Hello friends,=20

=20

As you probably already know, Miguel (Mike) EA5IK will be working from =
Guinea Bissau for 15 days, starting  the 13th of september. He will =
travel with his ICOM IC706MKIIG with a tuner and a switching power =
supply.

He will take with him some wires to make some antennas for all the bands =
from 6 to 80 meters. All this will be carried in a computer transport =
bag.=20

He will not have any extra expenses to do this, apart from the materials =
themselves because  the main reason for Miguel to travel to Bissau is to =
start a Practical School of  Carpentry sponsored by the ONG ANAWIN and =
the TownHall of the city where we live, Elche, the place where Miguel =
works.=20

Miguel will not request economical help for this mission but he wants =
you to know that all the remaining money after asking the QSL direct way =
by anyone, will be directly transfered to his project. The Lynx DX Group =
has sponsored license's fee.

SHORT MEMORY

=20

Some high-ranking officials from the Town Hall of Elche were asking =
Miguel about the possibility of  developing a Practical School of =
Carpentry in the north of Bissau, and information about  the personnal =
and machinery required to do this project.

A group of five ophthalmologists will be traveling with Miguel with a =
complete set of surgery needed to help the people of the area.

As far as I know him, I can say  Miguel is an unsurpassable person doing =
his job, as well as a great operator in his spare time.  For all this I =
am sure he will get the personal satisfaction he is looking for, he will =
give a  great help to the people of Bissau  and also he will bring for =
sure some "new one" to all of us who are taking care of his activity on =
HF.

Thirteen vaccines are needed to enter the country, to avoid contagious =
diseases and also a visa of 30 days (for a cost of "only" 60 euros).

As soon as he arrives in Bissau, Miguel will pick up his callsign from =
PTT. After that will travel by bus to the North of the country, crossing =
a huge river using (still) a pulley barge.

His QTH will be a few kilometers from the Senegal border.=20

There is no any other way of communication in the place, apart from his =
small Icom and the electricity power will be produced with a generator.

=20

WHY?=20

You have to know Miguel to understand  why. He will give every thing for =
nothing. That's his Bible. He told me that he will earn the same money =
staying here than going there, he will not get an extra salary for this, =
but only a few people can get the satisfaction he will gain in this =
trip.=20

When you exchange the 59, Miguel will have already helped a lot of =
people to improve their lives, a lot of people like ourselves, who have =
to live and work depending of their own resources, and over there in =
Bissau that is not that easy.=20

=20

BON VOYAGE!
