January's in the log...
Hi all, here's my January report !
A lot of QSOs on FT8, I have to admit it was pleasant to work all "usual" countries in a new mode, even if I was more looking for new ones on Top Band when I decided to jump in... I am actually at 186 worked DXCCs in digital modes (RTTY + FT8), that is not bad...
About the rest, I worked N5PHT on 20M CW from IOTA NA-143 Galveston Island & C8X + C81G from IOTA AF-061, they are my 567th & 568th worked islands...
On Top Band, I could log FG8OJ from Guadeloupe, CU3EQ from Azores on FT8 & E31A Eritrea, C6AGU from Bahamas, ZC4A UK Bases on Cyprus, P4/DL4MM Aruba, 3V8CB Tunisia and Z33C Macedonia on CW, which permitted me to reach the 100 worked DXCCs on 160M !
8 more to confirm now and I'll reach the "10B-DXCC"...
End January Kosovo finally entered the DXCC list, I'm actually trying to work them when time permits (17M-20M-30M CW + 20M SSB), it is my 322nd worked DXCC !

E31A Eritrea, the chase !
Hi, E31A team hits the bands since some days.
Eritrea is already confirmed on several bands including 6M here so, not in hurry.
Despite the big piles, the ops usually listen to a short split and use their filters & good ears.
In 3 days, I could log them on 15M CW (new slot), 17M CW, 160M CW (new band), 40M SSB (new slot), 80M CW (new band) & 30M CW (new band) !
All bands are filled from 6M to 160M, I don't ask anymore ! Thanks to the team for their excellent job there !
Good luck to all !

December's in the log...
Hi, yes I'm late !
End of year & beginning of 2018 were very busy... ^^
December started well with ARRL 160M CW thanks to my new Inverted L : I made 50 QSOs in 4 hours of activity, 30 sections including Virgin Islands for a new one !
- HV0A Vatican City was worked on 80M & 160M CW for 2 new bands !
- Then I seriously started to learn & work FT8 in order to grab some good ones on Top Band.
I could log A71AM, YV4DYJ, EA6SX, SV5DKL, IS0GQX & W7USA from Arizona @ 0800UTC !
Still on 160M, SV9BAI & PJ7/UT6UD were worked in CW for another 2 new ones...
- On 80M CW, I could work TZ4AM from Mali for another new one !
- On December 29th, I could enjoy a short 6M FT8 opening and then work G0GGG, GM4UYE, G4AYU, G7ITD & GM4VGR... TNX guys !
- I also worked a loooot of US stations on FT8 and finally completed my WAS "LotW only" in 2 weeks, that's awesome...
FT8 or not be ? I don't know but other digimodes lost a lot of fans since its start...
My Digimodes total jumped to 182 DXCC at this day.
That was December report, stay tuned !
