Dr. Karl-Heinz Ilg, DK2WV, will once again be active from here this time with a team of operators. Karl informs OPDX that in June this year, during his stay in Sierra Leone, he not only operated as 9L0W, but had the honor of speaking to the President of the University of Freetown. He was asked if he (and others) could conduct a course in Amateur Radio. In October and November this year Karl and his team will volunteer to help in the planning of the technical promotion and conduct training courses for those who are interested in Amateur Radio. Further- more, Karl will also present the university with materials and radio equipment.

All training and activity is plannned to take place in the time frame of October 21st to November 11th, 2008. They expect to operate during this time under the same callsign, 9L0W. The German participants mentioned are Roland/DJ4LK, Franz/DJ9ZB, Karl/DK2WV, Hans/DL1YFF and one 9L1 national. All participants have a solid background of several successful DXpeditions. Activity will be on 160-6 meters. They are planning to operate with up to 3 stations, with amplifiers and different antennas. The antennas are Spiderbeams and for the low-bands phased arrays, K9AY loops and/or beverages are planned as low-band receiving antennas. QSL via DK2WV, direct (SASE w/sufficient funds to cover the postage) or by the bureau. E-mail requests will be sent via bureau, including those arrived without adequate funds. The 9L0W team is looking for sponsors to help cover the high costs of nearly 14,000 USDs for this operation in addition to the air fares of the participants. They are depending on donations from DX organizations. If you have any questions, please send them via E-mail to: k.ilg@arcor.de
