C9, MOZAMBIQUE. Frosty, K5LBU, informs OPDX readers that "things are looking up for our Dxpedition to Mozambique this July." He states that they will be on the air starting the night of July 16th through the 30th. They will have 2 complete stations; one for CW and one for SSB. Both will have T-8 Log-Periodics thanks to Tennedyne at about 50 feet plus. There will also be a 40 meter 4 square and possibly 80 meter 4 square and 72 foot vertical for 160/80/30 meters. There will also be 6 meters with a M2 6 meter beam. Frosty is hoping to have a new Expert 1K-FA amplifier to try out, but time is about up and without sponsors, they will be using the old IC2KL amps. Look for activity on EME from 6 meters through 70cm (Thanks to Hal/ZS6WB and several other South African hams). Frosty is going to try and make sure that some of their CW operators give CW a shot on EME. The C9 team has several new members and now consists of the following operators:
Charles F. Frost (Frosty) K5LBU - C91CF, QSL via home callsign.
Tom Kramer NQ7R - C91TK, QSL via home callsign.
Jay Sewell W5SL - C91SL, QSL via home callsign.
John Plenderleith 9M6XRO - C91XO*, QSL via M3SDE.
Bill Dzurilla NZ5N - C91BD, QSL via WA4WTG.
Bob Novak K0OK - C91OK*, QSL via home callsign.
Ben Pyfer DJ0YI - C91YI*, QSL via home callsign.
* Callsign pending
Activity will be on all bands from 160-6 this trip. Frosty just hopes that they get some sunspots so that folks can work them on 15/12/10m.
They will have a log search on the Web sometime after their operations

Their InterNet is via a pay as you go cell phone, so don't look for too much from them everyday. ADDED NOTE: John will be leaving the team to go over to Swaziland on the 18th to operate there until the 23rd. His cards should go to his QSL Manager M3SDE.

C9, MOZAMBIQUE (Update). Frosty, K5LBU/C91CF, reports that one of the operators from his group has dropped out of the DXpedition to Mozambique for July, and they are looking for one or two more operators to join them.
They plan on arriving in Maputo on the 16th of July and be picked up by the folks from the Blue Anchor Inn where they will be operating from this July. The same group will take them back to the airport on the 31st of July for their return home. A Web site is up now for the DXpedition at:

If you might like to become a member of their group let Frosty know. His E-mail address is: frosty1@pdq.net
