Malcolm will visit me soon on next friday. So far condx have been very poor until recently and he only managed a few QSOs fighting against the solar weather. Things are improving slowly and there is still hope for good DX.
Here a picture he sent.

XV1LC and XV2LC in November
Malcom VK6LC will operate from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in November. More details to come later.
XV4LC from Vinh Long
Malcolm VK6LC will be active from the delta between April 19-24th. Only 17 and 20m CW/SSB.
XV2LC
Malcolm de VK6LC will be active from Viet-Nam once again. He is planning to be on the air from December the 2nd to the 8th on 20, 17 and 12m. Have fun Malcolm!
XV4LC now active from Mekong Delta
Malcolm (VK6LC) has been heard yesterday on 20 meters. He will have a few days for radio during this holiday trip in Viet-Nam.
XV2LC, XV4LC reduced activity
During his antenna set up in Ho Coc, Malcolm has got his leg injured. He had to go to the hospital for check-up and treatment in order to prevent the wound being infected.
After reducing his operating time in Ho Coc, he is now enjoying some rest so he will recover quicker. Some radio activity is still possible from Ho Chi Minh City or Can Tho, but no schedule can be planned.
XV2LC will soon start operation from Ho Coc
Malcolm will soon be in Ho Coc, in the Ho Chi Minh City nearby province of Ba Ria – Vung Tau. He had enjoyed delightful pile-ups from Saigon were conditions on 20m were fair. His setup in XV2A HCMC station was good but industrial and human activities related QRM was far stronger than the years before, making traffic sometime exhausting.
Operations in Ho Coc should start from tuesday in the evening or wednesday. Malcolm will focus on lower bands and CW, installing inverted V for 160m and 80m… He will also have a vertical for 20m. Enjoy DX!
XV2LC now on the air
Malcolm has starting his operation from Ho Chi Minh City and was having great time in pile-ups from North America, Australia, Japan and Europe. He needs time to make some maintenance to XV2A (Ai) station so the 1kw linear and 20m beam will be in better shape.
