Vincent, F4BKV, is back on the air as XW4KV from Vang Vieng, Laos. According to his post on QRZ, the station had some serious fire/burning on October 20th, 2024, but thanks to a generous ham that donated several parts, the station was rebuilt with a better setup, and is back on the air. The station has limited antennas, and a better setup will be in place mid-April. Vincent has been on 60M FT8. QSL via F4BKV direct or ClubLog's OQRS.

The DX Mentor Podcast

By Bill Salyers


The DX Mentor podcast is directed towards any amateur radio operator (Ham) or Short Wave Listener (SWL) who has an interest in listening to or communicating with stations that are not in your country, or DX. There have already been many episodes with more in the future, and I think you'll find them quite interesting.
