Cambodia and possible Myanmar op

Alex, M6CFW has recently received a license to operate as XU7WXA from Phnom Penh and will be using it when he visits the country for work.

“ I will try to be on-air as much as work permits. These trips are NOT designed to be full blown DXpeditions. Having said that if you need an XU7 for an award, then I'd be happy to arrange a sked and try to make contact” said Alex, M6CFW

“I will be using all HF bands, SSB and PSK31/63. I'm limited to 100W, but given how flat Cambodia is, I should still be able to reach pretty much anywhere. QSLs will be uploaded pretty much immediately to LoTW and eQSL.”

Alex will hopefully be operating soon from XY/XZ (Myanmar). Negotiations for licenses are well advanced.

For the past four years, the group have been working with professionals in the business and tourism industries who are actively doing business in North Korea. Leveraging their ideas and contacts towards their goal of a major Dxpedition over a four week period from within the DPRK.

Using the same techniques that were successful in opening up Kurdistan (Northern Iraq) South Sudan and Yemen to Dxpedition activity, group group are hopeful in activating North Korea

Having prepared a comprehensive, multi-faceted proposal, and the group have delivered it to the DPRK officials via the Chinese emissary. Several members of the leadership and advisory team have made multiple visits to the DPRK and are advising the team accordingly.
