Are You Ready For Some DX? Have you done anything to increase your chances of working Bouvet 3Y0K, San Ambrosio 3G0XQ and Desecheo KP5/NP3VI the next couple months? You know, “station improvements”?
A little over 3 years ago I added a 30 Meter Vertical to increase my chances of working Bouvet 3Y0J. And I’m glad I did – I snagged them on that vertical a couple weeks later! I wrote about it here: 3Y0J Is On The Air!
By adding a small 3 element 12 Meter monobander the last couple days I won’t have to turn my 17 Meter monobander around and try to work off the back reflector on 12 Meters now. The 3 element monobander gives me a fighting chance. It sure helped the last couple days the weather in Denver was dry with temperatures over 60° F, and no wind – absolutely perfect antenna weather!
Anyway, we’re ready to bust some good old fashioned SSB and CW pile-ups on 160 through 10 Meters these days, bring on the DX!
See you in the REAL Ham Radio CW & SSB pileups!
