VP6DX Ducie Island on the PDF Print E-mail
Today morning VP6DX went on air. They are already producing good signals in Europe on 40m and 80m.

VP6DX is an international DXpedition to Ducie Island. The team will operate until the end of February with a seven stations on 160 till 6m CW/SSB/RTTY. Most (if not all) will have a KW amplifier.

On the website http://ducie2008.dl1mgb.com is an online QSL Request System.

If you have to send your QSL card direct, we would like to ask you to follow these instructions:

  • Please mark VP6DX on the envelope (it's easier to sort QSLs then) and send it to:
Carsten Esch
Drosselweg 3
21376 Salzhausen
GERMANY
  • Non EU stations: send a SAE (Self Addressed Envelope) plus 3 US$ or 2 Euro or 1 valid IRC (Note: the exchange rate from the US$ to Euro is so low that we cannot cover return postage with only 2 US$)
  • EU stations: send a SAE (Self Addressed Envelope) plus 1 US$ or 1 Euro or 1 valid IRC
  • This postage allows us to send one letter with 20 grams = 1 QSL card + envelope
  • If the SAE and/or (not enough) postage is missing we will return via bureau.
  • If you were happy with our DXpedition and you got a new country or new bands/modes, we would be glad to receive some extra donation to cover our costs and this will also allow us to plan and finance our next DXpedition. Thank you!

Please remember that we can only accept the new valid IRCs for direct return. QSL cards sent with old IRCs will be answered via the bureau. As soon we start QSL'ing, we will confirm all your QSO's (without dupes). Don't worry! The QSL's will be sent in this order:

  • Online DIRECT QSL requests
  • Direct QSL requests
  • Online BUREAU QSL requests

Ham Operators Connect Plantation to World:
PLYMOUTH - The Whitman Amateur Radio Club conducted a two-day special event at Plimoth Plantation the weekend following Thanksgiving. Twenty-two area amateur radio operators (or HAMs) set up six base stations and portable antennas and exchanged contacts with 216 other amateur radio operators in 32 states, 8 foreign countries and 3 Canadian Provinces, according to club President Paul Burbine (N1VTI). The HAM operators spread the word about Plimoth Plantation over the airways, explaining about the living museum and the amazement of visitors who interact with interpreters trained to explain the realities of early Colonial life, in the language of 17th century without acknowledging life beyond the 1620s.

ARISS Celebrates International Education Week
With all the educational opportunities the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station program (ARISS) provides, it's no wonder that the organization has captured the attention of the US Department of Education (DOEd). According to ARRL ARISS Program Manager Rosalie White, K1STO, the DOE has been tracking ARISS's activities for a long time: "The Department of Education invited ARISS to help celebrate the ninth annual International Education Week (IEW) by coordinating three contacts with the International Space Station (ISS) during IEW, November 17-21. How could we say no?" International Education Week is a joint initiative of the US Department of Education and US Department of State.

160m SSB Club Calls Contest - November 2008
107 in the log. I’ve no idea what my score was since I used N1MM’s DX Serial Contest template to do the logging and the miscellaneous field for logging random text did a hopeless job of being able to edit long club names efficiently. The last time I entered this contest, my log was called into [...]

Waterproof PL259 connectors for Ecoflex
I’ve been lucky enough to purchase 100 meters of Ecoflex 15 recently and the solderless connectors are awesome. Available for Aircell 7 (RG213 replacement) and Ecoflex 10 (Westflex replacement) and this giant 15mm diameter stuff, once fitted they are completely waterproof. My experience with all these products started with me laying down a few runs for my [...]
