Announcement

In February 1998 I will go into Tonga and Western Samoa and will take an amateur station with me. I'll travel with HB9DLZ, Daniel Lamon, and it's our first 'real' DXpedition. We'll be qrv from 80 to 10m (including the WARC bands) and will concentrate on Europe, mostly in CW. I'm a fan of the 30 meters band so you'll find me here for sure!!
