(R BULGARIA DX MIX News, Ivo Ivanov, via wwdxc BC-DX Dec 10)
DIEGO GARCIA VQ9, CHAGOS ISLANDS. Jim, ND9M, informs OPDX that he will
be returning to Diego Garcia this week (ETA 12th December) for another
four month tour and will resume operating as VQ9JC. Jim states, "My ship
will be leaving the island in a few weeks, so I don't know yet how much of
my four months will be spent there; hopefully we will return in August or
Sept 2008. But there's a possibility that the ship will be reassigned to
another port; if that happens, this would likely be my final chance to put
out VQ9. If I'm still there in late March, I will try to get another
special prefix callsign issued for temporary use around the CQ WPX SSB
Contest. The local licensing authority was very receptive to my request in
2007 and were kind enough to issue me VQ97JC for a two-week period; with
luck, they will do it again. Operating time tends to run about 85% CW, 10%
SSB, and 5% digital and is mainly on 10-80 meters.
I must take a boat from my ship (where I am one of the few remaining Radio
Officers) to the island where the ham shack is located and usually cannot
be QRV before 1200Z. (Local time is UT +6 all year.) In order to be on the
boat back to the ship, I must QRT by 1630Z on Sundays through Thursday,
and by 1730Z on Fridays and Saturdays, although I will occasionally stay
overnight to work early morning DX. Even if I do stay overnight, I have to
QRT by about 0050Z to make the boat in time to be at my job by 0200Z. (Ops
should keep in mind that I'm there on a work assignment; it's not a
vacation holiday!)"
QSL via ND9M (ex-WB9IHH); either by the bureau or direct is OK. Jim's XYL
will forward direct requests to him every three weeks or so, but mail
