We've been given a DXpedition window of February 12 - 26, 2009.

These are planned bands, modes and frequencies. Of course these may get adjusted because of QRM:

Note: On 6m there will be only CW/SSB operations.

Note: They are fully aware of the (U.S.) bands plans and they will lso listen above 14225 kHz.
