Best regards, Emil, de DL8JJ


Update August 27, 2024: After offering DL8JJ’s EME operations as “embedded activity” in Djibouti, Cameroun and, now, Burkina Faso, MDXC is proud to announce that during forthcoming XT2MD, in addition to traditional 160 through 6m, all-mode operations and 2m EME digi, we will offer the chance to also contact us via QO-100 satellite, all-mode.

This new experience will be managed by GI4DOH Richard that, like DL8JJ for EME, will spend part of his time left free from the “regular” HF operations shifts, giving chance to the enthusiasts of QO-100 to contact Burkina Faso.

Richard will be more than happy to arrange scheduled operations: please directly contact him via his QRZ.COM email. With this new prestigious additional activity, MDXC will improve furthermore the quality of its DX Expeditions, giving to the Amateur Radio Community worldwide the opportunity to grow new skills and to have more fun.

Unfortunately, there is a “dark side” of this: the air freight of necessary set-up will increase our costs, already out of planned budget. So, to support XT2MD with your donations is even more necessary than before and also a small amount will help us to face this difficult journey. Please visit www.mdxc.support/xt2md/ and support us to continuing give you on-air fun!


Update July 23, 2024: Emil. DL8JJ, will join the Mediterrano DX Club's DX-expedition to Burkina Faso and work 2m EME outside his HF operating shifts.


Update July 5, 2024: Our adventure is approaching. The team is ready and is starting to test the setup. The only goal as always –  maximum fun. You can follow the news on our Website. On the same site you can fill out the questionnaire to indicate which mode(s) and band(s) you are most interested in; it will be useful to focus our efforts to try to make everyone happy!


Update May 28, 2024: Website available.


Members of the Mediterraneo DX Club will be QRV on HF Bands and EME as XT2MD from Burkina Faso from October 31 to November 11. 2024.
