    Hello, If you are are able to be QRV on 6m, you would make many radio amateurs very happy. For 6 Mtr, you don’t really need a very large antenna. I recommend a 4 element yagi, this is sufficient. I would really appreciate your consideration..

    DX-Adventure team: We are doing our best to obtain a 50 MHz licence. Currently, we do not yet have a response from the Ministry of Communications. But keep an eye on our news page


    VU4X 2025 9A5CW Patrik Hrvatin | Croatia

    Hi guys, Please take some 6m antenna with you. Many EUs like to work you on 6m band.

    Best regards, 73′ 9A5CW Patrick

    Hi, Thanks for prepping for a DX-pedition to Andaman. I need this entity for an all time new one. I don’t really care which band or mode I work first, but would like to get as many bands as possible before you go QRT. I definitely would like to work you on CW and FT8!

    Good luck on the DX-pedition! 73′, Ron N0SL.


    VU4X 2025 WG5G Dan Walker | USA

    Hi, I need VU4X for ATNO any band, W4VKU has activated VU4 many times & says there is severe electronic noise from the LED street lights, the further away you can locate the antennas from the noise source the better, you can contact Krish – W4VKU at his QRZ email address. I hope you will be using BEAM ANTENNAS as I am a low power station.

    Good luck, 73′ Dan WG5G.


    VU4X 2025 | DL4FAY Tommy Diehl | Germany

    Hi Team, I am happy and excited that you go to VU4, maybe the year after to VU7. Haha… It is a pitty that the Vote is restricted to the Band because I am a OLD SCHOOL OM, so I need you on 160 CW. Dont do any Roboter | PC Mode sorry. Hope there will be some time from you for Top Band CW.

    73 and CU, DL4FAY Tommy.


    VU4X 2025 | HA0DU Steve Kölcsey | Hungary

    Hi, Please add 6 meters to your VU4X plans !

    73′ Good DX Steve HA0DU.


    VU4X 2025 W0BF Gary Reeb | USA

    Hi, VU4X would be an “All Time New One” for me. It will put on the ARRL DX Honor roll as # 331. Please make an effort to give us ATNO hams a fair shot. Of course CW will be the best chance I will have. I only use 100 watts to dipole antennas , but I have worked the N5J station 3 times on CW! Also , I have worked stations farther away than you will be. So , PLEASE , PLEASE could you guys make calls for us ATNO on CW ?? Not new band , not new mode , just an all time new DX country !

    Thank you for this chance, 73′ Gary W0BF.

    Hi, Great website design, hope to work you on Top Band, the last band needed!

    VU4X 2025 | SM7FJE Bo Nilsson | Sweden

    Hi, Most wanted band 6m, which was impossible to vote on. 6m EME preferred!

    73′ SM7FJE Bo.

    DX-Adventure team: Dear Bo, currently 50 MHz is only allowed in FM with max 25 watts. Therefore, we understand very well that the demand for 6 meters is very high. We have made an official request to the Ministry of Communications to get an exception to experiment. We hope to receive an answer to that soon and more clarity on this situation. We hope for good news.


    VU4X 2025 NE8P Mike Polom | USA

    Looking forward to the VU4X adventure. Please make big efforts on CW and/or SSB, not just FT8. Will it be ocean side location? This seems necessary for good results on low bands, which I need!

    Thanks and Good Luck! 73′ Mike.

    DX-Adventure team: Dear Mike, our location is on the west side of South Andaman island, right on the ocean. Our low band antenna are located on the beach. Our team has very good SSB | CW operators, so it will definitely not be only FT8. We are also trying to focus on North America, because we realize very well that this will be a big challenge.


    VU4X 2025 | JN7FAH Ken Nakajima | Japan

    Dear members, I appreciate your hard work making this project possible. I wish you good weather condition in April. I believe this DX-pedition will invite many young radio amateurs to satellites, higher frequencies and worldwide communications.

    Will be listening, hope to get a new one in april 😉 3deg elevation should be easy. Brazil station works the bird at 0 degrees daily, so you will most likely do very good, Prepare to manage a HUGE pileup ! Best of luck and see you on the bird.

    JW0X 2022 | DD1US Matthias Bopp | Germany

    Dear team, I wish you good luck and look forward to work you on QO-100.

    Furthermore I hope that you will be able to make contact with DP0GVN, which is now active again as the antenna system was replaced.
    That you and the team down there could make a very unique QSO from the very North to the very South.

    Kind regards, Matthias DD1US

    DX-Adventure team: Matthias, thank you for your contribution to the QO-100 DXpedition. We are in contact with Felix DP1POL and Karsten DP0GVN in Antarctica. We will definitely make a sked with Karsten and hope to make a QSO with the German base “Neumayer Station III” in Antarctica.

    JW0X 2022 | PA3HHT Maus Goossens | The Netherlands

    De onzekerheid van slagen maakt de expeditie juist zo bijzonder. En je weet het pas als je het hebt geprobeerd. Jullie zoeken de randjes op, en dat getuigt mijn inziens van HAM-spirit. Ik zal niet in het logboek komen, omdat ik geen antennes meer op het dak heb (en voorlopig ook niet nodig vind). Ik beperk me tegenwoordig tot mini-activeringen, meestal vuurtorens (zie Lighthouse tour website). Van heel andere orde natuurlijk, maar ik heb er plezier van. Ik hoop dat jullie het lukt en dat het anderen inspireert om ook eens de veiligheid van de radioshack te verlaten!

    Veel succes, 73′ Maus PA3HTT

    We all know that “JW” on HF is not at the top of ‘The most wanted DX list’ but it is always a unique experience. Also the first team meeting showed the competence & motivation of each of the team members. Therefore I am looking forward to participating in this DX-pedition. Thanks to Max and Erik for inviting me!

    Heel veel succes gewenst aan het hele team ! Een prachtige ‘challenge’ om deze noordelijke archipel in verschillende modes te runnen. Jullie zullen waarschijnlijk de pioniers zijn om het QO-100 gebeuren vanaf deze locatie te activeren. Een unieke kans ! Ik kijk er al naar uit, net zoals vele anderen, om jullie op verschillende banden en modes in mijn log vast te leggen.
