Update July 2, 2026: Press release #2

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is the second-largest country in Africa and has been the centre of one of the world’s longest-running conflicts for decades. Ongoing fighting between rebel groups and government forces, systemic corruption, years of mismanagement of the country’s resources and recurring health crises like COVID-19, cholera, measles and Ebola, have left DRC in a severe humanitarian crisis. It is estimated that 27 million people are experiencing poverty and food insecurity – the highest number in any African country. In order to ensure the safety of the team, the costs of carrying out the expedition are rising significantly. We hope that the amateur radio community will support us as it always has ( https://www.mdxc.support/9t0md/sponsors/individual/ )
We look forward to your support.

Update April 21, 2026:  Team 9T0MD is pleased to announce the launch of its website: more than just a repository of information, it’s a true reference point for the entire DX community. A dynamic space, designed to be experienced and shared, where the expedition takes shape day by day. From preparation to operational moments, up to the final story: a journey to follow together, before, during, and after.

We’re ready for the Mediterranean DX Club’s new 2026 adventure!

Hoping that no unexpected events will force us to change our destination at the last minute this year, as happened last year, we officially announce that we will be active from September 30th to October 11th, 2026, as:

👉 9T0MD – Democratic Republic of the Congo

We will use a 9T prefix never used on the air before, making this expedition particularly interesting for the global DX community.

As always, we will be operating from 6 to 160 meters on:

SSB – CW – FT8 – RTTY

We will favor “human” modes, but will also be active on QO-100 (New One!) and EME (New One!).

The official website will be online soon, where you can follow the entire expedition organization and receive updates step by step.

In the meantime…sharpen your antennas and warm up your tubes!
