EL2DT Liberia & JG8NQJ/JD1 Minami Torishima (Marcus Island) in the mail !

Hi, 2 nice QSLs RX thanks to EL2DT Liberia confirming our QSOs on 15M CW & 20M CW (2 new slots), and JG8NQJ/JD1 Marcus Island confirming our 20M CW QSO (new band)... the 15M CW QSO is missing, no address mail found in order to ask to check the log, so I will have to work him again !

June's in the log

Hi all, a very light "ON AIR" activity these times here, not much time for ES on 6 and no major DX-Pedition at the moment also...
I still look at the cluster for new IOTA and could work HD2RRC & HD2RRC/4 from IOTA SA-034 & SA-033 both on 20M CW.
Later in June was added in the log B7CRA from IOTA AS-143, worked on 15M CW.

Also some nice QSLs were received, as follows :
- OJ0JR Market Reef on 6M : my 100th confirmed DXCC on the Magic Band !!! Finally... ^^

- OY1CT confirming our 12M CW & 160M CW ! Faroe Islands are now confirmed from 6M to 160M !

 
-RT9K/9 IOTA AS-005 Dikson Island confirming our 20M CW QSO (#507) !

To be continued...

JA opening on 6M, UN6T Kazakhstan...

Hi all, a nice opening on June 2nd to Japan on 6M here in SW France, the first of 2017 where I was in the shack !
I could work JF8QNF & JL8GFB both from square QN03 with an excellent copy 559 without any QRM !

On May 31st, I also could log UN6T (#104) from Kazakhstan, he was 339 here on a noisy QRG but readable...

About Europe, I could log OJ0JR Market Reef (#105) & 4U1VIC...

This brings me to 105 worked DXCC and 99 confirmed on the Magic Band !
To be continued...

April & May's in the log...

Hi all, it's been a long time I didn't post on the blog but April month was very poor here with radio activity so I decided to sum up the two months there...
 In April : 
- J5B was worked on 15M RTTY for a new slot, VP8NO on 12M RTTY also for a new slot.
- CV5A IOTA SA-030, R71RRC IOTA AS-071 & 4S7VBG/P IOTA AS-171 were worked as 3 new islands.
In May :
- JS6RRR IOTA AS-079, E51LYC IOTA OC-098, HD2RRC IOTA SA-034 & HD2RRC/4 IOTA SA-033 were worked as 4 more islands, bringing my total to 548 worked IOTAs.
- If you follow me on Twitter @F8DZY , you noticed I finally worked some new ones this year on the Magic Band, thanks to E31A Eritrea on 6M SSB (#102), E44WE Palestine on 6M CW (#103) & this morning UN6T Kazakhstan on 6M CW (#104) ! ^^
A little but effective activity...
