_{Announcement: 1 man 1 luggage holiday-expedition, February 2013}

During my 1 month time off between two employer, I will realize an old dream: A Space-Radio-Dive Expedition.

January 31th to February 3th: KP4/HB9WDF -Puerto Rico (Includ visit of the Arecibo Observatory)

February 4th to February 11: FY/HB9WDF - Kourou, French Guyana (I hope to watch the Launch of Ariane 5 Rocket)
Note: I'm active on the Station from FY5KE which is located in the Space Center Area. On Launch day, the Access to the station is not allowed. No activities on February 7.

February 11 to February 21: FM/HB9WDF - Martinique (A beautiful underwater world)

During my trip, I will be active on satellite (AO-7, FO-29, VO-52 and SO-50 and others if they are active) Also I will be active on HFin PSK-31 and sometimes in SSB.

Please Note: This is a holiday-trip and not a DX-pedition.

More info over my equipment coming soon.
