[HCRA] DX Operations, Sept.

[Mike DeChristopher]

Hi everyone,<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Was tuning down the bands yesterday and heard a few interesting prefixes.&nbsp; Checked what I had written down at the beginning of the month, and saw there are quite a few DXpeditions still out there (the big ones should be popping up around CQWW).<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;S79RC, Seychelles, is still on the air - all bands, I don't know if it is CW or SSB or both.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OJ0LA, Market Reef, is 160-10, SSB, CW, and RTTY.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SV5/GM3YOR, Dodecanese, is all bands, CW only.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7Q7CE, Malawi, is 80-10, SSB only.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CU8/F8AYU, Azores, on 40 and 20 CW and SSB.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;V5/G3RWF, Namibia, didn't list any information, but keep an eye on the cluster.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SV9/G8VHB, Crete, 20-10m, says only running 100W, but you should hear him.<BR>Also, for you RTTY guys, Sept. 23-24 is the CQWW RTTY contest.&nbsp; Tajikistan will be on the air, as will the Galapagos, Aland Island (five stations from there) and the Canary Islands.&nbsp; I think I also saw a J7R (Dominica) in there as well.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll have my eye to the cluster, especially now that we are getting closer to CQWW, the DXpeditions should be getting to their prefixes and setting up their stations.&nbsp; If anyone works something interesting, give me a shout...I need a few of those!<BR><BR><br><br>-------------------------------------------------<BR><B><I>Mike DeChristopher, K1KAA<BR><A href="http://mdechristopher.googlepages.com"><FONT size=1>http://mdechristopher.googlepages.com</FONT></A></I></B><br><br>
