A91HI – Hawar Island, AS-202-NEW

The last 18 months have seen considerable efforts and dialogue with various departmental offices in Bahrain, and we are now in a position to proudly announce that members of Bahrain Amateur Radio Group, led by Fawaz A92AA, will conduct a first ever activation of the Hawar Islands AS-202 – a new IOTA group which was added to the IOTA Directory in July 2014. All paperwork and permits are now in hand.

During the period April 28 to May 1, 2016, a dedicated team will put Hawar island on the air with the sole aim of giving this new IOTA to as many stations as possible. With up to 4 stations running simultaneously on CW, SSB and Digi your chance to work AS-202 is greatly enhanced.

Our website is now on line. Please visit www.a91hi.com for full details. We are also on Facebook and Twitter.

As with all unique projects, costs soon add up. To date the team have met all expenses including licensing costs, transportation fees, permits, accommodation for 4 nights stay/shelter in addition to general logistics costs.

As the weeks progress we will issue more news updates.

Fawaz, A92AA for Bahrain Amateur Radio Group.
