70MHz DXpedition to EU-013 Jersey

The North Wakefield Radio Club (G4NOK) will be active as GJ4NOK on 4m from the 5-8th July 2013 from La Moye in Jersey, Locator IN89VE.

We will be QRV on CW, SSB and FSK441 for up to 8hrs on the 5th and 8th and 16-18 hrs on the 6th and 7th July. The site is excellent towards the UK so many of the UK operators should be able to work us on tropo.

The activity also coincides with VHF National Field Day so we are sure to be in demand.

Operators are Robert M0RCX, Mick M6MWP and myself Conrad G0RUZ.

Jersey Amateur Radio Society have very kindly given us permission to operate 4m from their very well located shack at La Moye, IN89VE.

The club has kindly been sponsored by The DX shop who are loaning us a bespoke yagi and amplifier package and HA1YA who are loaning us one of their ME4T-PRO 4m High performance transverters. Without the kind assistance from our sponsors this trip could not be made possible in the short notice we have had.

4 metres is an exciting yet relaxed band and for those that operate it, enjoy it. It is hoped to promote further usage of the band which is gaining popularity and a steady rate internationally.

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.
