I will be the op for 160m CW during the YB8Y activation from Kei Kecil
Islands (OC-221), grid loc PI64mh on1822.5 kHz +/-.
I will be flying to location in March 17th and will join the advanced team
members which their arrival would be two days earlier.
Using Elecraft K3 and Acom 1000 into vertical TX antenna. For RX, I will be
using the 4-sq RX array from Hi-Z Antenna.
All equipment were already shipped by sea in few days ago so there will not
be my activity on TB from home QTH until the end of March 2012.
