Re: [Elecraft] Another K3 Antarctic excursion.
Jim, Thanks for the heads up. I'll try and listen. I wonder if there is any particular band or time of operation. Otherwise, I guess I'll just have to watch the DX cluster. I didn't realize that operating from a ship, in territorial waters, didn't count for DXCC. However, I'm not surprised that I didn't know this tidbit since I'm not an avid DX chaser. I suppose that is because actual location might be a bit "fuzzy" when operating that way, but it sure seems if a ship is docked it ought to count! Hi. So, if I would be operating from a house boat in San Francisco Bay, or maybe San Diego harbor, I guess that wouldn't count as being in California either! Hi. Anyway, it will be interesting to see if I can hear them with that antenna system. A bunch of us on the PQRP reflector have been tinkering with just such an antenna system. 73, Dave W7AQK __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] Another K3 Antarctic excursion.
You all know about the recent VP8 DXpedition using Elecraft equipment. Here is another - not quite so elaborate and daring. From February 16 to March 7 C6AMD/MM will operate from the MV National Geographic Orion in Antarctic Seas (CQ Zone 13), and under the call sign VP8DPC while moored in the territorial waters of South Georgia Island (February 26 to March 1) and while moored/docked in the territorial waters of The Falkland Islands (March 4 - 5). As these are not land-base operations, there is no DXCC credit. The rig is an Elecraft K3 and 53 foot long wire with a 9:1 unun. Operation will be CW and SSB on all HF bands, propagation willing. Hope to work many Elecrafters. See QRZ.com. 73, Buzz W3EMD __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
