V5, Namibia has already been activated before on VHF,UHF and Microwave bands during a DXpedition in 2009.
However, there should be several new EME stations that need V5 as a new one on 2M and 70CM EME.
There may be another opportunity to activate V5 again from a different location on 2M and/or 70CM EME
on the way back to ZS between 6 and 10 May.
Equipment for 2M: 1 x 2M18XXX, IC-9700 [One less antenna than used at D2TX in 2022]
Equipment for 70CM: 2 x 9WL, IC-9700 [Same as used from 7P8Z]
[Multiple spares of almost everything...]
Direct QSL's for any of the calls can be requested from Lins, PA3CMC. Contributions will be gladly
accepted and can be directed via Paypal to Lins, PA3CMC at info@pa3cmc.nl Please include your
callsign to be listed as a contributor.
All direct paper QSL requests and contributors will receive LotW confirmation as well.
Any changes to the schedule will be communicated via the relevant HB9Q chats, and/or QRZ.COM pages.
All the accommodation has been pre-booked and paid so the dates are not subject to change unless
something unplanned comes up.
Particular attention will be given to marginal and short common Moon windows. Please feel free to send
an email to indicate such windows that will require specific attention.
A portable QO-100 SAT Station provided by PA3CMC will be used to relay messages in case there are no
internet coverage available.
RS-44 satellite contacts may also be considered if the EME activity is low enough.
No 23/13/6CM activity is planned.
