M0XXT/P from the Cotswold Hills

8 August 2019
K1600 file5
I only went out to get some groceries….. and was gone 24 hours! I ended up driving to the Cotswold Hills to visit Callum, M0MCX,  from DX Commander, You Tube channel and Tom, M0RMY who were testing out one of the DX Commander verticals, well it would be rude not to say hello! On a lovely summers day the perfect tonic, a drive into the countryside and a dabble at some RF.
The live stream on Callum’s You Tube channel was great fun, I felt it brought the viewers into the shack with some banter and enabled them to be involved in the testing of the antenna, this also gave us a window on to the pile up. QSL Via M0URX OQRS
Thank you to Callum and to Tom for letting me join in the DX fun at M0XXT/P.

HC5DBT Ecuador

11 July 2019
Ecuador-1


PD9DX Dervin Beldman is currently in Ecuador. Dervin has had to return back to the licencing authority for a new licence now QRV as HC5DBT.

We advise that you if you worked Dervin as HC5BDT work him again again with the new call sign HC5DBT.

Meanwhile I will work with Dervin to see if we can get the original licence paperwork validated. It appears that this was an error from the licening authority.

Islands On The Air 500 Certificate

22 April 2019
IOTA 500

I really enjoy IOTA and after a lot of effort I have achieved the IOTA 500 Island Groups certificate for M0URX.

Many of the Islands worked to gain this award are thanks to the DXpeditioning skills and expertise of the Russians. Chasing some of these far away Islands have required some effort on both sides, from the DXpediton perspective and the DX chaser, especially with being at sun spot minimum.

DXpeditions include RT92KA Alyumka Island AS-092, RT9K/0 Dobrzhansogo Island AS-203, RI1F Viktoriya Island EU-190, RT65KI Idlidlya Island AS-065 R23RRC Pitchiy Island AS-091. Many of the expeditions have been expertly put together by the Russian Robinson Club.

VE3LYC Cezar & his team has also provided me the chance to work some great IOTA expeditions like ZL9A Antipodes Island OC-286. Right…. now to work the next 500?
