K6TOP (Ex K6ZS, KG6WI, FO0GRA, XE2HQF, WB6ZNY, first licensed as WN6UQS in 1965)

My home QTH is located in the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains in northern CA at elevation 1800'. I operate mostly CW and enjoy chasing DX with an Icom 706 running 100W to an R7 vertical.

I also operate from the British Virgin Islands, several times a year while vacationing there. My next VP2V operation will be in December (2012).

See below for VP2V updates.

December 14, 2012 VP2V Update

• The logs were uploaded to LotW today
• 378 QSOs total, all CW
• 49 DXCC countries

I was only able to operate 1-2 hours a day (as usual), between family activities.  A total of 378 QSOs were made - 190 QSOs on 20 with the rest evenly spread over 17, 15 and 12M

73,

Kevin, K6TOP

December 3, 2012 VP2V Update

I have been able to operate1-2 hours a day. mostly in the morning and early afternnoon here. Propagation isn't very good, but had some good runs on 20, 15 and 12. This afternnon, I loaded up the 20M dipole on 17M and worked a few dozen QSOs. mostly US. I was suprised to get out at all!

I plan to operate the ARRL 10M contest ths weekend (12/7-9). I will be joined by my good friend Cliff, K6CLS. We wll be using the call VP2VGG

July 31, 2012 VP2V Update

• The July logs were uploaded to LotW on 7/31
• 516 QSOs total, all CW
• 60 DXCC countries

Another great trip to the British Virgin Islands! We spent family time at the beaches, sailing, snorkeling and scuba diving. And a couple hours of radio a day for me. 10M and 12M were completely dead this trip, no answers to multiple CQs and 15M was in poor shape. 90% of my contacts were made on 20M which had some decent openings to NA and EU. Tthere was only a brief opening to JA and VK/ZL late one eveneing. On the next trip I will make a special effort to work Asia and VK/ZL. No 40M this time, the 40M vertical and radials need some work.

Kevin, K6TOP

July 17, 2012 VP2V Update

I will be operating as VP2V/K6TOP from July 20-26 while vacationing on Tortola, British Virgin Islands:

• Equipment: ICOM 706 MKII, 100 watts, 40M vertical, 20/15/10 multiband dipole.
• I work CW almost exclusively

My operating hours are typically 0200-0400Z and 1000-1200Z due to family commitments

• QSLs via LOTW preferred, logs will be uploaded upon return
• When the pileups get difficult, I listen to the edges, so please spread your calls out.
• This is a 'vacation style' DXpedition, thanks for your patience!

73 and GL,

Kevin.

July 13 - QSLs for April 2012 operation

• On 7/13 the last QSLs were mailed out for the April VP2V operation

April 19, 2012 VP2V Update

• April logs were uploaded to LotW on 4/19
• 615 QSOs total (586 CW, 29 SSB)
• 66 DXCC countries

I found that band conditions were poorer than last December, the SF was only in 90s vs. 130. Also, QSB was very pronounced on 20M and 12M this time. S5 signals would drop right down to S0 in a few seconds which made it difficult to complete some QSOs. The WX was very rainy for 3 days and the 40M antenna's feedline got waterlogged so I was able to make just a few QSOs on 40M. The dipole came down in a windy squall late in the week and I had to resolder the feedpoint connections and put it back up. I was able to load up the multi-band (20/15/10) dipole on 12M using a tuner and make many QSOs on that band. I am impressed on how well it gets out considering the center is at only 30' and the ends at 18'! All in all a very good VP2V vacation with lots of snorkeling, scuba, beaches, sailing, rum and radio!

Thanks for your patience in the pileups! My next VP2V operation is planned to July 2012.

73, Kevin.

I'm a LoTW user.

Take a look at the pictures below.

I will be in Fernando de Noronha Island between days 15 to 24 January/2013, as a holiday with my family, but I will be on the air as PY0F/PP1CZ. I will try 160 and 80 Meters Bands and some RTTY in the other Bands, as well as CW and SSB Modes too. Hope to see you from there. QSL via home call.

My shame antennas in PY0F/PP1CZ, improvised, but working.

That is my work conditions here in PY0F/PP1CZ.

I put the radio inside the roon, and that is the way I'm not doing SSB,

or else I will disturb my family when they are sleeping.

My previous QSL card.

Take a look at this video about Espirito Santo, my land:

http://youtu.be/oz5nNmqWk9Q

Thank you for visiting my qrz.com and see the pictures, hope you enjoy it!

I do answer QSLs via the Bureau, direct or LoTW.

Amplifiers: Acom 2000A, Yaesu FL 2100Z and Kenwood TL 922.

Beacon on 6 Meters Band uses an Icom IC 746, running 5 Watts into a 5/8 of wave Vertical.

I started as amateur radio in back 1983. My former call was PU1AAJ. I did some DX-Peditions and operations, as follows:

- Trindade Island - PY0T, using the call ZZ0TA in1990,with my friend Patrick, PP1BG (SK).

- Fernando de Noronha Island - PY0F, in 1991, using the call PP0F, with my friend Kazik, DJ0MCZ in CQWW SSB Contest. This call was usedin 1995 with my friend Bell, PY1YT (now PY1EO). I also used the call PY0F/PP1CZ in 1992, 1994 and 1996.

- Fernando de Noronha Island - PY0F, 1992, using the call PU0F in the CQWW SSB Contest, with an excelente group of friends: Claudio, PY2KP - Peter, PY5CC (now PP5XX), Andre, PY0FF (our host), and me.

- Três Ilhas (IOTA SA 067) in 1994 using the call ZZ1CZ. This was the first operation from this IOTA Group Islands.

- Abrolhos Archipelago (IOTA SA 019) as PY0B and PY0A in 1994.

- Itaparica Island (IOTA SA 023) as PY6/PP1CZ in 1991.

- Some special calls I use in the past are: ZZ1CZ, ZW1CZ, PP4P, PR100/PP1CZ, PY500B, PW1Z, ZZ1AA, ZV1CZ.

- I also operated from other Countries as DJ/PP1CZ and LX/PP1CZ/P.

- I was the CW operator of the PT150FD, celebrating the 150th aniversary of the Rio de Janeiro Fire Department, in July 2011. The SSB Operator was Rony - PS7AB. Manager is PS7AB, both CW and SSB.

Next October a group of brazilians will activate the Western Kiribati, as T30PY (HF) and T30SIX (6 Meters Band. I will take part of the team. Please, take a look and suport this DX-Pedition: www.mdxc.org/t30py

We have an interesting Diplom in Brazil, called DIB - Brazilian Islands Award.That is very easy to have this Award: you have to work at least 20 Brazilian Islands. Take a look in the DIB valid Island at:http://www.aei.radioamador.org.br/dib.htm

One of the most interesting amateur radio competition, is The DX-Marathon. Promoted by the CQ Magazine, the DX-Marathon is one of the greatest idea to encourage the DX around the world. It is interesting and exciting just because it is quite simple. Every year you have to work every Country and CQ Zones again - you will start evething from zero. Eventhough the most easy Country to you, became to be an interesting new one at the firts day of January of each year. It has separated classes, since the big guns or a small pistol. Take a look athttp://www.dxmarathon.com/

In Brazil we have a interesting scoreboard to the DX-Marathon, where all competitors show their scores during all year long. Everyone are invited and encouraged to show their scores on it. It is open to all amateur radio of the world, and not only to brazilian Hams. Look at: http://maratona.gadx.org Since we haven't an english version of this site yet, if you have some doubt, send me an e-mail and I will help you to became registered. Once you are registered you can upload your results and change your score every time you work a new Country or Zone in the corrent year, fast and easy. Come to join us!

See you on the Bands.
