TU7C Ivory Coast by F6KOP


TU7C was active from Ivory Coast, I didn't chase this DX-pedition as Ivory Coast is already very filled on my log...
I was just looking for the Top Band but couldn't work them, so I finally added 2 new slots on 20M & 40M RTTY + a rapid hello to the team on 40M SSB !

TU is still needed on 160M for all bands...
Thanks to F6KOP for their activity !

5U5R Niger & 9G5X Ghana : the chase ! (Epilog)



Hi all, 
The 2 African DX-Peditions are now over, what a big fun to chase them !
I finally could log 5U5R from 10M to 40M on my missing slots and could add RTTY mode !
Niger is now only needed on 6M, 80M & 160M for all bands...


I also could work 9G5X from 10M to 80M excepted 40M, filling slots and also adding RTTY as 3rd mode for Ghana, now only needed on 6M, 40M & 160M !


Thansk to the 2 teams for their great job there, have a safe back trip home & CU on the next one ! ^^

5U5R Niger & 9G5X Ghana : the chase !


Hi, 2 African DX-Peditions started with 5U5R & 9G5X, the best opportunity to fill missing slots, bands or mode ! 
Actually I could log 9G5X on 30M CW & 80M CW for 2 new bands, and on 20M CW for a new slot... I now miss Ghana on 10M SSB, 12M SSB, 17M CW + SSB, 40M CW & 160M CW.


For the moment, 5U5R is most active and gave me 5 QSOs with 15M SSB (already CFM here), 15M CW & 20M CW for new slots, 40M CW for a new band (huuuuge split) & 30M RTTY for a new mode... I now miss Niger on 12M CW, 80M CW & 160M CW.

February's in the log

Hi all,
The second month of 2017 started with VK5CE/3 from IOTA OC-196 for a new island, then the IDT TL8TT hit the bands and did an awesome job from C.A.R. (see previous article).
- I worked several new RTTY DXCCs and new RTTY slots thanks to VU2WJ, CU6NS, V5/DJ9KM, UT4UO, TR8CA, C5YK, XX9D & XT2SE...
- 3XY3D was worked on 20M SSB for a new slot (IOTA AF-051 already CFM here).
- HP3/SQ3RX & JY9FC were worked on 80M CW.
To be continued...
