Hello All,

Al, K2UYH has the following message for you:

Special Bulletin on JW/DF8DX dxpedition

Schedule Change:

we arrived safe in JW. Yesterday we started to assemble the dish. It 
takes a long time. Now we are almost done. We have -24°C here with a 
slight breeze. We cannot work more than 5 min outside because our faces 
hurts too much as well as the fingers (with gloves).

Please note that we are forced to change our schedule. We made the 
decision, that we will change the feed only twice. The work outside 
needs to be minimized. The extreme cold here prohibits to work longer 
than 5 min outside. Changing the band would take about 2 h because we 
have to go in and out very often. Therefore only EU will be able to work 
us on 9 cm.  There is no window to NA, because this path is blocked by 
mountains.  We are really sorry about that. But in exchange we stay on 
13 cm up late to work NA.  Right after QSOs we will have to dissemble 
the dish and pack everything for the flight on Wednesday.

The new schedule is --

21.Feb: 1100-1200z 3400.100MHz JT65C (1st)
22.Feb: 1100-1300z 1296.090MHz JT65C (1st)
23.Feb: 1100-1300z 1296.090MHz JT65C (1st)
23.Feb: 2300-0100z 1296.090MHz JT65C (1st)
24.Feb: 1200-1400z 2320.100MHz JT65C (1st)
25.Feb: 0001-0100z 2320.100MHz JT65C (1st), also RX on 2304.100MHz


73, Al - K2UYH
