Hello Japan and colleagues from Asia

We were contacted by Mr. Mitsumasa Uto (Mitsu) - JH4IFF requesting us to pay a special attention to JA and Asia, mainly on 30m and 80m.

Therefore, we are pleased to announce that we will dedicate some time of our dx-pedition to focus QSOs with Asian-Pacific stations, specially during sunrise (between 9:30h am UTC and 10:30 am UTC) and sunset (between 9:30h pm UTC and 10:30 pm UTC) in 8R.

According to present propagation conditions, we assume that we will have chance of contact with Asian-Pacific stations only in 20, 30 and 40m, although we will try 80m, by attending to Mitsu's request. The better chances will be 20 and 30m, as we will be using a beam antenna. We remind you that we will not be using linear amplifiers, but genuine 100W-rigs only.

Please, check dx clusters to find us during the operation as we are afraid of not having broadband connection available there.

Good luck and good hunting !
