My QSO with 524AT/0

   These days, the Alfa Tango DX group's previously announced expedition, led by an experienced team, launched to the highly coveted African country of DXCC on the 11-meter band under the callsign 524AT/0. The country's identity is being kept secret for the duration of the expedition, which has caused considerable excitement among operators worldwide. A large number of people wanted to work 524AT/0, which led to difficulties establishing radio contact. Initially, I made numerous attempts, and efforts to establish a QSO, but all of them yielded no results. On November 27, 2025 at 07:57 UTC, after several more unsuccessful attempts, I finally managed to establish a QSO with 524AT/0, exchanging 59/59 reports, which I was very pleased about. So, now we await the end of the expedition, after which we will learn the real country of the DX expedition's arrival.

Aldo Memorial 2025

   On November 1st, and 2nd, 2025, the annual Aldo Memorial, organized by the AT DX group, took place. This time, propagation on the 11-meter band wasn't quite good, and there were some very challenging long-range QSOs in my QTH. Nevertheless, I managed to conduct 35 QSOs from 17 countries. I would like to note the QSOs with such SES as 172AT001, 5AT001, 153AT001, 91AT001/A, 91AT001/L and 91AT001/O. In this case, I consider this a good result for me. Regardless, the 2025 Aldo Memorial took place, and now we will eagerly await the next Aldo Memorial in 2026.
