[DX INFO] – by DK7PE.
October 25th I will head to Tokyo and from there to Guam (KG6/AH0G), hoping to meet some of the local amateur radio community. Next stop will be Palau, Micronesia (V6CW) the Marshall Islands, and possibly Kiribati (T30RK).
Chances of finding an affordable HF location on the islands are very limited. The prices per night are exorbitant like in the Caribbean and an S9 QRM level is guaranteed on most locations. Therefore, I will also operate portable or out of a car. The advantage is having a good location near the sea, but the disadvantage is that I have to build up and take down my antennas every day. That is why my operation will not be 24/7. It will be a mixture of DXpedition, antenna experimenting and meeting local radio amateurs.
Yes, I will try the low bands and of course 60m CW, where allowed. I’m looking forward to meeting you! Every QSO will be "hand made” with an ETM9c keyer – it will be an old school DXpedition.
[SEPTEMBER 26] –
Rudi DK7PE (AH0G) informs DX-WORLD that he is planning his next DXpedition, starting on October 25th. Destinations include Guam (KH2), Palau (T8), Micronesia (V6), and Marshall Islands (V7). Operation will be CW only, using 100W and wire antennas. Details to follow on his website.
