[VHFcontesting] Going to the Falkland Islands(VP8)....

[Marshall-K5QE]

Somehow, there is talk that a DXpedition is going to the Falkland 
Islands for 2M SSB.  There may be such an expedition, but I doubt it.  
Here is the announcement that I have posted to Moon-Net and to MMMonVHF.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Arliss-W7XU, Holly-N0QJM, and Marshall-K5QE would like to announce a 
DXpedition to the Falkland Islands(VP8).  Arliss and Marshall will be 
operating 2M EME from a farm outside Stanley, courtesy of Neil-VP8AWU.  
Neil has agreed to host us while we are there and we owe him a large 
debt of gratitude.  Thanks Neil.

We will arrive at VP8 on Saturday, the 14th of March, 2015 and depart on 
Saturday, the 28th.  We hope to be set up and operating by Monday, March 
16th.  We will operate until March 26th and then we will tear down and 
fly out.  Call signs are not yet arranged.

Arliss and Marshall will be doing 2M EME whenever the moon is up.  Holly 
likes to do RTTY and she will be doing that on 20M and 30M.

The airline tickets are purchased and paid for.  We have a reservation 
at a Bed & Breakfast in Stanley.  At the current time, we are rounding 
up all the gear and testing it out.

We will have Internet at the B&B, but we are not sure about out at the 
farm.  We will let you know on that later.

We certainly do hope that we can work you while we are in VP8. So, get 
the ice off your antennas and listen up for us.
