    VU2VKU, Krish, (aka W4VKU) and his DXpedition to Lakshadweep and to Andamann. The questions that were discussed and answered were:


    How did you get into Ham Radio?

    Why start chasing DX?

    Why decide to BE the DX?

    What other DXPeditions have you been on?


    Specifically, lets talk about VU7A - Lakshadweep

    Located in the Arabian Sea off of the West coast of India

    Just above the equator - HOT Approximately 12/4 to 12/15.

    Lets talk about VU4N - Andaman Island

    Episode 35 - Activation a new DXCC Entity Apr 01, 2024

    This is The DX Mentor podcast. I hope to help those hams trying to move up the DXCC ladder as well as those that at on the DXCC Honor Roll. As fast as technology is moving, no one can keep up on it all. I am here to help. #DX #Hamradio

    Here are the topics for this episode:

    I will introduce each member and ask you to describe your DX and Ham experience;


    Describe Freedonia: Freedonia is located on the Ionian Sea, a peninsula off the coast of Albania. This will be the first activity there since 1933.


    The DXPedition will be led by W8GEX - Joe. Other team members will include K8DV – Dave, AD8FD – Brian, and K4YJ - Dwight. Billy, AA8KY, will be the pilot station.


    The IARU has agreed to allow the same call sign to be used for this inaugural DXPedition, GR0UCH/0.


    W8GEX : How did you find out about Freedonia and the new entity?


    K8DV - what was the process like to get it recognized?


    W8CAA - this sounds expensive since it is last minute, how are you funding this?


    K4YJ - You will have 160M responsibility and SSB chores. How do you expect this to go? Not exactly the best time for low band propagation


    K8DV - Are you ready for the CW chores? I assume there will be massive pileups


    AB8FD - Brian - You are the digital guy. what will you be using and how swamped do you expect to be?


    W8GEX How will you split time between 60M and the other bands?

    Hello and welcome to episode 24 of The DX Mentor, All About 60 Meters. Thank you for joining us.

    I’m Bill, AJ8B, The DX Mentor. My guests are DX Gurus that we can all learn from.

    I am sorry that it has been several weeks since we had an episode drop. Work and family as well as scheduling challenges for me and my guests always seems to complicate things. However, I am very appreciative that you are still with us, and I want to let you know that we have several excellent episodes coming up!


    In this episode we will attend a detailed discussion on 60 Meters. My guests are Joe, W8GEX, otherwise known as the godfather of 60 Meters, Mike, W0VTT, and Don, K8MFO.
