Ham radio, HF propagation, DXCC/WAZ/IOTA, Antarctica
Hi all, Long I haven't spotted something here, maybe because my radio activity is VERY low.... Reason : My FT920 was sent for "checking", as my AL811H. The linear should be back next week-end, but the transceiver, hummmm, I need to wait 1 or 2 more weeks....Everything...
Lire la suiteHi all, I wanted to summarize some simulations made here (MMANA_GAL), and based on Internet researches as well as my own calculations/simulations. The goal is to prepare next winter for the low bands based, improving the actual HF2V. 1st thing to know:...
Lire la suiteHi all, 2 new QSL cards in the mail today: OD5LN on 80 and 40m (new one confirmed and LAST band for OD5 !) JD1BMH (Chichijima isl, AS-031, JD1/o, on 20 and 17m (new one confirmed on 20m, it happens sometimes, HI) Tnx to both of you for QSL'ing, Ronan,...
Lire la suiteHi all, Long time that I didn't receive any QSL, but 4 in a row yesterday. NP4A on 10m --> I now have KP4 confirmed on ALL bands. Z21BB on 15m --> Zimbabwe now confirmed on the 5 "high bands" (waiting QSL for 40m too) E4X on ALL bands --> 2 new band slots...
Lire la suiteThis is the summer, but we already have to think about next winter season and low-band activities... I could completed my last year target (150DXCC on 80m, 200 on 40m) and I have to settle new one for the next winter... Of course, needless to repeat that...
Lire la suiteHi all, Not so many activities (nor propagation ?) in this summer, but always nice to hunt for some "outside of EU" DXCC even if they have been confirmed for a long time. This time, I was interested in XT2EME which I miss on both 80/40m bands. I could...
Lire la suiteHi all, One of the latest country in Europe (world) that was not allowed on 7.1-7.2MHz band : France. While almost all EU was allowed a year ago, we had to wait for our administration/ministry to sign, publish the official law on this extension. That...

Hi all, I received yesterday a # 200 QSL package from the French buro, thanks to all for QSL'ing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Among those around 200 QSL, I'd like to especially thank the following stns for new band slots / zones now confirmed ! RA0QD, NEW WONE on...
Lire la suiteHi all, First "over-North-atlantic" QSO this season on 10M for me : KP2M in the log after 30min of a hard fight to go over Southern Europeans..... I stayed there because I needed him to get KP2 on ALL bands, that was indeed my last missing band for this...

In a week-time, I managed to work them on all bands from 80 up to 10m, incl WARC's. OK, you will say, E4 is not that far from France, and you are right. But despite of a short path and relatively good propagation to this area, we have in F a wall that...
