Hello to everyone!
Yes, friends, in a few days we will leave to Guinea Equatorial. The equipment, antennas, PCs, amplifiers, everything is packed and prepared for the trip.
We will arrive at Malabo Friday 5 of October around 22,30 local time, so we will begin the assembly of the Shack the following day, Saturday, first thing in the morning. As soon as we have an operating station, 3C7Y will be in the air. Although this is the indicative that we are going to use during the expedition, each user has its own indicative in Guinea Equatorial, Luis EA5BRE/3C7L, Vicente EA5YN/3C7V, Fred KH7Y/3C7Y y Elmo EA5BYP/3C7A.
The Shack will be located al north of the island of Bioko, we will have two operating stations in every moment and in some cases three stations.
Finally the modalities to work will be: SSB, CW, RTTY AND PSK31.
When we arrive at Guinea, we will know if the Log can be sent daily. If, by technical questions, it cannot be sent, we will hang it in the Web to our return of the expedition.
We hope to listen to everyone in the different bands and ways.
Greetings of Elmo ea5byp and Team 3C7Y
