[NEWS] – An update by Ben, DA1DX –
QRV starting either 09-Apr-2025 00:00z or 10-Apr-2025 00:00z. This depends on our final decision how to reach our QTH upon arrival: by public ferry boats with an over-night stay on Tortola Island – or (faster) by private airplane charter which can bring us there in just under 30 minutes and let us get "on the air” one full day earlier..
QRT on Sunday, 27-Apr-2025 12:00z. We’ll need the rest of the day to take down all antennas and prepare for our departure on 28-Apr-2025 in the early morning.
The total weight of our equipment is around 560 kg. We have sent out two oversize parcels by UPS (2x 30kg = 60kg), which contain all aluminum and fiberglass masts, as well as the (two) Spiderbeam fiberglass tubings, the DX Commander and the 6m antenna and two supportive 14m long fishing rods. The rest (500 kg) is transported as (paid) excess baggage on the aircraft: 17 checked-in hardcase suitcases (75x50x32cm), 4 cabin trolleys and 4 back-packs, which count as the "personal item” according to the airline’s regulations.
