DXpedition to Nouakchott, Mauritania

Andreas, DL7ZZ, says that a team of German amateur radio operators are planning a DXpedition to Nouakchott in Mauritania, between March 16-30th, 2008.

The current team of operators are: Rich DK8YY, Rene DL2JRM, Ralf DL3JJ, Ingolf DL4JS, Dan DL5SE and Andreas DL7ZZ.

All team members are well-known for their DXpeditions and contesting, and they would like to provide 5T as a new one to those who need it.

Operating location will be nearby the Atlantic Sea, so there will be enough space for their antenna systems especially for the low bands. The team is expecting their license very soon.

They plan to have 3 stations on the air; 2 with amplifiers. For operations on the low bands 2 verticals (V160 and V80) will be errected, and on 40m they will use 2 phased verticals. For 30-10 meters, they will set up 2 beams, and for the digital station there will be another ground-plane.

They will try to have an online log available that will be updated daily via I-net or pactor.

A Web page will be updated with all informations about the DXpedition at: http://www.5t2008.de
QSL via DH7WW, by the bureau or direct.

The team is looking for sponsors and donations.
