DXPEDITION REQUIRES SEVERAL OPERATORS, LOTS OF EQUIPMENT AND ACCURATE
LOGISTICS.  WE WERE DETERMINED TO MAKE A LOT OF CONTACTS QSOS USING ALL
BANDS AND MODES, PARTICULARLY THOSE RARELY USED FROM RWANDA, IN ORDER TO
SATISFY THE NEEDS OF THE DX COMMUNITY.  IN 2 MONTHS WE WERE ABLE TO
ASSEMBLE OUR TEAM, GET ALL OUR EQUIPMENT READY AND FIND ACCOMMODATIONS FOR
12 OPERATORS.  OUR TEAMS CORE WAS THE WESTERN SAHARA TEAM VETERANS, WITH
THE ADDITION OF SEVERAL NEW CW OPERATORS.  AS WE HAVE DONE ON ALL PREVIOUS
DXPEDITIONS, WE PLACED ON OUR RWANDA 2008 WEB PAGE WWW.9X0R. COM AN ONLINE
QUESTIONNAIRE ASKING WORLDWIDE DXERS THE BANDS AND MODES THEY NEEDED FOR
RWANDA.  AS WE THOUGHT, ASIANS AND NORTH AMERICANS IN PARTICULAR NEEDED 9X
ESPECIALLY ON THE LOW BANDS.  TEAM OPERATORS WERE TONI, EA5RM JAVIER, EA5KM
BERNARD, F9IE JAVI, EC4DX GERARD, EA3EXV MANUEL, EA7AJR DIMA, UY7CW
