A team of 8 Greek Ham Radio operators all members of the National Amateur Radio Society (Radio Amateur Association of Greece - R.A.A.G.) are going to activate the Syrian Island of Arwad (AS-186) for 10 days between November 1 and 15 this year.
The island will be activated for the first time in the IOTA program.
with the call YK9SV.
Special emphasis will be given on the low bands and modes of SSB, CW, RTTY and PSK31. 6M activity is expected if propagation permits.
The team so far consists of: SV1IW, SV1JG, SV1RC, SV1RP, SV1QN, SV1ACK,SV1GYG and SV8CS.
This DX-Pedition is considered to be very expensive due to the special agreements needed for licensing, transportation, operation costs and support of the local Ham Radio Association.
Therefore we would kindly ask for your help and assistance in order to be able to carry out our goal which is a successful operation. We primarily need amateur gear like radios, amplifiers, antennas, coaxial and / or
financial support. In exchange we will put the company's (club or association) logo on our QSL cards. Further promotion will be on our web pages which will cover the event and stay on line for at least 1 year.
There will also be special mention in all articles send to major amateur radio magazines, to mention a few: QST, Radcom, Radio Rivista, CQ DL, Radio REF, 59, Echo Ireland and many others. The story plus many photos will be sent also to major dx associations for presentation to their members and will be also distributed for viewing to major amateur radio events.
