Thursday morning, three years after our first contact in Iran, members
of the Rockall Dx Group will be leaving Brussels at 12 o'clock local
time. Flying to Teheran (via Moscow) where we have to change airport for
the domestic flight to Kish Island AS-166. We have 30 fully packed
suitcases filled with radio equipment and antennas. Radios will be
carried as hand luggage which leaves about 6 kg of personal stuff for
each operator.

 

We expect arrival on Kish island January 16th early morning. As soon as
we have approval from the local police we can start building antennas.
Priority will be lowband TX. 40m four-square and Hexbeams setting up the
equipment in the shack is planned after sunset . EP6T will probably be
going on air early morning of January 17th, but remember that we have
not been sleeping for 36 hours at that time! Lowband RX antennas and 10m
yagi will go up during the next day. We will be off air for a few hours
to finish the station setup.

 

There will be two groups of 5 people operating in 4 hour shifts, around
the clock. Again we want to ask people in Europe and Asia for your
cooperation when we have propagation to North America, since this is the
most difficult path on all bands. Listen to the operators instructions,
and we will all be enjoying the pile ups.

 

There has been some deliberate QRM on 80 meters during the last months,
the EP6T operators are aware of this, so turn your VFO away from the QRM
and maybe you will find us calling a little bit below or above our
announced frequency.

On Top Band we may be listening 1803 - 1810 for NA if EU/AS signals are
causing too much trouble. Again, listen to the operators instructions.

 

We would like some signal reports from NA on 10 and 160m. Please send
these reports via ep6t em rockall.be <mailto:ep6t em rockall.be>  so we can
adjust according to propagation openings. We will have daily updates
from our pilots. If you want to know the best time to work us, use the
link to K6TU on our website <http://www.rockall.be/> . When we have
internet access you will find pictures, updates and the online log as
well. Don't forget the donate button which gives you a free QSL card for
your QSO with EP.

 

Social media is covered by Bjorn, ON9CFG, twitter #EP6T

We would like to say a big "THANK YOU" to Dr Fard, Mrs. Mortazavi and
our assistants in Iran helping us getting EP6T on air, without them this
expedition would not be possible.
