etc... along with the Web site and QSL information. Roger did provide

the aims of the DXpedition, which are:

Multi-2 category contestant.

* To give as many folk as possible a new entity or band/mode slot,

time dedicated RTTY/PSK station running from the start for the

entire duration of the DXpedition.

* To operate 160 meters through 6 meters.

* Equipment:

Rigs - 2X Kenwood TS-590's, 1X Yaesu FTDX3000D, & 1 or 2X Elecraft

K3's

Linears - 4X Expert (3X 1K and 1X 2K FA's) linear amplifiers,

sponsored by Expert Amps USA

Antennas - 3X KIO Hexagonal Beams, 1X 75 foot vertical for 160, 80

and 40 meters TX, 1X 2 element 30 meter wire beam,

1X 160/80 meter RX antenna with preamp.

* QSL Policy/Website/Log:

- They will be announcing a Web site address shortly.

- They will be using ClubLog for band-slot chasers and for

online log checking.

- They will be updating both Clublog and LoTW a couple of times

each day during the operation.

- They will be providing QSL cards via both Bureau and direct.

Any queries can be directed to Roger, ZS6RJ.

9G, GHANA. Jeff, W7JVN/9G5AC, reports on QRZ.com [edited]: "My wife Beverly

(WB7NLY) and I have been called to a church mission in Ghana, Africa. I

thought it would be nice to be on a DXpedition here so I brought my Yaesu

FT 857 radio with me and have set up a humble little station at my house.

I have a 20 meter inverted V dipole antenna mounted on a 30 foot bamboo

pole. The natives here use these poles to mount a small UHF TV antenna

on. Every house has a bamboo pole antenna. Some are longer than the one

I found, but I thought I was very lucky to find that one. I use a 12 volt

battery off my generator for power for the radio. Who needs power in the

house as long as the radio will work? I will get on 20 and 15 meters SSB

whenever I get a chance and when the bands are open here. With the antenna

I have and only 100 watts, I don't think I will have a big signal out of

Ghana but I have made several contacts so far with good reports. I will

be in Asamankese, Ghana (which is in the bush), for about 16 months. Date

of this post is July, 2013. I am looking forward to working as many

stations as possible, and I hope you are one of them.... 73 Jeff 9G5AC"

C82, MOZAMBIQUE (Press Release #3). The following was sent out on July

16th [edited]: "This has been a busy month for the C82DX team. With only

90 days before we are QRV we have filled the remaining operating positions

and added several individuals to our off site support team. Joining us

are such well known DXers as Bill/K1MM, Bruce/W6OSP, Charlie/NF4A and

Wild Bill/N2WB. Our South African contingent now includes Pierre/ZS6PJH

Chairman of the Pretoria ARC.

We now have secured the vehicles and trailers that will take us overland

from Pretoria to Xai Xai, Mozambique. South African members of our team

have traveled to Xai Xai to map the operating site and make a deposit on

our rented compound. Coax, laptops, and extra linears have been sourced.

In addition to our team license, our team members have all received

personalized C92 callsigns.

Low Band operations remain the primary objective and we have secured

both Titanex and Battle Creek Special verticals. We have also obtained

the sponsorship of Array Solutions with one of their new shared apex loop

array RX systems and W3YY FSK/CW interfaces. They join ICOM (our main

equipment supplier with IC7600s) and SteppIR (CrankIRs) as our major

donors to our DXpedition.

During the day we will operate all HF bands including 6 meters. Our

website has been expanded by our webmaster, K6MM. If you haven't been

there lately, please visit, <www.c82dx.com>, where you can learn more

about our plans.

ET, ETHIOPIA (YASME Press Release): "YASME SUPPORTS EQUIPMENT ACQUISITION

FOR NEW ETHIOPIAN AMATEURS -- Ethiopia came back on the air May 30, 2011,

with the re-opening of the Ethiopian Amateur Radio Society station ET3AA.

To support the reestablishment of amateur radio in Ethiopia, the Yasme

Foundation made a grant to pay for the fees associated with the license

examination for 25 club members. Many were successful but under Ethiopian

regulations could not receive a license without proof of ownership of an

amateur radio station.

To further support amateur radio in Ethiopia, the Board of Directors is

pleased to announce that it has made an additional grant to be used to

purchase amateur radio transceivers for three club members so that they

can satisfy the requirements of the Ethiopian licensing process. The

Board acknowledges with appreciation the substantial efforts of Ken

Claerbout, K4ZW, in facilitating the acquisition of the equipment and

mentoring the EARS members, as shown here with club member Adula at the

microphone during the 2013 IARU HF Championship contest.

The Yasme Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation organized to conduct

scientific and educational projects related to Amateur Radio, including

DXing (long distance communication) and the introduction and promotion

of Amateur Radio in developing countries. For additional information

about The Yasme Foundation, visit our website at <www.yasme.org>.

of the sites acquisition by the City of Nottingham Scouts. Amateur Radio

has long since featured in these camps which are usually held every 4 or

5 years, and this year a station was again one of the many activities

available to the young people attending the camp. With a large inter-

national team of 17 operators, the stations will be able to demonstrate

the best of amateur radio to the many young visitors attending. Amateur

4 days and then went QTH leaving the island, should be returning to
