Up Two, G3SXW
Most of the literature for radio amateurs is of a technical-informational nature. „Up Two“ s podtitulom Adventures of a DXpeditioner Rogera Westerna G3SXW is, it isn't either, another. But certainly interesting.
The sequence of chapters already creates an intriguing contrast. By grouping them by continent, the reader is drawn into a comparison of countries and the amateur radio period. For example, the operation of YA1R from Afghanistan in years 1970 – 1973 is different from the ZC4SXW contest event from Cyprus in 1992.
Roger peppered the book with interesting details - once planning the trip, other times by a strategy in a contest or a decision, whether PA or antennas belong in the luggage. Potential travelers will certainly absorb information about handling the concession, transport and hotel selection. A separate chapter is devoted to failures.
Up Two is short 240 pages of interesting reading from a great personality of the radio amateur world. Covers thirty years of active DX and contest activity. It is written in understandable English and is definitely worth reading. Preview of the first chapter Afghanistan YA1R you can download and read.
