The 4W3A License was issued on 23 May 2003, just a couple of days after the new independant Country Timor-Leste began issuing licenses.
WPX SSB Contest activation 26 / 27 March 2011. .
25MAR2011 Arrived in Dili on 25 March, and secured an 'ideal' HF location pretty quickly. that said, the AC Power reliability will generate some qrt moments for sure. Minor dilemma with re-validatiing the licence here, not that my 4W3A licence/certificate has never been cancelled or withdrawn, and sadly will only be able verify my licence as 100% on the monday after the event. Just want to be 100% open here with everyone, there is a small chance this operation may not get off the ground. paperwerk . ughh. Will be meeting the Minister of Communications on Monday as I understand, as other ARCOM staff could not help today.
26MAR2011. Got antenna up OK, then received written confirmation from ARCOM Spectrum Mgt to confirm callsign and licence are 100% OK, but must renew it before I leave the island. ARCOM have a grandfathering arrangement for licences issued since independence, but with new regs and declarations. There is more. but thats in the article With just 100w, made pile-ups on 40m and oddly 6m with 6m busier than 10m ! had a equipment flame out with a spike from the occasional (daily) AC power blackouts here. Will send ARRL a full copy of my paperwork, as I'd hate for others to suffer a lost prefix/country because of any gap in my paperwork.
27MAR2011. Decided to elevate the vertical, and now able to run on 40m, 10m and 6m. Never had one antenna that allows me to switch from decent 6m qso's thru to 80m.and just low power antenna, cables and power supplybeing scrapped tomorrow morning (at end of event), maybe turned into something enterprising by the locals. My Tetum and Portugeses opened some doors with CT and EA stations surprised I did not learn this earlier.
Will get the logs to my UK based QSL mgr about 10 minutes after the event. I know some will use express post ;-}
Rig is IC-7600, 30m of RG8X and 'big' homemade vertical and broadband 80m thru 6m matching. Antenna, ground radials and matching alll weighed in at just 2.7kg !!
Obrigato.

FM
For Field Day operating, FM is probably the easiest VHF mode to implement. You’ll have little trouble finding FM rigs to use; even a
hand-held transceiver can make a fine Field Day rig. FM doesn’t have the range of CW or SSB, but it is the most popular
communications mode on the VHF and UHF bands. You’ll find the greatest amount of FM simplex activity on the 2-meter band,
although 6 meter FM may be worth a try as well. Remember that Field Day rules prohibit the use of repeaters. This means you’ll
have to hunt for contacts on the recognized simplex frequencies.
QSL INFO
All QSL cards should be sent to:
