Before March 2011, my former callsign was XV4TUJ.
I am located in Mekong delta (south of Vietnam). My activity is mainly CW on 20m, 17m, 15m and SSB for contests. Antenna are :

• a hybrid Moxon for 15m, 10m and 6m (also work on 12m),
• a ground plane for 20m (also works up to 10m),
• a 80m Off-Center Fed Dipole for 80m, 40m and30m.

I have been asked about an operating time schedule. In fact since I run my own home business, I do HAM radio when I have free time for it. That said, you have better chance to contact me in the early afternoon (0800-0900z) or evening (1330z-1500z), no matter if it is week day or week-end.You can follow my DX activity planning on Twitter (XV4Y).

From may to october it is low season for my business, so I should have more spare time for radio. Anyway, with two young kids at home, it is hard to have full days (even full hours) free to spend at the shack. I will try to be on WARC bands in the evenings as much as possible since demand is still high. I will mainly do CW as I don't want to keep the whole house awaken, but as it is getting late (my days start at 5am). Please be indulgent for my CW, I am barely good for DX not rachewing in this mode.

I have not so much time for contests but I try to be active for the main SSB contest with my best effort during All Asian DX.

QSL manager is OK1DOT. Please send QSL direct with SAE and postage return 2 USD or 2 IRC. QSL send to my home address will not be answered.
My online log book is available on clublog.org.

I will not answer to eQSL request any longer. The website ergonomic is 10 years old and I need to spend to much time clicking.

Apart from DX, I am also interested in building kits. I have built the following kits :

• ANTAN antenna analyser
• BITX20 version 3 modified for digital modes
• K5BCQ Si570 controller used in the Bitx
• SoftRock RXTX Ensemble mainly for WSPR
• QRSS beacon from QRP Labs
• W5JH Black Widow paddle
  Moutain Topper Rig designedby KD1JV
• Dirty Cheap Paddle from American Morse Equipment

Now it is my turn to offer some easy to build "discovery" kits. You will find kits for WSPR DDS beacons, Audio spectrum scope, and weather stations on my online shop.

You can follow me on my blog Les Chroniques Hertziennes. Together with Freddy J28RO we also run the QSLWatch.com website and we expect you to share your QSLing experience.

My main professional activity is tourism now as my wife and I are running a Bed & Breakfast in our city of Can Tho, near the Cai Rang floatting market.

Licensing in Vietnam is easy, so we can help in organizing a trip that mixes HAM radio and nice cruises over the Mekong river.

The Above Picture Is A71A one of QSL Card.

Qatar is an independent and sovereign State situated in the midway of the Western coast of the Arabian Gulf having a land and maritime boundary with Saudi Arabia, and also maritime boundaries with Bahrain, United Arab Emirates and Iran. The State of Qatar with its arid desert climate extends over a Peninsula of about 200 Kilometers long and 100 Kilometers wide covering a total area of 11850 square Kilometers including a number of Islands and Islets.

_{SIlent Key: A71AN and A71CW}

A71QQ,A7QQ,A7Q,A71Q ALL THIS CALLSIGN IS FOR ONE PIRATE.

Qatar has been inhabited for millennia. Several families, including branches of the Bani Naim, lived in the peninsula, with the Al Thani and Al Misnad clans becoming the strongest. The Al Khalifa family (which now rules Bahrain) largely dominated the area until 1868 when, at the request of Qatari nobles, the British negotiated the termination of the Khalifa claim, except for the payment of tribute. The tribute ended when the Ottoman Empire occupied Qatar in 1872. When the Ottomans left at the beginning of World War I, the British recognized Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani as ruler. The 1916 treaty between the United Kingdom and Sheikh Abdullah was similar to those entered into by the British with other Gulf principalities. Under it, the ruler agreed not to dispose of any of his territory except to the U.K. and not to enter into relationships with any other foreign government without British consent. In return, the British promised to protect Qatar from all aggression by sea and to lend their good offices in case of a land attack. A 1934 treaty granted more extensive British protection.

In 1935, a 75-year oil concession was granted to the Qatar Petroleum Company, a subsidiary of the Iraq Petroleum Company, which was owned by Anglo-Dutch, French, and U.S. interests. High-quality oil was discovered in 1940 at Dukhan, on the western side of the Qatari peninsula. However, the start of WWII delayed exploitation of Qatar's oil resources, and oil exports did not begin until 1949.

During the 1950s and 1960s gradually increasing oil revenues brought prosperity, rapid immigration, substantial social progress, and the beginnings of Qatar's modern history. When the U.K. announced a policy in 1968 (reaffirmed in March 1971) of ending the treaty relationships with the Gulf sheikdoms, Qatar joined the other eight states then under British protection (the seven trucial sheikdoms--the present United Arab Emirates--and Bahrain) in a plan to form a union of Arab emirates. By mid-1971, as the termination date of the British treaty relationship (end of 1971) approached, the nine still had not agreed on terms of union. Accordingly, Qatar declared independence as a separate entity and became the fully independent State of Qatar on September 3, 1971.

In February 1972, the Heir Apparent, Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad, deposed his cousin, Amir Ahmad, and assumed power. Key members of the Al Thani family supported this move, which took place without violence or signs of political unrest.

On June 27, 1995, the Deputy Amir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa, deposed his father Amir Khalifa in a bloodless coup. An unsuccessful counter-coup was staged in 1996. The Amir and his father are now reconciled, though some supporters of the counter-coup remain in prison. The Amir announced his intention for Qatar to move toward democracy and has permitted a freer and more open press and municipal elections as a precursor to expected parliamentary elections. Qatari citizens approved a new constitution via public referendum in April 2003, which came into force in June 2005.

Bonaire became a separate DXCC since 10-10-2010.

November 2012 I started using a QSL manager, Tim, M0URX:

Tim Beaumont MØURX
P.O. Box 17 Kenilworth
Warwickshire CV8 1SF
ENGLAND

As I am personally not interested in receiving cards, you can also use Tim's excelent OQRS service via

http://m0urx.com/oqrs

And have a look at his website also ! http://www.m0urx.com

The buro cards take a very long time to reach me and our mail system is very unreliable so if you already send me a card and got nothing back, you can still try Tim's OQRS service in order to get Bonaire confirmed more quickly.
The log in OQRS is OK since the start of PJ4NX in Januari 2008.

March 27th 2007 I have moved permanently to Kralendijk on the beautiful island of Bonaire (FK52UD)in the Dutch Caribbean(PJ4).

I am active on HF, 6m and 2m (EME).

Starting October 10 2010 (so 10-10-2010) Bonaire is a new DXCC! (No longer PJ2/PJ4, The Netherlands Antilles)
