Words after DXpedition
 01.03.2002

160 and 80 meter QRM from Voice of America txing 1530 Khz with 600 KW

*We had not expected this, because we had planned a lot of activity on low bands, a separate RX antenna didn't manage to get the QRM lvel any better but worse.

 

* We got later QRV than expected, expected arrival : 0545 z , our arrival : 1045 z

So to hot during midday and we got delayed with many hours.

Operators

* One of the crew was very ill, so in the fact we was only 7 operateurs, one ill & one technical licenced who had a lot jobs to do. From the start, later into the week we had another two which wasn't into good shape. So finally we was only 5 to run the radio mostly.

 
*We was QRV most of the time with 4 rigs, and we had expected
 
*No Callsign will be corrected before we have a complete log for all QSO

Our policy regarding split operation
30.01.2002
We will quickly change our split frequencies, so it's a good idea to spread out!!
Please listen for instructions we are giving for our listening frequencies

Try 2-3-5-10-15 up

Please listen and follow our orders, or we will either go QRT
or select another listening QSO.

More QRM & Jamming from you = Slower QSO rate!

We do not accept skeds
Tell us if we have people who are QRM'ing on our transmitting frequencies, so we can move.
We will have access to internet and will every evening update our logs. Info will be given on DX Summit.
  
Attention!!!!!! 160 / 80 m Operation
 
Specially 160 & 80 we have maximum 30 minuttes opening to VK/ZL /JA.
Abt 2030z-2130z we will listen out for ONLY these areas, remember Europe, Asia & NA have much wide openings !!!!
The Plan is to be QRV 160 / 80 m the first afternoon if we can get up the Titanex.
Tony LA9VDA will tell us about any problems if it appears, so tell him about any different frequencies.
