4W6A TIMOR-LESTE (EAST TIMOR) DXPEDITION SEPTEMBER 16 – 26, 2011

PRESS RELEASE NUMBER 6: September 9, 2011

This is the sixth and final press release before the 4W6A DXpedition.
The bulk of the equipment, including the linear amplifiers, the
Titanex V160E vertical, Hexbeam and other antennas, left Darwin,
Australia, on 6 September. It has all arrived safely in Dili,
Timor-Leste, and is now awaiting the arrival of the team next week.

9M6DXX and 9M6XRO leave Malaysia on 12 September for a transit stop in
Bali, from where they plan to be active 'holiday style' as YB9/G4JVG
and YB9/GM3OOK respectively. Unfortunately, due to a late change of
airline timetable, they will not now arrive in Dili before the
afternoon of Friday 16 September. The chartered boat taking the team
and the equipment to Atauro Island has therefore been rescheduled to
later that afternoon.

It is likely that only one or two stations will be on the air that day
as the team will run out of daylight before all the antennas can be
erected. The remainder of the antenna work will commence at first
light the following morning (approximately 2115UTC on 16 September)
and 4W6A should be fully operational by the morning (UTC) of 17
September.

4W6A will be QRV on all bands 10 to 160 metres, using CW, SSB and RTTY
with up to four stations simultaneously. It is hoped that log search
will be available, thanks to the Clublog facility (go to
www.4w6a.com/qsl-information/log-search), but this is dependent on a
reliable Internet connection being available on the island. Col,
MM0NDX, is the pilot for 4W6A and is responsible for providing
feedback to the team. He may be contacted at

The QSL manager is M0URX, direct (SAE plus 1 IRC / $2), via the
bureau, or LoTW. The entire log will be uploaded to LoTW as quickly as
possible after the end of the operation or, if possible, also during
the DXpedition. Direct or bureau QSLs may also be requested using the
M0URX Online QSL Request Service (OQRS) at http://m0urx.com/oqrs
(there is also a link from the 4W6A website at
www.4w6a.com/qsl-information).

We look forward to having fun in the pile-ups and we hope you have fun
chasing 4W6A. 73, The 4W6A Team.
