Subject: [Cq-l] SU8 IOTA DXpedition in April

 From the CQ Newsroom...

The following announcement arrived too late to run in the April issue of

CQ. Due to its significance as the first IOTA operation from Egypt, we 
decided to pass it along to this list.  73.

------------
I would like to announce THE FIRST EVER IOTA ACTIVITY FROM EGYPT. (
SU8IOTA 
) DX-Pedition from the Disuqi (also know as Nelson) Island in the 
Mediterranean Sea (AF-NEW).
Duration from 23 April 2005 until 1 May 2005. Operators will be Hossam 
(SU1HM), Said Kamel (SU1SK), Tarek (SU2TA), and Sayed (SU1SA).  Activity

will be on 160-6 meters on the usual DX and IOTA frequencies. For Modes
and 
updates please check <http://www.qrz.com/su8iota>.

Nelson Island lies approximately 20 kilometres east of the Egyptian port
of 
Alexandria, four kilometres north of Cape Aboukir and guards the
northern 
approach of Aboukir Bay, which is the western part of the Nile Delta. In

antiquity, Aboukir Bay provided one of the primary commercial routes 
leading into the Nile River and consequently became a major commercial
and 
religious centre. The position of Nelson Island ensured that it too
became 
an important site and also one of great archaeological importance.

Said, SU1SK
