Subject: EU-068 2001 Contest UPD1
Dear Reader,
It is with much pleasure that I make the first update announcement of the
forthcoming IOTA expedition to the Isle de Sein EU-068 for the IOTA contest
in 2001. This island is in CQ Zone 14, ITU Zone 27, Lat. 48›02'N, Long.
04›51'W., Locator IN78NA, DIFM AT-007 & DDFM 29.
This expedition group, known as " The Minkies Boys" will probably be under
the co-ordination of Wilfried ON4AVA.
The Minkies Boys team will be announced in the next update.
Many members of the team were on our previous expeditions in 1997 to EU-099
The Minkies Reef (Plateau des Minquiers), 1998 EU-114 Guernsey, in 1999
EU-065 Ouessant and last year to the very same Ile de Sein.
Every year we gained knowledge skill and experience, and were placed 7th
worldwide of the Island participants in 1999. We improved our position to
6th in 2000 & we aim to further improve our achievements this year.
At this stage, we expect to reach the island late on the 25th of July 2001,
departing on 30th of July 2001.
We already know from previous years that auto-financing an expedition is an
onerous matter, and in fact is dependant upon some outside help in the form
of Sponsoring, either financially, or by the loan of specialist equipment.
We give credit (publicity) to all sponsors by mention of their name, or
inclusion of their Company Logo on our four-sided full colour QSL card sent
for all contacts made. If you would like to help us, and obtain some
publicity worldwide as well as locally, please get in touch with me.
Please feel free to include information about our plans in your
publications.
I will periodically advise you of further information such as callsigns to
be used in the contest and outside the contest.
Meanwhile we have applied for TM5CK for use outside the contest and expect
to use the callsign F/ON6CK/p during the contest.
QSL manager will also be announced shortly.
