[NEWS UPDATE] –
Eric’s flight from Glasgow was delayed this morning preventing him getting onto the Grenada flight from London. British Airways have now booked him on tomorrow’s flight so the activity from J3 will be one day shorter because of this delay.
[JULY 3] – by Eric GM5RDX
It’s almost time to depart for Grenada and disaster strikes our well worked plan. Graham 2M0IJU (J38LD) is now required to stay in the UK due to a small crisis at his business. So he will not be making the trip and unfortunately he will not be operating as J38LD.
So it’s become another solo DXpedition this year for Eric GM5RDX, operating as J38DX. Some last minute changes to the equipment list have become essential, as it’s now a single operator setup, albeit with two transceivers.
I expect to have an FT8 station operational soon after my arrival on Saturday evening with the SSB station being setup on Sunday morning. Band conditions permitting I expect to be fully operational with two stations by around 11am Sunday (16:00 GMT). One FT8 station and one SSB – still maintaining the capability to work across 80-6m.
[MAY 1] – Eric GM5RDX & Graham 2M0IJU will be operating from Grenada during early July 2025. Eric has been issued J38DX and Graham will operate as J38LD. Mostly QRV on SSB but also some FT8 data transmissions too. They will be operating from a location at a sea cliff cottage on the south of the island from 5th July – 13th July 2025. More details here.
