Congratulations Ed. Everybody gets a 59. I am hoping for some prop to TX7 on 6m!

Hi,
Grrr! I have heard him with good signals for several days but paid no attention because HRD shows him as "France". I was wondering why he had such a pileup. Lesson learned, always google call signs that have a lot of attention. Right now he is on 28495 simplex, but in the noise with no chance of raising him. Tried though. It seems like the party on 10m is at least having a lull - it was fun while it lasted. AB2TC - Knut

Go to http://www.country-files.com/cty/ and there you'll find the country data files up to the minute, along with installation instructions for many logging programs. 73, Tony KT0NY ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Seems to be French call sign with an amateur in Russia as the holder for the DX expedition. I think the location is French Polynesia in south Pacific in Marquesas Islands.

Hello again,
No doubt about French Polynesia as the country. Wonder why they don't use the FO prefix as is supposed to be for French Polynesia. Call prefixes are a mess these days. 10m may be alive still. Aussie VK4MA coming through here nice and strong (K3 S6 on dipole). Maybe the party will continue. Really looking forward to the contest this weekend. Biggest sports event in the world they say.

Marquesas Islands is a separate DXCC entity. The French callsigns have
been a mess since I have been a ham 1978.

I worked him on 15 CW first call this afternoon! He was actually CQing.
I figured I'd never get through. Heh! All hail Cycle 24! 73, de Nate, N0NB >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
