IOTA NA-149

2008-01-31 18:43:26 | Weblog
Yannick, HH2FYD (F6FYD) has scheduled a radio week end on the Cow island
, NA-149, GL FK38, on Feb 2nd & 3rd, 2008.

20m SSB, may be digit.

QSL via Yannick, F6FYD

Stay tuned; that's only a project. Yannick's Internet link in Petionville is
uncertain so he could go (or not) without any confirmation.

IOTA SA-043と053

2008-01-31 18:41:24 | Weblog
CE6TBN, HA1AG, RA0FU and RV1CC are planning to operate from Ascension Island
SA-043 as XR7A between 2 and 6 February and from Wager Island SA-053 as XR7W
between 9 and 12 February.

QSL via HA1AG.

During our Patagonian trip I am trying to update my travelblog at
WWW.ha1ag.wordpress.com (depends on internet availability)

The operators will focus on 30-40-20m bands. Due to the high number of
expeditions being active in this timeframe we can not give exact operating
freqeuncies. We try to avoid VP6 QRM from SA-053 as much as possible.

Due to the weather situation around SA-053 delays are possible.

I hope to work you all, please spread the info

NA-180 was opened as a new IOTA by Art and Mike Sharp, NG7S / V31RL, in
February, 1993. This will be Art$Bc`QT(B 7th operation from South Water Caye, and
his 13th trip to Belize since 1988. He has also operated as V31JZ from the

the Belizean mainland.
