Hi Tim, First may I suggest that you go to the team web site www.kp5.us and read the latest press release. The team wishes to work folks like you with modest stations and has ask the big guns to hold off a bit. Now we know that will not happen in some parts of the world but the request may help some. The team will be there for 2 weeks with very good equipment and high power. I may suggest that you not get real anxious to work then in the first days. There is no doubt that they will be calling CQ toward the end of the dxpedition.
