[Dx-qsl] PRESS RELEASE #2 - H44KW DX-PEDITION

[Phil Whitchurch]

Please give the maximum publicity to the following:

 

Phil, G3SWH and Jim, G3RTE will be active from Honiara, Guadalcanal in the
Solomon Islands from the 18th to the 28th February 2013. The Solomon Islands
are located in CQ zone 28, ITU zone 51.  Guadalcanal counts as OC-047 for
IOTA purposes. The "most wanted" data provided by Clublog currently shows
the Solomon Islands at #81 in Europe and #77 in North America. Our activity
will be on CW only on all bands 80-10 meters using 2 x K2s with 2 x KPA500
amplifiers to wire antennas. There will be no 160, 60, 6 metres or EME
activity.  

 

Propagation permitting, we plan to have two stations on the air for as many
hours every day as is possible.  Our main objective is to work as many
European, North American and ROTW stations on as many different bands as
possible and plan to make at least 15,000 QSOs.  We will always work split
and listen between 1 and 5 kHz up.

 

Subject to a reliable Internet connection, we will upload the log to Clublog
and the G3SWH web site on a daily basis. Otherwise the complete log will be
uploaded upon our return.

 

The log will be uploaded to LoTW as soon as possible after we return to the
UK.

 

Please make only one QSO per band. Making duplicate QSOs prevents someone
else from making a QSO! Duplicate QSOs will *NOT* be logged. Believe your
ears, not your Internet browser!

 

QSL via G3SWH, either via the OQRS facility on Phil's web site
http://www.g3swh.org.uk (recommended), direct with SAE and adequate return
postage or via the traditional bureau route.

 

There is more information at www.g3swh.org.uk/h44kw.html which will be
updated from time to time

 

73 for now and TIA
