South Gobi Region, Mongolia JT4RR….

Mats, RM2D (SM6LRR), will be active as JT4RR from South Gobi Region, Mongolia, between March 20th and April 5th. He also mentions that sometime in March-April and in July-August, he is planning a few days of activity as JT4RR/P from the South Gobi Desert.

He states on QRZ.com [edited]: “It will not be a regular DX-pedition, but rather a bit of extreme portable operation, using Lab599 TX-500 Heavy Duty QRP-Transceiver with 5-10 watts (99% CW) and a vertical antenna with three elevated resonant radials on a DX Wire Mini glass-fiber pole.

Possibly, I will be able to use a 50W amplifier provided that I will find a suitable battery power source. Activity will be every 14 days on my day off from my work at the Oyu Tolgoi Copper & Gold Mine. After a month, it could be activity once per week. Most likely days of operations will be Sundays, but these second month on each Roster swing, Thursdays may be alternative days. I will be 10 weeks on site and 5 weeks home in Russia as it looks now. Normal Rosters are 4/2 weeks, but COVID changes that a bit to longer Rosters.

My QSL Manager will be Pedro, EA5GL. LoTW will also be used.”
