priority part of the trip, and I can't predict when I'll be able to get
on the air (limitations of being in the city with poor view to sky,
etc.). But I am going to try at least a few passes one way or another!
.... My station will be very simple--FT-817, Elk antenna, and a hand mic.
Working half-duplex on the SSB birds will be very challenging for me!
I am spoiled by fully automated station operations."

countries and fly to Australia. However, as always, thank you to the

of five weeks, of which two for travel and the middle three for operation.
The main aim of the DXpedition will be to work the greatest possible
number of unique calls, thus offering a possibility also to Little Pistols
and QRP stations. All bands will be activated on CW and SSB, but RTTY
operations will be confined to the 14 MHz band." For more details and
