I will be going to Miquelon, FP (NA-032), along with my friend Bob, K9MDO
and we will be using the callsigns FP/W9ILY and FP/K9MDO. Operations will
begin on Thursday, September 13 (or possibly the evening of Wednesday,
September 12) and continue through Tuesday, September 18 and we will be
operating from the famous MAXOTEL that has been used by several previous
DXpeditions.
Bands: We are planning on using all bands 10-80 meters.
Modes: We will be concentrating on SSB (primarily FP/K9MDO) and RTTY/PSK
(primarily FP/W9ILY)
Equipment: We will both be using TS-570D(G) rigs, 100 watts and no amps, and
plan to use the antennas that were donated by previous DXpeditions. Due to
the strict weight restrictions of Air St. Pierre, we believe that 100 watts
with good verticals at the sea will provide good, workable signals. I hope
we are correct!
QSL Routes:
FP/W9ILY QSL direct or Bureau. Contacts will be uploaded to LoTW ASAP
following the DXpedition.
FP/K9MDO QSL via W9NJB direct or Bureau.
This will be a "laid-back" type of DXpedition to both give us and the DX
community the maximum enjoyment. Thus, we do not envision a 24-hour
operation, especially with only two operators.
Hope to print you in the pileups!
73,
John W9ILY
