Read MoreSouth African amateur Bernie ZS4TX is going on a different kind of DXpedition: operating portable using EME on 2m between the 12th and 16th of August. This is supposed to be the first time Angola has ever been activated by a ham using EME. He’s going a great distance in another way too: driving there. That means he will travel more than 2800 km over four days and make the final six-hour trip of 220 km on dirt roads. Bernie is a veteran at EME. He’s hoping that by travelling by land he can bring larger and better antennas to the site and give more people a chance to work this unprecedented activation.
Several members of the Perseverance DX Group (PDXG) will activate Raivavae Island (Austral Islands), French Polynesia, 15-29th April 2022, for approximately 12 operating days.
The plan is to have radios on the air continually, as propagation allows. The call sign TX5N was issued for this project.
Team members include - Steve/W1SRD, Doris/K0BEE, Rob/N7QT, Melanie/N7BX, Heye/DJ9RR, Walt/N6XG and Gene/K5GS. The team is planning to operate 160m - 10m (including 60m), CW, SSB and Digital.
