Montenegro International DX Festival under way

Several vehicles from various European locations, such as Bulgaria, Poland, Germany and Holland brought radio equipment and additional antennas to the already impressive multi-multi site on the Adriatic coast for the Montenegro International DX Festival to mark the latest addition - the Republic of Montenegro – to the DXCC List which is being held July 20 until August 13.

The callsign is 4O3NT, being used by a large number of prominent DXers on all bands and modes including Martti Laine, OH2BH from Finland, Dave Sumner, K1ZZ, Secretary of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) and CEO of the ARRL, Nigel, G3TXF from the UK, Franz, DJ9ZB from Germany, as well as the Bulgarian DXers Nick, LZ1JY, Dimiter, LZ1UQ and Danny, LZ2UU.

While the DX activation is the most visible part of the festival, the group will conduct meetings with the local telecom authorities and also help the Amateur Radio Union of Montenegro toward a membership in the International Amateur Radio Union.

The 4O3NT operation has launched Yaesu’s new FT2000 transceiver and is employing several SteppIR antennas, courtesy of the Northern California DX Foundation (NCDXF). Also ACOM from Bulgaria has provided several amplifiers for this operation.
