UPDATE 11/5/2013 - QSOs completed with JA, VU, VK etc. I am using Digipan, so you can transmit up to 1KHz high of my frequency and I can do a 'split' QSO.
UPDATE MAY 11TH 2013 - I am now in Kawthaung, Myanmar. Please look for my signal on 20mb PSK-31. You can check QSOs and request QSLs from my online log at http://www.myradioclub.org/xz1k/
11/5/2013 - LOTW is not yet available. I submitted documents to the ARRL for DXCC approval and LOTW account on 30/4/13, (by courier service from Yangon), but although the package is shown as delivered to the ARRL I have had no feedback. If/when I am allocated an LOTW account, I will upload to LOTW for requested QSLs.
UPDATE MAY 1ST 2013 - During the months of May and June 2013, I MAY operate XZ1K from Tanintharyi State. I will only operate on PSK-31, according to when I have free time. From 1st July, I will be working in Laos, but I will try to return each holiday to re-activate XZ1K
QSL INFORMATION - QSLs will only be available via online verification. There is of course, no bureau in Myanmar and I will have no permanent address there. I will mail out a hard-copy QSL for each QSO verification. SWLs may also submit their reception reports.
In May 2012, after working as a teaching volunteer at a local orphanage in Tanintharyi State, south Myanmar, I applied to the military commander of that state and was granted the amateur radio call-sign of XZ1K, for use within that region.
I subsequently operated for a short while on 10m SSB during May 2012, and achieved QSOs with many Asian stations.
In April 2012, I left Tanintharyi State for a new teaching position in Yangon, and so I was no longer able to operate XZ1K.
Here are some photos taken at that time where I presented items to the orphanage kids that have been purchased with funds donated by several radio amateurs
