[br]Hello all,

I will be departing St. Helena island in late June & travel to my next DX location of Tristan da Cunha island.[blue][i][b] My callsign on Tristan will be ZD9X. The Tristan will last 4 - 6 months, maybe longer[/b][/i][/blue]. A home has been secured for myself with a backyard measuring one acre. Plenty of room for antennas as ZD7X.

Operating from St. Helena has been rather fun. I will be excited for a new DX location after all is said & done though. [i][b]Full story to come out someday!!![/b][/i]
With almost 35,000 QSO's now, the radio & vertical antenna have been doing a good job. I DO NOT want to have to break out the spare radios of a Kenwood TS-2000 & a Yaesu 100D if something should go wrong with my main "good" radio.

[blue][i][b]Once on Tristan, my plan is to explore a way of getting to Bouvet island & to operate from there before a TENATIVE operation to the three islands of South Sanswich, South Orkney & South Georgia via the Falkland islands. [/b][/i][/blue]
According to the 100 Most Needed List, (2006) Bouvet is ranked at 8th in the world. It would be a crying shame to be less than 1400 miles from Bouvet and not to give a 100% effort to try to put Bouvet on the air. Bouvet is located nearest to Tristan than any other island.

Still no plans of any RTTY/PSK activity as either ZD7X or ZD9X. My MicroHam unit that should allow Digi operation has not worked since I got here. Personal interest the Digi modes is also not that great.

Good DX,
