• [UPCOMING / TEAM PIC] –

Team at Paris Orly airport, April 23 @ 1300z

Final preparations are underway. The team will arrive in Germany on April 22, where the equipment will be repacked, and on Wednesday the journey to Paris will continue (flight BF710 ORY-PPT). We would like to thank DK7PE and DK2CL for their help with the hardware, as well as S59ZZ for donation. We are looking forward to the new challenges ahead and hope that Murphy will not visit us among our stay in Tubuai. Last, but not least, we want to thank our families and friends who support us on this long journey and activation. Click picture below to visit offical TX9A website. 

  • [MARCH 4] –

There are 50 days left until departure for Tubuai. ACOM delivered Power Amplifiers to us. A merchandise package (flag, caps, polo shirts) arrived with the equipment. The TX9A team thanks ACOM for their cooperation and support.

  • [FEBRUARY 12] –

Custom bags are ready and all antennas and poles will be transported in them. The DK7ZB beam antenna has been adjusted, and we especially thank non-HAM Sergej from Slovenia who brought the pipes to Croatia by plane that we will use as a pole, as well as non-HAM Anto (Germany), who got us 200m of wire. It’s nice to have friends who, even though they don’t do our hobby, are ready to help.

  • [JANUARY 15] – 

The TX9A Team will be using 4O3A HP Bandpass Filters during their stay on Tubuai Island. The plan is to use filters for WARC bands as well, which will enable us to work smooth and simultaneously on two stations at the same time. We would like to to thank to Ranko, 4O3A and his Team for their help. Such support means a lot to us and our team has no costs for using the High Power Bandpass Filters.

  • [JANUARY 13] –

TX9A Team signed a support contract with ACOM Bulgaria. Our team will get two power amplifiers: ACOM 1200S and one ACOM 500S for use. This is a great thing for us as a team and we are sure that ACOM products will help us reach our goal in the number of QSOs with Tubuai. We would like to thank the ACOM Team for the truly HAMSPIRIT support. Such support means a lot to us and our team has no costs for using the Power amplifier.

  • [JANUARY 2] – 

110 days until the start of our adventure! Some news from our team: we paid for an additional luggage (which is not cheap) from Paris to Papeete because we want to be sure that the equipment that is planned arrives with us in Papeete / Tubuai. We also want to thank Koaxshop, from whom we received a discount for the purchase of the Aircell 5 cable. Thanks, Andreas! Also, we are in final arrangements for the use of specific power amplifiers – more to come.

  • [DECEMBER 9, 2024] – 

The TX9A team is growing –  Vlatko, 9A9R has joined.  Meanwhile, all poles and a Hexbeam antenna are packed and ready to be shipped from Croatia. Rolando, 9A3MR will order bags that meet all airline baggage criteria with their dimensions.

  • [NOVEMBER 11] – 

The TX9A team have a website up and running for their Austral islands DXpedition scheduled for April / May 2025, detailing their DXpedition – see here.
