Who wants to help us and what is needed?

The Ukraine is a sovereign country which came from the former Soviet Union. Press, radio and tv reported very often about the great problems in the countries of the old Soviet Union. No money in the most parts of the country - this is the greatest problem for the people in the Ukraine. So it is needed everything. The wunderfull “Khersones” only servives because the owners,  the crew and the German friends of the “Khersones” do what they can. So it was possible that the “Khersones” will be seen on the sea with its big sailing area and it is not lieing in any harbour for ever. The radio equipment on boad is in accordance with the international regulation rules, but ham radio is unpossible. The radio equipment (TX) is only working on the interantional sea radio frequencies. We have many various antennas on board which are also useful for ham radio (groundplanes, dipoles) but no transceiver

Firstly we need very urgently a short wave transceiver for ham radio that is working between 80 and 10 m in CW and SSB. It would be good to have a second devise as a reserve, because the cruise will be about 3 months and in africa it will be difficult for quickly repairs. Also a laptop computer with a good logbool program would be very useful.

To get this equipment and to pay the fees for guest licences, telephone contacts, translations into Spain, French and so on we need some money. If anybody wants to help us, each one or two Dolars oder Deutsch Mark are very useful for us. We also will report from time to time about the use of the collected money. If we collect more than we need we will donate it for the education on board of the ship with the surplus money. We will create a list of the sponsors. If you wish to be published with your name and your call sign only, please tell it to us.
