DXPeditions Page...

I can't say enough good stuff about NG3K's Announced DX Operations page on the web. It has really helped me keep up with DXPeditions and raise my country count. There's a link under most calls listed, that will automatically take you to DX spots for them, info on where to find more info, the approximate schedule dates, and loads of other info. If you're into DXing, be sure to bookmark it, and keep the page pulled up in the background...lots of info in one spot for DX hunting. I have it linked in the [DX Tools] section of my personal site, but you can get to it directly at https://www.ng3k.com/Misc/adxo.html

ROLDX DXCluster Node, Rolesville NC

I've made a couple of changes to the node, so it can now be reached via the W4RAL-7 packet node on 147.54, if you wish to connect to the DXCluster via packet radio.

Connect to W4RAL-7 on 147.54 in Zebulon. Type:

C W4RAL-7

Next, connect to W4RAL-5 by typing:

C W4RAL-5

That is a multiport node near Roleaville. Once connected, type:

C 4 ROLDX VIA WB4IUY-3

That will connect you to the ROLDX DXCluster node on my home tower. Give it a minute to send everything to you before you proceed. You should get a message back that looks like this:

ROLDX:WB4IUY} DX Connect Bye Info Nodes Routes Ports Users MHeard

You're there! Type DX and hit enter. If you've never connected, it'll ask you a few basic questions (your name, location, and such). Once completed, it'll always remember you and you'll see the DX Spots rolling through.

The DXCluster node ROLDX has been operating on my home tower about 4 years. Users within range of my station can connect directly to it by switching directly to 145.07 and connecting to ROLDX. Using the W4RAL-7 node in Zebulon will allow those who are somewhat farther away to connect.

Have fun!
