HONG KONG, VR2BH & MACAO, XX9X
Martti, OH2BH and Leena, OH2BE will be celebrating the termination
of their succesful three-years in Hong Kong over this weekend at
their XX9X-site in Macau. Look for XX9X on variety of frequencies.
The antennas were taken down at VR2BH which located at one of the highest
hilltops in Hong Kong. The station was not seriously activated because of
Martti's extensive travelling in the region. For three-year period, Martti
scored about 75 percent of his time out of Hong Kong. It was quite
demanding for the rest of the family but they well succeeded and Petri,
OH2KNB/VR2EW completed his basic education in the Hong Kong German School.
While the containers are heading back to their native Finland, some
interesting activities will still be in the schedule during next two
months. Please watch for some further announcements. Martti will be Seoul,
Korea and Singapore based until the end of November and then getting
re-organized at OH2BH.
In spite of these low sunspot years, tens of thousands QSOs were made along
the ashorelines of South China Sea. While many valuable friendships
developed among the hams in the region, also three new DXCC countries were
created to the holy list. BV9P, BS7H and P5-land will soon get the follow-up
activities now that the ink has dried in a new DXCC-list! Also the
permanent establishment of amateur radio in the Union of Maynmar will be
soon celebrated through the November XZ1N operation.
Regards from the South China Sea DX Team
