TU7C – DXpedition to Ivory Coast by F6KOP Radio Club DL3GA's story
In late December 2016, I receive an invitation for a DXpedition to Bouvet. But it's supposed to happen already in January, causing conflicts in my calendar, so I have to decline. After all, this expedition didn't take place. However, I am ready for another radio trip. The F6KOP team is seeking CW operators for an activation of Ivory Coast, TU. The intended period (March 2017) matched perfectly and a few e-mails later I'm on. Soon after that, Kenneth OZ1IKY completes the team. An e-mail reflector is setup and gets busy with discussions about the best equipment for the top band. Valuable info comes from DJ9RR and DJ7JC who have just worked as TU5MH from the same place that we booked. They installed a beverage using parts of the neighbor's estate, but next day it was removed and disposed of... We had a similar plan, so we have to find a new solution. TU5MH achieved many QSOs but after the loss of the Beverage the low bands could not be serviced as planned. We plan to focus on 160 and 80m as much as we can. A trip to Ivory Coast requires a visa. It's easy to obtain, just apply online and pick it up upon arrival in Abidjan airport. However, our flight will arrive rather late in the evening and we don't want to risk problems with this procedure. The only alternative for me is a trip to Berlin, visiting the embassy. OK, so I get to Berlin for the first time, but weather and time don't allow for much sightseeing.
___ Thursday, March 9, 2017 Deutsche Bahn and TGV take me to Marne la Vallee on time, but the connecting TGV to Charles de Gaulle is late. It's only a ten minute ride, but it starts 20 minutes behind schedule. The entire rest of the team is already there, so we proceed to check-in directly after my arrival. In spite of agreements, the airline wants to charge 300 dollars for each of our antenna pipes. But we can avoid that after some discussion. The flight with a Boeing 777 is slightly late but uneventful. We clear formalities without problems, but two of our bags are not here. We load the present luggage into a Land Cruiser, while the team boards a minivan. The roads to our QTH start with a 6-lane highway in Abidjan and end with a dirt road along the coast to the “Maison de la Lagune”. We arrive at 22:00 and get a local dinner with refreshing beer. Then it's high time for some sleep.
___ Friday, March 10, 2017 After breakfast, we start working on the antennas. I help Kenneth with the 160m inverted L. It's up at lunchtime, but has no radials yet. It's quite hot, so we enjoy lunch at the restaurant in the shade and light breeze. While another team installs the radials, Kenneth and I erect the 80m vertical. Eventually the team gathers in the shack to discuss the situation. The missing bags have not arrived yet, so we can't use amps or band filters. We decide to try operation on three bands which have maximum distance between antennas, and it works well. I have the honor to run 30m. Thanks to skimmer technology, only my first CQ remains unheard. The first pileup is quite strong, but many takers don't seem to hear that I call them – maybe a result of my barefoot signal. On the other hand, I can log several stations from Japan, North and South America. But after some time, no more signals are clearly audible, so I join the others at the restaurant and have dinner. F2DX continues a little later and works more Japan and USA alternately. Later I hear that 80m worked very well, even though he had to listen on the vertical. After some chat with Damien (it's his birthday on his very first DXpedition), I go to bed. The antenna works in the heat have been quite exhausting, so I fall asleep soon.
___ Saturday, March 11, 2017 I don't sleep well – the air conditioner doesn't cool and its wind doesn't hit me, so I sweat a lot. Kenneth doesn't wake me up but performs my shift instead - I'm not angry. In the morning, the QSO count has already exceeded 2000 and climbs quickly, now that four stations are on the air. I relax until my next shift begins around lunchtime. Taking over from Kenneth, I stay on 17m and work stations from western Asia to central USA. Several short power outages take us off the air. Apparently, the restaurant's kitchen gets ready for the weekend rush, and in combination with our consumption this is too much for the fuses... Lunch is delicious: A whole fish with fried potatoes and banana, couscous and a cold beer. I notice some insect bites, they don't look like caused by mosquitoes but itch no less. Kenneth reports that he was not very lucky on 160m, so I change to 40m when it's time for my evening shift. I hear plenty of callers from Europe, but also some from Japan. After one hour, sunrise in Japan is only another hour away, so I ask Europe to QRX and accept only takers from Japan, China and Korea. This works well, although some stations from Europe still call in between. Dinner is a chicken curry tonight, preceded by a great Whiskey.	DL3GA and the 160m vertical antenna
___ Sunday, March 12, 2017 Franck F5TVG is suffering “Montezuma's revenge” and Pat F2DX rearranges the nightly shift plan to compensate that. I start at 05:00 and take over from Kenneth on time. I stay on 40m and work mostly North America with many impressive signals from the west coast. After one hour, I run out of callers and check 160m because it's our sunrise. But I can hear only the CQing 5U5R and work him. So I change to 20m for our first CW QSOs on that band. I hear some contest stations in the lower part, so I call way up to stay clear of them. In no time, a tremendous pileup builds. After almost three hours of high rate operation, I'm grateful for Patrick's arrival. But a good breakfast and some rest, and I'm ready for more. Four hours later, I find the CW station still on 20m, working a good rate. In two hours operation, I add another 300 QSOs – mostly Europe with first callers from North America. After that, I help Kenneth with the K9AY antenna. The ops were not satisfied with the Beverage on ground during the night, hopefully the K9AY will work better. After some rest and a delicious dinner, I take over from Kenneth at 23:00 on 160m. He says it was difficult because often only half a callsign is audible while the other half is in the noise. I can push the QSO count over 300, but then all signals get too faint for QSOs although sunrise is still hours away. I can continue on 30m and log numerous calls that I already worked on 160m earlier. Patrick comes to take over, but he looks very very tired. He says he could hardly sleep, but he'd try his best. Working 160m was rather exhausting, so I sleep well this night.
___ Monday, March 13, 2017 I wake up on time for breakfast and after that I have a two hour shift. The conditions on 15m are good for a pileup 3 kHz wide. After one hour it's down to 2 kHz, but at the end its 3 kHz wide again. Franck feels better today, he takes over. Now that the weekend is over, the restaurant is rather empty, but lunch is still delicious. We are also alone in the pool and spontaneously hold the “strategic meeting” for the coming night here. Franck is now catching up operating time, so I have extra time to relax. At 22:00, I take over from Kenneth and continue working on 80m. Although listening on the vertical antenna, this band is much more fun than 160m. Some callers don't come back although I give them a report several times. DQRM on my transmit frequency ? I don't find comments about this in our cluster spots later. Eventually I QSY from 3510 to 3515 kHz which works better. At the end, I work almost exclusively North America. Patrick comes to take over and changes to 160m. He lifts the QSO count over 500 and cluster reports attests that we create a good signal tonight. That's top band – one night it works fine, another night it doesn't...	The main “House at the Lagoon”
___ Tuesday, March 14, 2017 I didn't sleep really well but after a cozy breakfast I'm ready for action. I take over from Franck on 17m and find the pileup rather strong for a Tuesday. However, I hardly hear anyone after the two hour shift. Patrick is arriving late, he's suffering a bad cold and doesn't look good, but he's giving it a try. I take some rest in the pool and stroll across the resort. In the afternoon, a thunderstorm passes by and brings pouring rain. All stations go QRT for a while until it's gone. The air seems to be a little cooler now, but in return it's extremely humid. During Franck's absence, we had rearranged the schedule of the CW station and actually we never really returned to the original plan. This evening I find that I have no more shift until next morning – an amazing 18 hour break. So I have an extra beer with dinner (I need to mention that it is delicious again) and a good-night glass of Whiskey in the shack. Just when I get up to leave, Patrick says that he desperately needs a break. Great... Kenneth is asleep and Franck is not available for operation at this daytime. So it's either me or nobody... I work Europe on 40m but I'm not at all happy with the discipline. So I switch to Japan only, it's their sunrise anyway. I keep working them until two hours after their sunset tonight, amazing...
___ Wednesday, March 15, 2017 I absolve another exhausting shift in the early morning and start noticing some lack of sleep. But we keep the QSO counters climbing. The log is uploaded to ClubLog and its statistics prove that we added 6000 QSOs every day up to now. In the evening I notice that my digestion is no longer working smoothly. I can hardly sleep before the night shift, nor afterwards. Working on 160m is hard as usual, but I'm happy with the results. At 930 QSOs on this band, I hand over to the next op. ___ Thursday, March 16, 2017 My day shift runs mostly on 15m. I check 10m from time to time, but this band allows only a few QSOs with Mediterranean countries. In my spare time, I try some sports today. I do my muscular training program before it gets too hot, but it costs a lot of sweat anyway. I reward myself with some lanes in the pool.	F2DX running TU7C in CW
__ Friday, March 17, 2017 In his night shift, Kenneth pushes the 160m QSO count way over 1000. Conditions are decent, so I can add another 70 before the band dies out at daybreak. I continue on 30m and surprisingly work many stations from Japan. Propagation prediction doesn't even list it, so I tell others about it – maybe we can take advantage of it again? I enjoy breakfast but can hardly eat at lunch – although everyone calls it delicious, as usual. I almost vomit on the way back to our lodge, Montezuma has come over me. I spend the rest of the day sleeping or dozing. Good timing: the compressor of our air condition unit is repaired today, I appreciate the cool air. I start taking medicine against diarrhea. I omit dinner and the other CW ops fill the time of my night shift.
___ Saturday, March 18, 2017 Kenneth reports that he was able to push the 160m QSO count over 1300, but conditions were not really favorable. But Patrick reports that he actually had a great time on the 80m band due to good conditions. I'm certainly feeling hungry, so I take a shower and go for breakfast. I can't eat the usual amount but it feels good. I get a shift at 11:00 but “only” the 12m band – conditions allow only few QSOs with southern Europe and many of them are dupes. After some time I can trade bands with Frank. 20m works much better, a nice pileup builds quickly but I can keep it reasonably small. At 12:00, I quit because the Russian DX Contest begins and my frequency is instantly taken over by big guns with their dah-dit-diddledi-dah (“test”) calls. I try calling on 14111, but nobody comes back – apparently nobody checks skimmer spots either. I can only go back to 12m for a few more QSOs. The restaurant is rather busy today, many locals have arrived to enjoy the day and the delicious food. I manage to eat up lunch, a whole fish – yummy! We decide that we will remove the first antennas tonight, especially the low bands which we expect to be filled with contest traffic. But then we abandon this plan and this turns out to be the right decision! I start my evening shift on 30m with wobbly signals from North America, Europe and Japan at the same time. Later, 160m is more than full so I try on 80m just below the PSK range with good results. At midnight, Patrick takes over and with the help of the ON4KST chatroom he finds a good frequency.
___ Sunday, March 19, 2017 Patrick reports excellent top band conditions during this shift, the final QSO count is now way over 1600 on this band. After breakfast, I run another shift on 15m (on 21061, well above the contest tumult) and pass it on to Patrick later. He and Franck stay on this frequency until TU7C's final QRT around 14:00. I help dismantling antennas and coiling coax while the F6KOP crew packs everything for optimal baggage weights and sizes. I spend most of the remaining time with Kenneth, finally I pack my own belongings and take a last shower. Dinner is small today, so we drink more (rosé wine). Soon after that, the Rover and the minivan arrive to take us to the airport. We load everything into the vehicles, say a hearty good-bye to the resort staff and start our trip. But Murphy strikes: the dirt road has many pits filled with loose sand and our minivan gets stuck in one of them. Unloading the car and pushing doesn't help. It takes the support of some locals using planks to re-mobilize us. We buy the planks, which is a good idea because the minivan hits another sand pit, but this time we are prepared. Once back on stable roads, we reach the airport without further problems. Of course, our amount of baggage is reason for more discussions at check-in, but we are well in time for the flight. On board, I believe that we use a Boeing 777 again, but the huge size of the overhead bins puzzles me. Surprise surprise, we have boarded an Airbus 380!	One of the lodges, in front of the 6m beam
A smooth flight takes us back to Paris. We clear the usual stations without problems, only the baggage claim seems to take forever. But nothing is missing this time and we have enough buffer time. A small F6KOP delegation takes care about the equipment and we finally say good-bye and begin our individual trips home. A TGV takes Jean-Luc and me to western France. After a lengthy stopover at Strasbourg, I arrive home at two PM. Looking back, it was a very nice trip.
Sincere thanks to the F6KOP team for making it possible. Thanks also to the crew of the “Maison de la Lagune”, especially the restaurant crew!
