Hi all
I have now been issued with the call 9H6YI for the contest. Fingers crossed we make it in the van, leaving UK on the 4th, lots can go wrong!! I plan taking 100w rig and verticals for all bands and backup dipoles for 40-20-10 for G. If we make it Ok ( D.V.) the setup will be on Southwest Gozo on a high spot site, with campervan and generator.
Good luck to all , especially the travellers !

Hi Bob,
I plan to be activating ZF2CA as normal. Fingers crossed I will be there in person, but if not then it will be remote as last year. I hear that Covid infections have only been a big nuisance there more recently than many other places; I am duly watching with bated breath the progress of the ZF1A teams in the ARRL DX contests…

Hello Bob,
I hope you are keeping well? I have booked to go to Uganda and will be on the air as 5X1XA in the Commonwealth Contest. I hope to work you and I hope there will be other brave/foolhardy travellers for us to work.

Hi all, I plan a campervan dxpedition to Gozo this year, with the kind assistance of Colin 9H4CT.
I hope to run a Field day type station from SW Gozo, travelling via Genoa/Palermo/Valetta ferries with all the gear and xyl. This is inspired by peter G3LET ‘s previous trips, if I can do as well I will be pleased ! cheers Mike G3VYI

Hi Bob,
Firstly thanks for all your efforts over the years publicising this contest, always my favourite and a good excuse to travel.
I am booked again to be active from Belize as V31GX this year (flights are booked) but in these very strange times, things may change last minute and prevent me.
There are many hoops to jump through in terms of vaccinations and tests etc but I am still hopeful if things do not change with US & Belize entry regulations.
Probably my last time in Belize, I am hoping by next year things may have calmed down as I have a more exotic destination planned for Beru 2023 if the borders have opened up once more.

Rumour has it that there might be operation remotely from ZF in BERU
this year.
More info later.

PS And there’s an idea how about some ‘remote Travellers’ ?

Hi Bob,
As an epilogue to the 2020 ZF2CA entry I was caught out by a logger error which I failed to spot before uploading, amid all the Covid woes with return travel and business disruption. The short story is that my final log included no HQ bonuses.
After now working line by line through the log and my UBN, my calculations are that I would have scored 7445 points and therefore 2nd in SOU. I did appeal but only after publication of the results, so it was rejected. Of course, the decision of the RSGB is final which I have accepted.
The good news is that I am now working with the DxLog team to pipe clean its BERU variant before next year, plus I actually understand the scoring system now!
See you all next year!
