It has been very quiet. The DX community continues to be anxious for this DXpedition to take place. Nothing else to report this week and no other details. Departure dates are still not known. It is still a mystery... If things change, we will send out a special bulletin. Remember, it takes 12 days to get to Bouvet from South Africa, and they plan to stay on the island for at least 2 weeks if the weather cooperates. The 3Y0I DXpedition's band plan frequencies (160-6m) and modes (CW/SSB/FT8) can be found at: https://www.rebeldxgroup.com https://bouvetoya.org/3yoi-bandplan QSL via ClubLog's OQRS (preferred), LoTW or via 3Z9DX.

The XX9D team is once again active from Grand Coloane Resort, Macao (AS-075), until February 26th. Activity will be on 160-10 meters using CW, SSB, RTTY and FT8. QSL via DL4SVA, LoTW or Club- Log's OQRS. For more details and updates, see: http://xx9d.mydx.de The following Press Release was posted on February 13th [edited]: XX9D is QRV! -- This DXpedition was possible by the great help of the management and staff of Grand Coloane Resort, the CTT authorities and Bom, XX9LT. All team members including the baggage arrived well in Macau at Sunday- afternoon, February 10th. The team has fixed the complete station setup and all antennas within 24 hours. The successful inspection of CTT was on February 11th. So we were able to be on the air around 10 UTC the same day. After 48 hours of operation we have around 6500 QSOs in the log. So, this is a good starting point. A first log update to club log was made today. Still a few FT8-QSOs from F/H-mode are missing in the log. Sorry about the confusion with the pile-ups of V84SAA sometimes. Remember it is difficult to find a good place for ham radio in Macau. We had to follow the restrictions of the hotel and the nearby golf-rang. That means limited space for antennas. All antennas were installed above the 8th store of the hotel-building. We are able to use only 30m length of the railing there. (see picture on our homepage) For 160 and 80 m we are using wire verticals on 18 m high Spiderbeam poles with elevated radials. On 40 m we have a vertical as well, on 30m we are using a delta-loop. Unfortunately there are no receiving antennas possible. Noise level is high on all low bands. Our new wire beam from LZ-Antennas works fine on all five higher bands 20 – 10 m. We have made a detailed propagation tool for the difficult parts of the world via SP and LP from here. On FT8 we are also using the F/H-mode. Please check our new actual frequencies. (7070, 14079, 18105, 21079, 24920 …) In CW we recommend for outside US stations 1-3 kHz up and for US stations 2-3 kHz up splitting. Please don’t call only 1 up. North America has by the way our highest priority. On 160m the highest allowed transmit - frequency for us is 1825 kHz. Macau has an interesting Portuguese history and also the status as an world culture heritage. As You know we have 6 wives of operators with us. They take the opportunity to visit the places of interest of this tourist crowded city. Next days they plan to visit HongKong and probably China- mainland. XZ, MYANMAR. Yuki, JH1NBN, informs OPDX that he makes frequent trips back and forth from Myanmar and Japan but they are unpredictable. By the time you read this, he will be back in Japan, but will be back very soon. However, Yuki has received a license, XZ2C, which will let him operate on 15/12/10/6 meters on all modes but must run QRP (25w). QSL via his home callsign. ADDED NOTE: He also mentioned that he hopes to activate Nepal (9N7BN) and Mongolia (JT) within the next 2-3 months. Stay tuned! YASME NEWS (Press Release, dated February 13th).
