Our Club will be operating a DXpedition from Lundy Island, details as follows:-
Callsign: GB2LI
Date: 21-28 September 2004
Location: The Barn, Lundy Island.
Maidenhead Locator: IO71QD
WAB: SS14
IOTA: EU-120
Latitude: 51° 10' North; Longitude:4° 40' West.
There is a Packet APRS Beacon for GB2LI such that the Beacon Appears as "IOTA" on the APRS map display.

Bands: 80-10 meters, possible 160 meters, 6 & 2 meters with small antennas.
Modes: CW & SSB
Equipment: Yaesu FT-990 & Icom IC-706IIG @ 100w
Antennas: Multi band vertical 40-80 meters, Mini HF beam & Long Wire for 80 & 160 meters.
QSL: Via G3YBT (QTHR)
There will be no operation between 23:59-0600 hours (local time) due to the Island generators being shut down over night.
Operators are: G4GWR Andrew, G3YBT Colin, G8TTI Dave, G3PNH Bernard, G0FGR Bert, 2E0HLT Andy, G4SUX Richard & G0GRI Ian.
The Chippenham DXpedition will be operating on or near to the IOTA frequencies as per demand and propagation.
We also intend to operate on as many
satallites as possible.We certainly will be on the new ECHO FM satalite aka A0-51. We also will
attempt operation of A0-7, FO-29, SO-50, SO-41.
We do not have a lot DXpedition experience or QRQ CW experience but operators will certainly be having a go on the key.
However our Club Chairman Andrew (G4GWR)has had experience back in 1982, when he took part in a joint University College London (G3UCL)& Imperial College London (G5YC) DXPedition.
They where issued the Callsighns C31YG & C31YF, C31YG was used for all contacts on most HF bands and 2m band.
The DXPedition received sponsorship from Land Rover, in the form of a short wheelbase Land Rover. And the Amateur Radio Exchange (now Martin Lynch & sons)lent them equipment. Hoverspeed gave a discount for the Hovercraft Crossing, and the University paid for a lot of the fuel costs.
So our Lundi Island team is in good hands..HI.
