4W8X: Timor Leste (OC-148)
4W8X: LOCATION SETUP & LOW BAND ANTENNAS ---> Lagunaria DX Group's November 2023 DXpedition to Timor Leste [425DXN 1677] 'will have two operating sites which are 500m apart. The main location, which we have also used for our 4W1A scouting trip in April, will serve all eleven bands from 160m thru 6m. The second location will serve seven bands from 40m thru 10m. The physical separation will enable us to provide two signals on the same band at the same time - one CW and one SSB. Please note that CW and SSB are our pre- ferred modes, followed by RTTY. We'll give FT8 a chance, but we definitely prefer the man-made operating modes'. As for the low bands, 4W8X will have two 30m 4-Squares, two 40m 4-Squares, one 80m 4-Square and one Titanex V160 vertical with extensive radials for 160m. For receiving, they will have two Beverages (about 250m long) plus filtering/switching network to listen in four directions, independently on 160m and 80m: Europe (short path); North America (short path); Africa, same as North America (long path); South America, same as Europe (long path). More updates highlighting different aspects of the DXpedition will be posted to http://timor-leste-dx.de/news/index.php on a weekly basis.

TX5S: Clipperton Island (NA-011)
TX5S ---> The Perseverance DX Group's DXpedition to Clipperton Island (18 January - 1 February 2024) [425DXN 1673] will have two operating camps: one for CW/Digital/Satellite/EME and one for SSB/Digital. 'The camps will be separated by about 500 meters, with CW located at the main campsite and SSB being the distant camp. The combination of distance, bandpass filters, horizontal and vertically polarized antennas at both camps will enable simultaneous operation on the same band'. The power grid will consist of six generators (five units on-line 24/7 and one spare); WiFi networking will link the camps and TX5S will have at least one Starlink terminal online 24/7, so logs will be uploaded to M0URX.com at least once per day. The nineteen person team consists of sixteen experienced radio operators, one scientist each from the University of French Polynesia and the Universi- ty of Orleans, and one environmentalist from the Association la Passion- Clipperton (France). The fundraising campaign is underway: 'our goal is always to split the expedition funding approximately equally between the expedition operators and the DX community - organizations and individuals. At the moment we still have a long way to go to reach that goal', the team's Press Release #5 states. As most bills must be paid before the team sails, donations are gratefully accepted: see https://clip.pdxg.net/donate/. You can also follow TX5S on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tx5s2024.
