V3 – Belize: Robin K4VU and Lori K0LAA will be the guests of this small Central American country (with 215,000 inhabitants) from April 7 to 24. They will broadcast from 160 to 6m CW, SSB and RTTY. QSL via K4VU.
7Q – Malawi: is also not very well known. This former British colony is among the poorest countries in the world. Currently, more than ten million inhabitants survive only thanks to the support of foreign foundations. Even so, their average lifespan is only 46 years. Mark G4AXX, Dick GU4CHY, Steve G4JVG and Rich M5RIC will not only broadcast from Malawi, but will also try to do their bit to help the Malawian healthcare system. If you can, please help too. As for broadcasting, from April 18th to May 1st, they will be working on a previously unknown brand from 80 to 10m CW, SSB, RTTY and PSK with three stations complete with terminal stages and directional antennas. Activity at 6m is also expected. QSL via G3LQP direct (Roger Brown, 262 Fir Tree Road, Epsom, KT17 3NL, ENGLAND) or via bureau.
3B9 – Rodriguez island: six kilometers to the east of the capital of Mauritius, Port Louis, lies a small volcanic island in the Indian Ocean, which administratively falls under this republic - the island of Rodrigues. Expedition 3B9C is already winning on various bands, but from March 31 for three days, thanks to Dave W2RR and G0MRF QRV, it will also be on 70 cm CW and JT65. On CW they will broadcast in a standard 2.5-minute period on 432.050 MHz (RX 432.060 MHz skedy, 432.055 MHz random), on JT65 in the first period simplex on 432.050 MHz. Possible windows are March 31 between 13.30 and 21 UTC, April 1 between 12 and 22 UTC and finally April 2 between 12.30 and 23.00 UTC.
Sked with 3B9C can be arranged at deserving@3b9c.com. Enter the desired date, 30-minute period and mode. The equipment includes 4×19 el.yagi, so prefer JT65 over CW. Our QRA is MH10. Since we will not be able to detect the doppler shift at random QSO, it's up to you to get your signal into our receiving window. Much success!
