Thanks to Roger, EI8KN for sending on details of the activity of the 7P8EI team on the 50 MHz band.
6m operation from Lesotho – 7P8EI
From the 19th March to the 31st March 2024, I was fortunate to be part of the thirteen-strong EIDX Group dxpedition to the Kingdom of Lesotho. The callsign was 7P8EI; incorporating the usual Group suffix. We had approximately ten days of operating from the Molengoane Lodge, Nazareth, Lesotho. The locator was KG30VO.
The HF stations achieved around 53,000 contacts during the ten days.
We only had a basic setup for 6m consisting of an IC-7300, running around 60 watts to a Diamond HB9CV. No rotator. Software was MSHV.
We experienced TEP (Trans-Equatorial Propagation) openings on 24th to 27th March, and again on 29th March.
573 contacts in total were made consisting of 481 unique’s.
Thirty-five DXCC were worked, with the majority being in Europe (98%) with Italy the highest country (28%). Seven stations were worked in Africa, and five in Asia.
Only one G station was worked – G7RAU. Dave must be very happy!
The openings did not extend to EI unfortunately.
