from Djibouti City (WW Loc. LK11NN ) sometime this month and September
(no specific dates announced yet). His activity will be on 40-10 meters

that I can put it in my backpack." Equipment is a FT450d w/100w into
antennas loop 21m (he is looking for a better antenna and more band).
Updated QSL info is via F4DXW direct only. Watch QRZ.com for updates.
J3, GRENADA (Update to OPDX.1571). Greg, N9GB, will be active as J38GB
from Grenada between August 12-19th. He states [edited], "It is likely
that there essentially will be no operation occurring on August 12th
because we arrive late, and it will take some time to deploy the wire
antenna. I tried it out this past weekend on a trip to GA and all checked
out except for being able to load it on 75 meters. There just isn't enough
wire to allow the tuner to match it. The equipment will be a 7300, external
tuner (thank you ZAP), and an off center fed dipole with balun and using
N1MM for logging. I am not sure what floor we are staying but hope to find
that out by Wednesday of this week. I expect to be on CW and SSB on 40-6
meters including the WARC bands, but operation will be secondary to
enjoying some vacation and relaxation. If possible I will try some FT8,
but I believe my laptop has a bad sound card in it and will nix that."
Greg stated a couple of weeks ago that his band plan will likely be 30
kHz above the bottom of band for CW and xxx90 for SSB (eg. 14190, 21290,
etc). QSL via his home callsign (QRZ.com), LoTW, and possibly ClubLog.
