TI1RRC – YL Raisa (R1BIG)

Just a few weeks left until our TI1RRC DXpedition to Costa Rica! The preparation is in full swing, and our team has weekly calls to discuss every detail and make sure nothing is overlooked.
 
From the very beginning, I was entrusted with designing our expedition t-shirts and caps. I wanted them to be as comfortable and practical as possible while also standing out with a vibrant design. Our expedition symbol is the stunning Costa Rican macaw!
 
I thought a lot about how to incorporate it into the design and eventually, we decided that the t-shirts should have long sleeves to provide extra protection from the sun. After testing different fabrics and designs, we finally have the result – bright, lightweight, and breathable gear!
 
Now, everyone on the team will be protected and looking great while working in the field. Do you like the uniform?

Charles M0OXO

I was born in the 1960’s and have lived all my life in the Coal Mining Town of Barnsley in South Yorkshire, Northern England. My parents were all from this area of Yorkshire and my father worked in the main Industry of the local Collieries as a face worker. I have been married to my wife Debbie for 38 years and we have two children and two grandchildren.

I have been licensed for around 20 years after my interest was re-kindled when I retired from my role as a Police Officer within South Yorkshire Police Force. The latter few years were spent as Radio Operator in the Force Operations Control Room at Sheffield, before my career ended.

IOTA chasing is (and always has been) my real passion, as climbing the ladder to reach Honour Roll status was always my main aim. The 1000 Islands Trophy is still out of reach but I am heading in the right direction. I am currently a Board Member of IOTA Ltd.

In my free time I am a keen Photographer of Wildlife but the QSL Manager role is my main passion within Ham Radio.
