Yes I know, long time no post…
Sorry about that, I have been quite busy, what with activations, as you can check on the new page CU3HY/P, but also with erecting a new tower, mind you when a say a new tower I do mean an old tower, a ham-me-down, as opposed to a hand-me-down. So far I have dug out the bottom, this week I should be cementing the whole thing, then its a matter of waiting a few weeks…
I sold my FT-857D, to a fellow ham friend, CU3GQ, now I am a bit “radio-less”, I am looking hard for a small, can be old HF radio to go on my activations as CU3HY/P, but so far it’s been hard to find one that is cheap, sold my 857 because I needed the cash, unfortunately one cannot make an omelet without cracking some eggs…
Also I have a new qsl card, a very nice professionally made qsl card!!

CU3HY QSL CARD
Now I am expecting another qsl card for my portable operations CU3HY/P, that one should come in this week.
Another piece of information I am very proud to anounce is that I got invited to go to on a four day DXpedition to Berlenga Island, off the coast of Portugal, now mind you this is off mainland Portugal, so it means a 2 hour plane ride for me and then an hour boat ride, I’m very excited about this one, it will be from June 10th thru 13th, alltouhgt I will be flying out on June 7th to mainland, this means that most likely before I go on the big expedition some smaller ones might happen, the invite was made by my DX group manager, CT1FMX from the OESTE DX GANG, thank you Jorge for the vote of confidence.
The DXpedition will have the callsign CQ7OA, check it out here http://www.qrz.com/db/cq7oa

That’s all for now, all the best from AZORES ISLANDS, 73 de CU3HY
