FSDXA announce Christmas Island for 2011 DXpedition

12/10/2010 • General

FSDXA Logo The Five Star DXers Association (FSDXA) will be heading to the Pacific Ocean. Their plans are to activate Christmas Island (T32) using 24 (G3YBY included) operators, with 15 FT-5000s and 15 VL-1000 amps.

Their goals are:

  • To operate to the highest standards
  • To make contact with 40,000 different stations (uniques)
  • To give every DXer, wherever based, a chance to contact T32
  • To exploit all openings to Europe
  • To contact between 1,000 and 2,000 different stations in the UK
  • To exceed 150,000 QSOs
  • To win back some of the world records previously held by FSDXA
  • To place an emphasis on the LF bands
  • To have up to 15 stations on the air simultaneously
  • And, oh yes - to have some fun!
