9Q0HQ : the chase ! (Epilog)

Oups ! I forgot to publish my last article about this chase !! ^^
So it was a total of 13 QSOs with this DX-pedition to Democratic Republic of the Congo by Italian Team... 

About low bands here, I never heard them on 160M, they were too weak on 80M... maybe next time !
Thanks guys for this new nice activity !!

E30FB Eritrea : the chase ! (#Epilog)

Game over ! ^^
E30FB is now QRT ! Many thanks to the whole team for bringing most of us an All Time New One in the log :)
This night, I got up 30min earlier before going to job, they were very strong on 30M CW but it was also an incredible pile-up : impossible ! (in the same time, 9Q0HQ, also on 30M CW, was very weak !).
Yesterday I managed to add the 15M RTTY for a new mode.
The days before I added the 12M SSB, the 17M CW + SSB, the 20M CW + SSB & 40M CW (with 100 Watts at their beginning !!), so : a total of 11 QSOs, 6 bands & 3 modes...
Very happy for a new one ! 

  

Good back trip home guys !

Did you say QSLing ?

Hey, just finished to print a nice package of QSL labels... Many old QSLs to answer plus some "old" directs to post for IOTAs or non bureau / LOTW member.
Next step, post this ! ;)

DK7TX/P IOTA EU-047 in the Bureau QSLs !

Hi, it was a long time I didn't go to my Bureau QSL...
Thing done this morning : I have a lot of QSLs to answer ! I'm in late !!
Too long to list each new slot confirmed by new QSLs, I noticed DK7TX/P QSL from IOTA EU-047 Wangerooge Island which my confirmed IOTA #406... EU IOTAs not yet worked/confirmed  are rare here, I saw it immediately ;)

Thanks Oliver for QSLing...

9Q0HQ Democratic Republic of Congo : the chase ! #2

Hi all, the chase continues with 9Q0HQ...
Contacts are going on here : since yesterday I managed to add 4 new QSOs including 2 new bands !
15M SSB & 17M SSB for 2 new slots, and 40M CW + 6M CW (Magic band !) in 5 minutes for 2 new bands yesterday evening !
This is crazy : I didn't add any new DXCC on 6M for months, and yesterday evening, thanks to 9Q0HQ,  it was my 87th worked DXCC on the Magic band ! :)

I will now look at them on 10M , 15M, 30M, 80M & maybe 160M CW, and 20M SSB...
Good luck to all !
