Vertical HF4B up again, low bands ready !

Hi, 2 days working on my vertical and finally finished...
A lot of components needed to be replaced after putting the vertical up again, plus all the necessary matchings but the job is finally done ! Now QRV on low bands from 160M to 30M.
40M SWR is 1.5 all band...
30M SWR is 1.3 all band...

RA0QQ 10M CW Zone 19 in the Bureau QSLs !

Hi, again all is in the title : RA0QQ Zone 19 confirmed on 10M: 40th Zone on this band !

Strangely my missing Zones on 40M to 12M are not the most rare (Zone 1, 2 or 3) and on 80M again 10 zones are not worked so it lets me some work there ^^

Thanks Gena for QSLing, Bureau is sometimes slow but  do the job !

TX3X Chesterfield Island : the chase ! (Epilog)

Hi all, TX3X is now QRT, I only managed to work them on 20M band, but a second time too in SSB for a new mode !

No really good propagation to Western EU on others bands up to 10M, and no vertical for low bands made the chase difficult...

Anyway, many thanks to the team for giving me an ATNO + new IOTA, can't wait to receive their QSL ^^

CU on the next one...

S79SP Seychelles : the chase ! #1

Hi all, S79SP Polish DX-Pedition is on the bands since several days.
S7 is not a new one for me but only confirmed 15M, 17M, 30M CW & 20M SSB. Some other slots are worked but not yet confirmed, so this activity interests me for new bands & mode :)
At this day, I managed to work them 8 times for 2 new slots & 1 new mode (RTTY)... 

 

I'm looking for them on 10M band (not yet confirmed here) and on 40M-80M-160M? but for this, I don't know if I'll have the time : my vertical broke again at the insulator position !!! I had no other solution that cutting a little part of aluminium element. I now have to drill another hole with convenient material but I don't have here... Then i'll have to put up again the vetical (without breaking it again ^^) and manage to tune it properly. These things always happen when DX season comes... grrr...
Good luck with S79SP !
