I have completed my preliminary propagation forecast and drawn up an
operating schedule for  my visit to Dassen Island Lighthouse (IOTA AF-064,
ARLHS SAF-042) during International  Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend 2002.
I will be operating as ZS1AN/P from 1600 UTC on  Friday 16 August until 1200
UTC on Sunday 18 August, on the following frequencies (repeated  daily):

0500-0600 7026  CW
0600-0800 14026 CW
0900-1000 14026 CW
1000-1100 14226 USB (Primarily for other South African Lighthouses)
1200-1500 21026 CW
1500-1600 14026 CW
1600-1700 21026 CW
1700-1900 14026 CW
1900-2000 7026  CW
2000-2200 3526  CW

Please note that the entire expedition is weather dependant and that precise
operating  frequencies depend on the vaguaries of propagation and the whim
of the operator. However  this should give you a good idea of where to look
for me.

Additional information including propagation predictions for all the NCDXF
beacon locations   can be found on my web site,
www.qsl.net/zs1an/dassen.html

I have also applied for a World Lighthouse Award number for Dassen Island
Lighthouse as it  has not previously been activated for the WLA.
