We are happy to announce our upcoming DX-pedition to Jericho city in
Palestine between:

The flights and the hotel are booked and license is paid.

(we have spare transceivers/ PA’s/ preamps etc….)

We arrive on Monday 14th of November and start to build up the station next
day.
We expect to run on 2 mtr. from Nov. 15 until 24 (not full moonpasses on
some days)
Activity on 70cm will be during one complete moonpass starting:
Saturday 19th of November at 20:15 UTC.
A detailed timetable will be announced soon, we try to put actual
information every day if necessary on MMM.

Because we are QRV also during the ARRL EME Contest we kindly ask all
station who worked us before the contest NOT to call again and make a dupe
QSO unless you see there is NO pile-up !
The reason for planning this trip during the contest is only to make use of
the maximum of activity and to give as much stations a change to work us.

LATEST NEWS by Chris, PA2CHR, dated 2016-11-02:

We did the last test on our equipment and antennas to make sure everything
is really in good condition before we are going to use it. The antennas and
the equipment are packed into golfbags and suitcases, all together there is
a lot of stuff to travel with. We expect to start at Nov. 15 between 18-19
UTC. We will thank already a few radio amateurs for sponsoring us.

All time's in UTC.
Expected moonrise and moonset at about 5 degr. Elevation.


This is just an indication, changes are always possible depending on
activity.
If you see pile up: pse NO dupe QSO's for contest.
Have a look at MMMonVHF for updates and log.
