The RAF Amateur Radio Society, G8FC, is sending an expedition to the
Falkland Islands and will be operating from the Joint Services Welfare
Facility Amateur Radio Station using the callsigns VP8RAF/100 and
VP8FIR/100.
The callsigns commemorate the Battle of Coronel on November 1, 1914 and the
1st Battle of the Falklands on December 8, 1914.
All VP8 stations are able to use the suffix /100 between 1 November and 15
December 2014.
The Battle of Coronel off the West coast of Chile saw a number of Royal Navy
ships sunk, both the HMS Good Hope and HMS Monmouth which were lost with all
crew.
What became known as the 1st Battle of the Falklands took place to the South
East of East Falkland and saw the Royal Navy sink eight ships of the German
Imperial Navy including the flag ship of Admiral Graf Von Spee.
The RAFARS station will be using the following frequencies: CW 3.505, 7015,

18.123, 21.290, 24.945, 28.250.
Some maintenance work may have to be carried out on arrival, however, the
station should be active from December 5-9. The expedition will always be
looking for the best band to work the UK.

VK9DLX & VK9LM - LORD HOWE ISLAND DXPEDITION -
Written by DL1MGB, July 9th 2014, 20:07
It has been a while since the last news about our DXpedition to Lord Howe
Island in October 2014. But that doesn't mean that nothing happened since
then. OK, the experience we gained with the last DXpeditions in preparing
and packing the sea freight makes it easier with the time. But nevertheless
it was again a huge amount of work to get all ready to go.
Nearly the whole team met in Goch at the great station of DR1A where we
packed all our equipment. Though we already have a good selection of radios,
amplifiers and antennas on our stock, there are always new ideas coming up
with each DXpedition which lead to even more equipment. So it was this time.
For the planned contest operation as well as for the normal DXpedition we
plan to set up two-radio setups which are sharing the available antennas.
Also the antenna planning needed some brainpower. For the high bands we will
use both horizontal and vertical polarized mono-band antennas for each band,
because they were available and because they minimize interferences between
the bands. Having a big field to set up antennas is good, but having the
shack at one end of the property, you need long cable runs to feed all the
antennas. Therefore over 1,500 metres of coax cable and another 1,400 metres
of control cable went into the boxes. At the end of the weekend we had over
3 tons of equipment packed in nearly 60 different boxes. They will now be
shipped from Germany to Australia mainland and further on to Lord Howe
Island. Be sure you don't miss the pictures in our gallery
(www.lordhowe2014.org/service/gallery/index.php).
We had one sad moment when Felix DL5XL had to tell us that he had to
cancel his participation due to his job commitments at that time. With him
we loose an excellent operator buddy!
More or less by chance we got in contact with Joerg DF7TH. He has already
been known to Dietmar DL3DXX and Gerd DJ5IW. They shared the operating seat
at XF4DL in 2006. Being a CW enthusiast he has been active from EI, TK, LX,
OD5, EA8 or IS0 in the past. Working as a freelancer in hardware and
software development, he found the time to join our group to follow to Lord
Howe Island. Having now three Joerg in the team, we decided to name them
after their callsign numbers: Joerg-6 (DF6JC), Joerg-7 (DF7TH) and Joerg-8
(DL8WPX). Sounds like fun when calling for a Joerg. So welcome to the team,
Joerg-7!
