A91HI ---> Plans are running smoothly and everything is now on schedule  for
the late April A91HI operation from Hawar Island (AS-202, new one for  IOTA)
[425DXN 1288], the team  reported  on  18  February.  Fawaz,  A92AA  and  an
experienced team (7Z1OO, 9K2RR,  A41OO,  A61DJ,  A93LT,  EI5GM,  EI9FBB  and
MM0NDX) will be QRV with four high power stations on 40-10  metres  CW,  SSB
and digital  modes.  They  will  use  a  combination  of  SP7IDX  Technology
Hexbeams and VDAs at the water's edge; the QTH has been carefully chosen  on
the north side of  the  island  overlooking  salt  water  "with  magnificent
take-off views to all corners of the globe".
Administration costs are very high for this expedition: "no fewer  than  six
different departments are required to give us clearance to  operate  amateur
radio on Hawar Island. This is why it has taken almost  two  years  for  the
first AS-202 activity to happen". Please consider making  a  small  donation
to help offset growing costs - see  www.a91hi.com/support  for  information.
"We are offering a free QSL to those who  donate  at  least  $5  before  our
departure. Just send your QSO details to our QSL manager (A92AA)  after  the
DXpedition". [TNX MM0NDX]

A91HI ---> Plans are running smoothly and everything is now on schedule  for
the late April A91HI operation from Hawar Island (AS-202, new one for  IOTA)
[425DXN 1288], the team  reported  on  18  February.  Fawaz,  A92AA  and  an
experienced team (7Z1OO, 9K2RR,  A41OO,  A61DJ,  A93LT,  EI5GM,  EI9FBB  and
MM0NDX) will be QRV with four high power stations on 40-10  metres  CW,  SSB
and digital  modes.  They  will  use  a  combination  of  SP7IDX  Technology
Hexbeams and VDAs at the water's edge; the QTH has been carefully chosen  on
the north side of  the  island  overlooking  salt  water  "with  magnificent
take-off views to all corners of the globe".
Administration costs are very high for this expedition: "no fewer  than  six
different departments are required to give us clearance to  operate  amateur
radio on Hawar Island. This is why it has taken almost  two  years  for  the
first AS-202 activity to happen". Please consider making  a  small  donation
to help offset growing costs - see  www.a91hi.com/support  for  information.
"We are offering a free QSL to those who  donate  at  least  $5  before  our
departure. Just send your QSO details to our QSL manager (A92AA)  after  the
DXpedition". [TNX MM0NDX]
