirmed, my 296th DXCC on...
Wow ! I have been lucky this morning to get them on 30M CW, because 12M was too weak and QSB here later, plus BD1EFO calling on the same QRG, it was definitively impossible from SW France... I thought I could get them on 20M, 17M or 15M, but they never...
Hi, today was the very last day of 4U1WRC (special callsign), I had fun in looking for them from time to time, and I have to admit I liked it : ITU HQ was only confirmed on 17M SSB, 40M SSB + CW & 80M CW here, so it was another nice chance to complete...
Hi, I could add some new slots in the "TN2T chase", but as the online log won't be updated before the end of the DX-pedition, all of this will have to be confirmed later of course. So, after my 12 previous QSOs, I could work them yesterday on 10M SSB,...
Hi all, yesterday morning I spent my QRV time in Oceania thanks to a wonderful opening on bands ! I could log : - T32C Christmas Island IOTA OC-024 ALL TIME NEW ONE (my worked DXCC # 274 and worked IOTA # 343! ) on 20M CW... - NH7O Hawaii on 10M SSB (new...
Hi, I took good moments in chasing these XU1A from Cambodia ! Already confirmed on 10M CW, 12M CW, 15M SSB, 20M CW & 40M CW here, it was a good opportunity to add some new bands or slots... I got them on 12M CW-SSB-RTTY, 15M CW-SSB-RTTY, 17M CW-SSB? 20M...

Hi, another new DX-pedition started with 3DA0PW Swaziland... Swaziland is only confirmed here on 15 & 20M SSB (3DA0TM in 2004, one of my first DX !! ), so I will first look at the new bands, especially in CW (and my luck is that they work especially in...
Well, that's in the title : Mike was coming here 579 on my 5 elements beam yesterday evening... working a large pile-up, I had to repeat my call 3 times but it's OK : DXCC #48 on the Magic band ! Another interesting one is RI1ANF (South Shetland Islands)...
Hi, no more QSOs were added here, 30M CW was the most possible new band, but too many lids on air made it impossible... 40M CW was really too weak here, and no signal heard on 12M & 10M. Thank you very much to the ZL9HR team for bringing on the air Campbell...
Hi, this morning, I could add 10M CW (#215), this was really difficult this time because 3C0E was weak + big QSB + 10kHz pile-up !!! 45 minutes to be logged ! But it's done ! I hope any activity from 17M to low bands now until tomorrow morning, because...
Hi, this morning after PJ4C, I could work again Carlos OA1F from Peru on 40M CW (2nd QSO & new band ! DXCC #190 on 40M), and later, for the very first time I hear him correctly : VK0TH Trevor from Macquarie Island IOTA AN-005 on 17M CW at my 1st call...

Difficult to work ZK2 & FW ! For ZK2C, I made 2 others QSOs on 30M CW & 20M RTTY but I am not in their online log, so it has to be done again ! For FW0NAR, I could add 20M CW... and you know what, I was working with 10W !!! I just realized it after my...
Hi all, this morning I woke up early in order to try the Top Band, and I was right : starting 449, they came to a real 579 here after some minutes QRV... Another good new, my RTTY QSOs on 40 & 80M the day before are OK too ! A lot of people in the split,...
