14AT824 Philippe: The Unstoppable Hunter from Bucquoy 🇫🇷🎯
In the world of the World Beauties Award (WBA), there are names that stand out for consistency and others for precision. Then there is Philippe, 14AT824, who in 2026 decided to combine both, becoming a true “legend” for every activator: seeing his callsign in the log has become a mathematical certainty.
A Record-Breaking 2026: No Reference Left Behind! 📈🔥
If we had to award a prize for determination, Philippe would be on the top step of the podium. This year, he is going full throttle: he hasn’t missed a single reference! From his station in Bucquoy, Northern France, Philippe is constantly listening, ready to strike as soon as propagation opens a window toward the historical and natural beauties activated by the WBA team.
His activity is relentless and well-documented: just check his list of contacts on sbota.org to see that for him, there are no obstacles—be it an archaeological site in Sardinia or a monument in the heart of Europe.
A Hunter of Experience and Style 📡🗼
Philippe is certainly not a new face. As highlighted in our previous profile, he is an operator who radiates friendliness and fairness in every QSO. His passion for radio dates back to the ’90s, when he started his adventure with a simple setup.
Since those first steps, Philippe has come a long way, becoming a pillar of the Alfa Tango group and an expert in DX dynamics. Despite the technical challenges, his philosophy remains the same: radio is about friendship, discovery, and fun. 🐧🤝

From his strategic position in Bucquoy, Philippe manages his station with the care of a craftsman. He is a hunter who knows how to wait for the right moment but also how to break through the pile-up when needed.
