LOGS : 29 DEC. 2014 - 04 JAN. 2015

[Ray Lalleu]

Hi,

Many stations on the air for the New Year, so some transmissions were still lacking on the many long logs found on Internet. (Well, I missed much much more transmissions too, so look for the logs from Dr Tim, Achim, Terry, Irish Paul, UKdxer, Franja, ULX2, Newfoundland DXer, Lowland, Iann, Maresme, Rick, Ihor, Toutatis, Caroline Team, and a few other ones). I add a few notes/logs from a friend in S. France (several MW tips not found elsewhere).
