Repost: KH7AL/KH9 – Wake Island, OC-053 DXpedition Update

Allen, KH7AL/KH9, has been actively operating from Wake Island, logging over 595 QSOs in one day of operation. Despite challenges like strong winds, bird interference, and setting up new equipment, he managed to make significant progress. This includes building a new DX Commander vertical antenna and planning a future CW operation on 12m.

Allen reports being able to continue operating using his dipoles and anticipates improved performance with the new Hexbeam antenna. He plans to devote the next week to CW operations, although he advises operators to go easy on him as he's still building his CW skills.

Recent and upcoming QRV times:

  • 2nd February ~ 20:00z, 10m SSB
  • 3rd February ~ 07:30z, 12m SSB
  • 17th February ~ 07:30z, 12m CW (QRS at 17wpm)
  • 17th February ~ 19:30z, 10m CW

Stay tuned for further updates as Allen continues his operations on Wake Island.
