Hi folks

I have planned a few more 23cm activities. Heinrich/DJ9YW has fixed the transverter. Many thanks for that. I would be happy to work you all (and more).

March 22: 0100… 0200z 1296.090MHz JT65C I am TX first

****************************************************************************

I will be in HA only very short and it is probably not a new country for you but at least one or two new squares. Monaco will be new for most of you. I have done only two QSOs so far (DJ9YW and OE9ERC). Sorry that I had to pick a time in the middle of the night. I will operate as usual from the harbour in Monte Carlo. Everybody of you who has been in Monaco knows that it is a DXCC that is difficult to activate in EME. I hope that I do not get interrupted from police or anybody else. If the weather does not allow operating on March 22 nd, I will operate on the 23 rd then. I try to start on time but would stay longer if necessary. I just cannot stay there all night long. I want to set up everything, work everybody and take the antenna down. I would be happy to receive your QSL cards. Such a 23cm activity (even if so small) is always a lot of work and all QSL cards are appreciated. I am often activating DXCCs for the very first time so you should think that people work me to get a new country confirmed. If someone is still missing QSL cards from my previous activities, I am answering each incoming QSL. (Eino, your cards are on the way). I am also the QSL manager for OA4BHY. Cards are printed out and waiting.

DXPEDITION NEWS FROM DL3OCH: Bodo dl3och@gmx.de is planning some 23 cm dxpedition activities in March -- DJ9YW has fixed my transverter, so I can be QRV again – tnx Henrich. I will be active on 14 March from 2000 to 2200 as HA/DL3OCH in JN87pu, on 15 March 1300 to 1400 as HA/DL3OCH in JN86st, and on 22 March 0100 to 0200 as 3A/DL3OCH in JN33rr. At all locations I will operate on 1296.090 on JT65C and will always TX first. The Monaco location will be the most challenging. Everybody who has been in Monaco knows that it is difficult to activate on EME. I have made only two QSOs from there in the past (DJ9YW and OE9ERC). I will operate as before from the harbour in Monte Carlo. I want to set up everything, work everybody and take the antenna down. I hope that I do not get interrupted from the police or anybody else as in the past. If the weather does not allow operating on 22 March, I will operate on the 23rd and will try to stay longer if necessary, but I cannot stay all night. I am the QSL manager for OA4BHY. Cards are printed and waiting. I would be happy to receive your QSL cards. All QSL cards are appreciated. If someone is still missing QSL cards from my previous activities, I am answering each incoming QSL.
