- TN2MS DXpedition to Republic of the Congo, in cooperation with Mercy Ships in 2013.
In that DXpedition we did a project on board the hospitalship Africa Mercy. All shore-vehicles were fitted with automatic GPS reporting over private mobile radio for safety purposes. After completing the project we had 11 days for a DXpedtion to bring Republic of the Congo on the air, whilst promoting (and sponsoring) the work of Mercy Ships.
Operators were Arie PA3A, Ad PA8AD, Angelina PA8AN and Marian PD1AEG.
Equipment: Kenwood TS2000 + linear, Elecraft K3 + KPA500
Antennas: Spiderbeam (3-band and 5-band), Lightweight beam 6m 2-el, homebrew K9AY-loop and several monoband verticals.
Would have nice to have newer equipment like Elecraft K4, or Kenwood TS-890s, Yaesu FTDX-101D or FTDX-101MP, ANAN and HERMES SDR's. Then again, not available at that time.
Music used in the video: Ferré Gola
CD's supplied by local friends in Republic of the Congo.
