After returning from a successful mission to Ramsey Island EU-124, I am now home and returning to QSL work.
OQRS is up to date. 93 letters were posted this morning and 250 bureau cards processed this morning also.
Post has just arrived from the PO Box and an incoming box from the RSGB is due tomorrow.
Another 54 letters posted on Thursday 25th.
United Radio QSL Bureau will be closed from Wednesday 17th to 24th June 2014.
I will be able to answer some emails, QSL requests will be completed on my return. Thank you!
We would like to announce that we are currently in the final planning stages of our regular trip to Ramsey Island – IOTA EU-124. This year we are going to try to have 3 stations on air full time as we are only there for 3 nights.
Arrive on island Friday 19th June.
Depart island Monday 22nd June.
Please note that operation in the days before and after with MC0SHL will be from the club house on mainland Wales EU-005.
We will be using 3 of the new “Hexpedition” hexbeams built by Ant, one will be directed to the West to allow us to work as many stations in the USA as possible as we seem to be lacking contacts from there each year. There may be some digi mode operating and again we will be looking on 6m to work as many as possible on there too.
Team members this year include a new addition of Vinny, M0TAV, who we welcome into the fold as a guest operator. Vinny is the antenna erector here in the midlands and has experience of operating from around the world when he was working on cruise ships and from his time in Thailand.

Laura MW6INK – Ant’s wife and Janes right hand
Glenys G8KWD – Tony’s wife and Janes left hand. The girls are in charge as usual and I am sure will keep us all in our place.
Usual DX Code of conduct rules will be adhered to (FULL CALL ONLY) and the regular QSL route via M0URX. Please do not send your card to us via the bureau as we do not need your card, but use Tim’s on line request service.
Or request direct and donate a couple of dollars to assit with our costs.
There may be some operating the days before and after from the farm as we all assemble and get ready to travel.
We look forward to meeting you on the air and again we ask to listen to who we call and just act in a true Ham Spirit and allow us to complete the QSO’s.
Just one week after the E30FB QSL cards arrived from the printer we are pleased to report that 4,391 letters will be posted on Monday 8th June 2015.
Over 100 hours of work from the QSL team involved in the QSL process, M0OXO Charles and G1VDP Chris. Thank you guys, your help was most appreciated as always.
