        The conditions today(4/7) were excellent.

        As you can see, his signal was a +7, the highest I've ever received.

        I've failed to make QSOs with him several times before, so I was very happy that today's QSO was successful.

        Actually, the antenna wire had been cut by strong winds the day before, so this QSO took place right after I had to make emergency repairs.

        There's a Japanese proverb that says,

         "Turn misfortune into fortune." 「災い転じて福となす。」

        Today's events might be a perfect example of it.

        OUR OPERATING ACTIVITY

        During several operating trips to the
        Central African Republic (
        TL8GD),
        Chad (
        TT1GD), Congo (TN8GD)
        I set up permanent amateur radio stations at the local QTHs.
        The radios and antennas stayed on site and are looked after by local caretakers.

        I hold valid permanent licences for both locations.
        Whenever conditions allow, the stations are on the air from time to time,
        including remote operation, mainly on FT8, FT4, FT2, CW and SSB
        (testing the new option in N1MM called PIPER).

        ------------------------

        Podczas wyjazdów do
        Republiki Środkowoafrykańskiej i Czadu,
        realizowanych w ramach pomocy kolegom, założyłem stałe stacje krótkofalarskie.
        Sprzęt i anteny pozostały na miejscu i są pod opieką lokalnych duszpasterzy.

        Posiadam ważne, stałe licencje - TL8GD, TT1GD, TN8GD - dla tych QTH.
        Stacje będą, w miarę możliwości, okresowo aktywowane w trybie remote
        emisjami FT8, CW oraz SSB.
        (Testuję w międzyczasie nową opcję programu N1MM o nazwie PIPER - stąd ten cyfrowy głos.)

        -----------------------

        日本語(アマチュア無線向け)

        中央アフリカ共和国(TL8GD)およびチャド(TT1GD)(TN8GD). への運用訪問の際
        各QTHに常設のアマチュア無線局を設置しました。
        無線機およびアンテナは現地に残され、現地の管理者によって保守されています。

        両ロケーションについて有効な恒久ライセンスを保有しています。
        条件が許す限り、これらの局はリモート運用を含め、主に FT8、CW、SSB にて不定期に運用されます。

        WHO IS WHO
        Darek

        TJ1GD TL8GD TT1GDTN8GD and HF3GD and ex-SP3GDH

         

        Since 1993 I have been living in Cameroon,
        where I run three orphanages:
        Bertoua – since 1999, Yaoundé – since 2009, Kribi – since 2021


        Depending on the financial situation, between 25 and 40 children are in my care at any given time.
        My priority is to provide them with a safe home and the best education possible.
        The youngest children are about 3 years old, while the oldest are students and adults with disabilities.
        They come not only from Cameroon, but also from neighbouring countries such as
        Chad, the Central African Republic and even Rwanda.
        Our orphanages are officially recognised by the Ministry of Social Affairs and
        are regarded as the best in Cameroon.

         

        Amateur Radio

        In my spare time, I try to devote some energy to amateur radio and
        to introduce my youngsters to our hobby.
        From time to time I travel to neighbouring countries to:
        substitute for priests while they are on holiday,
        help others learn how to run similar centres,
        and visit former pupils.
        Because of these regular trips I hold several licences in the region.

        At present my callsigns are:

        TJ1GD– main callsign (Cameroon)
        TL8GD – Central African Republic
        TT1GD – Chad
        TT1GD – Congo

        When I am in Chad as TT1GD,
        I try to be as active on the bands as my pastoral and organisational duties allow.

         

        Support, Logs & QSL

        I am grateful for any financial support
        – even the smallest donation helps to maintain and develop the orphanages.
        Contributions can be made via PayPal and other services listed on my QRZ.com pages.
        Logs from my operations are uploaded to ClubLog.
        I confirm QSOs via traditional QSL cards and LoTW.
        Current activity can be followed in real time via ClubLog Livestream.

        and HF3GD and ex-SP3GDH

         

        Od 1993 roku mieszkam w Kamerunie, gdzie prowadzę trzy sierocińce:
        Bertoua – od 1999 r, Yaoundé – od 2009 r, Kribi – od 2021 r.

        W zależności od sytuacji finansowej pod moją opieką jest zwykle od 25 do 40 dzieci.
        Moim priorytetem jest zapewnienie im bezpiecznego domu oraz jak najlepszej edukacji.
        Najmłodsze dzieci mają około 3 lat, a najstarsi to studenci oraz
        dorośli z niepełnosprawnościami.

        Dzieci pochodzą nie tylko z Kamerunu, lecz także z krajów sąsiednich, takich jak Czad, Republika Środkowoafrykańska, a nawet Rwanda.
        Nasze sierocińce są oficjalnie uznane przez Ministerstwo Spraw Socjalnych i
        uważane za najlepsze w Kamerunie.

         

        Krótkofalarstwo

        W wolnym czasie staram się poświęcać energię naszemu hobby – krótkofalarstwu – oraz zachęcać moich podopiecznych, by również się nim zainteresowali. Od czasu do czasu wyjeżdżam do krajów ościennych, aby:
        zastępować księży podczas ich urlopów,
        pomagać innym uczyć się, jak prowadzić podobne ośrodki,
        a także odwiedzać byłych wychowanków.

        Ze względu na te regularne wyjazdy posiadam kilka licencji w regionie.

        Obecnie używam następujących znaków:

        TJ1GD – main callsign (Cameroon)

        TL8GD – Central African Republic

        TT1GD – Chad
        TT1GD – Congo

        Podczas pobytów w w tych krajach staram się być jak najbardziej aktywny na pasmach,
        na ile pozwalają obowiązki duszpasterskie i organizacyjne.

         

        Wsparcie, logi i QSL

        Jestem wdzięczny za każde wsparcie finansowe
        – nawet najmniejsza kwota pomaga utrzymać i rozwijać sierocińce.

        Wpłat można dokonywać przez PayPal oraz inne serwisy wymienione
        na moich stronach QRZ.com

         

        Logi z moich aktywności trafiają do ClubLogu.
        Potwierdzam łączności tradycyjnymi kartami QSL oraz przez LoTW.
        Aktualną aktywność można śledzić w czasie rzeczywistym dzięki ClubLog Livestream.

        Since I have only been keeping an electronic log since this year,

        Unfortunately, due to time constraints, this will be the only form of confirmation.

        I do not schedule skeds because, with frequent power outages, I would not want to disappoint anyone

        QSLリクエストはOQRSで受け付けますのでご了承ください。

        残念ながら、時間の制約上、これが唯一の確認方法となります。

        停電が頻繁に発生するため、皆様にご迷惑をおかけしたくないため、交信スケジュールは立てておりません。

        20260321 JJ5IZY info.


        Hello to all.

        I'd like to share some information about JJ5IZY (Rika)=my wife.

        Since recently becoming active on the air, 

        I have been progressively setting up eQSL, QRZ.com, Clublog, and ARRL LoTW. 

        Before her HF debut, 

        Her experience was limited to local QSOs on the 144MHz band 

        and the Banaba Island Dxpedition(2013).

        Recently, seeing me (JJ5IZX) resume Ham radio using FT8 and other

        technologies seems to have rekindled some of their interest.

        Now I give to her some items.

            A     Transceiver

            B     NotePC

            C    Share antenna system

        *.* If , you can see her on any band.. Please call to her.
