Operator Ed/N1UR and his xyl Christine/
KB1PQN (her first DXpedition) are still expected to be active from Layang-
Layang Island Resort, Spratly Islands (AS-051) between 0800z, March 22nd
and 0000z, March 30th. The duo have already received their 9M6/N1UR and
9M6/KB1PQN licenses.
Once they get permission from the Navy, they will
apply for a special 9M0 callsign. Activity will be on 160-10 meters, CW
and SSB. There will be a station on 160m or 80m CW from 1030-1300z and
2100-2300z daily.
At other times in darkness, they will be on various
bands at different times. Sunset on Spratly is 1040z and Sunrise is 2240z
by the middle of that week. Since omnidirectional verticals on the beach
will be used, please be sure to check long path and short path for the
strongest signals. The operators will be moving bands frequently to take
advantage of any shorter band openings. They will only be using 100 watts.
QSL via K2RET: Bob Tomkovich, Jr., 405 Hemlock Dr., Lanoka Harbor, NJ
08734 USA. More information, as well as a "needs and wants" mode/band
survey can be found at: http://www.n1urspratly.com/

Operation Plan:
The DXpedition will begin approximately 0800Z on March 22, 2008.
Expected shutdown will be 0000Z March 30, 2008.
There will be a station on 160M or 80M CW from 1030Z -- 1300Z and 2100 -- 2300Z daily. At other times in darkness we will be varying bands and times.
Sunset in Spratly is 1040Z and Sunrise is 2240Z by the middle of that week.
Since omnidirectional verticals on the beach will be used, be sureto check long path and short path for the strongest signals.
The operators will be moving bands frequently to take advantage of any shorter band openings.
Specific transmit frequencies will be selected based on QRM/QRN at Spratly.
The typical DX slots will be used. General Class US frequencies when possible.
We will be using 100W so if you can hear us at all, give us a call.
