Een veilige reis en veel succes gewenst voor het ganse team. Eindelijk is het bijna zover! De laatste loodjes werden vandaag gelegd na toch wel een pittige periode achter de schermen het afgelopen 1,5 jaar. “Doorzetting” en “niet opgeven” dat was waar het om draaide en het is gelukt. Jullie verdienen een dikke pluim! Nu is het enkel nog volop genieten van wat gaat komen.

Hello, Damn exciting to see your guys soon on the air. Can you give us a special time for South Asian countries? Many in India, like me, have not yet worked on VU4 Andaman stations. We don’t want to hold you guys up!

73′ VU3HZW Ahmed

DX-Adventure team: Dear Ahmed, please let our Asia Pilot Champ E21EIC know when you hear our signals very well. We have daily meetings with our pilots who provide us with very important information. We wish you good luck and hope to work you from Andaman Island.

Alle succes ginder mannen!

Hi, Beautiful Web page! Hope to see y’all on all the bands. Have a safe adventure, wish I was going.

Best 73’s to all, KT3T Paul

Hello, I am looking forward to your fabulous DX-pedition and get contact with you.

All the best to you 73′ JA1CPB Mick

Dear friends, I wish you good luck and have a great time. I look forward to meet you on the bands in CW.

Vy 73′ DL9GG Torsten

Dear radio friends, I am now 91 years old and have given up our wonderful hobby. I was in Mali TZ-Land in October 1985 and used TZ6FE | TZ6WC and TZ6FS for a pile up in CW. Long time ago. Have fun on this great trip.

Good luck, ex DL4BC – Conny

Hello, Good luck for you Andaman Island DX-Pedition.

73′ F6IFJ Jean-Michel

Good evening, I read with great interest about your adventure, which I was intrigued by. I certainly don’t want to miss a QSO with VU4AX.

73′ IZ3DRN Renato, Italy

Hello, Congratulations on your DX-pedition and I wish you success! I will send information to the pilots as I hear VU4AX.

73′ Gil, 4F2KWT

Hello DX’ers,

I have not communicated with any Andaman Island stations. Activities on 160 Mtr would be valuable there. I have communitated with many stations in South-East Asia on popular DX bands, but no communication with Andaman Islands (I do only CW).

The very best of luck to you, 73′ JH0UTC Hiroyuki

Hi, CU on the band!

73, YB3SZM Anang

Good luck guys!

73′ ON3JOZ Frederik

Hallo DX Adventure Team, Vielen Dank für die tolle Info. Ich bin sehr darauf gespannt ob ich ein QSO mit VU4AX machen kann.

Beste 73 und gd DX vom Oliver, DH5PK.

Heel veel succes mannen!

73′ ON5DZ Kurt

Hi, How you decided to go… ?  The islands are full of hungry man-eaters! Nevertheless – Good luck!

Will try to make a QSO, 73′ UA1OSM Sergey

Hi, Please consider to -at least in spare time- work on QO-100 satellite. It would be very fine, TNX.

See you at the pileups! Good luck and 73′ Sanyi HA7VK

Hello DX Team. All the best on your DX-pedition to this special place. The website looks super!

Best 73. N2WB “Wild Bill” William | DX Rules !

Hello, If you are are able to be QRV on 6m, you would make many radio amateurs very happy. For 6 Mtr, you don’t really need a very large antenna. I recommend a 4 element yagi, this is sufficient. I would really appreciate your consideration.

73′ JA9SJI Mitsuru.

DX-Adventure team: We are doing our best to obtain a 50 MHz licence. Currently, we do not yet have a response from the Ministry of Communications. But keep an eye on our news page

Hi guys, Please take some 6m antenna with you. Many EUs like to work you on 6m band.

Best regards, 73′ 9A5CW Patrick

DX-Adventure team: We are doing our best to obtain a 50 MHz licence. Currently, we do not yet have a response from the Ministry of Communications. But keep an eye on our news page

Hi, Thanks for prepping for a DX-pedition to Andaman. I need this entity for an all time new one. I don’t really care which band or mode I work first, but would like to get as many bands as possible before you go QRT. I definitely would like to work you on CW and FT8!

Good luck on the DX-pedition! 73′, Ron N0SL.

Hi, I need VU4AX for ATNO any band, W4VKU has activated VU4 many times & says there is severe electronic noise from the LED street lights, the further away you can locate the antennas from the noise source the better, you can contact Krish – W4VKU at his QRZ email address. I hope you will be using BEAM ANTENNAS as I am a low power station.

Good luck, 73′ Dan WG5G.

Hi Team, I am happy and excited that you go to VU4, maybe the year after to VU7. Haha… It is a pitty that the Vote is restricted to the Band because I am a OLD SCHOOL OM, so I need you on 160 CW. Dont do any Roboter | PC Mode sorry. Hope there will be some time from you for Top Band CW.

73 and CU, DL4FAY Tommy.

Hi, Please add 6 meters to your VU4AX plans !

73′ Good DX Steve HA0DU.

Hi, VU4AX would be an “All Time New One” for me. It will put on the ARRL DX Honor roll as # 331. Please make an effort to give us ATNO hams a fair shot. Of course CW will be the best chance I will have. I only use 100 watts to dipole antennas , but I have worked the N5J station 3 times on CW! Also , I have worked stations farther away than you will be. So , PLEASE , PLEASE could you guys make calls for us ATNO on CW ?? Not new band , not new mode , just an all time new DX country !

Thank you for this chance, 73′ Gary W0BF.

Hi, Great website design, hope to work you on Top Band, the last band needed!

73′ es gd luck, Jo OE6VIE.

Hi, Most wanted band 6m, which was impossible to vote on. 6m EME preferred!

73′ SM7FJE Bo.

DX-Adventure team: Dear Bo, currently 50 MHz is only allowed in FM with max 25 watts. Therefore, we understand very well that the demand for 6 meters is very high. We have made an official request to the Ministry of Communications to get an exception to experiment. We hope to receive an answer to that soon and more clarity on this situation. We hope for good news.

Looking forward to the VU4AX adventure. Please make big efforts on CW and/or SSB, not just FT8. Will it be ocean side location? This seems necessary for good results on low bands, which I need!

Thanks and Good Luck! 73′ Mike.

DX-Adventure team: Dear Mike, our location is on the west side of South Andaman island, right on the ocean. Our low band antenna are located on the beach. Our team has very good SSB | CW operators, so it will definitely not be only FT8. We are also trying to focus on North America, because we realize very well that this will be a big challenge.

I wish you a safe trip to the Andaman Islands. Enjoy beautiful sea and DX-ing. I hope to work you on 6m hopefuly.

Ken JN7FAH

I wish the entire team a safe journey, many good connections and a safe return home. We are QRV on TM0BSM in August. This is not that difficult!

DJ5KX Stefan

Looking forward to work all of you from that special QTH. My best wishes for all the team. Good luck !

DX-Adventure team: Ibrahim thanks a million for your support in our QO-100 DX-pedition.

Dear members, I appreciate your hard work making this project possible. I wish you good weather condition in April. I believe this DX-pedition will invite many young radio amateurs to satellites, higher frequencies and worldwide communications.

Best regards from outside QO-100 footprint.

Mikio JA3GEP

Will be listening, hope to get a new one in april 😉 3deg elevation should be easy. Brazil station works the bird at 0 degrees daily, so you will most likely do very good, Prepare to manage a HUGE pileup ! Best of luck and see you on the bird.

73′ OY1R Regin

I wish you all an excellent preparation for this DX-pedition and a beautiful journey to the pole ! I look forward to working you guys.

73′ Dirk ON7DS

Good Luck, with the first DX-pedition ever via QO-100 from Svalbard. Really looking forward working you guys!

73′ Alex ON6AJ

Good luck guys ! Hope to work you !

73′ ON6ZK Hans

Aan het gehele team veel succes en blijf vooral gezond! En ik hoop jullie natuurlijk te werken als nieuw DXCC op QO-100.

Groet, Rien PA7RA

Dear team, I wish you good luck and look forward to work you on QO-100.

Furthermore I hope that you will be able to make contact with DP0GVN, which is now active again as the antenna system was replaced.
That you and the team down there could make a very unique QSO from the very North to the very South.

Kind regards, Matthias DD1US

DX-Adventure team: Matthias, thank you for your contribution to the QO-100 DXpedition. We are in contact with Felix DP1POL and Karsten DP0GVN in Antarctica. We will definitely make a sked with Karsten and hope to make a QSO with the German base “Neumayer Station III” in Antarctica.

Dear Max, I am happy to be able to contribute a small part to a hopefully successful expedition.

73′ de Yvo HB0AA

De onzekerheid van slagen maakt de expeditie juist zo bijzonder. En je weet het pas als je het hebt geprobeerd. Jullie zoeken de randjes op, en dat getuigt mijn inziens van HAM-spirit. Ik zal niet in het logboek komen, omdat ik geen antennes meer op het dak heb (en voorlopig ook niet nodig vind). Ik beperk me tegenwoordig tot mini-activeringen, meestal vuurtorens (zie Lighthouse tour website). Van heel andere orde natuurlijk, maar ik heb er plezier van. Ik hoop dat jullie het lukt en dat het anderen inspireert om ook eens de veiligheid van de radioshack te verlaten!

Veel succes, 73′ Maus PA3HTT

Hello Guys, I will watching you. JW still needed in several Bands and Modes. Enjoy your trip!

Very happy to see this expedition happening and the team taking the challenge to get QO-100 workable from JW ! Best of luck ! I have been operating as JW0FA from Longyearbyen myself, but that’s before QO-100… hi.

Have a nice day es 73′ de LA0FA Matthias

We all know that “JW” on HF is not at the top of ‘The most wanted DX list’ but it is always a unique experience. Also the first team meeting showed the competence & motivation of each of the team members. Therefore I am looking forward to participating in this DX-pedition. Thanks to Max and Erik for inviting me!

Do you plan to activate Bear Island as part of this DX-pedition?

73′ WX2S Steve

DX-Adventure team: Hi Steve, traveling to Bear Island is not that simple. Therefore, it will not be part of the JW0X 2022 DX-pedition.

Best of luck for your adventure, and wishes of good contacts. Hope I can work you via QO-100.

Happy New Year and 73′ CT7AOV Hugo

I wish you best of luck for your Dx-pedition. Look forward to work you via QO-100 satellite.

HNY 73′ CT1EAT | M0HOJ Costa

Heel veel succes gewenst aan het hele team ! Een prachtige ‘challenge’ om deze noordelijke archipel in verschillende modes te runnen. Jullie zullen waarschijnlijk de pioniers zijn om het QO-100 gebeuren vanaf deze locatie te activeren. Een unieke kans ! Ik kijk er al naar uit, net zoals vele anderen, om jullie op verschillende banden en modes in mijn log vast te leggen.

73′ ON5AR Ann

Ik wens jullie allemaal zeer veel succes met deze mooie uitdaging. Ook veel succes gewenst aan Cedric, Max en Patrick met de poging om de QO-100 satelliet te activeren vanuit Svalbard.
