Mobile coverage 2
I have looked up the coverage of the Orange network. Not sure how well covering Le Grand Bleu. We better ask the hotel what kind of signal they have from Orange, before buying stuff. Orange has by far the best coverage.

Excel sheet
Hello, I updated the Excelsheet with a few items. After the coming weekend I will update it for 95%, because a lot of stuff is needed this weekend during the RTTY contest. So, after the contest I will packed it. I have updated the list with coax-cables. First I have made a list with all the cables that I have available. After that, I added comments for which antenna the coax-cables will be used. Please look at it, we can change it. 73 Ronald

Baggage overweight 2
Hello, I still had a bad feeling about our baggage. If it¡¯s 2 pieces or just 1 piece. I found a sheet with more information, if we have to pay overweight at the airport or at the office?: exessbaggage-rate.pdf (ethiopianairlines.com) So, we have to figure out what is the best combination. And the sky-bags with Hex-beam and 18m fiber mast are 1.70m long and approx. 20 * 20 cm. in total 2.10m 1. What is my checked free baggage allowance in Ethiopian airlines? For piece system Economy: up to 2 pieces, each with a maximum weight of 23 kg (50 lbs.) and maximum sum of dimension equal to 158 cm (62 in.) Cloud Nine: up to 2 pieces, each with a maximum weight of 32 kg (70 lbs.) and a maximum sum of dimension equal to 158 cm (62 in.) or 3 pieces 23 kg each. For more detail please click here : For weight system Economy: up to 40KG From/To DOH/MCT/KWI/BAH, Up to 46KG From KWI to KRT and for domestic flight 20KG. Cloud Nine/Business class: Always Piece system applies with 3 PC-23KG except for domestic flights where 30KG applies 2. What is excess baggage? Passenger baggage that exceeds the limits of free baggage allowance allowed by Ethiopian airlines and for which extra fee must therefore be paid. 3. Are all the excess baggage rates available for purchase at the airport? No, only the flat rate per KG is available at the airport. The sporting equipment and animals are to be booked at nearest Ethiopian airlines ticketing office or website prior to your flight. check the terms and condition applied for your excess baggage charges. For other enquiries contact your local offices, Click Here 4. How can I travel with my luggage if its dimension excess 300cm(118inc)? Any baggage with total dimensions exceeding 300cm (118 inches) cannot be transported as checked baggage and must be sent as cargo or freight We will have at least 2 ski-bags which are longer than 1.58cm. We still have some time, but I assume that we have to buy excess baggage at the office. 73 Ronald

I know a lot of people needs 5R8 on the lower bands. We will focused on JA during the greyline. Thank you also very much for your advices. Most of the time we will not be on the default FT4/FT8 QRG because of the QRM from locals. Multistreams will only be done if the signals are strong enough, but the lower bands will be difficult. We hope to work you on TOP band. 73 Ronald PA3EWP -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: ÓÒßh¹âÕþ <uto_iff@...> Verzonden: zaterdag 3 september 2022 01:27 Aan: pa3ewp@... Onderwerp: 5R8WP de JH4IFF Hello Ronald, I found that you will be active as 5R8WP. 5R is one of new for my 160m DXCC, so I will look for you there. I had ever heard 5R8M on 160m CW in 2014 but he could not copy me. I remember that we worked on FT8 many times, so I am thinking FT8 will be best mode for our 160m QSO. Please remember, FT8 operation on 1840 is not reasonable because we will have big QRM often. I recommend you will try on 1836 and do not recommend multi stream operation there. It will make us very difficult to copy you. My SR is 2106Z at 11-OCT and 2115Z at 22-OCT. Please look for JAs from 2000-2130Z. I will do my best around that time. Hope to see you soon. 73 ==== From Mitsumasa Uto, JH4IFF

QSL 14
Hello, Last week I have mentioned it before, what about the QSL? Gerben like to handle his own QSL. I have no problems to have one common QSL card and 1 manager for all calls. I don¡¯t want to be the QSL manager hi! If we have our licenses on paper we can make the announcement to the DX community. It would be nice that we can mention also the QSL manager(s). After we have our license, the QSL manager(s) can request the certificates for LOTW. We can register our calls at Clublog and as DXpedition call. Update our QRZ page. Anything else? 73 Ronald PA3EWP

update 9
Hello, A short update. Yesterday I have send the license request to Artec. Today I have received the proforma invoices. There was one mistake made by Artec which cannot been corrected: the call sign for Gerben will be: 5R8GW instead of 5R8CW. The other callsign will be: 5R8GW, 5R8MM and 5R8WP. I have send the proforma invoices to the radio club, now I have to wait for the bank details. It is approx. 35 Euro each. I will make the bank transfer otherwise we will have 4 time bank transaction costs. We have made a one-drive to share files with each other. You will receive a joined request from Gerben. All the license, passport files are there, but also some other files. There is also an Excel sheet with equipment and so on, look at it and update this will if needed. Gerben and I have decided to use 2 Elecraft K3 instead of 1. The SDR radio is for spare. Martin PA4WM confirmed me to use his 160m vertical (which will be used also on Swains). We only need radials for this antenna. The main laptops will be from Gerben and my. These have US keyboards. We will bring external US keyboards and mouse also. Maybe we can use also an external German keyboard? Headsets; maybe it¡¯s the best everybody bring his own headset. Especially if we use K3 radio¡¯s. A default Heil headset will work. We have 3.5 inch stereo connector for headset and a 3.5 inch mono connector for microphone. (If you have a Heil microphone with a dynamic element (for Icom), this will not work with an Elecraft radio). This week I will start unpacking the Swains boxes to see what equipment, cables and so on, I have for 5R8 and start updating the Excel sheet. During our DXpedition time, also the Russians are active from TY. Visa Gerben and I have our eVisa for 5R8, we have to pay at customs at the airport. Vaccinations Please check if you have all vaccinations for Madagascar including Covid-19. (I have also 2 boosters). We need a PCR test also, and I have read that we have to test also at the airport.
