QSL INFORMATION -
Following the Xinthia storm (February 28th, 2010), our houses suffered
grave damage, after being flooded under 1,50 meters of water.
We can indicate to day, that Franck F4DTO, Patrick F4GFE and F4GFE / p
(French REF cup SSB) logbooks were found in the mud. They are very
damaged but readable enough to permit us to confirm the QSO’s after a
while.
Thank for your patience.
All our radio activity including that scheduled in ZA are postponed
until our homes will be repaired.

RAC Bulletin 2010-007E - Canadian Amateur Radio Access to 137 Khz.
2010-03-10
Industry Canada has approved access by Canadian radio amateurs to
the Low Frequency (LF) band 135.7 to 137.8 kHz, subject to certain
conditions. The Revised Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations,
promulgated in December 2009 to incorporate changes arising from
decisions taken at World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) 2007,
permits amateur use on a Secondary basis subject to Footnote 5.67A.
The Footnote states: "Stations in the amateur service using
frequencies in the band 135.7-137.8 kHz shall not exceed a maximum
radiated power of 1 W (EIRP) and shall not cause harmful
interference to stations of the radionavigation service operating
in countries listed in No. 5.67. (WRC-07)". Industry Canada has
advised that Canadian radio amateurs may now use the band and that
Schedule I of RBR-4 Standards for the Operation of Stations in the
Amateur Radio Service will be amended in due course.
