The night from Moinday (12th Oct) to Tuesday will be the last chance to work FW1P on 40m. On Tuesday I will change the installation so that it works on 60m from now on.
Celebrating 30 000 QSO from Wallis Island
Dinner with local friend
Cycling the island
There are about 100 churches and chapels on Wallis Island and about 8000 residents. Very easy going…
Little changes for 40 and 30m
Today I improved a little radials system for 40m and moved antenna 20m closer to the ocean. Also 20m will no longer be on the air. Instead 30m vertical is installed under 17m Moxon.
Note: Please do not ask for 160m. It was no planned and I do not have enaugh wire.
Band change: 20m —> 30m
In a day or two I’ll be changing the sloper antenna from 20m to a vertical one for 30m. Be prepared….
Oceania DX Contest
I plan to take part in Oceania Dx Contest on coming weekend. I will be on 40m – 10m and hope to make a few real SSB amateur operators (human mode) happy 🙂
Life is brutal
I’ve been suffering from bites (rash and intense itching) since day one. I thought they were mosquito bites, but after several days (and nights) of testing, it turned out to be bed bugs.
Sometimes I don’t like expeditions.
80m
Today (30th Sept.) I will be on 80m at 5:30 UTC to work Western Europe…
Schedule for lower bands
Due to limited luggage (only 60kg) and limited space in my QTH I am using the same telescopic mast support for 40/60/80m. I have to rebuild antenna configuration every week:
- 80m will be in use until Friday 2nd Oct.
- 40m will be in use from 2nd Oct. until Monday 12th Oct.
- 60m will be from 12th Oct. until 16th Oct.
