March 10, 2018 – 17.00 UTC: A short update: We just passend 20k qso’s. With 5 days to go, reaching our goal of 30k we need a miracle.

We are happy to share with you that the EUDXF Board decided to support the currently active 3C3W / 3C0W DXpedition from Bioko island, Equatorial Guinea (prefix 3C and IOTA AF-010)  and Annobon (prefix 3C0 and IOTA AF-039) by Yuris/YL2GM, Kaspars/YL1ZF and Girts/YL2KL. After the success of the recent 3C3L / 3C0L DXpedition the EUDXF Board is confident that also this adventure will be a success and bring many of the demanding in Europe a new bandpoint. More information about this DXpedition can be found at www.lral.lv/3c0w_3c3w/

Today a small tropical storm hits the island with winds up to 120 km/h. Such a environment does certainly not help in picking up the weak signals from a static loaded band. The temperature is +30C and humidity is extremely high. As you can see from the pictures this is not a 5-star Rotuma-Hilton DXpedition. The building on the picture houses the radioshacks.
