Listen for him on 40-10 Meters. He probably won’t be on 160 or 80 meters due “to limited antennas and the city location”. For stations west of him it might be challenging as there is a mountain range about a half a mile away, which may impact “all westerly directions from 180 degrees to 360 degrees”.

11 members of the EI DX Group will be QRV from the 24th of March to the 2nd of April 2023 from Antigua Island, using the call V26EI. It is hoped to have the station built in time for the “CQ WW WPX SSB Contest”. The team will be running four IC-7300’s when fully setup and expect to operate all modes over the nine days. We hope to be QRV on 60m & 6m also subject to propagation.

 

FT8 Operating will use MSHV only!

 

Team members include;

Jeremy EI5GM – Team Leader, Thos EI2JD, Enda EI2II, Alain EI2KM, John EI4L, Dave EI4BZ, Jim EI4HH, Padraic EI5IX, Declan EI6FR, Declan EI9HQ, Dave EI9FBB

A reminder that Nobby (G0VJG) will be Qrv as VK6/G0VJG between the 11th & 16th February 2023. He will be operating from The NCRG Northern Corridor Radio Group about 20km from Perth. He will be using a Kenwood TS-990 with a SPE Expert 2K-FA amplifier and a Ultrabeam UB-04EL-640 antenna at about 100 feet.

 

Between the 17th and 23rd he will qrv as VK9CVG from the West Island, Cocos Keeling Islands (IOTA OC-003) where he will use a smaller set up of a Yaesu FT-857 and Juma (1000) PA into verticals (80 thro 10m) on the beach.

 

A huge shout our and thanks to the NCRG Radio Club, Perth, Australia for allowing Nobby the opportunity of using their station and operating from VK6.

 

Don’t forget that Nobby is a Team Member of MM0UKI, the team heading to Rockall in May 2023. Please check out their Website to keep abreast of plans for the activation of a very rare and dangerous IOTA alongside team mates Emil Bergmann (DL8JJ) and Cam Cameron.

Today was a busy day for the 3Y0J Team. The much awaited RAF flight came into RAF Mount Pleasant Base. All the missing bags and cases arrived and were accounted for. They were picked up and delivered to the boat by VP8 ham friends Sally and Chris along with their friend Kenny Laurie. They arrived at Marama with the precious cargo at 8:00pm. Sally is on a work assignment at Mount Pleasant Base and managed to work the ranks to get our gear. The team had a safety briefing with Captain Oliver and Peter. Earlier Oliver and Nina brought the team’s passports into town to the Customs Office and the team was cleared for departure. There was also some last minute shopping for some more supplies.

 

Now that the team has left Camber Dock, and will be departing Port Stanley Harbor for Bouvet Island in the morning, once again here is the link where you can follow the team by GPS.
