2018 Macao DXpedition

After 8 months of preparation for this DXpedition, we are proud to announce
a DXpedition to Macao (XX9) from the night of March 9th, 2018 to March
17th, 2018.

Although this DXpedition does not count on donations, participants will be
supporting all costs for transporting 215 kgs of equipments, as well as
costs with air tickets, accommodation, meals and so on.

The team will be formed by Bom/XX9LT, Leo/PP1CZ, Junior/PR7AB, Claudio/
PY2MC, Alex/PY2SEX, Alex/PY2WAS, Miguel/PY3MM, Fernando/PY4BZ,
Herminio/PY5HSD, Beto/PY6RT and Jim/PY7XC.

CTT (Post Office and Telecommunications Agency of Macao) has not confirmed
our callsign yet, but all forms have already been signed and submitted and
Bom is supporting the team with it locally. It is expected for the next
days and will be communicated accordingly.

This team plans to work from 10m to 80m. 160m may be eventually worked as a
non-priority band. Three stations will work 24 hours, provided that 1
station will be focusing digital modes, especially RTTY and FT8. We will be
counting on 6 antennas (2 beams, 2 verticals, 1 folded dipole and 1 sloper
double bazooka). There will be a spare transceiver in case of replacement
need.

This DXpedition will count on real time updating log to ClubLog. OQRS
system at ClubLog will be made available to QSL orders by bureau or direct
under the management of PP1CZ.

Thanks to Tony/PY2DY, Fernando/PY2LED, Ric/PY2PT, Carlos/PY2VM and Fred/
PY2XB for all the support they provided to this team.

It is important to highlight that a bootcamp testing operation was held in
the first week of September/2017 to test all equipments and potential
interactions among the stations at the super contest site of PX2A.
Additional care will be taken with preferable QRGs to prevent overlapping
as regards other big DXpeditions at that time, such as Spratly Island and
Easter Island.

Thanks to all ham radio community for their enthusiasm and hunting this
team in the air.
