DJ9RB details several antenna projects, including loaded dipoles and verticals specifically for the 160m, 80m, and 40m amateur radio bands. Featured designs include a 160m loaded dipole with end capacitance, a 160m loaded L-antenna, and a 160m kite-supported vertical. For 80m, the resource describes a short broadband dipole (80BBDP), an 8m high top-loaded vertical (TLV80) with elevated radials, and a shielded loop for 3.5 MHz. For the 40m band, a 7m high top-loaded vertical (TLV40) and a 6m high portable top-loaded GP (TLV40mesh) are presented, both optimized for 7 MHz. Additional dipole designs cover 40m, 30m, 20m, 17m, and 6m bands, utilizing coaxial cable traps. The page also mentions specific vertical antenna variants like the TLV20 (GP14MHz) with two radials and the TLV30HWL-10MHz, a loaded half-wavelength vertical. The content includes information on high-power homemade components, such as a 3.5 MHz AM transmitter from 1964 and a 14 MHz portable transceiver from 1977. It also touches upon measurement instruments, BNC connector assembly, and QTH details from DJ9RB's operations, including H44/DJ9RB from the Solomon Islands. -

Demonstrates the design and construction of a compact, portable multi-band mini-delta loop antenna, specifically optimized for /P (portable) operations from remote locations like Scottish islands. The resource covers the theoretical underpinnings of half-wave loops, contrasting closed and open configurations, and then details the application of a folded dipole principle to achieve a 50-ohm match for direct coax feed. It presents empirical formulas for calculating element lengths, considering the velocity factor of common wire types, and provides a detailed example for a 20m (14.175 MHz) version. The article includes a comprehensive table of dimensions and allowances for a five-band (20m, 17m, 15m, 12m, 10m) mini-delta beam, along with construction hints for the central support and balun. It specifies a 1:1 trifilar balun wound on a ferrite rod and describes the antenna adjustment process using an _MFJ-259B Antenna Analyser_. Initial test results indicate an SWR of 1:1 at resonance and a bandwidth of approximately 240 kHz on 20m, even at a low height of five feet above ground. The distinctive utility lies in its focus on a practical, easily deployable beam antenna for portable DXing, offering a viable alternative to more complex or larger arrays. -
The 9A3MR contest QTH rental provides a fully equipped amateur radio station for DXpeditions or radio holidays on Murter Island, Croatia. The station features a Drake TR7 transceiver and a 16-meter tower with a rotator, suitable for various HF operations. Accommodations include a four-room apartment and a studio apartment, both within 200 meters of the beach, offering amenities like parking and a barbeque area. This QTH is located in Jezera, a fishing village with local stores and restaurants within a five-minute walk. While Murter Island itself does not qualify for IOTA due to a bridge connection, the Kornati Islands National Park (IOTA EU-170) is only 10 nautical miles away, with daily tourist tours available. The Krka National Park is also accessible by car, approximately 25 km distant, providing additional recreational opportunities. -

The **United States Islands (USI) Awards Program** is an amateur radio operating activity centered on activating and chasing islands located within the fifty states of the United States, its territories, and protectorates. These islands encompass coastal shores, lakes, rivers, ponds, and streams, offering a diverse range of operating environments. The program provides numerous achievement awards for both island activators and island chasers, encouraging portable operations and mini-DXpeditions. Participants engage in year-round activities, including the **One-Day-Getaway (1DG)**, a casual portable operation held on the second Saturday of May, and the U.S. Islands QSO Party (IQP), a 15-hour contest occurring on the last full weekend of August. USI encourages hams to discover and operate from islands in their local areas, providing an alternative to traditional Field Day operations for outdoor radio enjoyment. The program supports various operating styles, including portable, walk-on, paddle-to, motor-to, mobile, and drive-on activations. Recent activities include AC1RH activating MA064R Eagle Island daily, aiming for over 100 activations using 600 watts, and KD9ZAB and KD5YZY qualifying MO021R Tower Rock, which is also a POTA US-10147 location. The USI program maintains a clear distinction from the Islands On The Air (IOTA) awards program. -

The resource provides specific information regarding amateur radio operations from various French islands, focusing on geographical and visual data. It includes photographic documentation of locations and detailed maps, which are crucial for operators planning DXpeditions or seeking to understand the unique challenges and opportunities presented by island activations. The content aims to support enthusiasts interested in rare grid squares and IOTA (Islands On The Air) awards. While currently under maintenance, the site's stated future enhancements include QSL card examples, which would offer practical insights into confirmation processes for these specific entities. The emphasis on French islands distinguishes it from more general DX resources, providing a concentrated body of information for a niche but active segment of the amateur radio community, particularly those pursuing island-specific operating awards. -

The Guernsey Amateur Radio Society (GARS) provides a central hub for amateur radio operators in the Bailiwick of Guernsey, offering resources like a local _GU Callbook_ and specific notes tailored for visiting operators. The society maintains an active presence, holding regular meetings on Friday evenings from 7:30 to 9:00 PM in a unique World War II bunker located within the grounds of the Beau Sejour Leisure Centre. Beyond in-person gatherings, GARS facilitates on-air activity with a 2-meter net operating on 145.525 MHz every Tuesday night at 8:00 PM. Additionally, a DMR net is hosted on Thursday nights at 8:00 PM via the _GB7GY_ repeater, catering to digital mode enthusiasts. These nets provide opportunities for local members and visitors to connect and exchange information. Phil Cooper, GU0SUP, serves as a key contact for the society, managing inquiries and web content. The club's location is precisely described as being down a concrete staircase to the left of the road when approaching the Concourse entrance, making it straightforward for newcomers to find their way to the club's distinctive meeting place. -

The EA8ALP personal page, hosted on QSL.net, is currently inaccessible, presenting a 404 "Page Cannot Be Found" error. This resource was intended to feature Adelto, an amateur radio operator from the Canary Islands, likely detailing his station, operating activities, or other personal ham radio interests. The QSL.net platform, which hosts over 30,000 amateur radio websites, provides free web and email services to operators and organizations, relying on donations for support. While the specific content of EA8ALP's page is unavailable, the platform's structure suggests it would typically include information relevant to **DXing** and **contesting**, common interests for operators in geographically desirable locations like the Canary Islands. Users encountering this error are advised to contact the website owner directly or use an internet search to locate the intended content, as QSL.net cannot assist with individual site content issues. -

Operating as FY/F5UII, Christian F5UII conducted a DXpedition to French Guiana (FY) from January 13 to 30, 2013. The primary operation utilized the FY5KE radio club station in Kourou, with activity focused on voice modes during specific weekday hours. The resource details the operator's intent to transmit before 12:00z and after 22:00z, or as availability permitted, from the mainland. A significant aspect of this operation involved a dedicated weekend activation of the Salut Islands, specifically **IOTA SA-020**, from January 19-20, 2013. This segment of the DXpedition was conducted from Royal Island (Ile Royale), part of a group including Devil's Island (Ile du Diable) and St. Joseph Island (Ile Saint Joseph), located 14 km offshore from Kourou. The station setup for the IOTA activation included 100 Watts of power, a GPA-030 vertical antenna for 10m, 15m, and 20m, and dipole antennas for 17m and 40m, with antenna deployment contingent on site conditions and propagation. The operator anticipated strong interest for the SA-020 entity. -
