DX Pedition to Camiguin Island, Philippines IOTA OC-235

My name is Kouichi Ueno (JI1FGX/DU9), and I live on Mindanao Island (IOTA OC-130) in the Philippines.

I moved from Japan to Mindanao 15 years ago and currently operate on 7, 14, 18, 21, 24, 28, and 50 MHz frequencies.

On September 19, 2024, I became the first in the Philippines to receive the IOTA 100 Award, and I am currently applying for DXCC 150.

I am planning a DX Pedition to Camiguin Island (IOTA OC-235), and if this expedition is realized, it will be the first 50 MHz activation from Camiguin Island.


  • I am planning a DX IOTA expedition from Camiguin Island.
    If realized, it will be the first 50 MHz activation from the island.
  • For the on-air frequencies, I plan to use a HexBeam antenna, allowing operation on six bands: 14, 18, 21, 24, 28, and 50 MHz.
  • Camiguin Island is a small island located to the north of Mindanao in southern Philippines, designated as OC-235 in the IOTA (Islands On The Air) program. Accessing Camiguin from Ozamiz City on Mindanao Island requires about nine hours by land and ferry, making it quite challenging to reach from other major areas. This isolation gives Camiguin great value for IOTA chasers.

    Notably, there has been no amateur radio activity recorded from Camiguin Island on the 50 MHz band. This band has strict propagation constraints, making it difficult for signals to reach distant areas. Establishing 50 MHz activity from Camiguin would provide an exceptionally rare and exciting new opportunity for IOTA chasers around the world.

  • This IOTA expedition is planned for April to June, when conditions on the 50 MHz band are favorable.
  • Required Equipment and Costs:

    • Transceiver: FT-891 - $476
    •   HexBeam: - $1,000 
    • Accommodation (5 nights): $430
    • Food (for 4 people): $640
    • Ferry and Transportation: $200
    • Miscellaneous: $500

    TOTAL : $3,246

I will make it a priority to pick up donors in FT8 mode

 

フィリピン カミギン島 IOTA OC-235でのDXペディション計画

私は上野浩一(JI1FGX/DU9)ともうします

フィリピン・ミンダナオ島(OC-130)に住んでいます。15年前に日本からミンダナオ島に移住しました。

現在、7MHz、14MHz、18MHz、21MHz、24MHz、28MHz、50MHzで活動しています。

2024年9月19日には、フィリピンで初めてIOTA 100アワードを受賞しました。現在、DXCC150の申請中です。

 

今回は、カミギン島からのIOTA DXペディションを計画しています。 もしも実現すれば、50MHzでの初のオンエアになります 。

ONAIRする周波数はHexBeameを使用する予定ですので 14、18、21、24、28、50MHzの6BAND を予定しています。

 

カミギン島は、フィリピン南部のミンダナオ島の北方に位置する小さな島で、IOTA(Islands On The Air)ではOC-235として分類されています。ミンダナオ島からは陸路とフェリーで約9時間移動、他のエリア主要からのアクセスも非常に難しい場所です。そのため、IOTAチェイサーにとってカミギン島は非常に貴重な存在です。

 

特に、これまでカミギン島から50MHz帯でのアマチュア無線のオンエア実績が全くありません。50MHzは伝播条件の判断が大きく、遠距離まで電波を届けることが難しいバンドです。実現すれば、世界中のIOTAチェイサーにとって非常に貴重でエキサイティングな機会となります。

このIOTAペディションは、50MHzの検討が良好な4月から6月にかけて予定しています。

必要な機材と費用

  • 無線機 :FT-891 - 70,000円
  • アンテナ : HexBeam - 150,000円
  • 宿泊費(5泊) : 64,500円
  • 食費(4人分) : 96,000円
  • フェリーおよび交通費 :30,000円
  • 雑費 : 75,000円

合計金額 : 485,500円

寄付をいただいた方はFT8モードにて優先的にピックアップすることを心掛けます
