This time Eltje PA3CEE and Johan PE9DX will join the party again. Don't change a winning team! We will be QRV moonbounce 2 meter as C56EME, a special moonbounce permit is requested. If all ok we will have a small 70cm setup with us. From February 11st until February 21st 2011, C56EME will be active from The Gambia on 144 MHz moonbounce. The locator will be IK13ql The plan is to leave February 9th and build up the station before the weekend. It's a hard job to get the license there. We first have to register us as taxpayers and have a lot of patience and... We want to be active at least during two whole weekends when there is good activity in combination with good moon conditions. Last operation presumably February 21st. Internet possibility is unsure but we try to send at least once a day a update via MoonNet, MMMonVHF and our mailinglist. If internet will be low, we will try (one way) communication through Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/PA3CEE and http://twitter.com/AtleticoTeamExp in order to inform with short messages. Frequency: We always TX and RX 144.124 MHz We use 1 minute periods and we will TX always first. Setup: 2 x 8 Xpol yagi 400 watt amplifier and a low NF preamp (WA2ODO) Welcome to The Gambia moonbounce site! http://www.emelogger.com/gambia 73 Rene PE1L, Eltje PA3CEE and Johan PE9DX PS It's time to vote for best VHF expedition 2010 at http://www.mmmonvhf.de/dxvote.php
