Hello fellow Hams,
 
So far there are 3 operators going with me to Mozambique in July 2006.
We plan on arriving in Maputo,Mozambique on 29th of June and depart on
the 13th of July.
 
We plan on having 2 complete stations set up and running the whole time.
One for CW and one for Phone. Will also have a station set up for RTTY
and PSK.
 
We are planning to be active in the IARU contest the weekend of 8-9 July
with one CW and one SSB station. 
 
I just returned from Mozambique and Swaziland on the 26th after looking
at a very good site at Praia do Bilene which is on the coast about 80
miles north of Maputo.
Will have the stations set up in a cabin that has 3 rooms so we can put
the CW and PSK/RTTY station in one and the SSB in the other. Will have
the 2 trailer mounted towers set up along with the 72 foot vertical for
160-80 and we found out that it will also work on 30 Meters quite good
also. Will have 4 40 meter sloping dipoles on each tower that work very
good also. Daniel is also planning to set up an EME station so we can
try that mode also.
 
So are there any more that would like to join us and make this trip. We
will have at least 2 more 2 bed room cabins and can get a third if more
operators join with us.
 
I am planning on having a meeting with the Houston group in about 2
weeks. Will have at least 2 more meetings before we leave for
Mozambique.
