Tibet's history an individual amateur radio operator ------ BA4DT / Φ
I love the radio campaign for nearly 20 years. Until 14 years ago, formally joined the Chinese Radio Sports Association, I would be considered truly joined the amateur radio activities. Since then, I have out of control, from the radio direction finding amateur radio stations to participate in collective activities, from the highest level of national amateur radio operator certificate of the collective 3 (BZ4DFH) to the national level collective amateur radio operator certificate (BZ4ADD), until the I finally get the national level, individual amateur radio operator certificate (BA4DT) and individual amateur radio license, and in their own homes has also set up a liaison for the use of V / U-band and shortwave radio bands. I have never ceased to love on the radio campaign.
Our vast country, the current had already been more than 30 provinces and autonomous regions have their own collective or individual amateur radio stations where the operation, except the Tibet Autonomous Region, due to its location, environmental and other reasons, has not yet been a normal work collectively or Personal amateur radio, there are several who worked in Tibet is also an amateur radio activities, mountaineering activities in line with the ad hoc radio station; the same time, amateur radio sports and outdoor activities (especially climbing) is a perfect combination, in China in the history of mountaineering there are several such examples, most notably in 1988 is that China, Japan, Nepal Everest three joint pairs of inter-activity, in the Everest north side of the Chinese territory to set up an ad hoc radio station played a very crucial BTΦZML role.
In addition, the May 5, 2002 morning, the China Radio Sports Association will host a grand in the air, "Amateur Radio Festival", when all domestic provinces and cities (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan included) almost all the old, in Green amateur radio enthusiasts will be in the air liaison, if I was able to launch in Tibet, then, can help achieve the "happy", and that was in Chinese territory of each provinces and regions there are amateur radio enthusiasts in operation.
It is based on these considerations, I decided to go to Tibet with a short-wave radio station, in the mountaineering base camp set up temporary mobile station, becoming the first one launched in Tibet personal amateur radio call sign BA4DT / Φ (where Φ is the number in a radio communication "zero" standard formulation). Events like this in our amateur radio community are generally known as DX expedition. The amateur radio station the same time I can backup as a base camp hiking outreach methods to deal with a possible accident or unexpected event external communications requirements.
With the dream can be at this time, less than 14 days before departure, and concrete implementation of them is still a lot of work to be done.
First of all amateur radio operators also must comply with the radio regulations, I have obtained a legal license in Tibet launch. Shanghai Radio Sports Association, I would let an application written report detailing the purpose of my activities and plans, the association expressed support. I would hold the Association's approval letter issued to the Shanghai Municipal Radio Administration Committee handled the radio mobile applications, that is the site located in my home, short-wave radio stations that will be moved to Tibet to work applications. Shanghai Radio Management Committee of the Li Ding teachers and teachers are very enthusiastic, I carefully checked all the materials provided, after the first time for me to run a temporary radio station licenses and approval, and gave me a lot of specific recommendations on the implementation of . The last hurdle is to radio management in Tibet material submitted to the Committee for approval, I do not mind the end, they will help handle? A specific processing time is too late? The Tibetan team captain wangka help, I got a contact phone number. I am from Shanghai to the electrical contact on many occasions I found no committee of the Tibet Miss Mao. After some contacts, I found that Miss Mao to our amateur radio activities have quite understood all the information quickly copy and fax in the past. Anxiously waiting for 48 hours, I told my license was finally approved by firing. At that moment, I am really excited, as if I had fired the same as in Tibet.
Shortwave transceiver naturally with my own that Taiwan FT757, but I do not have good mobile station antennas. Now produce their own a little bit too late, Fortunately, Shanghai, HAM (amateur radio enthusiasts) a lot, I passed on the radio link found BG4AHN Bin Shen. BG4AHN However, in a radio master, known as "Flower King" (because he was living in landscaped areas), he will own elaborate and debugging 7/21MHz inverted "V" antennas and accessories available to me at the same time in order to back up the demand, he gave me a large-capacity battery. Interestingly, then I again in Tibet and in Shanghai on a short-wave communications BG4AHN each other and exchanged greetings.
Before leaving Shanghai, I will a detailed plan of activities and schedule posted on our website and e-mail discussion groups HAM, we hope that time, energy and everyone to do more to contact.
Gao Ding licensing and launching equipment, set my heart a lot. Unexpectedly, like he ran into trouble at the start. April 28 I'm early to the airport, all the climbing equipment and paragliding are all checked, and carrying a package weighing 14 kg Kongshen radio, power supply, antenna equipment, are ready to board. I have had security, naturally, are left behind, need to check. When the security staff to see me very well packaged shortwave radio station, obviously very surprised and quickly brought in the leadership of the duty. I quickly told they can not be portable to bring the aircraft to handle shipping. I faint! This radio checked, not being broke his. I hastened to take out radio licenses and Shanghai without the approval committee, deal with it. Time-consuming nearly 10 minutes, she finally agreed to the radio can be put on planes, but she firmly refused to agree to release my antenna (as far as I captured few words, they are worried that the antenna wire on the coil and can be used may seem to be assembled into a some sort of dangerous goods). I almost "tearful" manner and their interpretation, when the heart Bengtiyouduo anxious. Seeing from the departure time of 07:50 is only 5 minutes, and I are still stranded at the checkpoint, I even thought of giving up Tibet As an amateur radio expedition dreams. Fortunately, God finally comes in 07:48, and leaders who look at me look so serious, thought of a compromise approach, is to my device managed by the crew, I have the receipt and then the next plane back to my device . At that moment, I am very relieved to grow in one breath. A security officer to accompany I quickly ran to the boarding gate, because the board has ended, the airport arranged a car at the gate waiting for me, will I have sent the plane flew near. Interestingly, I took no fewer than 100 times the aircraft is the first time a car sent. :) As the one person waiting for me, flight did not take off, so I one on the plane, all passengers at once to my words "attention" from others, I can only he kept saying "I'm sorry, accidental circumstances", in fact, has long been the surviving heart filled with the excitement of the. I was finally able to fulfill my dream of Tibet's amateur radio station launched!

1 pm to the base camp, base camp to settle finished, I hastened to observe the terrain to see where suitable antennas, where do I place my radio, the Tibetan team's generators and so on. Definition of a program, my coaches and others in the Zhang's help, took a great effort to finally set up well to my inverted "V" antenna. Wang received the consent of Canadian captain, I will set up short-wave radio of the provisional command tent, then a good power supply, antenna VSWR meters, etc., would like to start debugging, and found there was no electricity. I hastened to find possession of the Task Force staff to help launch the generator can be a launch, tent lights have also found that a sudden dark a lot. It appears that the plateau, what will be discounted, even gasoline generator output power also do so. In desperation, I can only transmit power down to 30W, it will be barely able to work.
16:30 pm, I officially began in Tibet, amateur radio operators. The 21.400MHz, I began to call CQ, I even think their own voice due to emotion and some trembling. After a 1 minute, I heard a friend of mine responded to my, "BA4DT / Φ, here is BD3CB, your signal is 53, I am glad for the first time and in Tibet, the radio communications, I've been waiting for you for a long time ... ... "At that time I am really excited to finally be able to be completed in Tibet the first individual amateur radio communications. I quickly open the radio diary, on the dim lighting inside the tent to record all the important information on communications, we have also exchanged some personal information.
As the communications carried out, the frequency began to gather more and more Friends of the units. I also can not remember the plateau reaction, into the communications of tension. "BG4AHN, here is BA4DT / Φ, I am now in Tibet Yangbajing region, we climb the peak Kai Zi headquarters is about 4650 meters above sea level ... ..." Shortly after 17 o'clock, I heard the voice of the Shanghai, Shen Bin and finally hear the hometown friends, suddenly felt wonderful radio, as if I passed the air tunnel has returned to Shanghai and see the night view of Shanghai. I briefly chatted with him for a while, they continue to contact us. Because I have my plan in advance will be posted out, so have a lot of ham friends in the frequency of my work to wait around, mainly because our domestic friends around the station. I have one breath communications for nearly more than 60 radio stations, met a lot of old friends, including my own mountaineering circles, amateur radio industry veteran BDΦAJ Zou teacher (he once in Tibet and Xinjiang and other places involved in the activities of several well-known mountaineering communication work) as well as other regions of many ham friends, and also contacted Japan, Russia, Italy and other countries amateur radio stations. During which I would like to thank a friend contacted a Shanghai Feng Zheng BA4EG to my house, went to the phone, give my wife reported the safe.
I am excited, and we contacted did not even go to kitchen to eat dinner until wangka captain took me more into the tent to eat before we realize that we must eat. My heart really, very grateful. Plateau darkness fell, the tents where the temperature suddenly dropped, I was so busy communications side of the radio, while losing no time to eat a few mouthfuls of rice, while also continually exercise their feet and hands in order to maintain body temperature, sometimes even too busy to breathe a little not keep up with the.
I have work until 22:30, generators, light voice suddenly down, discovered that the generator is also fast running out of petrol. A thought of tomorrow, but also to the adaptability training, I quickly and radio friends to say goodbye. The results are too excited, I did not sleep the whole night.
April 30
Today, zipper back, I already feel more tired. Overnight winds will be blowing some of my mast tilt, and so I find time to do the antenna slightly adjusted. Rest did not take long, I could not help but got into the command tent, open the power supply and radio, they heard the familiar short-wave on the HAM are in the contact's voice. So I quickly readjust the machine and quickly sought out a more idle frequency start calling.
As today's zippers activities, I consumed a lot of physical strength, so when I started up communications after the discovery a little bit inadequate, and the rhythm of the radio communications also obviously slowed down. Frequency, there are still a number of Friends of the station waiting for communications. After a half an hour, I already feel tired, even when I reported that the radio call sign is a word we should change for every call tone, and sometimes even engaging in some pause, so that and my friends tried to persuade Communications of Ham I have to pay attention身体. I really do not want to waste this rare opportunity for communications, so he continued to work into the night almost 10 am, and communications in Taiwan, and Hong Kong throughout the friends.

Today is the Chinese Radio Sports Association of the air, "Amateur Radio Day" activities.
As yesterday's downhill coach after and possession of the evening chatting, affecting the rest, so I was not so very early today. After a hurried breakfast, I go into a tent, as usual, turn on the power and machinery. Maybe I went a bit late, plus I do not have an antenna with a 14MHz to Tibet, so I almost can not hear, "Amateur Radio Day" at 14MHz on the main venue for conversation. So I go to 21MHz, went on a lot of Friends of the communications units, was completed in the "Amateur Radio Day" activities, so that Tibet is also the wish of amateur radio station there.
In addition, I also communications to the Hawaii amateur radio AH6HY. I have just returned to Shanghai a few days, AH6HY his QSL cards have been sent in my house, to prove that we contact.
At this point, my amateur radio expedition to Tibet, a total of nearly 300 Friends of the communications units, has received QSL cards from home and abroad no less than 30 copies.
