425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The January 2016 issue is now available for
download at www.425dxn.org/monthly/index.html
<http://www.425dxn.org/monthly/index.html>. [TNX IZ3EBA]
A91HI ---> Plans are running smoothly and everything is now on schedule for
the late April A91HI operation from Hawar Island (AS-202, new one for IOTA)
[425DXN 1288], the team reported on 18 February. Fawaz, A92AA and an
experienced team (7Z1OO, 9K2RR, A41OO, A61DJ, A93LT, EI5GM, EI9FBB and
MM0NDX) will be QRV with four high power stations on 40-10 metres CW, SSB
and digital modes. They will use a combination of SP7IDX Technology
Hexbeams and VDAs at the water's edge; the QTH has been carefully chosen on
the north side of the island overlooking salt water "with magnificent
take-off views to all corners of the globe".
Administration costs are very high for this expedition: "no fewer than six
different departments are required to give us clearance to operate amateur
radio on Hawar Island. This is why it has taken almost two years for the
first AS-202 activity to happen". Please consider making a small donation
to help offset growing costs - see www.a91hi.com/support
<http://www.a91hi.com/support> for information.
"We are offering a free QSL to those who donate at least $5 before our
departure. Just send your QSO details to our QSL manager (A92AA) after the
DXpedition". [TNX MM0NDX]
