Hi all, More and more DXpeditions tend not to use leaderboard anymore, hoping for a somehow smaller "green slot" race, so for a pile-up decrease. Undirectly, this enables more people to get in the log since those exotic slots generally have a very slow...
Lire la suiteHi all, Great surprise this morning with Jean-Jacques, FW5JJ, in the log on 40m CW. Good signal (S4), but above my S3 noise level, and a quite clear split despite of some endless callers (I, 9A, S5....). n°287 on 40m, 2nd new one on 40m after EP6T in...

Hi guys, 1st one (Progress Station) on 17cw, very lonely with a S7 signal ; 2nd (Kohnen Antarctic Research Station) one on 30cw, quite weak but workable (and worked) ! I've been chasing for Antarctica bases for years, and 2 new ones in the same day is...
Lire la suiteHi all, I missed this one a couple of times but finally succeeded yesterday morning to get S01WS on 30m (#265 on 30m). 8th band for a "close" DXCC, and just missing it on 160m now (but I doubt he has ever come there actually). In this very calm "DX" period,...

Hi guys, One of the closest DXCC from my QTH, but what a fight it was to get it in the log on 160m (#81...). 2 hours of real battle, but I can not complain when hearing the EU pile-up/zoo calling him. I wonder how it would have been if I were located...
Lire la suiteHi all, I finally could get Monk Appolo on 12m this afternoon (# 287 on 12m) after chasing him for years on this band. This is actually my 6th band with him, looking for 30 and 80m now. But his appearances are quite rare there, another "years-long" quest,...
