Access to the main functions of www.425dxn.org is provided by the 425DXN App
for Android. It is available on Google Play - free of charge, no ads. Enjoy!
KH1/KH7Z ---> The team arrived at Baker Island on 25 June around 18 UTC, and
at 8 UTC on 27 June operations started. Island conditions are extremely hot,
humid and difficult. "We did get 3 stations up and running last night one
day ahead of schedule", the team reported on 28 June. "At midnight giant
squalls came through knocking out one of our 3 antennas we worked so hard to
get up. We worked through the morning and have 6 stations available for the
scheduled startup tonight at 05:00 UTC". On 29 June all but one station were
deployed, and KH1/KH7Z was running up to 7 stations on all bands: "we are
now well over 10,000 QSOs, with great rates on CW, slightly slower rates on
SSB, and FT8 has been effective". As for the logsearch, lamentably the "BGAN
terminal system for log uploading refuses to link up with the bird. We have
two BGAN terminals on island and neither are correctly connecting to the
satellite. We will continue to work to sort this out, but right now we can't
upload logs". Bookmark http://kh7z.net/ for updates.
WRTC 2018 ACTIVITY PROGRAMME ---> Five awards will be available for contacts
made with the 63 competing stations in the World Radiosport Team
Championship (14-15 July). The callsigns will be announced on 12 July during
the opening ceremony.
- Worked All WRTC Stations (minimum one QSO with each WRTC station)
- WRTC Sprint (work all 63 WRTC stations as fast as possible)
- WRTC Most QSOs (work up to 630 QSOs with WRTC stations: 63 callsigns x 5
bands x 2 modes)
- WRTC 2018 Distance Challenge (the kilometers between you and the WRTC
stations will be summed up for all QSOs)
- Assistant Judge (special prizes will be drawn among all those who send in
their log until 18 UTC on 15 July)
See http://www.wrtc2018.de/index.php/en/activities/wrtc-2018-en for detailed
