×Hello and Welcome to the DX Corner for your weekly Dose of DX as part of Ham Radios oldest Ham Radio Magazine on the air, “This week in amateur radio.” I’m Bill, AJ8B. I am not sure how many of you are interested in 60M, but overall interest is growing. One of my best friends, Joe, W8GEX, produces a 60-meter newsletter. Joe is considered by many as the godfather of 60m. With almost 250 entities confirmed on 60, I can understand why. New Zealand stations ZL4OL and ZL2CC have been heard around 0700z. Watch your 60m packet cluster for these advid 60M operators. 4U1UN has been on 60m recently. Keep an eye out for that one also. Some of the rare DX on 60 meters recently has included A51AE, 7Q6M, and T77C.Don’t forget to have a look at our website 60metersonline.com. There are details about our DXCC and WAS Awards for 60 meters. . Thanks, Joe, for letting me use this information. You can learn more about 60 meters by checking out the DX Mentor podcast, episode 24. (https://youtu.be/Mq7YN6euHHM ) Just go to YouTube or your podcast app and search for The DX Mentor. Episode 24 will give you all the details about getting on 60 meters. This section of DX News comes from Bernie, W3UR, editor of the DailyDX, the WeeklyDX, and the How’s DX column in QST. If you would like a free 2-week trial of the DailyDX, your only source of real-time DX information, just drop me a note at thedxmentor@gmail.com Inveterate DXpeditioner IV3FSG, Elvira, will operate D68Z from March 3 until at least March 18. Elvira is currently QRV. She will be operating on 160-6M CW, SSB, RTTY, FT8, and FT4. Elvira will use three ICOM IC-7300 radios, with one dedicated to 6M (grid locator LH18og) operational around the clock. The antenna setup will include a 6M delta loop, a DX Commander vertical for 30-10M, and an IWØRGN multiband vertical for 160-10M. To minimize duplicate QSOs, please verify Club Log online and Club Log LiveStream. For digital QSOs, monitor D68Z on PSK Reporter. IKØXBX, Francesco, will be the pilot station for this DXpedition. QSL cards are available via OQRS and LoTW. The VK9XU team ended their Christmas Island operation on Tuesday at 0257Z with around 58,000 QSOs, surpassing expectations. They thanked everyone for their discipline in the pileups. The team is now heading to Cocos (Keeling) Island. Arriving after sunset, they will start limited activity the first night and set up antennas the next day. They look forward to working everyone as VK9CU on Cocos. The DX-Adventure team is embarking on a DXpedition to the Andaman Islands (AS-001) as VU4AX from March 10th to March 20th, 2025. The team, consisting of 12 experienced operators, will be active around the clock on multiple bands from 10m to 160m, including WARC + 60m, using CW, SSB, and DIGI modes. They will operate six stations, transporting 1,150kg of meticulously prepared equipment to ensure the best possible experience. The DXpedition aims to provide a rare opportunity for QSOs, especially for USA operators, as VU4 ranks #28 for the USA and #53 worldwide. The team is supported by three experienced Pilot Stations: W2IRT Peter J. Dougherty, E21EIC Champ, and ON9CFG Bjorn. They will closely monitor propagation conditions to maximize the chances of contacts with stations across the United States. Updates and contact details for the Pilot Stations can be found on the DX-Adventure website - https://www.dx-adventure.com The DX-Adventure team looks forward to making a QSO with you from VU4 South Andaman. The DX Mentor podcast recently interview the DX-Adventure team. When that is available, I will let you know, or you can subscribe to the DX Mentor podcast and YouTube Channel to be updated.Until next week, this is Bill, AJ8B saying 73 and thanks to my XYL Karen for her love and support. I Hope to hear you in the pileups!…

Hello and welcome to episode 54 of The DX Mentor Discussion with 9M8HAZ. Thank you for joining us. I’m Bill, AJ8B. If this is the first time you are joining us, Welcome! We have a back catalog of over 50 episodes covering many aspects of DX in both podcast and YouTube format. Please check us out. If you are new to DXing, I would really recommend episode 1 as it was recorded with several world class DXers. You will get a feel of the excitement that goes with chasing DX! If you like what you find, please subscribe, like, and share! If you have questions or comments, please email me directly using thedxmentor@gmail.com . Our guest today is 9M8HAZ, Marz, W3UR, Bernie, and W8GEX, Joe. From the 9M1Z website, I found this: This DXpedition serves as a critical training exercise, laying the groundwork for a successful “ Pre-DXPEDITION OF 9M0-SPRATLY ISLAND ” in 2025 or 2026. As you know, Spratly Island is currently closed for maintenance, but we’re hopeful it will reopen to the public by then. Our primary goal for this Borneo DXpedition is to gather valuable experience and knowledge to ensure a smooth operation when we set up our future DXpedition from 9M0 using the 9M0 callsign (assuming all goes well and the island is operational). A huge congratulations to all the stations who managed to contact us during the DXpedition. We are incredibly impressed to announce a total of 36,169 QSOs logged! This is a fantastic testament to the dedication and skill of both our team and all the participating stations.” Without any further delay, let’s get started.…
This is The DX Mentor podcast. I hope to help those hams trying to move up the DXCC ladder as well as those that at on the DXCC Honor Roll. As fast as technology is moving, no one can keep up on it all. I am here to help. #DX #Hamradio Instead of my explanation, lets check out what the Rotuma2024.com website has to say: "The Pacific Islands DXpedition Group (PIDXG) is pleased to announce that Gregg, W6IZT; Dean, W2FQ; Nathan, K4NHW; Jamie, MØSDV, Connor, KD9LSV and Lukas, LY7J will operate from Rotuma as 3D2Y from November 15 to December 4, 2024. In addition, they will be taking part in the CQWW CW Contest using another (TBA) callsign. The 6 member team will operate locally with three 500w stations on 6m-160m. Additionally, the DXpedition will include two of W6IZT’s NexGenRiBs. One of the primary goals of this DXpedition is to “Enable DXpeditioning for the Next Generation of Amateur Radio Operators.” Having young operators like 23-year old Jamie, 23-year old Connor, and 22-year old Lukas, participate on this DXpedition team goes a long way in fulfilling this mission. Moreover, the DXpedition organizers and Youth on the Air (YOTA) have entered into a unique partnership with this DXpedition by actually applying YOTA’s goal of building skills, fostering lasting friendships and mentoring younger operators. To this end, the NexGenRiBs will be operated by a team of young amateur radio operators who will get to experience the excitement that comes with being part of this DXpedition and what goes into making this type of activity a success. We are also fortunate to have 19-year old YOTA member Kees (pronounced Case), WØAAE, play an important role in the 3D2Y DXpedition. He has volunteered to coordinate and schedule the YOTA operation of the remote stations." My guests are Joe, W8GEX, Greg, W6IZT, Dean, W2FQ, Connor, KD9LSV, and Greg’s better half, Wendy.

The Vanuatu call sign will be YJ0VV for the DXpedition. They will be staying at a luxury villa about 15km from Port Vila on Efate Island. Vanuatu is #83 on Phone (#115 overall) of Clublog's Most wanted DX countries. They will be taking a Flex 6700, Yaesu 891, Icom 7100 and 7300 radios, two amplifiers, a BuddiHex 6-20m antenna, four 40m verticals, DX Commander Expedition vertical (for POTA activations), 10-160 inverted V, and 160m loaded long wire. The QSL Manager is K4NHW, Nathan Wood. They will be using N1MM+ logging software for the DXpedition and have a goal of 40,000 contacts during the contest using 1500w High Power M2. Probably not enough for a top three spot but a decent showing. There are four hams (N4VGE, K4QQG, K1NZ, and K2SAV) and two wives going along. Along with Joe, W8GEX, my guest today is Van, N4VGE. Topics: Intros How did you get in to Ham Radio? How did you get interested in DX? How did you decide to BE the exotic DX? What other trips have you been on? Tell us about your team.

We are going to be discussing the upcoming DXPedition to C21MM, Nauru with Rolf and Christian. The DXpedition to Nauru, C21MM, will run from October 10th, 2024 to October 29th, 2024. I normally don’t do this, but from the Daily DX, I can share the following information, which is essentially what we discussed in the first 12 minutes: With less than 4 weeks to go, the team of 14 German operators are ready. We follow our main principles being light-weight and cost effective. As always, only transceivers from Elecraft will be used. All equipment including antennas will be transported by the team members using “traditional luggage” partly oversized. However, this does not mean that we compromise on the antennas. For the high bands we are going to use our 2-element full size wire beam from LZ Antennas. That provides us with some dB more gain compared to a vertical. By using the LBS Pentaplexer we can operate 3 high bands together at the same time on this antenna. As always, we follow our strategy to use resonant and full-size single band antennas on all bands (except 160 m). No grounded verticals will be used. Verticals with an elevated radial are even better for reception, also known as Up & Outer. This time we will carry two 22 m (72 feet) Spiderbeam fiberglass poles for 160 m & 80 m (compared to 18 m poles on our last DXpeditions). That is perfect for 80 m and an improvement for the top band as well. We will also bring the brand new 14-m-HD-fiberglass pole from Spiderbeam which gives us 2 m more height compared to the 12-m-HD-pole. This one is perfect for bands from 60 m and up. For low band receiving we plan BOGs. Jan, OK2ZAW (QRO.CZ), supported us with RX band filter boards for splitting one BOG to different receivers on different bands. For 40 & 30 m we try loops this time. We always use small band pass filters for each band between transceiver and amplifier and additional bigger band pass filters to the antennas. We will run our proven shift system with radio and free time slots 24/7, ensuring that our experienced operators will have full concentration in their shift. 5 stations between 160 and 6 m in CW, SSB, RTTY and FT8 are planned. Starting with a first group of 6 men from October 10th only on high bands for few days. Second part of the group will arrive October 15.

This is The DX Mentor podcast. I hope to help those hams trying to move up the DXCC ladder as well as those that at on the DXCC Honor Roll. As fast as technology is moving, no one can keep up on it all. I am here to help. #DX #Hamradio The W8S DXpedition to Swains took place October 4th to the 17th, 2023. The 10 operators made almost 90,000 QSOs on 160 – 6 meters on CW, SSB, RTTY, and FT8. Our guests today are Adrian, KO8SCA, Johannes, PA5X, and Joe, W8GEX. This past weekend, the W8S DXpedition was recognized as the 2023 SWODXA DXpedition of the Year! At that time of this recording, we did not know that this group would be the DXpedition of the Year. "From October 4, 2023 until October 17, 2023 an international team of 10 operators will be active from Swains Island as W8S. QRV on all HF bands in CW, SSB, FT8 and RTTY with 6 stations from 2 separated camps." Introductions W8GEX – Joe went to Swains in 2012. He is the co-host. I think this will be a great conversation. KO8SCA – Adrian PA5X - Johannes Video of Adrian getting the first 6 M QSO with AJ7QVI Story of Johannes trying to get a spot Swaines Island – 10/4 to 10/17 Why Swains? What was the Island Like? The Team How many stations? Preparation Challenges that you did not expect? Anything you would do differently? Overall thoughts? Success? Goals - 90K QSOs Fund raising - How can listeners contribute? What were your expectations? How can hams donate? What's next?

I am here to help. #DX #Hamradio In this episode of The DX Mentor, our #DX gurus, will discuss: The 2023 DX Year in Review document that was published by W3UR and W1JR. This is an excellent source of reference material and has been around for quite some time. I hope you enjoy this discussion of how the material is collected, edited, and then made available to hams.

As fast as technology is moving, no one can keep up on it all. I am here to help. #DX #Hamradio We are pleased to announce to the international community, with the agreement of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, an upcoming amateur radio activity will take place from May 24 to June 19, 2024 on the island of Grande Glorieuse – callsign FT4GL. This operation, planned for more than a year with a lot of effort, has finally been rewarded. It will be atypical and difficult because the Glorieuses are ranked 7th in the DXCC Most Wanted List, and the amateur radio traffic will be carried out exclusively by a single radio amateur, Marek FH4VVK in parallel with his professional duties. David, F8CRS, one of the support team, is our guest. The following are the questions and topics we will discuss: Intros How did you get in to Ham Radio? How did you get interested in DX? How did you decide to BE the exotic DX? What other trips have you been on? Tell us about Marek, FH4VVK How Glorioso Chosen? Describe the overall DXpedition (operators, days, equipment) What are your expectations? (What criteria will you use to consider this a success?) How can folks provide financial support?

As fast as technology is moving, no one can keep up on it all. I am here to help. #DX #Hamradio Here are the topics for this episode: I will introduce each member and ask you to describe your DX and Ham experience; Describe Freedonia: Freedonia is located on the Ionian Sea, a peninsula off the coast of Albania. This will be the first activity there since 1933. The DXPedition will be led by W8GEX - Joe. Other team members will include K8DV – Dave, AD8FD – Brian, and K4YJ - Dwight. Billy, AA8KY, will be the pilot station. The IARU has agreed to allow the same call sign to be used for this inaugural DXPedition, GR0UCH/0. W8GEX : How did you find out about Freedonia and the new entity? K8DV - what was the process like to get it recognized? W8CAA - this sounds expensive since it is last minute, how are you funding this? K4YJ - You will have 160M responsibility and SSB chores. How do you expect this to go? Not exactly the best time for low band propagation K8DV - Are you ready for the CW chores? I assume there will be massive pileups AB8FD - Brian - You are the digital guy. what will you be using and how swamped do you expect to be? W8GEX How will you split time between 60M and the other bands?
