Folks,
Here is the first update on KH1 DXpedition. Team members have arrived to Tuvalu (T2) and are getting ready for their 6 days trip. They came there in two groups: First group: YU1AU, YU1DX, Z32ZM, ZS6MG, S56A, N6TSQ, LY3NUM, and USFW representative Mr Doug Forsell. Second group: YT1AD, RZ3AA, RA3AUU, RW3AH, KW4DA, and Mr Jordan Naydenov- photo and multir-media expert. They were welcomed with +33c tmperature, forcing team to take advantage of turistic attractions of the island. April 23. happend to be a holiday in Tuvaly, and it was not possible to get the license immediately. However in small community of 8000 or so people, was not difficult to find the Minister of Telecommunications and T2 licenses were ready in no time. Technically speaking, over dinner. There was some damage on one of AS3S elements, but was easily fixed. One of locals help them to put up the antenna on the palm tree !!! It appears this is not the first time he is doing the same thing. The following calls are active: T25A QSL via: YT1AD, T2X QSL via: RW3AH, T23A QSL via: RZ3AA, T2DA QSL via: KW4DA. In general conditions are poor, as a result of unfavourable acitivity of the Sun. Even in such conditions they made 2000 QSOs the first night, using IC-756PRO-II + ACOM-1000. If the wheather conditions do not deteriate significanly, the arrival to KH1 is expected on April.28 at 04:00z with first QSO scheduled for 22:00z on the same day. Callsign is known, and will be 1x1. News will be available at web site: http://www.kragujevac.co.yu/KH1 or http://www.magma.ca/~ve3exy Hope the sea will not be rough, and they will safely arrive, and come back. 73 Nenad VE3EXY ------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems, etc DX-NEWS http://njdxa.org/dx-news DX-CHAT: http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net/
