[Moon] CXpedition

[DL1YMK at aol.com]

Hi lunatics,
 
so far things are progressing as planned by my logistics manager  Monika. 188 
kg of equipment have been sealed by the customs, and are now on  their way to 
Montevideo (hopefully...). The Uruguayan customs are informed, so  we do hope 
it will be less problematic this year to get our hands on  the stuff than 
last year in TF-land.
 
A condition 'sine-qua-non' for our CX moonbounce license was an  operational 
site in a rural area to avoid any interference. From today's  point of view, 
we will have no telephone line, nor any cell phone coverage at  the location, 
this means no internet access. So it will be a real  old-fashioned unassisted 
type of operation. Maybe, we can arrange for some  occasional 20m 
moonbounce-net access, I don't know yet. Hence, the sked list  composed by Joe will be our 
'bible'. 
Joe: the deadline for any changes to the list will be the 25th of  April. On 
that day we will ask you for the latest issue, which we then will take  along 
to SA.
 
Planning so far is to be on 23cm on 30th of April already, but this depends  
on customs clearance, etc. If we get to know more details in the meantime, we  
will let you know before leaving for CX.
 
Let's hope for the best, including calm weather conditions...
