First ever Svalbard QO-100 DXpedition JW100QO
Summary
A DXpedition to Svalbard (78° North) is planned for April 19-26 with the callsign JW0X. ON4CKM Cedric, ON4DCU Patrick and ON5UR Max will make a rugged snowmobile ride of almost 100 km in temperatures of -20° – 25° Celsius to reach their goal. Kapp Linné is the only place in the area that allows a view of the QO-100 satellite at only 3° above the horizon. Svalbard also lies on the edge of the satellite area (footprint), which makes the challenge even greater. QO-100 geostationary amateur satellite transponder provides coverage from Brazil to Thailand, see https://amsat-uk.org/satellites/geo/eshail-2/
