VU7 DXpedition 2026 Update: AU7RS Team Active on 10, 12 and 20m!

As per the spots on DXWatch.com, AU7RS team for the VU7 DXpedition February 2026, is already active on 10, 12 and 20m bands. Had a phone chat with one of the team members (VU24DX) yesterday evening. They are planning to get the antennas for lower bands up to 160m ready soon. QO-100 activation is also being planned. Activation will be up to 24 February 2026 if conditions permit. Let me wish them every success and good luck to all the DXpedition chasers as well. I will be able to work them only on lower bands due to proximity and possible skip conditions. I am hoping to have a QSO on 80m first and then convert the 80m dipole to a linear loaded dipole for 160m if I can! Extreme space constraints at my location will certainly make it quite challenging. I am enthusiastic because I could copy VU2GSM on 160m CW a couple of days back.
