Hi all, Lucky one, with a skip going rapidely down. But I had QSO with FT5GA on 15m. His signal was up to S7 when I started to call in the 30KHz wide split. But when the QSO was made (@ +25KHz), he was barely S1 to S2 here. I had to repeat a couple of...

Hi all, As I told, I've been on the low bands yesterday night after some friend's party. I did call FT5GA on 40m even if he was VERY weak, but not sure he got my call 100%. I put a remark in my log "to check on-line log"...And today, after the 2nd update...
Lire la suiteHi all, Well, yesterday night, I came back home at 00:00z and went on the low bands to chase FT5GA. I did hear them on 80m (5/5 in the peaks), but they didn't listen to me. Same on 40m where their report was even lower. But I tried to call and I think...

Hi all, I must have been VERYYYYYYYYYYYYY lucky tonight, but I got FT5GA (Glorioso) on 20m SSB during a HUGE split...(very wide split). Everybody was TX'ing from +5KHz up to +25KHz, the operator never said its split range....I decided to try +30KHz, called...
Lire la suiteHi all, All of you must know that today will start FT5GA from Glorioso, for a 3 week-long expedition. This is the most wanted entity # 4, and for sure, it will make a lot of noise on the air. - My personal goal is to get them at least once, whatever the...
Lire la suiteHi all, Following my previous QSO with the supposed "4W6AL" during the WAE contest, I wanted to check the on-line log to be sureI was in this ALL TIME NEW ONE log. But on the 12th of September evening (my QSO was at around 12:20TU), I was not in the log.........
Lire la suiteHi all, Sorry not to have been more active during the past month, but - I was on holidays to Corsica island from 11th to 30 of August - I then was invited by my job (!) to South Korea until yesterday. It's nice to be back home, re-plug all the cables...
Lire la suiteHi all, After many months of chasing Lionel on the high bands, I could get him yesterday on 12m !!!!! For most of European guys, making a QSO with Lionel on 12m is quite easy because he is very active here. But for me, located at only 200km from him ,...
