432 QSL cards on their way
QSL cards delivered by Tony LZ1JZ in a nice quality and good colours.
Printed with the help of my UcxLog program and HP 2055 laserprinter and all signed by me.
January 22 I am visitting EDR HQ in Odense and then the cards are on the way to the 432 Radio Operators around the world.
It has been another nice trip to Greenland and I will go there again when propagations tells me to.
30. October 2019
My next adventure goes to Kangerlussuaq in Greenland
The flight is booked and I will stay at the Kangerlussuaq Youth Hostel. I look forward to meet Holger OX3HI and to find out which antennas I can put up in the tower.
I have had 5 good trips to Greenland back in 2012/2013 and with very good results in the contests.
Also I have many verified QSO's including Paper-cards, LoTW verifications and eQSL verifications. Look at the litle painting I've made with some figures which tells the distribution of the various forms of QSL's received. [LoTW is very popular]
For OQRS ClubLog: XP2I

[QSL made by Tony LZ1JZ] --[10. october 2013]-- Yet another 2 pounds of QSL-cards have been shipped via Buro today. --[2 September 2013]-- Now I have planned activity from Kangerlussuaq November 21-24, 2013. The days before Contest I will be active mostly on the WARC bands with CW only. November 23-24, I participate in The 2013 CQ World-Wide DX Contest using my Ten Tec 599 100W transceiver.

Video-1 I used Jespers radioequipment and so everything was new for me. Also the huge Pile-Up. Video-2 One hour later I was working in Split mode and that was a little better. Still Pile-Up. --[Dezember 2012 ]-- So far, my "November-trip 2012" was my last travel to Kangerlussuaq. Again I have to thank OX3KQ Jesper for his great help. Without him it wouldn't be possible. On my 4 trips I totally made 5869 QSO's with 4285 different Amateur Radio Stations in 113 different countries around the world. I participated in 3 different Contests in three different categories. In the CQ WPX I even managed to make a World-record in 20M Low Power category. When looking in my log I can see that more stations have contacted me on several bands and the two most active was SP7HOV and S57MPU with contacts on 6 different bands. 5 bands contacts I had with DL6KVA, F6GCP, HB9AVE, HG7T, K3RA, N4NO, N5AW, OK2PAY, PAØABM, RG5A, S58N, SP6RT, UA4CR and VE9DX. HG7T has 9 contacts. RG5A has 8 contacts. DG7EE, N4NO and VE9DX each have 7 contacts. Stations with 6 contacts is DL5ML, DL6ATM, DL6KVA, EW8EW, HB9ALO, N5AW, RT9A, RW3XW, S57MPU, SP7HOV and UR3GU. Look at the statistic for 2012 here:
OZ-stations:

We plan to participate as Multi/Single and aim to get really busy. I will be in Greenland from 13 to 18 September and expect to be quite active as XP2i with my Ten-Tec. How much time is left is still uncertain as we must also have equipment fitted to the SAC test. But of course there will be an opportunity to test the conditions on the various bands. More information as time approaches.  TIL TOP

- The Radio license Cat:A is received - The call signal is XP2I - Accommodation and catering are in place [09.02.2012] - Now the time of departure is approaching. I have collected warm clothes and made a to-do list of the gear I need to include on the trip. Fortunately, I do not need antennas and power supplies to keep the weight down to approx. 10Kg. Then there is also room for some clothes ;o) I hope to be active on the low bands - especially 160 meters and 80-40-30-17 meters. I will announce the frequencies and times here on the site if I get internet connection. The low bands should be good for the EU from about 18 UTC and to NA a few hours later. Foreløbig plan for aktivitet er: 24. februar Kl. 20 - 23 UTC 25. februar Kl. 15 - ?? UTC 27. februar Kl. 15 - ?? UTC | ||||||
[11.01.2012] - My class-A license has just arrived and was waited with excitement. I started with the preparations back in November 2011, exploring the possibilities of broadcasting permits and what travel companies had trips to Greenland. I will be active from Kangerlussuaq (Sdr. Strømfjord) at the end of February. It is probably the world's smallest DXpedition as the participants consist only of my son (not radio amateur) and myself. I will try to be as active as possible when there are no excursions or other tourist activities. My plans are: > Activity 24. - 27. februar 2012 > Time around 15-03 UTC > QRV on HF bands 160 - 10 meter if possible > Mode is 100% CW > Station is my Ten-Tec Eagle 599 I am in contact with Jesper/OX3KQ who invited me to use the clubhouse on Black Ridge where there are antennas and other equipment - if you want more information about the place you can read here. Those were the plans - then we have to see how it is implemented in reality. I have started to find warm clothes and practical shoes.  TIL TOP |
