Hi Al!
 
I would announce our plans for 23 cm EME dxpedition for 10/11 May to Byelorussia (KO44) – EV5M – for operating during DUBUS Contest.

Expedition team members are: UA3DJG, UA3ATS, RA3WND, EW1EW, EU1AB, EW1DU.

The following equipment will be used: 3,6-m portable stressed  dish with RA3AQ-optimized septum feed and W2DRZ trekker,
HB LNA with 0.4  dB NF, HB LD-MOSFET PA with Pout of 350W and PC-controlled TS-790.

Update 5th May

Unfortunately, expedition schedule is extremely tight and we cannot guarantee 100% that and we will plenty of time before the contest, indeed. So, now, we wouldn’t arrange the skeds in advance, but we will try to be in the air as much as possible.

If we get the Internet connection at the “point” we’ll try to coordinate our work on-line and pay maximum attention not only QRO but also QRP stations.

We are planning to operate from ~ 07:00 UTC, May, 9th till ~ 21:00 UTC, May, 11th.

Before DUBUS EME contest we will stay on 1296.055 (plus/minus possible QRM). Some photos from previous expeditions are avaliable in:
