About
Welcome to Paul N6PSE’s blog page. I am a Silicon Valley IT & Security consultant. My hobbies are amateur radio and adventure travel.
I love to organize and participate in amateur radio DXpeditions. In the last three years, I have visited the following countries or “entities” as we call them.
Iraq, Egypt, South Sudan, Fiji, Rotuma Island, Ethiopia, Yemen, Conway Reef, China, North Korea, Mount Athos, Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Macedonia, Greece, South Korea and Myanmar.
You can also follow our activites on Facebook, by following the Intrepid-DX Group.
Thank you,
Paul N6PSE

Paul – I’ll be in the bay area in the near future (7-9 September) and would love to chat with you about your novel concept. Just the kind of way to have a rational, civic discourse about DPRK.
Nice blog Paul. Well written and thought provoking

So Paul, hows that great DX rig you won the IC-7300? I know you can’t wait to take it on your next DXExpedition. You were right behind me when you bought those 2 winning tickets. I just read your P5 story and I feel bad for everyone, I know you’re the better man an in not naming those who breached secrecy. 73 Rory N6OIL
Hi Rory, I have not received it yet from Icom, however everything I’ve heard about the IC-7300 sounds great!
Hi Paul, I noted that RadioSport (Arlan Communications) was a sponsor for the VP8 DXpedition. Did you use one of their headsets and what was your impression of them? I am looking forward to your presentation at the PNW DX Convention in August.
The RadioSport headsets were outstanding! I plan to buy two of them for my own shack and future DXpeditions needs.
Best wishes,
Paul N6PSE
Thanks for your response. I have been considering the Heil Pro 7 and the RadioSport.
Well, my experience with ft8 on 6 meters this summer has been very good. During the summer
vhf contest counting the number of active signal trails was something like cw=2, usb=4, ft8=54
or so. I think cw and ssb dxing are done on this band if this keeps up.
