Alan, WQ5W, announces his upcoming DXpedition to Treasure Cay, Abaco, Bahamas (IOTA NA-080, Grid Square FL16iq), October 25-31st. The Bahamas Public Utilities Commission has issued him the callsign C6AQW
The primary purpose of this trip is to operate as a 40m Single-Band/Low-Power entry in the CQWW DX SSB Contest. Alan currently holds the 40m North American record in CQWW DX CW Contest as ZF2TG in 1992 and hopes to break the existing North American 40m Low-Power CQWW DX SSB Contest record during this operation. Outside the contest.
Alan willconcentrate mainly on 160/80/30/17/12 meters CW/SSB plus RTTY on all bands. Alan says “I realize that C6 is not high on anybody's most-wanted list, but I hope to be able to help DXers out with needed band/mode countries to fill in C6 for their DXCC single band or mode or DXCC Challenge Awards.”
This DXpedition will be fully compatible with the ARRL Logbook of The World. Logs will be uploaded to LoTW throughout the DXpedition and immediately following its conclusion. Paper QSLs will also be available via WQ5W direct with SASE or Greenstamp and via the bureau.
