This weekend is the CQ WPX CW contest. Conditions may not be real good at the moment (i type this as the A-index sits at 37) but in any major contest, it’s said good propagation conditions often emerge with the sheer number of stations calling “CQ ’Test”!!

Have fun everybody

Quick post to say that the Agalega Dxpedition callsign is now 3B6SP and not 3B6DX as earlier suggested.

Here is a quote from the official 3B6 website

Today we have received the letter from Information and Communication Technologies Authority from Mauritius which changes previously issued callsign of our DXpedition – 3B6DX. Our new callsign will be: 3B6SP

The 3B6SP team will be based here

They also have a Propagation Prediction page within the 3B6SP website
