Episode 36 - FT4GL - Glorioso Island The DX Mentor
-
- Tecnología
This is The DX Mentor podcast. I hope to help those hams trying to move up the DXCC ladder as well as those that at on the DXCC Honor Roll. As fast as technology is moving, no one can keep up on it all. I am here to help. #DX #Hamradio
We are pleased to announce to the international community, with the agreement of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, an upcoming amateur radio activity will take place from May 24 to June 19, 2024 on the island of Grande Glorieuse – callsign FT4GL.
This operation, planned for more than a year with a lot of effort, has finally been rewarded. It will be atypical and difficult because the Glorieuses are ranked 7th in the DXCC Most Wanted List, and the amateur radio traffic will be carried out exclusively by a single radio amateur, Marek FH4VVK in parallel with his professional duties.
David, F8CRS, one of the support team, is our guest. The following are the questions and topics we will discuss:
Intros
How did you get in to Ham Radio?
How did you get interested in DX?
How did you decide to BE the exotic DX?
What other trips have you been on?
Tell us about Marek, FH4VVK
How Glorioso Chosen?
Describe the overall DXpedition (operators, days, equipment)
What are your expectations? (What criteria will you use to consider this a success?)
How can folks provide financial support?
