DXPedition To Bhutan A5A (28°28'N 89°35'E)Welcome to the A5A Bhutan 2012 DXpedition website.
The FGC DX Group (*Foundation for Global Children) is pleased to announce our next multi-national DXpedition to Bhutan, callsign A5A. We will begin operations by May 24, 2012 and will run until June 6th. We will activate 80-6m including the WARC bands using modes: SSB, CW, and RTTY. We will erect high gain antennas, utilize receive antennas, and run amplifiers at 3 stations. The QTH is in the mountains (more info very soon) and we are aware of where Bhutan is needed most and will focus on these areas when the band is open there. Also, we intend to listen carefully to the needs (see Poll here) of the DX community during the operation by monitoring the activity on our website (coming soon), and other social media outlets for band openings, and dialogue with the radio community. Please join our conversation. PurposeThe main purposes of our visit are: 1. Field survey for improvement of educational and medical environment with accompanying professors and doctors, and meetings with relevant officials and specialists for the projects in Bhutan. 2. Establish a radio station at Royal Thimphu College (first private college in Bhutan), and provide basic HAM radio lessons to RTC students. 3. Work as many Radio Amateurs around the world as possible, especially the needed areas such as: North America Central #18, Mountain #17, and Eastern #22 Zones. Who else needs A5? Let us know what bands and modes at our Poll here. |
