Again we are ready for another IOTA. The IOTA will be at the beautiful Coral Island “St. Martin’s” in the Bay of Bengal. Look for us from 21st February to 25th February 2010 at different popular band.
St. Martin is the only coral island in Bangladesh (S2) and belongs to IOTA AS-127 Chittagong region group. There is also a lighthouse in the Island (WLOTA #2351) very near our camp site. There is no electricity and no motor vehicle in the Island which makes the air interfearence free, idle for us.
We will have two station and few antennas like last time:
- ICOM IC7000
- Yeasu FT600
- ICOM 706MKIIG (backup)
Operators will be:
- S21RC
- S21AM
- S21S
- S21D
- S21SZ
Callsign applied for the IOTA: S21DX
We will power the stations with 1KVA generator and 2x 125AH batteries.
We need your help to make the IOTA more effective. We need the folowing:
- Beam Antenna (Received one 5 band spiderbeam kit on 17th January 2010, thanks to GDXF, Spiderbeam and EB7DX)
- Bandpass filter
- Amplifier (we managed one very old Icom ic2kl amp, hope it will work)
