> Hello friends,
>
> C56R went QRV yesterday at about 2250 UTC on 16 Nov on 40 meters. Right
now
> we have a single station with a trap dipole. It is illicitly hung from the
> balcony of our third floor room, about 25 meters from the water's edge.
> Equipment is IC-725 and Ameritron AL-80B, and Writelog. We are QRV on 80,
> 40, and 15. Through this afternoon we have made approximately 400 QSOs.
The
> rest of the team (and equipment) arrives tomorrow, Monday, but it will be
> after dark by the time they clear customs.
>
> We have become good friends with the customs agents after working with
them
> to free Rag's (LA6FJA) equipment. That took us most of the day yesterday,
> but now Rag is a happy DXer.
>
> My friends in the USA, please look for us on 80 and 40 tonight. We have
> observed very low noise levels on 160, so if conditions stay good we may
> have the opportunity to make QSOs there when the main stations are set up.
>
> Rag recommends that we use the same band plan as S9LA. (See
> www.qsl.net/s9la)
>
> We were asked about SSTV operation. We hope the YL guys bring the
interface
> so we can operate SSTV.
>
> We are going to try to make our dipole antenna installation legitimate
> tomorrow, and attempt to make a deal to install a yagi on the roof.
>
> 73, Jeff N0DY and Rag LA6FJA
>
> P.S. We can be reached in the Gambia at this email address. We will stop
by
> an internet cafe every so often to check email - but no more than once a
day
> at most.
