QO-100 Dx-pedition to Rodrgues (3B9)
Dear All,
Tomorrow early morning a team of 6 OM’s are flying to 3B9 with 3 QO-100 portable ground stations, they will be active there until the 9th of August. They should be operational late afternoon (3B9 time GMT +4) tomorrow and will open 3B9 on QO-100 as a first. I guess they will have quite huge pile-ups awaiting them.
Also an Echolink node will be installed at Robert’s QTH (3B8FR), the only permanent HAM on 3B9, to links Reunion (FR), Mauritius (3B8) and Rodrigues (3B9), basically our remote islands in a regional network, but also worldwide.
FYI, please.

Dear All,
Further to mail below:
Today afternoon, 3 ground stations were made operational on QO-100, huge pill-ups on the OM’s and I guess great fun for them. Thanks to QASR and AMSAT-DL who did change our life in the remote indian ocean islands to the better with such a superb bird.
Six (6) 3B8 Om’s and the only local HAM Robert (3B9FR) are operating that stations right now. They will be active until the 9th of this month.
Hopefully EchoLink will also be activated from 3B9 tomorrow, this is the plan.
Here are the news from our region.

Dear Jean-Marc,
thank you very much for this excellent DX-Pedition.
The signals are perfect and there were partly 3 stations simultaneously on air.
Very well done!
The response from the QO-100 community is overwhelming.
Kind regards
Matthias
