Dear
all
It
is now possible to work XP1AB again. XP1AB will be used from Sondrestrom
on the West cost of Greenland Iceland during the CQWW SSB Contest on 27.
and 28. October 2001.
XP1AB
was last used in 1960’s and it will now be possible to work this
special call again.
Sondrestrom
is in CQ zone 40, ITU Zone 5 and IOTA reference NA-018.
During
the OX2K DXpedition in May June 2000 (see http://www.qsl.net/ox2k)
we have put up an operating room to be use radio amateurs all over the
world.
We
have also made a local club up there and the call sign will be XP1AB.
XP1AB
will be used on air during the CQWW SSB Contest and we will be QRV on
all 6 contest bands during the whole contest.
We
expect to arrive on 24. October 2001 where we will use the first days to
put all the equipment together. If we have the time we will work on all
HF bands and 6 meter with our own calls/OX. We will perhaps be QRV on CW
before and/or after the contest. We expect to leave on 31. October 2001.
QSL
Manager is OZ1ACB and QSL is only possible direct to OZ1ACB.
You
can find any details regarding the DXpedition on our website http://www.qsl.net/xp1ab
Please visit it often. We will update it often with new details.
