Alex, EA8DBM / LY3UM, has been a well-known VHF- and EME operator for a very long time. About two years ago, he started his “One Man DXPeditions” and has activated more than 20 DXCC entities over 23cm EME to date.
This fall, Alex was active with his 2.4m foldable dish, initially from the Åland Islands as OH0/EA8DBM. From there, he traveled to Latvia (YL/EA8DBM) for a few days, then on to Lithuania, where Alex operated under his home call sign LY3UM. But this wasn’t enough, and he drove across Europe to the first 23cm activation from Albania (ZA/LY3UM). Even that wasn’t enough, so he went to Turkey for two nights, where he operated as TA1/EA8DBM.
Many thanks to Alex for his endless effort and patience, and of course, four new countries for my log.
