Ham radio, HF propagation, DXCC/WAZ/IOTA, Antarctica
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...

Hi guys, Being busy this afternoon/night as most of us, here is a short summary of my 2014 DX activities compared to 2012 and 2013. A general chart "DXCC versus band" is also given from the day I started those stats (2009 !) As we can see - Solar activitiy...

Lire la suiteHi all, I met a problem of "power cut" on my linear amplifier last July, and sent it to a "professional" guy in order to get it repaired. Each time I was powering it ON, fuses blown away....I hate working into High Voltage area, this is why I sent it...

Hi all, A new French antenna manufacturer was born recently and he's just starting his activity. No doubt, when looking at the quality of the materials, the result obtained and the super low prices, he will have a great success. This is all I hope for...

Hi all, Here are my statistics for 2012. It looks obvious that 2011 propagation helped a LOT for improving 12m and 10m scores, so 2012 didn't bring that much improvement there. 160m : From 0 up to 49 DXCC (+49) --> next target = 100 DXCC (+51 to be wkd...
