"Mini DXpeditions for Everyone" by Billy McFarland, GM6DX shows how everyone can organize a DXpedition and the enjoyment in doing so. This book is thoroughly recommended reading for absolutely everyone who has ever wondered about portable operation and enjoying the challenge of operating from an unfamiliar station with a few friends.
Many regard DXpeditions as complex events that may involve getting a shipping container of equipment to a Pacific Island or getting visas for a country with very little or no amateur radio activity. This book shows how 'you can do this!' alongside the fun that a few friends (or on your own) can have on a shoestring budget.
So, what is a mini-DXpedition? DXpeditions are expeditions to a particular place to operate DX (long-distance radio contacts) on amateur radio. A mini-DXpedition is of course simply a smaller-scale event - maybe a trip from the UK to Europe with 5 or fewer operators or a trip to a local island or beach. Such trips require you to understand various antenna properties, which antennas are practical, good operating practices and RFI problem-solving. That is where "Mini DXpeditions for Everyone" sets out to help. You will find guides to antennas you might use, propagation considerations, effective radios, power sources, RFI and much more to aid your planning. You will gain valuable information on effective operating, tips for your public relations, location options and advice to ensure you operate legally within other countries. Finally, there is a section on Pico-DXpeditions for the solo operator and another on how to record your adventure.
