PLANS

Dear DXers!
We are pleased to announce our upcoming DXpedition to Republic of Burundi, Сentral Africa. Team of 9 operators from four countries will be QRV with at least 7 high-power stations 24/7 on all HF bands during 20 days. Our goal is to work as many stations as possible, paying attention to distant regions and low-pistols. We have found a good location with a clear take-off to all most common directions. 

DXpedition schedule

How to work us on FT8

We will run FT8 on special frequencies from the beginning of our activity. Please use the DX cluster to find out where we are. However later we can move to the usual FT8 sub-bands if number of callers will decrease greatly.  MSHV software will be in use on this side (not SuperFox).

LOG&QSL

LOG & QSL info

We will upload our QSOs to ClubLog at least twice a day. You can check your CFM using the form below or directly on ClubLog web-site. We will use "DXpedition Mode", so you can see all the statistics, best time to work us from your region, etc.

If you are not in the log, the best way is to try to work us again. All missed QSOs/busted callsigns, etc emails must go to: rv6ali@yandex.ru and they will be processed only after the dxpedition!

Check your QSOs on ClubLog.
 

You can use OQRS to request QSL-card. Direct OQRS will give you fast LoTW CFM when we get back from the DXpedition. We expect this to be 3-4 days after we QRT.

For those who provided support before and during the expedition, a card will be sent to their home address automatically

Bureau QSL-card request is free of charge

​​

Российским радиолюбителям для получения QSL на домашний адрес необходимо сделать перевод на карту в размере 150р. В комментарии к платежу, пожалуйста, не забывайте указывать свой позывной и позывной экспедиции, например: "QSL для RW5C за 9X1RU". Для получения QSL через бюро настоятельно рекомендуем пользоваться ClubLog OQRS. Ваша QSL не требуется.

Тем, кто оказал поддержку до и во время экспедиции, карточка будет выслана на домашний адрес автоматически.

CONTACTS

Contacts

During the DX-pedition, any direct contacts with team members most likely will not be possible. For that reason we have decided to work with the pilots. We will communicate with our pilots daily to get most important questions and information.
