Op 28 maart 2011 vertrekken Arie PA3A, Bas PD0CAV, Ad PA8AD en Arie PA3AN naar Afrika. Daar zal het team gecompleteerd worden met Dickson EL2DT en zal de DXpeditie naar Sierra Leone starten. Belangrijk doel van dit radioamateur project is om het werk van Mercy Ships onder de aandacht te brengen van de wereldwijde radioamateurgemeenschap, zodat zij nog meer support krijgen voor hun missie: de armsten van wereld helpen met gezondheidszorg.
De DXpeditie zal hiervoor bijna 3 weken in de lucht zijn op alle HF-banden in RTTY, CW en SSB. Het team zal zich inspannen om een zo groot mogelijk aantal verschillende amateurs op zoveel mogelijk banden in verschillende modes te werken, zodat ook de kleinere stations de kans hebben verbinding te maken met Sierra Leone.
