Expedition web site: http://xr0yg.com Between 20-27 March 2013, a team of British hams will be active from Easter Island on all bands 160m to 10m, mainly CW. We will run the HF bands but we also plan to work challenging paths on the low bands, emphasis on Europe. We are using Elecraft K3s, small PAs […]
During the next week or so I’ll be on Corvo, in the western Azores with Nigel G3TXF. We’re activating the callsign CU9AC as part of the Azores Islands Hunt (see http://www.slideshare.net/g7vjr/the-azores-islands-hunt). Hope to work you! http://azores-islands-hunt.com/ Update: here is a gallery by G3TXF of our operation from Corvo: http://www.g3txf.com/dxtrip/CU9/CU9.html
Expedition pileups and Club Log Leaderboards An open letter from Michael, G7VJR (creator of Club Log) In recent years, Club Log charts have become a new option for expeditions above a certain size to engage with the Dxing community while they’re on the air. As well as the essentials for log search and some statistical […]
Last October I reached 1000 on the DXCC Challenge using only LoTW confirmations! This splendid plaque arrived today from Newington. The DXCC Challenge Award is given for working and confirming at least 1,000 DXCC band-Entities on any Amateur bands, 160 through 6 meters (except 60 meters). Plaques can be endorsed in increments of 500. entities for each band are […]
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 […]
I am fortunate and delighted to have received an invitation to speak about Club Log at Visalia this year, and hope to finally meet many of the States-based members of the site. I’ll also be at the Top Band dinner, organised by Steve WB6RSE. Before heading to America in April I am also doing a […]
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 […]
