*AO100AG (SES) -- Spain*

On June 10, 2026, we mark the 100th anniversary of the death of the 
architect Antoni Gaudí i Cornet. For this reason, between June 3, 2026, 
and June 10, 2026 (both inclusive), the Mike Delta Victor Dx Group will 
activate the special callsign AO100AG to commemorate this event.
All contacts will be confirmed via eQSL and LoTW. This activity is open 
to shortwave listeners (SWLs), who must meet the same requirements as 
radio amateurs. To credit "1 contact", they must report at least 3 
consecutive contacts made between the AO100AG station and other radio 
amateurs. This report must mandatory include: "Day, Frequency-Band, 
Time, Mode, and the 3 consecutive contacts". Contacts appearing in the 
cluster will not be accepted. Any requests that do not strictly comply 
with these rules will be automatically rejected. SWL requests must be 
submitted exclusively using this Excel template 
<https://mikedeltavictor.com/logswl.xlsx> and, once completed, emailed 
to ea3rkm at gmail.com.
*AO100AG Award:* The award can be downloaded in Catalan, Spanish, and 
English. To obtain the Antoni Gaudí Death Centenary Award, at least 3 
contacts must be made with the special callsign AO100AG.
*Clarifying Note:* Contacts made on the same day, on the same band, or 
using the same mode will be counted as duplicate contacts and will not 
count towards obtaining the award.
Checking contacts and downloading awards can be done in a fully 
automated way from this website, specifically at the URL:

*3G0Z & XR0Z -- Juan Fernandez (Update May 31st)*
Update from 3G0Z Web page: https://www.robinsoncrusoe2026.net/ 
<https://www.robinsoncrusoe2026.net/>

*Felipe, XQ7IR, posted the following update:*
*
*
/31.05.2026/
Ten days after the start of the Dxpedition, I have reached 15K QSOs across
the different bands and modes from 160 to 10m.

The first contact was made on 160m FT8 with PY2KM. Immediately afterward
several signals began appearing on the waterfall, mainly from EU and NA

The antennas currently installed are as follows:
* 2-element Delta Loop* Single-element 12/17m Cubical Quad
* 2-element Delta Loop for 10m
* Single-element Delta Loop for 20m
* DX Commander antenna for 40/30/15m
* DX Engineering antenna for 60/80/160m

This antenna setup provides full coverage from 160m through 10m.

Today I had the pleasure of receiving a visit from my good friend John,
former CE0ZAM, remembered for activating San Félix and San Ambrosio
as XQ0X between 1991 and 1993. We had a very enjoyable conversation
about life, amateur radio, and his operation from San Félix more than 33
  years ago.

John is now retired from both amateur radio and professional work, spending
his days in the company of his children. He normally resides on Robinson
Crusoe Island, although he also spends extended periods in Valparaíso and
Santiago on mainland Chile.

The weather conditions on the island have been excellent, with temperatures
ranging from 15°C to 21°C and a light breeze throughout the day in general
has been a very pleasant stay.

Keep an eye to the low bands, Robinson Crusoe 3G0Z is ON AIR!
