Activité SES

Posted on by

14IR/LBC (bassin houiller de Lorraine) sera actif par 14IR137 Harald entre le 22 juillet 2022 et le 31 décembre 2022.
Harald est un vieux mineur qui veut faire quelque chose pour le Groupe IRDX, mais son âge et sa santé ne lui permettent pas de faire une activité portable.
Le Groupe IRDX ne délivre pas beaucoup d’indicatifs SES mais nous comprenons que certaines personnes ne peuvent pas être actives en dehors de la maison et nous espérons que son SES sera un succès.

14IR/LBC

Posted on by
14IR/LBC (Lorraine basin coalfields) will be active by 14IR137 Harald between 22 July 2022 & 31 december 2022.
Harald is an old minor and want to do something for IRDX Group, but no way to him to do a portable activity due his age and health.
IRDX Group don’t issue many SES callsign but we understand that some people can’t be active outside radioshack and we hope his SES will be successful.

HB20 Reminder

International Radio /HB20 – Happy Birthday 20 event

Reminder: the rule for this event is simple : spend 2014 working /HB20 stations, and then, when the year is over, send me your LOG via mail or email. We will sort out the logs and see who have been the more lucky hunters and activators. Also, we will publish a 3-fold QSL to confirm the QSO made (checkbox).

Because of the demand and to please everyone, for some stations like 79IR101/HB20, or 76IR101/HB20, or 14IR000/HB20 for example, a special QSL can be obtained. But pay attention to send your QSL request to the right QSL manager.

I’m (14IR017) NOT managing 79IR (via Adrian) , or 188IR (via Didier) or 47IR149/HB20 (via homecall) for example. So please do NOT send cards for them, because it makes a lot of work to sort it out and resend it at my own expense to the right person.

73 de 14IR017 Reg – HB20 manager

Rappel : la règle du HB20 IR-DX est simple: au cours de l’année 2014, contactez autant de stations /HB20 que possible et, en 2015, envoyez moi vos LOG par courrier ou courriel.
Nous ferons le tri afin d’avoir le classement des meilleurs activateurs et des meilleurs chasseurs. Une QSL trois volets avec cases à cocher sera imprimée pour confirmer les QSL.

Pour faire plaisir à tout le monde, certaines stations proposent tout de même la possibilité de confirmer le QSO avec leur QSL propre, comme par exemple 79IR101, 76IR101/HB20, ou encore 14IR000/HB20.
Mais s’il vous plait, veillez à envoyer vos QSL au bon manager.

Je (14IR017) ne manage pas, par exemple 79IR(via Adrian106), 188IR (via Didier001) ou encore 47IR149/HB20 (direct).
Merci donc de ne pas m’envoyer de cartes qui ne me concernent pas, car ça fait énormément de boulot et ça me coûte cher de renvoyer tout ça aux bonnes personnes.

Exemple: je reçois une enveloppe pour X, Y et Z, avec deux dollars et 1 enveloppe self adressée, problème : X est pour moi, mais Y et Z pour d’autres managers, donc je dois recopier deux enveloppes, voir comment faire avec la contrib, renvoyer ça aux managers concernés etc.

Message from irhqcouncil

Dear members,

We want first to thank you for your support during the changes that happened in the group.

We are happy to state that the IR-DX has been improving fast during the last couple of months.

New members and returning members, lots of activities, cluster.dk invasions … This is very positive !

Outstanding / late QSL problem seems to be solved and requests are taken care of quickly.

The Council is using email, whatsapp and phone to take decisions as fast as possible and, for example, activations authorisations can be given usually in 24 hours.

We wanted to thank everyone who is taking part to the HB20 event (chasers & activators).

There has been a few good ones on the air and more are coming.

It is still possible to join the event at anytime, you just need to contact 14IR017 Regis (14ir017@irdx.org). It’s never too late, because HB20 is until 31/12/2014.

The list of HB20 is already impressive :

You can take advantage of the coming “short skip” conditions to have fun with your

/HB20 suffix !

The Council will keep on working hard to meet our goals and satisfy all the members.

Do no hesitate to contact us if you have any ideas, requests, questions etc to this email address only :  irhqcouncil@irdx.org

Best regards.

the VP council.
