Dear Fellow Hams,
We carried out a Dxpedition to Mahodand Lake at Kalam on July 14-15th. We worked on HF 7 Mhz, 14Mhz and 21 Mhz and vhf/uhf satellites.
The WX was nice and cold however since there were lofty mountains (15000 feet) on 3 sides of the DX location, as well as paucity of time hence fewer contacts were achieved. Nevertheless it turned out to be an excellent event. We had 2 HF radios with Dipoles working on 20 and 40 meter and one Mobile setup working 4 bands. The following equipment was used;
Icom IC 7000 with inverted V dipole
Kenwood TS 50 with inverted V dipole
Yaesu FT 857D with Mobile whip all band antenna.
Respective vehicle batteries were used to power the radios whereas the camp was iluminated by a generator. The receive signals were amazingly loud and clear. Most of our reports from Europe, Indonesia, Malaysia and Russia were 5.9. The call used was AP2ARS.
