79/14DX007 - Boracay Island OC-129 Welcome to the information page of 79/14DX007. This page is mainly made to offer log-search, and general information. Vincents visit to Boracay island had a dual purpose, first and foremost it was a short holiday trip, but with serious intentions of putting a new one on the air. Unfortunately propagation wasn't kind, please read the 79/14DX007 story below Find Boracay Island on Islands Base Online. Team 14DX007 Mr Vincent QSL-Manager DXRC Bureau E-mail to manager: Click . Activity schedule: 01/10/2008 to 06/10/2008: Boracay island (new one on 11m), valid for IOTA Ref OC-129. Equipment used: - antenna: Dipole - radio: Yaesu FT-857 - microphone: original - power: 100 Watt - logsystem: "in the log" Story: Hi All, I just come back from Boracay Island in Philippines (one of the most beautiful sandy beaches I've ever seen !! ( even better than in 90div or 257div ). But for my activity, zero propagation, I only heard 153div one evening (11h00utc) very low in the noise (compared to the 5/9 report from them when I was in 58div last month). I do not think a better station would have worked Europe. I'm so sorry to have not been able to make a single QSO, but I will try better next time. 73 de Vincent 14DX007 Pictures: Unfortunately no contacts were maybe due to zero propagation, so no need to show radio equipment pics, but here is just a few pictures to show the paradise island of Boracay.
