Here is report from France.
Following your message, I would like to report on our activity this year First of all, I would like to thank all the radio amateurs for contacting us. It was, once again, a pride and an honor to participate in your Independence Day.
?
This year, and for reasons both professional and due to the Covid pandemic which is resuming in France, we were only three operators with F5OGL, F6FET and F5RMK, the latter having only been able to broadcast on the weekend of the 2nd and July 3 (he drives a truck during the week)
?
We have deplorable propagation on the 10, 12 and 15 meter bands with the USA. On the other hand, good propagation on 17, 20 and 40 meters.
?
Our score is as follows:
CW: 3558
SSB: 4442
FT4: 876
FT8: 571
That is a total of 9393 QSO's or approximately 1000 less than last year but 1 less operator plus an operator only active on weekends
?
Everyone told me how happy they were to do the 13 colonies event
?
Next year, I will find other operators to ¡°expand¡± the list. Thank you again, Ken for these moments of pure happiness.
?
73's QRO to all
