QSO?s in foreign languages ? Tony GØPEHA new web site is now up and running for all those wishing to try a simple qso using the language of your contact. This is called ??parlez vous qso?? and has been made and posted on www by our good friend and former club member Steve MØECS.In it you can find all those short sentences useful during a simple qso in many languages, French, German, Italian, and others with more being added over time.
