Ham radio, HF propagation, DXCC/WAZ/IOTA, Antarctica
Hi all, First time from a long time I haven't been calling "CQ", but in the last couple of days, I've listened to some nice JA signals on th elong path. This is indeed a long haul, more than 30.000 km from my QTH ! JA7ND, JQ1QKK and a 3rd one (my apologizes,...
Lire la suiteHi all, Some thoughts about this CQWW SSB 2010 in which I participated as usually only for chasing new band slots, new ones and/or new zones. I've been quite active, even in the night time, but not that much in the day time: Propagation on 10m has been...
Lire la suiteBut hey, this is the propagation's fault, and I have some many band slots to be filled-in..... Last week has been really extra-ordinary, and I could "finish" 13 DXCC thanks to 12 and/or 10m QSO's (XE, TI, etc etc....). I know that it will become more...
Lire la suiteHi folks, Nice opening on 10m, right at my sunset (just a bit before), with K0VXU (Russ from Kansas, 5/9 rpt) and K9MRD (Wayne, from Nebraska, 5/5 rpt) in the log. A few more guys from the East coast were also worked (Ohio for example), but above all...
Lire la suiteEverybody must have noticed the excellent opening these days - To South East Asia on 10/12m in Europe morning time - To Central America / West-Indies before sunset. That made me the opportunity to work a lot of new ones one 12/10m, most of them being...

21/10/10 Finally, my last band slot was fullfilled this morning, with PJ4D in the log on 80m ! One entire week chasing them at night to finally make a QSO at 07h45loc time, 30min after my "nominal" wake-up time. And I got them at the first call.... So...
Lire la suiteHi all, After installing the modified HF2V, I spent some time listening to the bands and see how it behaves. Well, only 40 was used so far, with CX7OV and J69B in the log. Nothing new one 40m, but there was quite a big pile-up each time, and I've come...
Lire la suiteHi all, This summer, it has been very quiet here for me, no new band slots in the log from last June (XT2EME on 40m)... Yesterday, I could get a new band slot with Radek, T6LR, on 15m, despite of my "small" conditions here: TS450SAT, barely 50W output...
Lire la suiteHi 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 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...
