DX News
Our
last issue left off just prior to the CQ World Wide WPX contest, where
there
were several planned DXPeditions QRV for the contest, including FO/OK2ZI from Tahiti
(OC-046), French Polynesia. Soon after was the J20DX/p
DXPedition from the rare Sept-Freres Islands (AF-059) on April
16-19, and Moucha Island (AF-053) on April 20. Over the summer, we saw
a large multi-national team activate 1A0C from the Sovereign Military
Order of Malta, several island activations for the IOTA Contest,
including IS0/OM2TW from Sardinia, G3RVC/p from St. Mary's, Isles of
Scilly in the UK, and more!
As we move into the fall DX season, we look forward to DXPeditions that
will be QRV for the upcoming contests, as well as some special ones
including the 9M4IOTA DXPedition from Perhentian Island (AS-073)
through September 2, and 9M16KING that will be active from Kuala Lumpur
through September 30th. Francesco, IV3TMM will be active again as
9U3TMM from Burundi, between August 31 through September 17, and Eddie,
ES2TT will be active as ES2TT/3 from Vormsi Island (EU-034), on
September 7th.
