A wonderful documentary! The expedition was an absolute success. Thousands of hams were happy to get a rare one into their logs. Let's hope the trend continues. 73 HC2AO
Outstanding video. Really makes one appreciate the effort, time, cost, & personal sacrifice required so that someone like me can log an ATNO....great job, 73, Leo
Radio amateurs go to rare and remote areas in the World as far as radio operating is concerned. Usually nobody or no amateurs live there. It puts the island or part of the World into the log books of the amateurs who contact the amateurs who go to that place. Bill, G4GHB.
All very well but the QRP operators get no look in. They don't exist to these DXpedition stations because they constantly get drowned out by those using high power and yagi aerials. There's no point trying. QRP works when not competing with a 100 Watt station, I'm already 2 S units down, then say one running 1 kW, and add in a beam aerial. No chance for me. They never announce they are listening for QRP stations but high power stations would probably lie just to get a contact. I once worked OY, not thousands of miles away but a bit rare. All through people were dropping their callsigns in but he didn't seem bothered so we had a CONVERSATION for ten minutes after which he disappeared with people still calling him. They must get fed up with ur 59 QSL, next caller. I'd get fed up with that. I want to know their name, QTH, power, radio used, aerials. It's why I don't do contests. Bill, G4GHB.
