Here we go, E30FB Eritrea is on air !
This is an ATNO for me so I HAVE TO WORK them !! ;)
I let the week-end with the ICOM 7600 off, but this morning I was in the shack...
QRV on 10M CW & 17M CW, big signal here, let's go !
In 5 minutes they answered me on 10M CW (what a signal !), ALL TIME NEW ONE : DXCC #313 !
Easy ? I tried for more than one hour on 17M CW, impossible... QSY.
They stopped CW on 10M for the SSB, back there... 2nd call and in the log ! NEW MODE ! 10M was really THE band this morning...
Back to 17M CW, the op is slow and people don't listen him... chaos.
Oups ! Spotted on 15M SSB when I was going to switch off... 5 calls and in the log for a new band !
3 QSOs for now here, good luck to all !
To be continued...

Hi, that's over : 3G0ZC is QRT !
Good DX-Pedition again by F6KOP Team which allowed me to add one new band & 7 new slots !
My priority was 30M CW & 80M CW, 30M was OK quite easily but I couldn't got them on 80M (Lids or not QRV when they were)... It will be for the next time ! ;)
RTTY was the new mode also for me there, I could work them from 10M to 20M ! Good.
Thanks again to the team, have a safe back trip home guys !

Hi, 3G0ZC Juan Fernandez by F6KOP is on the air !
Not a new one here, so no stress, I started looking at them since yesterday on my free time.
For now only 2 new slots + new mode (2 x RTTY) : as it appears as Easter Island on my Logger32 DX Spot map, I thought I made more but no ;)
I missed the 30M CW yesterday as I thought it was Easter (already confirmed)...
So, nothing exceptionnal to say, they have goods sigs here, just wait to add 17M SSB + 30M CW and maybe 80M CW ?

K1N Navassa Island IOTA NA-098 MOST WANTED DXCC#2 was on air till Feb. 15th !
I couldn't be QRV in the beginning of the activity, but my 1st QSO with them was on 40M CW, not bad...
Then I added the 20M & 15M, another 3 days break for me and I added the 12M & 10M, and another day were also added the 80M and the 30M in the same morning...
Don't ask me about 17M, I wasn't QRV when they were on, and the sum contrary :)
My only regret will be for the Top Band : I was QRV in my night/mornings in the last days but no more TB activity with EU... bad luck.
Thanks anyway to the team for bringing us an ALL TIME NEW ONE ! Navassa is in the log !
My worked DXCC #312 and my worked IOTA #483...
"YES WE K1N !" ;)

Hi all,
Really very light radio activity these times for me !
EP6T team made a great job from Iran, Kish Island IOTA AS-166 :)
This DXCC is not a new one here but only worked / confirmed on 15M...
I could work them 6 times on 10M CW, 12M SSB + CW, 17M SSB + CW & 20M CW on my free time. My 482nd worked IOTA... and my 300th DXCC on 20M !
4 new bands is good enough, my only regret is for low bands... maybe next time ! ;)
Some days ago, I also worked C5X The Gambia on 30M CW & 12M CW, my 2 last needed slots for this DXCC !
Today I worked Alex XW3DT on 17M CW + SSB for a new band with Laos, and 3A2LF from Monaco in backscatter (while he was called by russian wall) on 12M CW (new slot) ;)
