A DXpedition to Svalbard (78\u00b0 North) is planned for April 19-26 with the callsign JW0X. In addition to the five HF stations (FT8\/FT4\/RTTY\/SSB\/CW) the team will activate the first QO-100 satellite DX Station callsign JW100QO April 22-24.<\/p>\n
Making the first ever QO-100 calls from Svalbard is the biggest challenge of this DXpedition. ON4CKM Cedric, ON4DCU Patrick and ON5UR Max will make a rugged snowmobile ride of almost 100 km in temperatures of -20\u00b0 \u2013 25\u00b0 Celsius to reach their goal. Kapp Linn\u00e9 is the only place in the area that allows a view of the QO-100 satellite at only 3\u00b0 above the horizon. Svalbard also lies on the edge of the satellite area (footprint), which makes the challenge even greater. We want to give as many radio amateurs as possible the opportunity to work this first QO-100 DXpedition. For this unique challenge we also have a special callsign JW100QO.<\/p>\n
