EUDXF supports the V7X DXpedition
It is our pleasure to advise that the EUDXF supports the V7X DXpedition to the Marshall Islands by the Next Generation DXPedition team (the team behind 8R7X).
The Marshall Islands (V7) are currently ranked #56 for Europe on the Clublog Most Wanted list. This DXCC entity is highly needed across all modes, but especially in SSB and Data modes like RTTY and FT8.
The team is committed to ensuring that we maximize coverage in these modes.
Leading this ambitious project is Philipp Springer (DK6SP), a 26-year-old operator. Co-leading the team is Sven Lovric (DJ4MX), a 22-year-old operator. Joining them are Tomi Varro (HA8RT), aged 25; Jamie Williams (M0SDV), aged 24; and the seasoned operator Emir “Braco” Memic (E77DX), aged 50.
Thus, this is a highly skilled and young team. The project is also solely organized by youth operators.
The QTH is located on Majuro Atoll, also known as IOTA OC-029, within the Republic of the Marshall Islands outside of the bigger cities. The location has direct access to the sea and thus the saltwater.
There will be plenty of space available for both TX and RX antennas.
Grid: RJ57
QSL cards will be provided via DJ4MX.
Become an individual sponsor with a donation of €20 / $20 before the first QSO from V7 and receive free direct QSL for your callsign!

EUDXF Activity Month in the month of November.
Celebrating the 38th anniversary of the EUDXF we like to invite our members you to join this EUDXF Activity Month to bring as much as possible EUDXF activity from as many as possible countries. A special callsign featuring 38EUDXF is encouraged to achieve a clear label and link to the EUDXF Activity Month celebrating the 38th anniversary of the EUDXF.
Like previous years there will be a nice award linked to the 38EUDXF activity month.
Details will follow as soon as we have a clear picture of the number of stations participating.
Any initiative is welcome, but please let us know so we can combine publicity for the EUDXF Activity Month. The EUDXF supports where necessary with, for example, authorization fees, printing of QSL cards and/or QSL management. DX station participating is encouraged, this is for sure not an Europe only activity.
Please do not hesitate to contact Alex PA1AW when you have any questions or wish to be part of the celebrations.
