Merci beaucoup, très sympathique le reportage sur le Field Day Nota Bene: j'organise tous les dimanches un QSO sur 10 M QRG 28.375 MHz entre 18H00 et 18H30, Heure Française d'été (TU +02H00). Avez vous possibilité de le noter dans votre revue ? Ou bien, dites moi à qui je dois envoyer un E-mail pour le demander, s'il vous plait ?

Merci Pascal, Je peux l'inclure dans une lettre à la colonne de l'éditeur dans l'édition d'août de l'écorce Loggers. Espérez-vous des contacts américains ou européens ou les deux? Envisagez-vous toujours d'un voyage aux États-Unis? Si je me souviens bien, c'était un musée du train.
Salut Pascal, SVP voyez https://w7dk.org/nets#indre-et-loire et signaler tout changement de besoin. 73, Randy WB4SPB Website admin for Radio Club of Tacoma
Hallo Cornelius, du hast recht, die Ausbreitungsbedingungen auf 10 Metern sind momentan sehr seltsam, und Verbindungen sind sporadisch und stark von QSB-Störungen betroffen. Selbst lokales SSB ist manchmal kompliziert, wie es bei unserer lokalen Verbindung am Sonntagabend der Fall war. Wir waren im Durchschnitt zwischen 5 und 25 Kilometern voneinander entfernt. Mal sehen, ob wir Kontakt herstellen können. 73, QRO, viel Erfolg beim DXen! Pascal
Nice Merci beaucoup I'm sure that one of these days we'll manage to connect and have a QSO. Amitiés 73's
Hi, my wife Valerie and I had planned to visit the USA... Mais, Unfortunately, administrative requirements have changed significantly, with the obligation to disclose our digital accounts (Google, Twitter, Apple, etc.)—and even passwords—when going through customs. That is not part of our culture in Europe. But all is not lost; my dream of attending HAMVENTION remains intact, as does the plan to visit a train museum. Hi, my wife Valerie and I had planned to visit the USA. Unfortunately, administrative requirements have changed significantly, specifically the obligation to disclose our digital accounts (Google, Twitter, Apple, etc.)—and even passwords—when going through customs. That is not part of our culture in Europe. However, all is not lost; my dream of attending HAMVENTION remains intact, as does my desire to visit a train museum and see the site of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. French television covers it quite regularly whenever there is a documentary about bridges and viaducts. Au plaisir de s'entendre sur 10 M 73's Respectueux Pascal
Salut Pascal, les conditions de sa propagation sont effectivement très variables. C'est dû à ce "nouveau" temps estival. Mais juge par toi-même : https://tropo.f5len.org/forecasts-for-europe/ Veuillez ne pas vous attendre à ce que je parle votre langue maternelle. Ce texte a été traduit. Je me trouve dans l'ancienne zone britannique, si vous comprenez. Mais la bande des 10 mètres est très active, principalement en mode faible signal. Du Kirghizistan à l'Argentine, cette bande de fréquences est actuellement très fréquentée, même là où les conditions de propagation sont considérées comme mauvaises. Peut-être que ça marchera dimanche, si les conditions sont favorables. 73, Cornelius
Salut Pascal, received you today at Sunday partly well at the defined frequency. Think I didnt came through. I heard you around between 18:10 to 18:19 in a QSO with a local partner I think. You spoke pure french. Unfortunatley I didnt recorded it. The whole thing was like in a storybook. This because a Sporadic E crossed your QSO. It began with a S3 and R2 from the start, so something whisperd in the air. Next it pumped up from S4 to S7 for just a few minutes. So your speech raised up to a clear R5. And after 18:18 it got away again between the noise. Your QSO partner was always low on the bands. Maybe my calls from 18:00 to 18:02 didnt came through or I didnt heard your answer. Todays QRM was really low, like the propagation tables told. 73, Cornelius - DO1FER
Hallo Cornelius, Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback zum Radio. We were indeed in a QSO with Sébastien (F8IJV) and Cédric (F4LUM) from 18:00 to 18:40 (Paris time). For my part, I started transmitting using my vertical antenna (Vector 4000) and then switched to horizontal polarization (4-element Yagi) pointed due East (90°). Between 17:30 (15:30 Z) and 18:00 (16:00 Z), I was calling CQ while pointed at 330°—towards Seattle, USA—and it seemed like there were stations in QSO. Unfortunately, they were buried in the band noise (S2/3), making it impossible to distinguish their voices. At the same time on 28.345, there were DL stations; one signal peaked at 59 but dropped off very quickly (signal fading). I'm sure we'll manage to make a QSO eventually—luck will be on our side ;-) I'll record it and upload it to my YouTube channel: PS: I'm often monitoring 28.375 in the evening around 18:30 GMT (16:30 Z), as well as during the day, though sporadically. Mit freundlichen Grüßen (<= heu ...? it's correct ? I know a tiny (tiny) bit of German / I'am sorry 73's QRO à toi et au OM's du Radio club. PS : Do you want a paper QSL for your reception report?
@Cornelius, Please, Send me an email so I can give you my WhatsApp number. That way, if you hear me during a QSO, you can let me know. Note: Over the weekend of July 25–26, I will be operating portable from the Charente-Maritime department (17). I will be active on the 80m and 40m bands using QRP portable equipment (see image) Locator IN95LQ QRG : 7088 or 7093 LSB and 3630 KHz (see here : http://art37.free.fr/?page_id=24 )
