Pre-announcement for DX-pedition

Conway Reef DX-pedition 2001

-------------------------------------

It is again time to turn the beams towards South Pacific.

Dates:5 April - 24th April 2001

Covering 3 full weekends and a total of 19 days on the Reef. It also mean that we will cover the whole Easter week while on the reef ensuring maximum availability for all the Deserving.

DX-pedition plan: This DX-pedition will feature 4 complete stations running 24 hours a day.

1 Station for SSB 20,15,10

1 Station for CW 20,15,10

1 Station for 40, 80,160, RTTY and 6-meter

1 Station for SSB/CW 30,17,12

All stations featuring their own generators and amplifiers. The antennas featured will be the highly successful Force 12 antennas previously used with additional setups for this DX-pedition.

As with previous DX-peditions made by our team you will be able to expect good coverage on all the bands for all areas.. Since Conway is once more high on the most wanted list in Europe that will be the main target area. However as proven during the T31T/K operation there will be good coverage also for those who are chasing band/mode countries... This time with one additional station and longer time on the reef.

Transport: We have secured a suitable yacht for undertaking this DX-pedition already and we have main part of the logistical support that are needed for the operation. Downpayment for the boat is already taken care of.

DX-pedition team:

SM6CAS Nils

SM7PKK Mats

3 of the operators have already been on Conway Reef once or twice and as can be noted the main part of team are well seasoned DX-peditioners.

Additional operators: Please note that we are looking for 2 more operators to join the team!

Budget: This venue is budgeted at a cost of approximately 45,000$ Any support from clubs and individuals are greatly appreciated. As is a normal practice for our DX-peditions we focus our attention on giving maximum availability by optimising our resources to very a high extent.
