MAY 2 – Posted on QRZ.com, Helge reports the following:
I have currently problems uploading to LoTW, expect delay until it is solved. Club Log/eQSL/etc all OK.
APRIL 26 – by Helge, LB4MI on Jan Mayen:
I have now done several CW pileups, which is great fun! I am NOT a skilled CW operator or DXer, so I am VERY HAPPY your patience during the pileups! I seem to be able to do 100 CW QSO’s before I get too tired, so 1,5 hour in average. I will send “QRT IN xx MIN” to keep you updated, but then I am normally already starting to struggle a bit laugh If I struggle to get your call correct, it’s either a “difficult” callsign, and/or MANY other calling me on your frequency. Please QRS and repeat 2-3 times, and please repeat full callsign. I will do all I can to get your call correct in my log. All QSO’s are 100% headcopy.
APRIL 9 – JX/LB4MI is now QRV and has been active on 20m SSB. Audio recording below by IZ5CML.
APRIL 5 – On the scene with Helge who will soon be operational from “Tikkebu” (radio shack on Jam Mayen). Pictures credit JX/LB4MI:
MARCH 15 – DX-World has learned that another radio operator (UPDATE: now confirmed as JX7QY) may also be going to Jan Mayen this coming Summer work season.
JANUARY 26 – Helge, LB4MI recently listed this particular callsign on the QRZ.com database. He mentions to DX-World that more info may become available in a few weeks time, and there is a chance the trip will happen. QRX..
Great to see again a longer activity from Jan Mayen and hope to catch Helge in phone on some bands.
Last year operation from JX2US made 22k QSOs but with no SSB activity.
Thanks for an ATNO, Helge! Great to work you today on 17.
