SA-071 PU2PMY SAO PAULO STATE CENTRE 10m; SSB ** Thanks to the individuals who put the island/group and mode (which is very important) on their QSNs on their PacketCluster reports. The format we suggest is "Mode/IOTA#/Island or Group" (ex. CW/SA-036/Aruba). AS-140. The S21DX team has updated their Web page with new details and plans at (https://s21dx.org). Excerpts state the following [edited]: Again we are planning to do more QSO from AS-140 this December 2022...
Operators mentioned are Fazlay/S21RC, Manju S21AM, Aminul/S21D, Omi and possibly others.... For our last year's IOTA AS-140 activation - We had to reduce the number of stations from our initial planned two to a single HF (as we couldn't manage BPF, struggled to arrange other essentials like batteries, generators etc.). This time we started planning early and hope to manage all the BPF/Telescopic masts and other essential on time.
In 2022, we are planning to activate AS-140 from a different Island [Island's name will be published once we get approval from authority]. Planning Three (3) stations, few more better antennas (Beam, VDA, Beverage), and our loved multiband vertical with 80m steroid - which was used for the 5000+ qso barefoot.
We are planning to use a linear for SSB Phone if we can buy a larger 2000VA generator. We will also try to invite more interested S2 operators if we find with adequate experience (interested Bangladeshi HAM. Click here: https://s21dx.org/join-the-team
QSL Policy: Similar to our 2 past IOTA, we will NOT monetize QSL to fund the DX-pedition. Paper QSL will be handled by our good friend David, EB7DX, who acts as our QSL Manager for last 15+ years. Please check EB7DX website for more detail about QSL service. All QSO log also will be uploaded in LoTW and ClubLog immediately if not during the activation. No need for contribution for LOTW/CLUBLOG confirmation (It's free) - but your support NOW can help us prepare better which will increase your chance of having a QSO with us.
Antenna firm and rigs plan (Last update: 1 Mar 2022):
80m Beverage towards NA/JA 40m VDA 80-10m (30/15m) 7 Band GP Vertical 20m VDA 20/15/10m 7 element Beam Towards NA/JA 12m VDA 20/15/10m 3 element Beam Towards EU/AF 3cm Parabolic for SAT Two digital mode (FT8 Fox/Hound) stations One SSB Phone station with Linear*.
* if we can manage a bigger generator.
Budget and Support requirement: The initial estimated budget is set for 5,000 USDs, among these the operators and volunteers (so far they bare their own transportation and food cost) will provide around 2,000 USDs, rest of the 3,000 USDs needed for the boat charter, aluminum and glass fiber antenna mast, generator and fuel and we are looking for contribution from HAMs around the world. EU-095. Operators Fred/F4JDH, Joachim/F4IDX, Maciek/F4VSQ and Dave/F5SDD will be active as TM5F from Ratonneau Island (DIFM ME003, DFCF 13-06) between March 19-20th. Activity will be on various HF bands using CW and SSB. QSL via F5SDD or ClubLog. For more details about the island, see: http://tm5f.free.fr EU-121. Charlie, EI8JB, will once again be active as EJ8JB from Bere Island (WW Loc. IO51CP) which is located off the coast of West Cork between March 17-18th. He states, "Amateurs have authorization to use the 'EJ' prefix operating from any one of the offshore Coastal Islands of Ireland." Activity will be on various HF bands using CW, SSB and some Digital modes (PSK/RTTY) as well as possibly FM Satellite. QSL via LoTW (Preferred), by the Bureau and ClubLog's OQRS. EU-127. Peter, DF6QC, will be active as DA0HEL from Helgoland Island between March 25th and April 2nd. Activity will be on all bands/modes and activity on the QO100 satellite. There will be a side trip to Helgoland Dune signing as DL0IH. For safety reasons, activity from the Dune will only be between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. QSL via Bureau. QSL via DF6QC, direct or by the Bureau. NO electronic QSLs; only paper. You can request a QSL via E-mail (peter@helgo.de) and it will be answered via the Bureau. PLEASE NOTE: Since the Webmasters of the have decided NOT to post or dedicate a Web page to announce upcoming IOTA operations, PLEASE send your IOTA operations information to the OPDX, and we will post it here in an upcoming bulletin......
