DXpeditions

DXpeditions

I regularly travel for DXpeditions, amateur radio trips where we typically aim to allow other amateurs to contact an obscure or rare country or island. It's a good excuse for travelling! Many of my DXpeditions are done with the Cambridge University Wireless Society (G6UW).

This page does not contain information about my SOTA activations (travelling up hills). Only DXCC and IOTA DXpeditions are featured below.
