Lire la suiteHi all, Received today FK8DD/m on 30 and 10m..I need FK on 160/80m now, not an easy task ! H44KW on 30m...Same stry as FK now.... TF4M on 160m, new zone on 160m and last band for TF Nice QSL indeed. Tnx guys for QSO's + QSL !!!!! Ronan, F8AFC
Lire la suiteHi all, An expected one made possible thanks to a selective propagation : I could log CY0P as a new one on 10m (#265 on that band). My next goals are now very clear : The 4 Low-bands !!!!! Wish me good luck :-) Ronan, F8AFC
Lire la suiteHi all, The kind of QSL that I longly expected and thanks to Tom, confirmed quickly after the QSO ! I got W0WP QSL today in the mail for our 30m CW QSO (Tom is from Indiana, zone 4). This is actually my very last zone confirmed on 30m....I now have all...

Hi guys, Totally unexpected new-one on 40m yesterday evening with Abubaker (5A1AL) logged with difficuties (simplex usual QRM...). N°271 on 40m (same score as on 12m), this is becoming harder and harder to get new ones on those bands My ultimum target...
Lire la suiteHi all, After months of investigations, simulations, coil homebuilding etc, I'm now able to say that the new vertical for the low bands is now up and running. Last year, I had a modified HF2V (36 feet high) with a L-C resonator kit (TBR160) for 160m operation....
