NEWS UPDATE @ 1000z - Paul, F6EXV mentions that today Thierry may not be able to transmit between 1000z and 1500z

 

An important reminder that the FT8WW permit for HF activities is until January 15th

 

Any chance that permit can be extended?

 

Thierry’s permit for the HF bands is until January 14th and he will stop broadcasting later today. We are all crossing fingers that the authorization will be extended. Transmissions on QO-100 will continue on SSB and Thierry will also transmit images and videos on DATV. Today, FT8WW will start activities on 15m (either CW or FT8) at approx 1000z. Over 20K QSOs now reached.

 

Word coming from Crozet is that Thierry FT8WW is (provisionally) confident HF privileges will be extended.

Yay!

 

Until HF permission extension is received, there will be only activity on QO-100.

Interview with FT8WW here:
https://www.dx-world.net/an-interview-with-ft8ww/

 

Excerpt from said interview
"...I am retired, after spending most of my career working in computer services at Michelin, the pneumatic manufacturer..."

"pneumatic" ... really?
how can s/o manage to work for a World class industrial company w/o knowing a simple word like tires.

That's the way it goes, nowadays. OP might be good at IT and the likes, he has absolutely no Thermodynamics, Mechanics, nor any other industrial processing knowledge.
Would be sad, not even understandable if OP were a youngster. Unprepared for job interview, bye!
In the doomed Civilization race France is in the lead, hence the superior arrogance, probably. Losers.

"Pneumatique" is the French word for "tire".
