20/10/2023 :
We received information, that the Aesean tour is not ended yet, but as it is the Monsoon rainy season the circumstances can be hard to get somewhere, so please understand this situation ! Roads are totally different then e.g. in Europe.

We are informed that QSL’s for sponsors are written and ready to be sent out soon !

So stay tuned, we hope to have more information soon.

13IR102 Lars ended first part of his ASEAN Tour 2023, last night and the surprise activation was 237IR/0.

We like to thank Lars for all his effort to be active from a rare DXCC. Circumstances were not that easy for him with a bad start due to a problem with the power supply, but after all, 600 QSO’s in just 5 days is absolutely nice.

He will start in september from Thailand first and will use 153IR102 first.

Then later on, he will move to Cambodia (238IR/0), Laos (239IR/0), Vietnam (242IR/0) and at last a surprise highlight?? (xxxIR/0).
