Hi!<\/p>\n

A long dream of mine is about to come true.<\/p>\n

Being a professional Tour Operator, focused on the pacific ocean area (see www.kiaoraviaggi.it<\/a> ) I’ve always wanted to have a go at EME from the other side.<\/p>\n

French Polynesia had to be the natural choice, and here we are!<\/p>\n

It take a good deal of effort to organize an EME Dxpedition, lots of stuff to bring abroad, careful planning for dates and location, and technical skill in order to reach a good result.<\/p>\n

Looking at the best in the business (A Team) I started to plan everything since november 2014, trying to match the family, professional and hamradio requirements.<\/p>\n

Basing on the VY good “Moonsked” software from GM4JJJ I selected the timeframe between 3 and 10 of september 2015 to be active, with good declination and skynoise, paying attention to the max EU window possible, since the location on FO allows only a little time for common moon window.<\/p>\n

Next step, of course, had to be the choice of the location.<\/p>\n

Several contraints applied:<\/p>\n

1) Good Take off, especially at moon rise<\/p>\n

2) AC available 24\/7<\/p>\n

3) Reachable from Tahiti International Airport not only by flight (weight contraints)<\/p>\n

4) Internet Connection<\/p>\n

The choice has fallen over Moorea Island, precisely at Moorea Golf Lodge<\/a>\u00a0where a beach front bungalow has been booked.<\/p>\n

Here is the exact location.<\/p>\n
