C5 - Arliss/W7XU and Ed/W0SD, along with their wives Holly/N0QJM and
Edith/W0OE, will be active from The Gambia (grid square IK13ql)
from 26 June through 5 July. Requested callsign is C5E (to be
released upon arrival). The primary focus will be on 6 metres
(50103 kHz), and they will have a beacon on during all sporadic E
hours listening for stations calling. "We have lost many contacts
in the past on six meters as signals have faded out before we get
a report", W0SD says, "so it is very wise to concentrate on
sending 'just' our signal report rather than you grid square".
There is some HF SSB and CW activity planned for late night
non-Sporadic E hours, while RTTY (17 and 20 metres) will be
concurrent with the 6m operations. QSL via W7XU.
