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!
