Amateur radio expeditions, commonly known as DXpeditions, are associated by all amateurs with the signs OH2BH, ZL1AMO, OH1RY, SM0AGD, VK9NS, JA1BK, let me name those better known. One of the pioneers of DX expeditions were famous: Gus Browning W4BPD and Danny Weil VP2VB. Then for whole years we were excited by expeditions by Iris and Lloyd Colvin - W6QL and W6KG. For me these people have always been role models, as they have given a lot of emotions and happiness to the whole ham society, enabling us all to make long-distance communication with the white spots on the map.
On the following pages you may read about several expedition to places, which are not often visited by tourists. I begin with a description of several SP9FIH & company expeditions: Aland Islands SP9FIH/OH0, Austral Islands FO0WEG, Marquesas Islands FO/SP9FIH and FO0POM, Tonga A35WE, Nepal 9N7WE, but I hope, soon will be more!
