Going on a DXpedition like ours is no small task and requires quite a bit of preparation and planning. Unfortunately often it happens that we don't have all the resources we need to make our plans a success. That's when the help of colleagues in our hobby comes in very handy.

Vladimir Gleyzer, UP0EPC - for providing DXpedition with LDG Electronics autotuner AT-100pro which was the core of our multiband GP antenna as well as for an Italian made multiband dipole - "Dipolo Frilare mod. L56" which is helpful for low-band operation.
