I would like to announce THE FIRST EVER IOTA ACTIVITY FROM EGYPT.
( SU8IOTA ) DX-Pedition from the Disuqi (also know as Nelson) Island in the Mediterranean sea (AF-NEW).
Duration from 23 April 2005 until 1 May 2005. Operated by Hossam (SU1HM) Said Kamel (SU1SK)
Tarek (SU2TA) Sayed (SU1SA) Activity will be on 160-6 meters on the usual DX and IOTA frequencies.
For Modes and updates please check http://www.qrz.com/su8iota
Nelson Island lies approximately 20 kilometres east of the Egyptian port
of Alexandria, four kilometres north of Cape Aboukir and guards the northern
approach of Aboukir Bay, which is the western part of the Nile Delta.
In antiquity Aboukir Bay provided one of the primary commercial routes
leading into the Nile River and consequently became a major commercial
and religious centre. The position of Nelson's Island ensured that it
too became an important site and also great archaeological importance.
