TY0RU Benin DX Pedition

The TY0RU DXpedition to Benin in 2022 achieved over 100,000 QSOs from Cotonou, IOTA AF-051, operating across 160m through 6m bands using CW, SSB, and FT8 modes. The operation involved a team of 12 operators, including F5RAV, F4WBN, and F1TCV, utilizing multiple stations with transceivers like the Icom IC-7300 and IC-7610, paired with amplifiers and various antennas such as verticals, dipoles, and a 4-square array for 40m.

The expedition's log is available on Club Log, supporting OQRS for both direct and bureau QSLs, with F5RAV serving as the QSL manager. The site details the team's travel, setup, and operational challenges, including local conditions and equipment deployment, offering insights into the logistical complexities of activating a rare DXCC entity.
