Barry Fletcher ZS1FJ-9V1FJ-ZL1MFW-G4MFW

 

Licensed in 1972 as ZS1FJ.  Also other permanent licences 9V1FJ, G4MFW and ZL1MFW.  Honour Roll for a number of years.  Awarded ICOM prize in ZS 2004.  Besides being an active DXer having worked some 335 countries, I am also an active DXpeditioner.

I have operated small self-funded DXpeditions in the following countries: Kermadec ZL8 as ZL8/G4MFW (1995)(Had I then had my later ZL licence I would have been ZL8MFW Pitcairn as VR6AB (now VP6) (1994) Tonga A35/ZS1FJ, Fiji 3D2/ZS1FJ, Gambier Islands FO/ZS1FJ, Jersey GJ4MFW, Liechtenstein HB0/G4MFW, United Nations in Geneva 4U1ITU and New York 4U1UN, St Martin FS/G4MFW, St Pierre & Miquelon FP/G4MFW.  A22DX Botswana was operative in 2001.

Followed in 2003 by a three man DXpedition to the various remoter islands of French Polynesia, namely Tubuai FO/G4MFW and Mangareva FO/G4MFW/P as well as Tahiti FO/G4MFW.  This DXpedition ended up on Great Barrier Island AS-201.  Also on the IOTA front, I was the leader of DXpeditions to NEW unnumbered African islands namely ZS23I Seal Island, ZS26BI Bird Island, Elephant Rock ZS31ER.  Other Islands in the late 90's included Great Barrier Island as ZL1MFW, Stewart Island ZL1MFW, etc.  Aborted DXpedition to Clipperton in 2000 as result of a request by the US team, which was scheduled for a similar date and as an act of ham spirit due to their team being much larger than our six members.  In 2007 operated Lesotho 7P8DX and 7P8/G4MFW at 11000ft elevation.
