Since that time, we have maintained our relationship with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and have followed their plans for independence. The KRG has welcomed us to return for additional amateur radio activities. On June 7, 2017, KRG President Massoud Barzani announced following a meeting of the Kurdish political parties that the Iraqi Kurdish region will hold an independence referendum on September 25th, 2017 as the first major step towards independence. The Intrepid-DX Group will continue to follow developments from the KRG as they move towards independence. If they declare independence and all conditions are in place for UN acceptance, we will again hope to join forces with our friends the Tifariti Gang (www.dxfriends.com) and activate Kurdistan together just as we joined teams to activate the new Republic of South Sudan in 2011. You can follow our progress at http://www.Intrepid-DX.Com or on our Facebook Page.

LISTINFO-LPC 1727: PRESSE : F8KGZ

Bonjour Extrait de L’Est Républicain du 4 mai. 73 de Raymond F-15873. AMANCE L’armée des ondesDes passionnés du radio-club F8KGZ/Arete ont investi le site Le Petit Mont pour le week-end, afin de participer au championnat de France des radioamateurs. a.. LE 04/06/2017 À 05:03 a.. MIS À JOUR À 21:52 a.. 0RÉAGIR5 / 5 Photo HD Foxtrot 8 kilo golf zoulou ». Derrière son émetteur-récepteur, Jean-Pierre Vigneron règle les derniers détails, avec une poignée de passionnés. Radioamateur depuis 1972, il préside depuis 10 ans l’Association des radioamateurs et écouteurs du Toulois et environs (F8KGZ/Arete) dont le siège est à Gondreville. Ce samedi, avec l’autorisation de la commune d’Amance, il s’est installé avec ses amis passionnés du radio-club sur le site dit Le Petit Mont, afin de participer au championnat de France des radioamateurs. « Ce championnat est organisé partout en France et se déroule en trois parties », explique Jean-Pierre Vigneron. « En janvier, c’est le concours télégraphie (morse) ; en février, c’est le concours hautes fréquences ; et ce week-end, c’est le concours très hautes fréquences. L’objectif, c’est d’établir le maximum de contacts avec d’autres radioamateurs en 24 heures, depuis le point haut d’Amance, dans une zone couvrant la France, la Suisse, l’Allemagne, le Luxembourg, l’Italie et l’Angleterre, selon la propagation des ondes ». Pour relever le défi, les participants, une dizaine du radio-club F8KGZ/Arete, ont installé sur le site trois stations portables qu’ils ont activées : une station 144 VHF, une station 430 UHF, et une station 1.200 SHF. « Au-delà de la compétition, c’est l’occasion de tester nos matériels et d’entraîner les opérateurs », souligne Jean-Pierre Vigneron. Activités scientifiques « Nos activités de radioamateurs sont essentiellement techniques et scientifiques, et grandement prisées pour accéder au monde professionnel. Elles son réquisitionnables dans le plan de secours ADRASEC ». Les stations d’amateurs peuvent être utilisées pour transmettre des communications en provenance ou à destination de tierces personnes seulement dans des situations d’urgence ou pour les secours en cas de catastrophe. « Pour un radioamateur, le plaisir n’est pas que dans l’émission », reprend le président de l’association, « il réside également dans la construction des antennes, de l’émetteur-récepteur ». Jean-Pierre Vigneron et ses amis devront attendre la publication de la revue mensuelle Radio REF (Réseau des émetteurs français) pour connaître leur classement. « Les contacts que nous arrivons à nouer génèrent un fichier que nous envoyons aux correcteurs du Réseau des émetteurs français, l’organisme de tutelle des radioamateurs reconnus en France ».

Précisions (et prévisions) d’Alain : Ici quand on fait des expos on a du mal à faire aussi de la transmission car on est pris de toutes parts. C'est pour ça que je ne le signale pas trop pour ne pas "crier au loup" trop souvent et décevoir les OM. Dimanche 11 juin Gilbert fera probablement des émissions PARASET depuis le QTH de mon éditeur (portes ouvertes) avec le call du club F6KTW. A ce moment on enverra des SMS aux copains pour les prévenir. On ne commencera certainement pas avant 11 h du matin. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONCOURS U.F.T.

Un ft-817nd + coupleur + clé électronique minipalm + mat télescopique + batterie LIPO + téléphone + casque et toutes les affaires de rando. Surveillez les annonces sur les différents sites, parfois on retrouve comme ça, même si je n'y crois guère. Merci à tous Maintenant je recherche à me ré équiper pour faire du SOTA, si vous avez un ft-817nd d'occas prix OM n'hésitez à me tenir au courant. je cherche aussi une petite boite de couplage du style Z-817.
