East Malaysia IOTA operation

Steve, 9M6DXX, from the Island of Borneo (OC-088) plans to busy from East Malaysia over next two months.

Look for Steve to be active as 9M8Z from Sarawak, East Malaysia (OC-088), between October 22-26th.

Activity will be SSB only but will also include operations in the CQWW DX SSB Contest (October 24-25th) as a Single-Op/All- Band/High-Power/Unassisted entry.

QSL via LoTW, or QSL direct or by the Bureau to M0URX (or request direct or bureau cards on-line - see info at: http://www.m0urx.com/direct-a-bureau-instructions.html).

In early November, Steve 9M6DXX will be joined by John 9M6XRO and the operators will activate Pulau Labuan Island (OC-133) between November 6-8th (and possibly for one or two hours on November 9th after 0000z).

The callsigns and operations will be as follows:
9M6DXX/P - On 80-10 meters; SSB only.
9M6XRO/P - On 160-10 meters; CW and RTTY.

Each stations will be using amplifiers to a multi-band vertical and a 160m inverted-L, both mounted very close to the ocean. Operators hope it will be possible to operate on 160m CW at the same time as SSB on the other bands.

QSL both 9M6DXX/P and 9M6XRO/P via M0URX, either direct,
by the bureau or LoTW.
