JN51XX DXpedition

Ciao da Emilio,
parlando con IK0IXO mi ha informato che in occsione del Contest Sardegna il 23 Maggio p.v. sara' attivo da JN51XX.
Speriamo nella buona propagazione perche' trattasi di uno square alquanto raro il cui 99 percento e' costituito da acqua e solo una piccolissima striscia di terreno. Il call sara' probabilmente IK0IXO/0.
Ad Enrico facciamo un gran in "bocca al lupo" per la dx-pedition.

73 de IK0OKY, Emilio

Hi de Emil,

IK0IXO infromed me that in occasion of the SARDINIA CONTEST, which is due to be held on May 23rd, whit the call IK0IXO/0, he will activate on 6m only JN51XX a very rare square with only a small piece of land in it.
Hope in a good Es then.

HZ1AB NEWS

In un qso in 10m con hz1ab ho chiesto informazioni circa le possibili attivazioni in 6m dall'Arabia Saudita. L'operatore mi ha confermato di disporre di un FT920 nonche' di un lineare ma che e' ancora sprovvisto dell'antenna.
Mi ha riferito, tuttavia, che l'installera' nei prossimi 2-3 mesi.

Sergio, IK0FTA

Talking with HZ1AB about 6 meters, he told me that he own a FT920 and a linear but at the present time he does'nt have an antenna.
He said also that the antenna will be installed in 2-3 months.

PAKISTAN - JAPAN QSO's
REPORT FROM JA1VOK

Caro Sergio,

Sono stato molto fortunato a contattare Sergio, AP2WAP (IZ6BRN) su 50.110 CW alle 0816z del 2 Maggio come ho scrito sulla pagina degli Annunci dell'UKSMG in quel giorno e come lui stesso ti scrisse. Il tentativo e' stato fatto da Okinawa (PL36) come JA1VOK/6 dal 30 Aprile al 2 Maggio, ed è portato, come un risultato della prova, al primo collegamento tra JA eAP il 2 Maggio. Il segnale di Sergio era molto debole, ma ebbe un lieve miglioramento alle 0816z sufficiente per un contatto con RST529-519.
Poi anche JR6HI e JS6CDB sono riusciti a collegarlo con successo fino a che 0831z.

Il mio callsign è erroneamente riportato come JA6VOK/1 da Sergio a te, ma il callsign corretto e' JA1VOK/6. Lui copiò perfettamente il mio segnale ed era consapevole della mia prova. Infatti, lui stesso mi spedì una breve E-mail subito dopo il QSO.
Apprezzerei che tu correggessi il mio callsign nel rapporto di Sergio nel tuo bollettino "Six Italia".

Abbia una buona settimana,

Hatsuo, JA1VOK

Scusa per l'errore di battitura, ora e' tutto ok! Sergio, IK0FTA

Dear Sergio,

I was very lucky to contact with Sergio, AP2WAP(IZ6BRN) on 50.110 CW at 0816z on May 2 as I reported in Announcement of UKSMG on the day and as he reported to you. I tried from Okinawa (PL36) as JA1VOK/6 on April 30-May 2, and developed the first JA-AP propagation on May 2 as a result of the trial. Sergio's signal was so weak, but he was a little improved at 0816z for a successful contact with RST529-519.
Then JR6HI and JS6CDB were also successful until 0831z.

My callsign is errounously reported as JA6VOK/1 by Sergio to you, but the callsign should be corrected as JA1VOK/6 because he copied me correctly and was aware of my trial. In fact, he shortly later sent me the correct report by E-mail after the QSO.
I appreciate if you correct my callsign of Sergio's report in your "Six Italiano".

Have a good week,

Hatsuo, JA1VOK

Sorry for the mistake, now is all ok! Sergio, IK0FTA

ZS contest NEWS

Da uno scambio di corrispondenza con Ivo, ZS6AXT, ho scoperto che anche in Sud Africa vige la "finestra di interdizione contest". Anche i nostri amici ZS, infatti, non possono fare traffico, per i loro contest, al di sotto di 50.150 Mhz.

Sergio, IK0FTA

After an e-mail exchange with Ivo, ZS6AXT, I have discovered that also in ZS there is a "no contest zone" below 50.150 Mhz.
