Vladimir OK2WX starts his latest DXpedition to Socotra Island, Yemen on January 25. An announcement is up on DXNews.com. This amateur is very experienced but this site which is approximately 500 kilometers from the Yemenese shoreline seems a little foolhardy. With USAF FA-18s and Houthi missiles flying overhead, his Elecraft and ICOM rigs will be buzzing. But that’s only my humble opinion.
Perhaps it’s the whiskey; perhaps it’s the gin.
Check out his call sign on QRZ.
By the way, should you make a contact with him (he’s will be on the 160 meter contest this weekend), drop me a line via the Contact US tab and I’ll highlight your contact here.
When I was in high school, I loved reading two catalogs: HealthKit and Allied Radio. I could spend hours dreaming of all the things I could do if only I had more money that I earned on my paper route. Yesterday I received a catalog from DX Engineering, enclosed with the antenna I had ordered from them. It is surprisingly thick and full of ham radio goodies. I would like almost everything in that catalog, and when asked if I have any Christmas wishes next year, I will know how to answer!
