** Question in advance of Expediton **
Dear friends, We are preparing our Maldives Isl. DXpedition 2010 (March
24th - 31th see: www.mmmonvhf.de/latest.php?id=2896). We need to make
the decision on what antenna we will use on 144. We definitely want to
use one single cross-yagi. We would like to use the experience of other
DXpeditions and home-stations: Does anyone have experience with the
2MXP28 and/or the 32JXX2? Is there any other antenna (with such
performance, size and weight) you would recommend? Please send us your
comments and suggestions!
Many thanks! vy 73 Dan, HB9CRQ/KT6Q head of HB9Q www.hb9q.ch [MMMonVHF]

Rejection of C91VM QSL IOTA activities:
For those wishing to claim credit for October 2009 contacts with C91VM
(AF-061, AF-066, AF-088), please be aware that, in response to the
operator's current published QSL policy, these three operations will not
be accepted for IOTA accreditation. Clarification is awaited from the
operator that a policy change will be made immediately to the effect
that payment of USD 5 is not obligatory and that cards sent direct with
sufficient return postage will be answered direct in a timely fashion. A
prompt amendment to the policy notice on QRZ.com is therefore required
if accreditation is to be reconsidered.
