Hello, ? A short update. ? - Yesterday I have send the license request to Artec. Today I have received the proforma invoices.
There was one mistake made by Artec which cannot been corrected: the call sign for Gerben will be: 5R8GW instead of 5R8CW. The other callsign will be: 5R8GW, 5R8MM and 5R8WP. I have send the proforma invoices to the radio club, now I have to wait for the bank details. It is approx. 35 Euro each. I will make the bank transfer otherwise we will have 4 time bank transaction costs. ? - We have made a one-drive to share files with each other. You will receive a joined request from Gerben.
All the license, passport files are there, but also some other files. There is also an Excel sheet with equipment and so on, look at it and update this will if needed. ? - Gerben and I have decided to use 2 Elecraft K3 instead of 1. The SDR radio is for spare.
? - Martin PA4WM confirmed me to use his 160m vertical (which will be used also on Swains).
We only need radials for this antenna. ? - The main laptops will be from Gerben and my. These have US keyboards. We will bring external US keyboards and mouse also. Maybe we can use also an external German keyboard?
? - Headsets; maybe it’s the best everybody bring his own headset. Especially if we use K3 radio’s. A default Heil headset will work.
We have 3.5 inch stereo connector for headset and a 3.5 inch mono connector for microphone. (If you have a Heil microphone with a dynamic element (for Icom), this will not work with an Elecraft radio). ? - This week I will start unpacking the Swains boxes to see what equipment, cables and so on, I have for 5R8 and start updating the Excel sheet.
? - During our DXpedition time, also the Russians are active from TY.
? Gerben and I have our eVisa for 5R8, we have to pay at customs at the airport. ? Please check if you have all vaccinations for Madagascar including Covid-19. (I have also 2 boosters).

Hello Guenter, ? I think changing laptops is maybe complicated each time, but if we want to do this, it’s fine for me. Within WSJTx it is easy to switch. Installing WSJTX 4 times in different directories and ready. Within N1MM it’s also easy, everybody get his own database. It is even possible to connect WSJTx direct to N1MM, so all QSO’s will be logged in N1MM. But the log can still be on 2 laptops, that is for sure, callsign checking will be difficult. ? If we use our own laptop everybody can configure it the way he want it, even if you want to log with another program like Logger32, MSHV, WSJTz. We only have to be aware that if one K3 is broken we have to use the SDR2, and we have no software installed for it on our laptops. In that case we have to use Gerben his laptop. ? Let me know what you want so, everybody can configure the laptops in advance. ? 73 Ronald ? ? ? ?

If we take the ICOM as reserve, we need to find out if we can use the same cable/connectors as we have for the K3. I don’t know the ICOM so can’t judge it. I will bring the SunSDR2PRO anyhow. It is small and just a few KGs. So I leave the decision for the ICOM to the three of you. ? Each using his own laptop is fine for me. For CW that is simple but for FT8 (I have no experience there) you might have a configuration with the laptop sound card or so, which makes it more complicated perhaps. Can’t judge or advise. ?

Ronald, ? I was planning to bring the SunSDR2PRO which is 20 Watts. For the SPE amplifier you need less than 10 Watts, so that is a good match. Only when the amplifier will be damaged, we would only have 20 Watts if also one of the K3’s is defect. How likely is that. I can also bring the SunSDR2DX which is 100 Watts, but a few more KGs. We can better judge when we have a more complete overview of all the materials and weight. If we need to take measures to reduce weight, we could decide to that a smaller/lighter spare transceiver. Perhaps we discuss this at a later stage. ? Gerben ?
