This weekend is Coupe du REF SSB. #F8KCW The Rennes university radio club is hosting the station. Most of the operators and supporters have been certified within the last 12 months.
This is great to see new operators celebrating their successful contacts !
Plans are much discussed to consider bigger engagement for next year. Learning CW is even on the to-do list for some !
@r2d3522 usually call #F4KIO as "sparkling" radio club. I can't agree more 👍
Date à retenir !

I'd forgotten the coaxial cable. I left the antenna behind, and on the way back I told two tourists "I'd be back in 5 minutes but that I'd left a bit of a mess"... It turned out the woman loved the radio and had done a show on #JetFM.
They were waiting for me when I got back, and they got to see me fine-tune the antenna with the #nanoVNA, start it up, and do a #hamradio pile-up !
My goal is to go back on the 31st there or somewhere else. I don't have any other spots lined up in TOTA https://tota.mashum.org. I don't want to spend too much time in the car right now.
