MDXC is pleased to announce that during 9L8MD, the incoming Dx’pedition in Sierra Leone (29 th October- 10th November), there will be an \u201cembedded\u201d IOTA operation from Dublin isl. – Banana islands group, AF-037.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group was activated last time in 2019 by the F6KOP team (9LY1JM).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To avoid any confusion with the ongoing 9L8MD operations from the mainland, the IOTA activity will use the special call-sign 9L9L (nine lima nine lima): the call-sign has been granted by local Telecommunication Authority and already registered on LoTW.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting from Sunday 2nd November, several landing teams of two operators each will alternate from Dublin island, staying for three days-two nights in a local resort. Due to the lack of anything on the island, especially electricity, our operators will bring all the necessary stuff by boat with them, including a generator and gasoline. At the end of the three-day shift, the new team will bring the refueling for the next three days.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operating bands will be 40 to 6m, with verticals and 3 elemts yagi for 6m.The island has not been activated on 6m previously.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be a big occasion to test \u201con the field\u201d the two FLEX-8600M recently supplied to MDXC by FLEX RADIO USA. An ICOM IC7000 will be dedicated to the 6 m band.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since the shortage of electricity, radios will operate with just their barefoot power (100 W), so to be heard on-air will be particularly challenging<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A online log will be available (HERE<\/a>), but due to lack of internet connectivity, we can\u2019t guarantee the real-time performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further details about the 9L9L operations will be supplied step-by-step through our WhatsApp channel (https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029Vb6VAGAId7nIXVb1w23t) and other DX information sites.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
