C5 club log and MH2 mike
Some (SOME) qso uploaded to club log.
The CW qso from BERU contest and some other cw qso either side I have ADI files for.
Still got lot of the paper SSB ones to go through yet.
I do not expect that any of the AF-060 logs this trip will be on club log yet.
I might upload to LoTW after all club logs entries are made.
In mean time waiting for MH2 mikes from qpproject for the K2 build as they have confirmed they have them so much cheaper than obtaining from US..

Marigold
Yes I did operate BERU
in Marigolds as the hotel electrics were faulty (Lve-Neutral reverse
and faulty light socket so all chassis was live!) Made for interesting
operating. I decided to just bond all chassis and (wire from 80m dipole
was sacrificed) earths and use the gloves no photo though. Would have
been amusing... yellow ones. Gonna pack a pair now for next trip!

C5/M1KTA AF-060 Audio
This is what is sounded like for me... second session (not all of it either!)
http://m1kta.ham-radio-op.net/m1kta/af-060.mp3
enjoy.
Not exactly what I heard... I also had a lot of wind noise and terns/seagulls so the audio recorded was not quit what I heard, I re-listened and I missed a few stations when I should not have really.
Lost it a bit in middle 47mins in.... EU would not shut up when I could hear NA/VK etc.
I loved the fact I said I had gone QRT... was breaking down stuff but callers kept on calling... Some stn's don't listen (me too obviously!)
I was spotted in the middle of this session which didn't really help.

C5/M1KTA Beach operation 16/3/2015 (Last morning)
In a repeat of 2014 I spent some time working VK and ZL stations from the beach again early in the morning. This time 20m (last was 15m)
This was taken after sun was up but had been on the beach since 04:30 UTC
The slightly smoother sand was where the sea water had got to so was right by the high water mark.
The simple setup.
The security guards were usually sitting under the cone shaped hut but had gone to do a check of the perimeter.
Audio of the session will go here......

C5/M1KTA AF-060 Random photos and videos
OK lots of photos and videos... in sort of order....
At hotel waiting for driver. Note this time radio kit in two water proof bags (inside are lock 'n lock boxes containing the radio kit. Rucksack has batteries, seat and other bits do not might loosing (not too much if capsize!). The yellow bags will float with the contents (large radio, smaller leads and log book!)I tested them. Note antenna is a buddipole.
The boat that will take me out there... see photos from last year, same boat!
Total difference to last year as this point on crossing flat calm
Jamaq boat man and guide.
insert video of crossing here....
Note had a hole in boat as we hit something had to stop and fix....
Just landed that spec in distance is the boat being moored.
Video of the island....
Setting up... Not great shot, self timed it.
Note KX3 and motor bike battery no pa!
As I was operating....
(Video 65)
Tide coming in fast, this is the sand bar I walked up from the boat!
Leaving island after first session
Travel back to shore
Almost back on shore..
Went out again after about 2 hours for second session and many more NA/JA qso. Chose to take laptop and inverter to make logging easier... crossing was not as calm too.

DX Cluster is a pain
AF-060 was yesterday 15th March, two sessions 15m ssb only.
This morning 16th March MAINLAND ONLY. Seems man he say no today to going out to AF-060, multiple reasons (excuses?) why no... but managed 3hr pile up on 20m this morning... shame was not able to get to AF-060 as VK/ZL/JA and NA were all open, typical.
This was this morning... when started was pitch black abt 04:30 UTC.
Was hoping to reactivate AF-060 20 m today seems one day (yesterday 15m) was enough, still keeps it rare I guess I see some idiots were spotting I was on it even though said I wasn't this morning ho hum.
Island/sandbar only 3 miles away so near and yet so far!

AF060 session 1 who's in the log
Nowhere near LoTW etc and sitting in Eco hotel bar (wifi, it is Africa
and they got WiFi!!), waiting for water to drop so sand bar is uncovered
again. This is the list of callsigns I have just worked from AF-060 15m
ssb. Yes I was only QRP... KX3 10W from a 7AH motor bike battery into a
buddipole (tuned) for 15m freq. Didn't need some spares and other stuff
so taking less this afternoon. Left battery on island as still charged.

Ended 11:50
Started Simplex... rapidly had to go split 10:40.... and that didn't
work so went 5-7 up soon after, I just had a wall of noise and was hard
pulling out callsigns, shouting two letters doesn't help! Obviously lots
of demand for this one, might have gone wider but I had not had time to
check all freq were open.
107 qso in 88 mins so c72qso/hr not the fastest ever.
Operation is 100% limited to the sand bars, antennas HAVE to be self
supporting (no guys even!) well away from bird nesting colony and was
accompanied whole time by Tanji Bird Reserve Guide to make sure I complied.
Hope to be qrv again about 15:00-17:30 UTC NA/JA focus. Please if you
are in the list above DONT CALL.

Ended 11:50
Started Simplex... rapidly had to go split 10:40.... and that didn't
work so went 5-7 up soon after, I just had a wall of noise and was hard
pulling out callsigns, shouting two letters doesn't help! Obviously lots
of demand for this one, might have gone wider but I had not had time to
check all freq were open.
107 qso in 88 mins so c72qso/hr not the fastest ever.
Operation is 100% limited to the sand bars, antennas HAVE to be self
supporting (no guys even!) well away from bird nesting colony and was
accompanied whole time by Tanji Bird Reserve Guide to make sure I complied.
Hope to be qrv again about 15:00-17:30 UTC NA/JA focus. Please if you
are in the list above DONT CALL.

C5/M1KTA
AF-060 Activation
About to travel to island AF-060 Bijol Islands (15th). High tide is just after noon so I expect two sessions one before, one after (safety conscious guides). Will be active most of the day (daylight hours local time is UTC)
Will be SSB ONLY.
QSL route via M1KTA
Call C5/M1KTA
Expect 15m, 17m or maybe 20m ONLY any other band expect it is not me!

The room and view
Photos just taken this morning.
The Sea is about 40 metres away.
I have just GOT to use that Baobab tree for the 80m dipole support.
Good thing will only be up when it is dark and I bought some extra coax.

qrv from C5
Finally up and running... JUst makeshift antenna will sort out something proper tomorrow. Being heard.... this is 10w from KX3 into a buddipole
Feeling very tired been a long day...Going to grab a bit of sleep and then food, pura and battery shopping, arrange IOTA tfrs before qrv again.

How working the DX qrper should NOT be done :-)
You have set your DX cluster alarm and the station you want is on the air.... (C5/M1KTA is expected on AF-060 this w/e at some point).
(seriously tongue in cheek)...
You come upon the pileup the alarm tells you I am on air, you must find the exact frequency I am using and slowly tune up your amplifier, best take a few minutes to do this, use the mike a few 'dah dah dah's' and maybe a few ditdahditdah of the key for best effect to really squeeze that last watt out.... Take your time doing this as it has maximum effect this way. The longer you take, the better. It lets others know that YOU are going to call me.
You THINK it is Dom C5/M1KTA but being the sort of fellow you are you just cannot wait to find out who he is as his signal is pretty weak and you didn't get it all so you just have to drop in and ask, "What is the DX call sign is that C5/M1KTA?" On CW best send ?DX?? Call? at 30wpm as I really love that and find it so useful" Don't forget to confirm I am on AF-060 too (or not) that is so important, I will not have done it when you 'found me' so of course you would not know. Whatever you do do NOT listen, this takes time. If I have not responded and you are not sure if everyone else has heard you yet you need to repeat, I am sure that someone else will let you know. BTW this will display to all others on frequency that you are a serious and important operator and really want to work this DX. This is called sharing.
Now you have it confirmed that it is me, it is time to send your call sign, please do not be worried about the fact that someone else has just been trying to finish a contact with me , it is important that you must get through to me immediately so, repeat your call over and over again on the DX frequency using non standard phonetics. Don't worry that I had been speaking to someone else, he will not mind. This works really well if you cannot hear any other stations on that frequency, I'll be working split which means I'll be listening either up or down from the transmit frequency. That way I'll never hear you and you will make sure that everyone knows and eventually someone will relay that you are transmitting over me.
Then you must make sure that you protect YOUR qso and the DX is a qrp station so you need to remain on frequency and shout UP at regular intervals or let others know I am on that frequency and how I am operating it is so helpful.
As I know C5 can be a rare one from some places about the globe the bands open only for a short while for a qrp signal so just when I say Pacific or JA only please, all you stations from EU with 24x7 propagation please try extra hard to contact me. Of course I'll forget you are there and never come back again (SP8 station you know who you are!).
When I have a few stations calling and it sounds like I got part of one call sign and say 'G3XX only' or the 'G3xx portable station only' then please make sure I don't forget you are there too and keep calling. You're right I am a qrp station and probably couldn't hear him anyway.
You manage a contact and I am running split and there is a mini pile up and I have a small run of stations (SSB) so by all means move just a khz up above my calling frequency, switch in that speech processor and pa and start calling CQ I just love the effect it makes. And then ignore all attempts to ask you to qsy as that VFO dial seems locked.
If you have worked me before either this trip or a previous one then please make sure you call and let me know I am stronger/weaker than the last 6 times you worked me before. I will be really grateful you let me know this. Others on frequency will respect you more, you will be recognized as a Big Gun DXer. (One EA station called me every day last time just to tell me this!)
I have just spent 2 hours working station after station on say 15m SSB and propagation has improved to the extent that I am now working West Coast NA stations and you manage to work me, being so excited don't forget to ask me when I am going to operate another mode just for you. I am sure all the other callers will love to know this too. And even though I cannot say make sure you discuss on air when YOU need to schedule a contact as you need that mode too, I am sure everyone else will love that.
I finally manage to find time to operate some RTTY from C5 and ask for short contacts only, but please don't listen as I am sure I need to see every macro you have spent hours coding into your software that tells me all about your pet cat and their kittens too. This is really helpful to everyone and I am sure it will not hold up anyone else, this is extremely effective operating practice if you time it so that it happens just as 15m propagation fads out for everyone.
You KNOW I am in West Africa and on an island in the Atlantic so why should you have to wait for a QSL card or a LoTW confirmation? Make sure you ask what the QSL route information is on air too as this is most effective use of everyone's time and my precious batteries. Of course the QRZ and blog pages will not have any useful information and of course LoTW certificates were not already applied for and loaded.
Lastly my favourite as we all love these guys.... you have that regular contact you make with your mate 'Sid' down the road on 14.260 or 14.285 (you see each other in the pub later anyway) and you know that often the frequency isn't being used or it is but you only hear these really faint signals that only seem to be calling CQ UP or they are using some wierdo language that isn't English of course the hearing aid batteries are not what they were as you bought them from Woolworth but it is a shame to have to buy new ones and the audio isn't working too well from the radio so you need to make sure you let Sid know he needs to turn his pa on and then arrange to chat for hours talking complete drivel about whatever the grand kids did at the lunch, or was is dinner you forget. Make sure you do this every day that I am in C5 I really appreciate this and so will everyone else.
Life's too short for QRO.

e30fb 28.005 QSX up abt 5
VERY loud into eu this morning. Was reading S7 on the meter and able to hear him no problem.
My setup Kx3, simple GP vertical.
This is the audio of him working the pile up... calling JA only... few didn't get the message earlier as had been working EU for a while.
