JA6 IOTA operation

Taka, JA7GAX, who did several IOTA operations in Oceania area between November 2006 and January 2007 (ex. 3D2CX, 5W0CX, KH8/JA7GAX, and A35TN), has now announced his next IOTA DXpedition schedules.

This time it is in the JA6 district, so the only callsign to
be used will be JA7GAX/6. Although this is 'domestic Island Hopping', he is strongly eager to work DX.

The first Island Hopping schedule is
as follows:
October 29-30th Koshiki Island (AS-037)
November 1-8th Tukhuar Islands (AS-049)
November 10-11th Amami Oshima (AS-023)
November 11-13th Okinawa (AS-017)
November 15-20th Minamidaito Island (AS-047)

If weather conditions are not favourable, he will try to activate the IOTAs between November 22-28th in the following week.

For the 2nd Island Hopping (after the first Island Hopping), he wants to go to the following islands in this order:
Yaku Islands (AS-032),
Goto Islands (AS-040),
Iki (AS-036) and
Oki (AS-041).

He will go back to Kyusyu (the main island) after his operation on Yaku Island. If his energy withers on the way, the operation on Goto Island and others will become uncertain due to his condition. He may cancel his activity due to the situation of energy, physical strength, and other reasons.

QSL via the JARL QSL Bureau or direct to the following address. Takayoshi NAGASHIMA, 3-8-18 Akasaka Aoba-ku, Sendai, 989-3211 JAPAN.
