Hi Folks,
This year, as in previous years, I am planning a camper trip to Scandinavia. This year's route will include countries such as Finland and Norway towards exotic KQ grids. It will take place between July 18th and August 18th, 2025.

During this expedition, I plan to activate about 20 grids in the 2/4/6m band and work (if time allows, from several IOTA islands only in the 20m band).

For the last few months, I have been receiving information from shortwave operators from the following countries: DL, PA, OH, SM, SP, S5, OZ, G and based on this, I have chosen the squares and bands that I will focus on first and foremost.   So that we understand each other, it may be the case that in a given grid I activate only two bands and not three!

The squares that I will be moving through are:
KP01 - 20th/July           KP19 - 01st/August
KP02 - 21st/July            KQ10 - 02nd/August  
KP14 - 22nd/July           KQ11 - 03-04th/August
KP26 - 23th/July            KQ20 - 05th/August
KP27 - 24th/July            KQ21 - 06th/August
KP17 - 25th/July            KP29 - 07th/August
KP28 - 26th/July            KQ31 - 07-08th/August
KP18 - 27th/July            KQ41 - 09th/August
KP08 - 28th/July            KQ50 - 10th/August (maybe)
KP09 - 29th/July            KP49 - 11-12th/August
JQ90 - 30-31st/July*     KP39 - 13th/August

* (if there is a ferry)

Equipment taken:
FT-847, IC-7300, IC-9700

Antennas:
2m Yagi  9el
4m Yagi 8el, 4el
6m Yagi 4el
20m Delta

3KW Honda EM-30 Generator
4 Laptops, PA"s, etc.

This month-long journey will cover about 8000 km. We will try to transmit from "wild" locations, not campsites, to minimize interference and give as many shortwave operators as possible the opportunity to contact us via Meteor scatter or sporadic.

During the journey I will have APRS turned on, where you will be able to follow my journey as SP7VC-9 on:   
   campertrack.org  -- https://www.positionsreport.de/index.html
   aprs.fi          -- https://aprs.fi/

When I stop I will activate the beacon on frequency 50.100 in CW mode.
Support for the expedition is welcome via PayPal.

See you soon
