>From The Daily DX:

The Pannon DX Club from Hungary has announced the dates of their 
planned DXpedition to Ulan-Bator, Mongolia (see Vol. 2 No. 24).  The
group will be active from the rare zone 23 from 17 May to 2 June.  
The operators include Gabi, HA7SK, Sanyi, HA7VK, Laci, HA6NL, Tomi, 
HA4GDO and Laci, HA0HW.  Individual callsigns have not been announced 
as of yet, however they plan to use their suffix from their home 
calls.  The group will use JU0HA during the CQ WPX CW Contest.  The 
following are the suggested frequencies to look for them on:

Band     CW     SSB     RTTY
160    1821    1841
 80    3511    3789
 40    7011    7089
 30   10101
 20   14011   14189    14079
 17   18071   18141  
 15   21011   21289    21079
 12   24891   24941   
 10   28011   28489

When conditions are open to the US they will work stations above 25 
KHZ from the bottom of the CW bands.  They hope to be able to operate
on RS-10, RS-12, RS-15 and 6 meters.  Individuals, clubs and 
organizations wishing to help with contributions should contact Laci 
Szabo, HA0HW, P.O. Box 24, Puspokladany H-4151, Hungary or by e-mail 
at ha0khw@c3.hu  A webpage has also been established by the Pannon DX 
Club at http://www.dunanet.hu/pannondxc

(...de W4ZV.  The good news is that it's nice to see a major expedition
planned to JT which most in North America needs for Zone 23 on 160.
The bad news is that it is at the WRONG time of the year for 160 and 
will even be marginal for 80 and 40 (even if I were back in Colorado!)

To our HA friends or anyone else planning an expedition to Mongolia:

Please consider December or January next time.  An expedition in late
January would be ideal and could cover the CQ 160 CW weekend.  Yes, I
know it's cold then but QRN would be low and lowband propagation would
be much better due to low absorption in the winter).
