Update October 15, 2024:  Some radio amateurs are very disappointed with our DXpedition because according to them we do not pay attention to 50 MHz | 6 Mtr. Other radio amateurs wonder why we do not do 50 MHz | 6 Mtr. Every week we get a lot of questions about this from different countries.

It's not that we don't want to, we would even like to be active on 50 MHz | 6 Mtr during the VU4X DX-pedition. But unfortunately the law decides otherwise. On Andaman Island 50 MHz | 6 Mtr is only allowed with a maximum power of 25 Watt | FM.

We have been asking for an exception for a long time. Hoping that we will be granted temporary permission to use more power and different modes. There have been several contacts with the Ministry of Communications. At the moment we have not yet received a final decision or positive answer. But we continue to ask the question and hope together with you for a positive answer.

Update October 1, 2024: The weather did not look too good, but Saturday, September 28, had been noted in our agenda for some time as the first VU4X antenna day. At 8 a.m. we met at Patrick ON4HIL’s house. Patrick and Betty welcomed us with coffee and delicious coffee cakes. Then it was time for antenna work and we started building the first antennas. On the agenda were the 160 Mtr – 80 Mtr and 60 Mtr vertical with elevated radials. Everything was neatly measured out and it was nice to experiment and see what influences some things did or did not have on the antennas | radials.

Update August 29, 2024: The entire team is working hard to prepare for the Andaman Islands DX-pedition 2025. We also received the first donations. Many thanks for that. All donations >20 Euro automatically received a "Thank you award" in their mailbox. A .jpg file that you can use on social media and also in PDF in high resolution for the people who like to print it.
