BONNE ECOUTE SUR 145.800MHZ
Le week-end prochain nous serons actif depuis notre sommet préféré dans les pyrénées à l'occasion du concours IARU VHF de la région 1. Puis le radio-club sera présent sur les allées à Béziers le 12 septembre pour le forum des associations. Cette année nous avons trois nouveaux indicatifs à fêter: F4DGU Philippe, F4GEE Robert et F4GEF Noël. Félicitations aux nouveaux et un grand merci à Bruno F6EVA notre formateur.Enfin le dimanche 20 septembre, mémorial F9NL depuis le département de la lozère.
Voilà les vacances sont terminées, j'ai pris ma dose sur les bandes HF depuis les monts ardéchois avec une simple mais efficace antenne Lévy. Merci à tous pour les bons QSOs, en particuliers à ON5HQ Jules pour le QSP vers F5AYZ Claude ainsi qu'à 9M2QQ Hans au sud de Kuala Lumpur pour sa patience à me décoder le 28 août, jour d'excellente propagation dans toutes les directions.
73 et bonne rentrée à tous
