YK9, Syria DXpedition

Operators Roger G3SXW, Nigel G3TXF, Fred G4BWP, Lionel G5LP and Rob GM3YTS will be active as YK9G in Damascus from April 9-15th.

The team plans to have two stations + amplifiers on the air full-time, but CW only.

They will have antennas for nine bands 160-10 meters, but most openings will be on 40-17 meters. They will transmit on frequencies ending in "3" and always listening split, up 1-2+ kHz.

According to the DX Magazine Survey, YK is the 18th "Most Wanted Country" in W6-7 land, so they will maximize their brief openings. However, Damascus is partly blocked in that direction.

QSL via G3TXF direct, bureau, E-mail for bureau reply and LotW. For more details, visit: http://www.yk9g.com
