UB7K European Russia on 6M !

Hi all, it's in the title, I had finally the opportunity to work Andy yesterday thanks to a nice E-Sporadic on 6M SSB ! Next time I'll try to work him in CW...
Thank you very much for DXCC #92 on the Magic Band, already confirmed via LotW ! ;)

5A1AL Lybia approved for DXCC !

Hey, what a nice & good new : 5A1AL is finally approved for DXCC !

Having 2 QSOs with Abubaker on 15M & 20M CW, I can now add Libya to my DXCC scores...
So 320 DXCCs worked here, it's becoming interesting ^^

Hi all, very quiet since some weeks...
But today I had the chance to work a new one on the Magic Band thanks to S01WS from Western Sahara on 6M SSB ! DXCC #91 on 50MHz ! :)

 This DXCC is now only needed on 80M and it would be worked from 6M to 160M... 

 To be continued !

FT4JA Juan de Nova : the chase ! (Epilog)

Hi, I didn't find the time till today to write this last bill about FT4JA DX-Pedition !
Another great activity for this ATNO for most of us ! Thanks a lot to the team for their big effort...
My chase with FT4JA finished with the 30M CW : I finally could work them on a low band ! Impossible for me to be QRV or heard during the good hours for 40M-80M-160M... but I am really happy enough with all these worked slots ^^

OQRS is done and LotW already arrived, great expedition from the beginning to the end !

VK0EK Heard Island : the chase ! (Epilog)

Hi all, it's over !!
Thanks a lot to the VK0EK team for this crazy ALL TIME NEW ONE : it was hard from here to reach you but so good when logged !
After my only QSO on 15M CW, I managed to work VK0EK 5 more times on 12M CW + SSB, 15M SSB, 17M CW & on 80M CW !!

I also heard them on 160M CW but too heavy QSB & QRN, nothing on the others bands...
OQRS already done, too happy with this one ^^

More than 75000 QSOs is a great result & effort for the ham radio community !
Have a safe back trip home guys...

...and finally YB9/IW1DQS from IOTA OC-239 Agusta Island but for this one, I cannot add it to my totals as it not yet validated by IOTA HQ due to "Awaiting validation material", TNX anyway for QSLing ;)

FT4JA Juan de Nova : the chase ! #3

Hi all,
No low bands for me at this date, I am not QRV when I'd have to, but I could add the 20M SSB & RTTY as new slots !

Good luck to all...
