Welcome to our website,We are DX'ers that offer professional
use of radio for the enjoyment of all and to the benefit of our hobby.
We thought we could
tell
you
a little about ourselves,We both started to DX many
years ago from our QTH'S around 25km
south of Sydney,We live close by and have the same
passion for DX and travel so we decided to team up,If possible we try to activate as a team or solo whenever we go around Australia or the world,We always try to find something new to activate and have many new activations planned for the future,Getting time off work and the cost are our only barriers.

regularly take, Depending on location and
needs.

generators
Bits and
pieces:coax,soldering
gear,connectors,wire,rope,poles,fuses,
U bolts,tools etc
We can take lots of equipment but we only need what
is necessary practical and lightweight to take depending
on the journey undertaken. But we
always take plenty of coax and various spare parts for
makeshift repairs in case something does go
wrong as most of the time there no
shops to purchase anything that is needed.
Moments we
have encounted on the light side of life.
Hair raising flights
in small aircraft,nearly hitting trees due to wind and mad
pilots
Power blackouts in the middle of
pileups
Fuel shortage for generators "aaahhh
cant DX"
No food on some locations,rations
only
Luggage overweight problems, be nice and
we always get though!
Antennas not fit in small
aircraft
Rained out then attacked by
leeches
Freezing nights
Kicked out of hotels due to DXing
noise
Kicked out of National parks due to noise from
generator by Rangers
No
propagation
We like everyone have come across
these problems, Some could be expected but they
mostly are not and really they are not too good
when they occur, But when you look back and remember you
can have a good laugh with a story to tell.
Some of our hobbies/sports we have tried or still doing
I
think between us we have tried a few different
things,The way to look at it is if one of us wont try it
the other will.
