Country Uncle DX Club

TJ9PF
CAMEROUN 2011

The very successful TJ9PF DXpedition is over and the results are in. A number of Country Uncles did very well in the box count race but there can only be one number one. That Number One title goes to W4JSM - Joe who filled 22 out of 24 possible contact boxes and was in 3rd place overall in the USA. See chart below.
Other Country Uncle contacts with TJ9PF are shown below:

W4JSM - 22
W4CSW - 14
K4JRS - 14
KW4CC - 6
W4ASE - 2
K4NV - 1
K4JBJ -1
WT4J - 1
W4HX - 1
(please let us know if anyone was left out)

The TX3A DXpedition went QRT on November 30th 2009. Several Country Uncles had contacts with them.

      Milton N4DA - 2
      Van KW4CC - 1
      Dennis K4NV - 2
     Joe W4JSM - 2
     Gary W4CSW - 2

But one Country Uncle went well beyond the norm - Barney W4HX had 12 blocks filled as you can see above and with some long calculations we have determined that only 2 hams in zone 5 had more contacts. Congratulations to Barney for a great DX performance - Country Uncle Style.

6 Meters has been Open...

It seems 6 Meters has been open and a number of Country Uncles have been working some significant DX on 6 meters. In particular Gary WB4CSW and Milton N4DA have been picking up some rare European contacts on 6. In fact, recently Gary got the email below concerning one of his 6 meter contacts - UR7D (to preserve authenticity there was no editing done to the email):

A Country Uncle using QRP?

Now just what is wrong with that statement? It is for sure an oxymoron at the very least, but it has been reported to the editor that one of our own has in fact bee caught working some DX on a QRP rig.

Joe Marbury, W4JSM, worked VP6DX - Ducie Island, to the SW on 15 and 12 Meters QRP using the Yaesu FT-817 with the much maligned Bencher Skyhawk. Joe indicated that his night light was using more power than the FT-817 at the time of the contact.

This can not be a trend?

The J5C Dxpedition is Now History
Joe Marbury W4JSM has won the handicap class with 6 SSB contacts.
(editor - certainly some comment could be made here but it is just too easy)

Dennis Arnold K4NV placed second in this class with four SSB contacts and one rogue CW contact.

In the overall class Jim Schnurr K4JRS took the lead with 9 combined CW and SSB contacts
closely followed by Milton Lord N4DA with 8 combined contacts.

The Country Uncles are anxiously awaiting the next DXpedition to land.

The 9U0A is now one for the history books and and the top dog Country Uncle working this DX station is:

K4JRS

This is easily verified by logging onto their website and checking the online log. Old age-crippled knees and bad hands do not slow this old ham down on the DX front - so we are told...

Together... Yes We Can!
