3y0, peter i island. it seems everything is a go for peter i. activity
will take place in january 2005 according to their web page at:
http://www.peterone.com"the daily dx" reports that the team has found new transportation to
the island - a newly refurbished icebreaker formally in service of the
chilean navy (no name provided). just a reminder that this operation
is a very expensive undertaking, and the team is looking for additional
financial support and sponsors. more details on the upcoming dxpedition
can be found on the web page listed above.
st, sudan. opdx was informed by dennis, pa7m, that michael, st2dx, will
be leaving the country on saturday the 10th of july. so his last day of
activity prbably will be on the 9th. the 10 element log-periodic antenna
does a real good job from 30m through 6m. there is also a long wire for
40-160m, but daytime operation on those bands is of no use off course.
problems with his keyer forces him to do more ssb then cw. but he'll try
again when it's possible. it's difficult to work stateside during daytime,
while during nighttime there's no time to operate because the normal work
days are from 6.30 a.m till 6.30 p.m. (but most of the times this is even
longer). however, michael will keep on trying - also on the longpath.
the online log and also real audio of the recent 6m openings can be found
on the following we page at:
http://www.pa7fm.nlanyway, michael has been heard over the past week on 30/17/10 meters.
watch around 10106, 28465 (+/- 30 khz) and 18153 khz between 1300-1900z.
