Nothing special, except that I QSO with 9X0R tonight on 20m.. My week "rythm" prevents me from being active before 19:00z, but I had a good suprise to hear loudly the spanish team now on 9X land. That was quite a big fight to go through the NA pile-up...

Hi all, Good surprise today in the mail : I got V8FZA very nice QSL for our 17m QSO (Thanks to DL3FZA !) and HC8N for our 10m QSO (that was an unforgettable QSO last autumn, band was dead, he was the only signal on 10m at 19:17z after sunset !!!!!!!)....

Hi folks, I was never expected to QSO VP6DX on so many bands, with so small conditions (100W, and a 5-bander beam from 20-10m). Finally, I got them on 5 bands :: 80/40/20/17/15m (+17m QRP QSO). Really amazing. I wish next TX5C on Clipperton will be like...
