  • MS0NYM – DXPedition to the Isle of Lewis

    The Guisborough and District Amateur Radio Club are travelling to the Isle of Lewis on Sunday 21st September 2025 for a one week DXPedition. Situated in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, we will be activating Islands on the Air (IOTA) reference EU-123 (Scottish Coastal Islands). We are also planning some UK Bunkers on the Air (BOTA) and Summits on the Air (SOTA) activations as a portable station also (using separate callsigns).

    We will be active on most HF bands on SSB and CW, with FT8 as a backup mode in quiet times or later in the night. Logging will be instant to QRZ.com, eQSL and Clublog. QSL cards can be requested direct with 3USD bills to G0UOK.

    You can view live operating and frequency information HERE (link opens in new tab).

    You can view our livestream HERE (link opens in new tab) or via Youtube HERE.

  • E7POTA – Special Callsign for Parks on the Air (POTA)

    The special callsign E7POTA from Bosnia-Herzegovina is now active on the HF bands for the Parks on the Air (POTA) program.

    E7POTA and OE/E7POTA will be active across the HF bands on SSB and FT8/FT4. Keep an eye on the POTA cluster HERE (link opens in new tab) for information. The callsign is also active on Facebook and you can follow them HERE (link opens in new tab).

    An award scheme for the special callsign is also available, awarding diplomas for making QSOs with the station. Details of the award scheme is available on their website HERE.

    I am pleased to have received the Bronze Award so far, and I will continue to work the callsign in their POTA activations.

    I had the pleasure of interviewing Esad E77PY, one of the activators and leaders of the E7POTA callsign. You can view the interview HERE (link opens in new tab).

    E7POTA Bronze Award – M7OJA. Thanks to E7POTA
