Over the weekend 26–27 September 2026 members of the French Radio-Club de la Haute-Garonne F5KSE took part in the September Journées d’Activité hyperfréquences – microwave activity days. The /P portable station F5KSEwas set up on higher ground near Auzeville-Tolosane, at an altitude of approximately 200 metres.

The main operator of the field station was Pierre F6IJI. The club operated on the 5 GHz and 10 GHz, using 144.390 MHz as an auxiliary frequency. On the 3 cm band, that is, at 10 GHz, contacts were successfully made with four stations.

On Sunday, other radio amateurs also came to the station. Among others, the club recorded the presence of Jean-Claude F4FIY, who made contact with the participants on 144 MHz. The weather was sunny, although operations on Sunday were accompanied by fairly strong winds.

F5KSE has already announced another microwave activity event for 24–25 October. Field work on the higher-frequency bands is a regular part of the activities of the club from the Haute-Garonne department.
