8Q7JH

9月13日から15日の3連休は、地域の行事等もあったが比較的無線の時間を確保できた。
連休中も仕事に行く同じ時刻に起きて、5時半ごろからシャックに入って7時過ぎまで7, 10, 14, 18MHzを中心にワッチした。また、夕方は少し暗くなりかけた時間帯から夕食までの時間にも14, 18, 21, 24, 28MHzをワッチした。

朝の時間帯には、PJ7Kが18MHzで割と強く聞こえていた。3連休のおかげでPJ7KとはCW, SSBでQSOができた。Livestreamでリアルタイムの情報が見られるためか、DXクラスターには情報が上がらなかった。

夕方の時間帯には、ハイバンドで8Q7JHがCWでCQを繰り返しているが、呼ぶ局はそれほど多くない。
同じような時間帯に3B8のCWのCQも聞こえたが、これもあまり呼ぶ局がいない。
特別珍しい地域ではないが、それほど頻繁に電波が出ている地域でもない。

DXクラスター、FT8、インターネットによるライブストリームなど、新しいツールの登場でDXのやり方や流れがどんどん変わってきていることを感じる。

従来型のCW, SSBを中心にCQを繰り返すやり方ではなかなか見つけてもらえないのだろうか？

以下、DX Worldから抜粋
Juergen, DL3JH is again active from Thulhagiri island, North Male Atoll, Maldives as 8Q7JH. QRV on 40-20-15-10m; CW & SSB. He is there until September 20th. QSL via H/c, buro / direct.

E44OM

今朝の14MHzCWでE44OMとQSO。
最近のDXペディションはデジタルモードが中心になっている中で、CWでも運用が行われているのはうれしい。
DXペディションを呼ぶ大きなパイルアップもDXの醍醐味だが、整然とQSOが進まずあまりに効率が悪いとFT8の運用割合が増えるのかもしれない。
呼ぶ側の技量、マナーが問題なのは言うまでもないが、ペディションのオペレーターの技量もとても重要な要素だと感じた。
今朝のE44OMのオペレーターは上手かった。E44OMの信号は強くなかったし、結構たくさんのJAが呼んでいる中で、割と高速のCWで次々とヨーロッパの局に交じりながらJAの信号をピックアップしていた。

DX Worldの記事から抜粋。

The E44OM team safely arrived in Bethlehem and inform DX-WORLD their DXpedition will commence later today (local evening).

To begin with it will be a limited activity because unfortunately 4 out of 5 luggage bags are lost. They are hopeful of recovering them in the days ahead. The plan is to have two stations up and running this evening (local) using verticals and EFHW antennas. A Spiderbeam and LP5 will be raised tomorrow (September 14th).

The DXpedition will last until September 22nd. The ops are Michal OM2DX, Jan OM2IB, Rado OM2ZZ and Stevo OM3RG. They will be active on 160-6m, all modes. Also 6m EME; skeds for EME should be sent to om3rg.stevo@gmail.com

Further updates posted here on DX-World and the official E44OM Facebook page.

A productive first night saw the team active on 30 & 80m. The Spiderbeam antenna was assembled this morning. The missing luggage has also been found and should arrive at their QTH this evening. More bands / modes expected later. E44OM is running Livestream. Pictures courtesy of the team.
