The July 18-25 Lesotho 7P8 DXpedition sponsor by the Lone Star DX
Association and the Texas DX Society has added amateur satellite mode to its
planned operations, DXpedition Leader Charles Frost, K5LBU/7P8TA has
announced.
The operation will be on the AO-40 satellite. The uplink will be U--band
(70cm). Equipment including antennas and a down converter were donated by
Wayne Estes, W9AE, and a spare down converter donated by Bruce Paige, KK5DO.

"We're glad to offer such a needed mode from Lesotho," Frost said, adding
that those wanting to make a contact with the DXpedition "take it easy on
us because none of us are satellite operators, but we are
willing to try our best at giving everyone who wants one a 7P8 QSO."
Operations will be will be at the Hotel Mount Maluti
http://www.seelesotho.com/mountmaluti.htm near Mohale's Hoek
(30.16 S and 27.48 E).
QSLs will be handled by each operator separately via their home calls as
each will have their own 7P8 call.
QSL routes are: 7P8CF--K5LBU--Frosty; 7P8TA--WW5L--Tom;
7P8MJ--W5MJ--Madison; 7P8NK--VA7DX--Neil; 7P9DA--K4SV--Dave; and
7P8IZ--W0IZ--Igor.
