Probably, the old days, those in which CW and SSB were the best expression of the world of Amateur Radio will never come back, but fortunately, there are still young people that, to the most modern digital transmission/reception techniques (such as FT4/FT8, in which is the PC that makes QSOs), those youngs prefere the traditional ways, those that truly have the charm that takes you inside!
Well, David Brunet F4FKT-FT4YM, despite being relatively young, must be one of the old fashioned Hams; we met him “On Air” during his past two seasons in Antarctica where he gave many radioamateurs the pleasure of several QSOs including a couple of “New Ones”.
WAP has recently received a mail from David on which he express his appreciation for our Antarctic website: “I relive good memories as I read her lines, emotions arise and fingers frozen too” was his comment!
David said he should go back to Antarctica this year with a little better equipment: “Yes it is a chance to go, quite hard to transmit after work; I have the pleasure to give pleasure to the OM who have the chance to hear me and especially to answer me. I would not fail to inform you via Mehdi F5FPF”
Wonderful to know that David will be again in Antarctica and for sure, Hams worldwide will be pleased to log FT4YM again, perhaps from some “New Ones”. For now, while waiting the season to come, WAP and the thousand of Antarctic chasers wish David a great time on the Ice!
TNX and good luck to David Brunet F4FKT/FT4YM
