OCTOBER 19 – Setting up in the desert of Mauritania. 80m vertical and 40m delta-loop.
OCTOBER 11, 2019 — Johannes 5T5PA and Evert 5T2KW inform DX-World that they will be active in October 2019 from a special location in Mauritania from the evening of the 19th until the morning of the 26th.
Evert, 5T2KW
Their main focus is on Low Bands (160m / 80m / 60m & 40m). Johannes will be mostly active on SSB and some FT8. Evert will concentrate on CW.
They will setup separate verticals for 80m and 160m and delta-loops for 40m and 60m. Receiving antennas = 3 beverages (direction JA/EU, NA, SA/VK/ZL).
There will be a daily upload on Club Log for both stations. LoTW will be uploaded after the DXpedition. QSL is OQRS via Club Log.
Johannes, 5T5PA
5T2KW, thank you for the 160m CW QSO (UTC 2019-10-25, 02:34). We have heavy QRN here due to lightning to the west and south of my location. Your signal made it through! I’m running 100 watts here into an inverted L. You have great ears! Vy 73/best DX de N5CM John
Great Evert. 160 CW this morning (about 0145) – partly audible in A6 with QSB, but you still managed to hear my signal from a non-beverage direction. Thanks for your good ears and patience.
Great signal tonight (21-Oct) @ 01:34Z on 160 meter CW, good ears on your end as well. Good luck and thanks for the qso.

In the picture with Evert in the beach, behind him, so far away I can see a lighthouse. In Mauritania there are 5 LH recognized by the ARLHS. Are you planning to activate one of thes LH, too ?. Many thanks. Hope to ear you in the bands.
Good luck guys!
