3C0W like all other DXpeditions before are located on the North side of the island while the main path to OC is via South and blocked by a mountain. When on Saturday we finally had a long path opening from 3C0W to OC on 40m we were hopeful to get some attention by the team. Unfortunately that was not the case and they progressed working EU and NA even so one ZL finally made it into the log, only for 3C0W to QSY just before our sunset when the peak propagation would be. Like most of the DXpeditions to Africa this one is again a big frustration for Oceania HAMs. May be the criteria should not be who works the most total QSO’s but who gives the most ATNO’s to the community. 73 Holger

Please, please, please, Run a wire dipole or two from that bell tower to the pine tree or one of the light posts in the pictures and some long haul DX might actually be able to hear you.

Good luck, TJ, 3C, 3C0, TY, TN are all very, very, very rare in this part of the world.

Great activity, one of the best of this year for sure ! Speaking about ft 8, all good, all beautifull, but I see (in your log but also in other log of actually dxped) the same qso of old dirty rtty (one of the less efficent mode…), often more on tty, not a great benefit at the end 😉

Tough location for operating, regardless of band. EXTREMELY high noise floor in Macau and not much room for antennas. Wish you well. 73 John KE7B
