Radio Amateur reaches Mongolia in Fiat Panda

Despite a small war in Tajikistan Neil Melville PA9N and Helen
Woolnough driving their 9 year old 1.1 litre Fiat Panda, have now made
it to Mongolia.

On Sunday, 19 their location was given as 46.37 N, 96.25 E.

They are taking part in the Mongol Rally where participants drive, in
no more than six weeks, from the UK to Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia, using
a thoroughly unsuitable car of 1.2 litres or less.

Helen and Neil’s entry is called The Uncertainty Principle and they
started on their epic journey from the UK on July 14 driving their 9
year old 1.1 litre Fiat Panda.

They are raising money for the Lotus Children’s Centre Charitable
Trust and UNICEF and aim to cover more than 10,000 miles through 19
countries, with no support, no mechanic, and no clue.

Over the years Neil PA9N has given many presentations to the AMSAT-UK
International Space Colloquium in Guildford, and his first spacecraft
project was XO-53.

On the underside of the bonnet they have an AMSAT-UK logo with the
caption “You can have even more FUN in space”.
