A52A Bhutan DXpedition

de James Brooks, 9V1YC

Tucked away, far up in the Eastern Himalayas is the tiny Kingdom of Bhutan - one of the most isolated and unknown nations on Earth - and one of the most wanted DXCC entities of all time. This film goes behind the scenes at the 2000 A52A DXpedition to Bhutan, with some of the best operators ever assembled.

Dom 3Z9DX, Les SP3DOI & Przemy SP7VC from

are soon going to visit Kanton Island in Central Kiribati.

T31 is:

nr #5 on Clublog most wanted list in EU – phone

nr #10 overall in EU

nr #18 overall in the world

We are going for a 6 weeks trip to do radio activity and volunteer help to the local T31 community, including Radio Emergency Communication System.

We will try to be on AIR from Ocotber 4th 2016 (look for T31T/mm week before to check propagation)

The residents don’t have any type of communication with the rest of the world at this moment, and in case of any disaster or health problems, they can only count on themselves.

The team would like to make aware this is not a $100.000 trip as it does not need to be! We are not begging for any donation up front as travelling around the Pacific is not that expensive, contrary to what many teams suggest.

Our budget is ”packet-budget” and is enough to do activations from very rare places.

If you think that people in other remote parts of the world can use your help please let us know.
