Albanian operation

Hungarian radio ham Chris, HG5XA, will be active as ZA/HA5X from the town of Orikum and a beach on the Bay of Vlora between June 10-24th.

Activity will be holiday style, but he plans to activate some lighthouses and/or WFF locations. Please listen to the operator's comments for possible Lighthouse and WFF references, if any.

Chris will also focus on some 6 meters and portable battery operations. Also, please remember that this is not a DXpedition, but a family holiday with his XYL Marta, ZA/HA9WM, and twin 5 year old daughters.

Operating times will be limited and of lower priority. Chris has now also secured the necessary military and PTT
permission to visit and operate from Sazan Island (IOTA EU-169) during this timeframe and will be using the callsign ZA0/HA5X.

Exact date(s) for activating Sazan Island is dependent upon several factors, including weather and family program. Therefore, Chris will try to announce plans of activity on the air or possibly via his Web page. During this mini DXpedition, he will attempt to find electricity or a generator, but if that fails, he will reduce his power and be active as long as he can on battery power.

QSL via LoTW and eQSL. If possible, please DO NOT send
QSL cards. Paper QSLs will be available both direct and by the Bureau using the OQRS (Online QSL Request System) to be launched and announced later. Bureau cards will be sent out using GlobalQSL.
