[Moon] CXpedition update

[DL1YMK at aol.com]

Hi gang,
 
breaking news: just got the info from our haulier Schenker that their  
Uruguayan crew (our sincere thanks to Mrs. Renee Corrales, Mrs. Claudia  Rodriguez 
and Mr. Daniel Taroco, and of course Kerstin Breßler in Old Germany  for not 
giving up on our matter) together with Richard, CX2AQ, finally  convinced the 
Uruguayan customs to release the containers with our rig after a  10 days 
serious struggle. They quoted the material was urgently needed for  scientific 
propagation studies - how true this is... Again this  once more points out how 
demanding those moonbounce endeavours are for all  people involved!
 
As the rig is available right now, Richard, CX2AQ, will give it a lift with  
his pick-up to our location, the (antenna)farm of our friend Pedro, CX5BW, it 
is  very likely that we will be on 1296.045MHz already on 30.04.2008. Our moon 
 window opens around 05.30UT. The URSEC agreed to start earlier than 
originally  licensed, they are really cooperative, those guys.
Pedro, as a communication professional, experimented the last few days with  
WLAN in his alternative QTH, so it might be possible to drop emails to  
'dl1ymk at aol.com' Not quite sure yet, but we will communicate, if we have any  
kind of web access.
 
Keep your fingers crossed, seriously needed (in CX there sometimes are high  
wind in the plains, hi, and we are going towards fall there....but keep  cool, 
Monika is used now to clinging onto rocking dishes)
