I had the pleasure of hosting the R7C/TF DXpedition December 14-19, 2006.
The team members were Valery – RW3GW Project Manager, Andrei – RW3AH (also KL1A) and Alex – RA3MR and they made around 6,000 QSOs from my station.
They were part of a national project: “The World Encyclopedia of travel” and they brought with them a TV Crew with the plan to make a documentary about Iceland to be shown on Russian Television.
They also plan to make a separate TV documentary about their DXpedition to Iceland.
At the same time, three more operators (RA3NAN, RZ3EM and RZ3EC) were active from Flatey Island – IOTA EU-168 with the call sign TF4RRC. You may visit their website for more information.
Andrei, RW3AH has written about the DXpedition on his website : www.CQDX.ru and photos from the trip may be found in his Gallery and also here . Some sound files from the operation may be found at http://shortwave.rpod.ru/tags/TF4M/
During their stay we had very strong Aurora and Andrei coined a new term to describe the effect of the Aurora on Radio Communications as ”Aurora Firewall” (Patent Pending).
I was proud to be visited by such fellow ”Radio-Maniacs”!
I look forward to see them again. Perhaps next summer?
