[KCDXC] Fwd: S05X - Update 18 April

[Mike ZooLoo]

 >>> Press Release #4 for Western Sahara Desert
Dxpedition 2003 <<<

Yesterday the S05X multi-national team installed new
antennas with excellent results, thanks also to good
openings towards North America (also on 160 metres)
and Japan.

The first batch of QSOs (around 15600 contacts made
from 23.45 UTC on 15 April through 00.58 UTC on the 
19th) was successfully uploaded this morning and as of
13.30 UTC log search was regurlarly up and running at
http://www.pagus.it/s05x/  - give a look to the
statistics already available.

As of tomorrow, further logs, as well as pictures  and
the DXpedition diary, will be uploaded daily  using
the Internet connection of a nearby United Nations
camp.

Tomorrow morning (19 April) S05X will be QRV for EC
stations on 15 metres.

The messages arrived to the pilots have been forwarded
to the operators, who are informed of sunrise/sunset
times and will do their best to be QRV accordingly.

Europeans are requested to be patient and stop calling
when S05X looks for stations from specific areas: 
thank you in advance for cooperation.

The pilots stations are Maurizio, I1-21171/IZ1CRR
(i121171@425dxn.org) and Mauro, I1JQJ
(i1jqj@425dxn.org); please send your messages to the
both of them and put "S05X" in the subject line.

Good Luck in working the DXpedition, de

Maurizio Bertolino, IZ1CRR and Mauro Pregliasco, I1JQJ
