Update Wednesday 19th March 2003:

=20

Thanks to a strike at SMYRIL LINE (the ferry line between =
Denmark-Shetland Islands-Faroe islands) we have to change our planned OY =
activity. We are currently planning to go one week later which means we =
will arrive in the early morning of Monday 31 March and stay until 10 =
April. Unfortunately we will miss the WPX contest. The published calls =
will remain the same:

OY7ET operator PA5ET

OY7QA operator PA3FQA

OY7TW operator GM4FDM

OY7WB operator AK0A

OY7WP operator PA3EWP

OY8PA for 160 meters and probably digital modes

=20

On 80 meters we will use individual call signs in contradiction to =
earlier announcements.

=20

We will have 3 stations with amps of which one will be dedicated to =
digital modes. During the dark periods we will mainly be active on 80 =
and 160 meters. You can expect lots of digital mode activity on the WARC =
bands, so this is your change to fill the OY gaps on all bands and =
modes.

=20

All QSL's will be handled by the LLDXT QSL Manager PA5ET:

Rob Snieder, Van Leeuwenstraat 137, 2273 VS  Voorburg, The Netherlands.

=20

We hope to upload logs on daily basis using cellular phones. The latest =
developments can be found on the LLDXT web-site www.qsl.net/lldxt.

=20

Currently we are working on a back-out plan if the strike is still on =
next week to go to the Isle of Man.
