FSDXA St. Brandon DXpedition
The Five Star DXers Association has released details about its planned 3B7C DXpedition to St. Brandon in 2007.
The plan is to operate 12 stations from St Brandon from Friday 7 September to Monday 24 September.
Neville Cheadle, G3NUG, and Don Beattie, G3BJ, will jointly lead the DXpedition.
It is hoped that the callsign 3B7C will be allocated. The “C” in the callsign stands for “CDXC”, the club from which the Five Star DXers Association was formed, and is also a reminder of the group’s previous successful operations.
As with previous FSDXA expeditions, this will be a major effort, with a target of more than 100,000 QSOs.
There will be up to twelve amateur radio stations on the air, many using amplifiers and monoband beams, 24 hours a day, for almost three weeks, including three weekends, around the autumn equinox when DX propagation on all bands is typically at its best.
