Mozambique DXpedition

Frosty, K5LBU, reports that "things are looking up for our Dxpedition to Mozambique this July."

He states that they will be on the air starting the night of July 16th through the 30th.

They will have 2 complete stations; one for CW and one for SSB. Both will have T-8 Log-Periodics thanks to Tennedyne at about 50 feet plus. There will also be a 40 meter 4 square and possibly 80 meter 4 square and 72 foot vertical for 160/80/30 meters. There will also be 6 meters with a M2 6 meter beam.

Frosty is hoping to have a new Expert 1K-FA amplifier to try out, but time is about up and without sponsors, they will be using the old IC2KL amps.

Look for activity on EME from 6 meters through 70cm (Thanks to Hal/ZS6WB and several other South African hams).
Frosty is going to try and make sure that some of their CW operators give CW a shot on EME. The C9 team has several new members and now consists of the following operators:

Charles F. Frost (Frosty) K5LBU C91CF QSL via home callsign
Tom Kramer NQ7R C91TK QSL via home callsign
Jay Sewell W5SL C91SL QSL via home callsign
John Plenderleith 9M6XRO C91XO* QSL via M3SDE
Bill Dzurilla NZ5N C91BD QSL via WA4WTG
Bob Novak K0OK C91OK* QSL via home callsign
Ben Pyfer DJ0YI C91YI* QSL via home callsign
      * Callsign pending

Activity will be on all bands from 160-6 this trip. Frosty just hopes that they get some sunspots so that folks can work them on 15/12/10m.

They will have a log search on the Web sometime after their operations start at: http://www.tdxs.net/C9.html
Their InterNet is via a pay as you go cell phone, so don't look for too much from them everyday.

John will be leaving the team to go over to Swaziland on the 18th to operate there until the 23rd. His cards should go to his QSL Manager M3SDE.
