Jersey DXPedition, December 2011: Yutaka JQ2GYU Joe JA1LZR Hal JF1PJK Mihoko JA1AJT (YL) Martin G3ZAY Michael G7VJR The idea for this activity came about in 2010 when a couple of Japanese members of the Chiltern DX Club were passing through London and over dinner with Michael G7VJR and Martin G3ZAY expressed an interest in doing […]
When the container got stuck in Tarawa and we starting looking at going into the Pacfic field day-style, I am sure I was not alone in feeling that the odds were stacking up against us. If, like me, you are surprised by the total QSOs we made in this way, I think the reasons for […]
Between 25 October – 2 November 2010, I was QRV from the beautiful Seychelles islands in the Indian Ocean, to take part in CQWW with Martin G4XUM, Dave G3NKC and Fred G4BWP. Unusually for us, this was a pure SSB operation. We had plenty of CW QSOs outside the contest, too. We came #9 in […]
Between 21 and 29 January 2010, Martin G3ZAY and I were QRV from Darwin, East Falklands (SA-002). Over the period of our trip we focused as much as possible on the low bands, especially 160m and 80m, and in total we made 7,500 QSOs. All QSOs appear in our log search page on Club Log. […]
On 2009-11-07 at around 18:00Z, I had the great luck to contact TX3A on the Chesterfield Islands on top band. George and Tomi’s month-long expedition to this remote island is an extraordinary achievement, but their salt water grounding has clearly made an exceptional LF activation possible. While this might seem like an easy path on […]
I was active on 25/26 July 2009 at MD4K for the RSGB IOTA contest. We had a great time, with good openings on 10m and 15m. Thanks for the contacts! Hopefully we will have done well. As a guest op, this was the first time I’ve operated from MD4K and I found it was an […]
Logsearch: http://www.clublog.org/l.php?log=YS1G Between 17 May and 23 May 2009, Bob and I were QRV from El Salvador on 160m to 10m. Luckily, with the help of a sunspot, we had propagation much higher than we expected. We closed with approximately 9,300 contacts logged. Thanks for all the QSOs (confirmed now in LoTW). QSL via G3TXF. Michael […]
Between 31 December 2008 and 09 January 2009, six members of the Cambridge University Wireless Society were QRV from Ascension Island using the call ZD8UW. I was on 160m and 80m CW – the other expedition members were on SSB or CW depending on personal preferences. Expedition members: Hugo M0HSW Tom M0TJH Simon G4EAG Michael […]
JX/G7VJR and JX/SQ4MP took place between 25 June and 6 July 2008 by Michael G7VJR and Wojtek SQ4MP. The main purpose of our visit was amateur radio, and we were active as much as possible – except when propagation was not available (about 6 hours each day). We were mainly on CW on 20m and […]
Between 26 December 2007 and 3 January 2008, I took a short winter break to the Azores, an unusual but easily accessible location that I had been curious about for some time. I wanted to do a little touring, get away from the cold weather and also, I wanted to put my ultra-light portable station […]
