St. Paul Island DXpedition New Member

The St. Paul Island DXpedition scheduled for August 19-29th, 2016, has added another new member/operator to the team - Phil McBride, VA3QR, making the number of amateur / ham radio operators to nine!

McBride has been a ham since his teenage years, enjoys DXing, contesting, and technical aspects of our hobby. This will be his first DXpedition.

The team is contributing most of the funding for the DXpedition, however are open to accepting individual donations - No amount is too small. The single most expensive item is the cost for the transportation to access the island. While a contact cannot be guaranteed, those who do "work (QSO) us, that have made a donation, will automatically receive a QSL card. No need for a request to be made, no postage, no green stamps. It is a small way for us to say 'thank you'".

Camb-Hams to Operate from Isle of Mull

Ten members of the Camb Hams are returning to Grasspoint IO76EJ on the Scottish island of Mull (IOTA EU-008) from 15-21 May 2015 as GS3PYE/P

Camb-Hams operating from Isle of Mull 2012

They will be QRV with multiple stations on HF on 3.5-28MHz SSB, CW, RTTY and PSK with dipoles and verticals and up to 400W if necessary.   

VHF activity will be on 50MHz, 70MHz and 144MHz, all bands QRO with sizeable antennas.  

VHF will be mainly QRV using JT6m or ISCAT on 50MHz, FSK441 on 70MHz and FSK441 and JT65b (for EME) on 144MHz, but SSB and CW is also possible, especially in any sporadic E propagation openings. Other modes by agreement.

Satellite operations on 2m & 70cm will use an Icom IC-910 and X-Quad antennas mounted on a fully automatic AZ/EL tracking system. If internet connectivity allows, the VHF operators will monitor ON4KST Chat for terrestrial activity and N0UK JT65 chat for EME. You can submit your VHF sked requests online - http://tiny.cc/gs3pyesked

The team will be QRV in the 80m CW CC event on the 21st and in the 144MHz contest on the 16th and 17th. They may do very short side trips to Iona and the Treshnish Islands and will announce these nearer the time on the website.

Please QSL only via OQRS on ClubLog for direct or bureau cards. Do not send any cards direct or via the bureau.
