ZD9X, Tristan da Cunha, June to end of 2008 |

 Hello all,
I will be departing St. Helena island in late June & travel to my next DX location of Tristan da Cunha island. My callsign on Tristan will be ZD9X. The Tristan will last 4 - 6 months, maybe longer. A home has been secured for myself with a backyard measuring one acre. Plenty of room for antennas as ZD7X.
Operating from St. Helena has been rather fun. I will be excited
for a new DX location after all is said & done though. Full story
to come out someday!!!
With almost 35,000 QSO's now, the radio
& vertical antenna have been doing a good job. I DO NOT want to
have to break out the spare radios of a Kenwood TS-2000 & a Yaesu
100D if something should go wrong with my main "good" radio.
Once
on Tristan, my plan is to explore a way of getting to Bouvet island
& to operate from there before a TENATIVE operation to the three
islands of South Sanswich, South Orkney & South Georgia via the
Falkland islands.
According to the 100 Most Needed List, (2006)
Bouvet is ranked at 8th in the world. It would be a crying shame to be
less than 1400 miles from Bouvet and not to give a 100% effort to try
to put Bouvet on the air. Bouvet is located nearest to Tristan than any
other island.
Still no plans of any RTTY/PSK activity as either
ZD7X or ZD9X. My MicroHam unit that should allow Digi operation has not
worked since I got here. Personal interest the Digi modes is also not
that great.
Good DX,
Tom ZD7X
