AFRI75 - IRTS 75th Jubilee DXpedition 2007

See Latest News, updated as of Sunday 17 June 2007.

As part of the celebrations to mark the 75th Anniversary of the founding of the Irish Radio Transmitters Society, a number of members of the Society will activate Swaziland, 3DA0, from 16th to 25th March 2007. 17th March is St. Patrick's Day, the Irish national holiday, and the expedition will be especially active on many modes and bands on that day. The group will also take part in the CQ WPX SSB contest on 24th and 25th March, using the call sign 3DA0EI.

Given that 3DA0 is still much sought after on the WARC bands, on digital modes and on the LF bands, prior to the contest, the expedition will concentrate on these areas of operation.

It is also intended that there will be some EME activity on 2 metres, and, perhaps, some 6 metre operation time permitting. The aim of the group is not so much to rack up tens of thousands of contacts but rather to provide an opportunity for operators to work Swaziland on one of the more unusual bands or modes. We will take time to work the less experienced Dxers and to pull in the weak signal stations. So if you can hear us, please give us a call.

Members of the expedition are:
