All the QSOs were uploaded on LoTW. This include QSO done with the call XE3/IZ2LSC and XF3/IZ2LSC (iota NA-045) as well.

Also the DIRECT paper QSLs are being sent in these days. I hope you will receive it soon.

With the help of EB7DX and EC7ZK the QSL design is ready.

Now we have to send it to the printer and start replying to all the direct requests first.

After providing all the documentation, the IOTA Manager approved my operation from NA-045. All the QSL will be accepted and accredited for the IOTA award.

How to send QSL? Look HERE

The adventure is over.
Once at home, along with a thousand memories, it’s always nice to look at the clusters to understand how the worldwide amateur radio community has seen my activity.
Below, I collected the spots on the cluster regarding my callsign during the Mexican activity.
Thanks to everyone for the nice comments and fortunately I do not read any complaints or criticism (despite my slow CW!)

See you at the next adventure!

Here there is a table with the predicted openings from XF3.
UTC is Greenwich time and LT is local time (on the Island).
I will pay particular attention to the openings in red.
Let’s hope in the sunspots!!!

Yesterday I spent all the day testing the antenna I’m going to use in Mexico.
All went fine. The vertical dipoles resonance is good and also the performances seems good.
With the antenna very near to houses and walls I was able to listen to JA stations in 17m.

Also the vertical for 30m seems to be fine, at least from a resonance point of view (SWR less the 1.3:1 at the centre of the band).

Let’s see what’s happen on the island with the antenna mounted very close to the sea.

Welcome on my website.

These pages contain a lot of useful information about my Mexican Adventure.

I will try to keep this website updated during the adventure, but consider that the best method to follow me is using twitter: @iz2lsc.

I hope you will enjoy the website and my Ham Activity as well.
