- [NEWS UPDATE] –
With great pleasure, we are happy to announce that after two months of communication with the Embassy of Mozambique in Berlin, we finally received our passports with visas today! There are embassies that are easy to work with, and then there are… the others. You can guess which category the Embassy in Berlin belongs to. But the important thing is: we have the visas, we have the tickets, and we are excited for the expedition, which begins in less than a month!

The tickets have been purchased. Departure is on January 17th. Arrival at the destination and transport to the QTH in the late afternoon of January 18th. In the following days, we will gradually bring each band into operation as local conditions allow. Departure is on February 1st, so we expect to start packing up partially on January 30th and finish everything on January 31st. Therefore, on January 31st, we will probably make our last radio transmission in the morning, if everything goes according to plan.
