[TVARC] TVARC DXCC News

[K2PS Pete Stafford]

Sorry I missed the past few meetings - vacation cruise, family reunion, and
even a funeral.  But there's so much DX going on right now, I would feel
remiss if I didn't alert and maybe encourage some of you to get out there
and work some of them!

 

T22T Tuvalu in the South Pacific (as in "skip, skip, skip to my Tuvalu") -
these guys have been active on all bands since 9/21, and they should be very
easy to work by now on FT8.  But if you miss this one, T2C is coming up in a
couple of weeks; I feel bad for those guys since T2 will no longer be quite
so rare.

 

VK9LAA Lord Howe Island off the east coast of Australia - two very good US
ops, but better get 'em quick since they're wrapping up tomorrow.  I've seen
them on CW and FT8.

 

A22EW Botswana in southern Africa - active right now on 12M FT8

 

ZD9W Tristan da Cunha south Atlantic, last land before Antarctica - single
good op with many concurrent FT8 signals.  End date looks to be 10/22.

 

W8S Swains Isl in the South Pacific - this one hasn't started up quite yet
(10/4 is predicted) but will be a huge operation with 6 stations and many
ops.  Should be quite workable but the early pileups will be big.

 

Have fun!

 

73, Pete, K2PS
