Dxpedition with a difference!Saturday Nov 28, 2009
Leaving in February 2011, John Edwards, M0JAX, is looking for 22 people with a full licence to join a DXpedition to Bahrain (A9).
He’s planning a two week trip based at the InterContinental hotel with eight stations on the air 24 hours a day. Operators will be working in three shifts to keep the station on the air for the two weeks.
John is making all the various arrangements including travel and accommodation but would be interested in hearing from radio amateurs who have an interest in making the trip. A preliminary trip is being organised for February 2010 to check suitability for antennas and the stations, including drawing up a list of the necessary equipment.
If you are interested, send your details and why you think you would be an asset to this DXpedition to the RadCom offices and your letters will be passed on to M0JAX.

I am a veteran of seven DXpeditions and can bring that experience, CW contesting, and technical skills to the project.
I have been licensed since 1946, first as W8YHV, and as W4PRO since 1949. I am 80 years of age and in excellent health.
Before retirement, I worked for NASA as a robotics engineer. Earlier in my woring life, I was a radio technician and radio operator.
I recently operated in the CQ WW CW contest at NR4M, a multmulti station in Northern virginia.
My DXpedition experience is as follows:
1973 VP2MDX with W4GSM
1976 FG0CXV/FS with W4GSM and N4DJ
1981 W4PRO/CE0 with W4GSM
1991 VP5VEC with W8HDD and AA4NG
1992 W4PRO/SV5 solo
2001 YK9A with W4DR, N4CFL, VE7CC, N7RO, K9LA, et al
2004 A52PRO SOLO
2004 9N7PR SOLO
I have participated in the ARRL Field Day for almost every year since 1947 which involved selecting antenna sites, setting up equipment, operating in the field, and making emergency repairs with limited resources.
I am looking forward to joining your team.
Marion (Jim) Wise, W4PRO
