The S92CW / S92DX Operation

We operated from the 5 star Hotel Miramar, which is in the city of Sao Tome. The staff there supported us in every way. Without them, antenna setup would have been impossible. Sao Tome is "SA-023" in the "Islands On The Air" reference.

There were two independent stations running: one for 6m with an Icom IC-706 and the HF station with an IC-706 MKII. Each rig had its own Astron swiching power supply (one model SS-25M and one SS-30).

The antennas consisted of an Cushcraft A3S at 10m and a 30m inverted V with the top sitting at 15m of a VDL fibre mast and a 5 element for 6m on top of an 8m alumium mast.
 

Logging was done using 2 Pentium II Color Notebooks. S92CW had 2 logbooks HF (contest and DXpedition), S92DX one 6m log and one HF log.
