TL

Jan, DJ8NK and Paul, F6EXV are happy to announce their upcoming joint adventure as follows:

* Callsign: TL0A (guest operation at Christian’s station). 2 stations on simultaneously.
* Dates: 13th to 26th of May.
* Modes: Big emphasis on RTTY by Jan, and CW by Paul. Chris will continue his SSB operation and CW/RTTY from time to time after 26th of May.
* Bands: 40 through to 6m, maybe some 80/160 (late in the season for lowbands, plus it is the rainy season in TL with daily storms). Standard DX frequencies, always SPLIT.
* QSL info: Direct to qrz.com TL0A’s address. Neither Jan nor Paul will be able to confirm any contact, so we repeat, QSL info is ONLY via TL0A.

We are unlikely to have internet access from the station. There will be no online log. This operation could not have taken place without Christian’s full support, help and cooperation. We already want to thank him a lot for making this possible. So see you from the Central AfricanRepublic. Chris, TL0A, should definitively leave the Central African Republic in July 2010 and probably turn over to Niger (5U5U) next September.
