Due to the high number of DXpeditions being activated during this timeframe, the team can not give exact operating freqeuncies. They will try to avoid VP6 QRM from SA-053 as much as possible. Also, due to the weather situation around SA-053, delays are possible. QSL via HA1AG. During their travels Zoli will try to update his travelblog a: http://www.ha1ag.wordpress.com
This depends on InterNet availability.
