Bhutan by A52CI & A52P

After a week with cloudy weather we are enjoying little bit of sunshine.

Please note that you can call A52P up to 3200 Hz. I have wide filter.

Please be patient with uploads. Internet here is very slow and sometimes not working.

On way back to Poland from Sint Eustatius my bag was lost again (probably you remember my problems with lost luggage on way to PJ5). In the bag is transceiver, power supply, Heil headphones, wire antennas and ropes.

Keep fingers crossed as it is only one week to departure to Bhutan.

1. Do not make duplicate contacts
2. Please listen before you call. Do not ask for our callsigns
3. When calling, give your full callsign, not two or three letters

We would like to thank you here to Junichi JH3AEF who shared his experience and photos of his operation from Bhutan.

It is extremely difficult to find good QTH in Bhutan. The country is very mountainous with deep valleys surrounded by steep mountain ranges. Moreover, there is a high level of electromagnetic interference in the valleys.

We will stay high in Dochula Eco Retreat at about 3070m above sea level. Seems to be good open area short path to USA, Europe and Japan. However long path to North America will be through mountain range 3500m about 2 km from our hotel, so rather rely on on a short path.

Welcome to our new adventure in Central Asia – high in the sky!
