May 29, 2012, from A5A Bhutan DXpedition
Greetings from Bhutan. A couple notes to report. The past few days have been full of official meetings for Zorro and his international survey team (Harvard, Waseda, The University of Tokyo, and SEISA) with the Bhutan Government officials. The
Ministry of Education, Health, Economics, and even Bhutan's Football
(soccer) The team has been on the calendar discussing future needs. KL2A
and ZL1GO were in on the action as well entertaining 20+ university
students in the A5A shack for a live demonstration of the radio and
introducing (more politely, urging) the very exciting reality that some
in the room would become charter members of the future Royal Thimphu
College Radio Club. We called CQ and answered a CQ by M0REX. The FGC is
delighted to donate the radio and equipment including ordering an
installation of a new first radio tower for the club. The ceremony is
forthcoming.
The radio condx are very good to the needed areas and we are working hard to be available on those paths. We have seen long openings in our darkness on the high bands, it is quite exciting. We have been running the 6m beacon most of the day and are working on the lower bands now as well. Club Log is underway as JJ1LIB has departed back to Japan and will officiate these duties daily. Please keep your comments coming, follow us on Twitter for live updates, and thank you for your support! We are honored to add one more to your rankings.
