The team will be back in Luxembourg to operate LX8M during the CQ WW DX SSB contest, 28-29 October, 2023. The team is composed of LX1ER, ON2PSA, ON4BW, ON4EM, ON7IO, ON7ZB and ON4EI.
We will build a temporary antenna park and shack. It will take us 5 days to be ready for Multi Single Low Power operation. This year we improved the setup with an In-Band station and antenna, as well as new Beverage On Ground. The RUN station will be a K4D Elecraft also using the In-band antenna for Diversity receive mode.
Two K3S Elecraft will be used for In-Band and Multi station.
Antenna setup will be:
- 2x Spiderbeam, Vertical 40m, Vertical 80m, Inverted L 160m, Inverted V 40m, Inverted V 80m
- RX: K9AY, Kelemen 4 Band Wire ground plane as In-band, 1x Beverage On Ground
To get an idea, see the video of last year’s expedition where we scored 3rd Europe and 7th World.
