Time for a new Holiday DX expedition to Vietnam.
I will be QRV from same location (even the same bungalow) as in 2013 between 22nd (perhaps even 21st) November and 6th of December.
Based on my experience from the 2013 activity I have made some changes in the setup.
The plan is to have the following equipment and antennas:
Kenwood TS 590S
SPE Expert 1.3 K-FA Amplifier
10 meters: 3 element VDA (Vertical Dipole Array) on 12 meter Spiderbeam mast
12 meters: 3 element VDA (Vertical Dipole Array) on 12 meter Spiderbeam mast
15 meters: 3 element VDA (Vertical Dipole Array) on 12 meter Spiderbeam mast
17meters: 3 element VDA (Vertical Dipole Array) on 12 meter Spiderbeam mast
20 meters: 3 element VDA (Vertical Dipole Array) on 12 meter Spiderbeam mast
30 meters: 1/4-wave vertical with 3 resonant elevated radials on 12 meter Spiderbeam mast
40 meters: 1/4-wave vertical with 3 resonant elevated radials on 12 meter Spiderbeam mast
80 meters: 1/2-dipole, unfortunately maximum 10 meters high
I only have 4 spiderbeam masts, which means that only 4 simultaneous bands between 10-40 meters can be operated. Before and after CQWW CW Contest, I will make priority to WARC bands.
In CQWW, the plan in to work SOAB, but could also decide for a single band (40, 20 or 15 meters likely).
LOTW will be uploaded regularly during the operation. Only Direct QSL cards this time. No buro - Sorry!
Hope to see you suring my holiday expedition!
