Finally, we have already defined our lodging, that is, we will be hosted in 8R1WD's house. We are really excited to start our operation in Guyana in the beginning of November and we do wish propagation may give us a break to reach our target of 1000 QSOs every day, at least. Due to problems with air company time schedule, our flight back to Brazil will leave Georgetown on Nov, 5th 2007 at 1pm. That is why we are supposed to be operating up to Nov, 5th 2007 up to 9am. Below you may find the preferable frequencies elected to be used by the 8R1PY team in Guyana:
2m - 144.300 MHz USB
10m - 28.020 MHz CW / 28.410 MHz USB
12m - 24.895 MHz CW / 24.940 MHz USB
15m - 21.020 MHz CW / 21.310 MHz USB
17m - 18.075 MHz CW / 18.110 MHz USB
20m - 14.010 MHz CW / 14.210 MHz USB

DX-PEDITION TO GUYANA (8R) - 2007
Dear colleagues,
It is the start of a ham journey from Sao Paulo, Brazil to Georgetown, Guyana next November/2007, if nothing else is going to fail. Actually, Anderson (PY2TNT) and me (Alex - PY2WAS / PY1WAS) intend to spend 4 days transmitting 24 hours from Guyana (8R) from 2 to 80 meters, SSB and CW.
It has been too hard to get by all obstacles to get there. Bureaucracy in Brazil and Guyana has been the hardest one. We would appreciate to thank so much for the support of two great guys: Fred (PY2XB) in Sao Paulo, Brazil and Peter Denny (8R1WD) in Georgetown, Guyana. Peter is providing the license to use call sign 8R1PY close to NFMU (National Frequency Management Unit), which will be used in this dx-pedition from Nov, 1st 2007 to Nov, 4th 2007, if everything continues going on. Without Peter's support in Guyana, this dx-pedition could not have been possible. We intend to start to divulge this dx-pedition up to the end of September 2007, when we will have a clearest scenario about all details to make it come true.
