[Now QRT] - 4W8X DXpedition - November 2023
Planned for 2020, but stopped out by COVID-19, the Lagunaria DX Group went to Timor-Leste in November 2023.
In April 2023, a 3-men scouting trip successfully worked 43.000+ QSOs as 4W1A from our prospected QTH.
They refreshed all contracts that we had originally made (and paid!) in 2020.
Key facts:
- 20 operators from Germany, Austria and Poland.
- Material was transported in a 20-foot seafreight container.
- Setup schedule: First pioneers on site: Sunday, 05-Nov-2023.
- On 07-Nov first signals on the air, only few hours per day.
- Sunday, 12-Nov-2023: team is complete, finish setup, start 24/7 shifts.
- CW, SSB, RTTY and FT4/FT8 - two signals per band at the same time.
