HB20 Reminder

reminder4

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.

125IR/DX QSL management

The QSL management of 125IR/DX is finished so far and over 550 QSLs are posted in the meantime.

Even the inquires with special treatment e.g. asking for another QSL are ready now.

We will mail the envelopes in the end of 2013 all together.

If you are missing your confirmation, please send me an email.

If you are not sure about your entry in the log, or want to send your QSL for the first time, please check the logbook of 125IR/DX on our website www.irdx.org before. See above !!!

Please do not send QSL a second time, better send me an email before.

Please do not send registered letters, this cost you a lot of money and brings trouble all the time.

I hope you like the double QSL and it finds a nice place in your collection.

News from Philippines

The QSL-manager of 79IR101 Seth, received latest information from Seth, that he and his family are in good condition after the deadly typhoon Hayan passed the Philippines last week and devastated mainly the east part.

The typhoon crossed the north part of Negros island.

On behalf of the entire IR-DX Group, we pass our condoleances to those who lost family members.

May they rest in Peace.

14IR/68020R – done !

DWC_0554Willy 707, coming from Ardèche, came to see Regis 017 in Haut-Rhin to spend some great friendship moments together. Like old timers, we like to remember old anecdotes in front of some beers and good food. Radio was a bit secondary, but still, 14IR/68020R Ottmarsheim power station island has been activated on June 28th (just few QSO during reconnaissance trip) and on the 29th 2013, for 5 or 6 hours.

Conditions haven’t been too good and we missed some of our usual IWI hunters (holidays ?).

Using the old trusty Kenwood TS-50S and our legendary Antron A99, 14IR707 Willy and 14IR017 managed to log 50 QSO, including 26DX/CU003 (Trevor), 285SD101 and 63JR2626.

Once again, we noticed that there’s some magic beeing active from place surronded by water. The signals are just amazing in comparison with what we’re hearing from home.

Peter 14SD198 stopped by to bring us some beer. Thanks for your friendship, Peter !

Thanks to all who took part.

If there are enough requests I might go there again.

Proofs (videos, pictures) have been published on Facebook and are available by request to anyone asking.

Special QSL is via 14IR017
