Subregional VHF Contest July/Juillet 2016

Compte rendu du contest VHF subrégional des 2 et 3 juillet 2016. J’ai été actif seulement durant une partie du contest (environ 10h). Propagation assez bonne le samedi (moyenne/km largement plus élevée qu’en mai, stations italiennes avec de bons signaux et 14 QSO’s > 800 km) et taux de participation relativement correct (beaucoup de stations anglaises).
Merci à tous ceux qui m’ont appelé, bien que davantage actif en S&P cette fois !
Station habituelle : 12 él. DK7ZB et 550W

Court compte rendu du contest VHF subrégional des 7 et 8 mai 2016. J’ai été actif en single op. et seulement durant une partie du contest (environ 10h30). Les conditions de propagation et de participation étaient juste normales ; il semble toutefois que moins de stations OK soient actives.
Merci à tous ceux qui m’ont appelé !

Subregional VHF Contest March/Mars 2016

Court compte rendu du contest VHF subrégional des 5 et 6 mars 2016. J’ai été actif en single op. et seulement durant une partie du contest. Les conditions de propagation très “plates” et la présence de neige sur les reliefs n’ont pas encouragé la pratique du portable.
Merci à tous ceux qui m’ont appelé !

Short report of activity in the subregional VHF contest of March 5th and 6th, 2016. I have been active in single op. and only during a part of the contest. The flat propagation conditions and the snow still present on the highlands discouraged portable operations.

IARU Region 1 VHF Contest 2015

Bref compte rendu du contest VHF IARU Region 1 des 5 et 6 septembre 2015. J’ai été actif en single op. durant toute la durée du contest, nuit comprise. Que celle-ci fût laborieuse (seulement 30 QSO), tant la propagation était mauvaise (30 QSO et 16000 points de moins qu’en 2014) et l’activité faible entre 2h et 6h du matin…
Merci à tous ceux qui m’ont appelé !

Short report of activity in the IARU Region 1 VHF contest of September 5th and 6th, 2015. I have been active single op. the whole duration of the contest, night included.

Subregional VHF contest of July 2015

During the WE of July 4th and 5th, 2015, I have been partly taking part to the VHF subregional contest. Due to family and festive duties, I have only been active around 10 hours, mainly operating in DX S&P (“Searching & Pouncing”) mode. Just few CQ sessions at the end. Flat conditions around, except to the North-East where the signals were above normal but relatively few activity. Pity that the OZ stations usually worked during the NAC (“Nordic Activity Contest”) of Tuesday are not active at all during other contests. Surprised and pleased to easily work LA0BY (ODX 1125 km) and I5PVA/6. Very few activity in the South-East of France and less OK/OL’s than usual.
