[ADXA] DX Report

[Joel Harrison]

Lots of good DX on the bands now:

5J0P - San Andres Island. The one comes on occasionally but you never know
when it could go silent for a long time. Good sigs on all the bands so if
you need this one now is a good time to grab them on at least one band and
mode.

T32CO - Eastern Kiribati. Good sigs on several bands

3C7A - Equatorial Guinea. Very good sigs on 15 meters this afternoon.
Another one you need to grab on at least one band/mode.

Still to come is the long awaited VK0EK Heard Island. The group is on
their way aboard the Braveheart. Target time is March 21. You really need
to get ready for this one if you are not already. Plan to spend some time
here. This one will not be back on for a very long, long time if ever. If
you don't have a beam, get a dipole up for a good band like 20 or 17
meters and orient it so one of the major lobes is toward VK0.

Also during the Heard Island activity will be FT4JA Juan de Nova. All of
the above applies here as well. Target date is March 29.

160 meters has been good the past week. I was very pleased to be able to
snag two new ones on 160 over the weekend. ET7A in Ethiopia Friday evening
and 3DA0IJ in Swaziland on Saturday night. I need 3C on 160 however this
is only a 40-10 meter operation.

Tons of other DX on the bands so keep an eye on the DX cluster and get
them in your log. Also Rick, AI5P, is operating from a number of the NPOTA
locations. If you're in that chase watch for his announcements here.

Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend for the ADXA meeting at
N5ZM's.
