for the following DX information.
3V8, TOUZER, TUNISIA AND KERKENNAH ISLAND (Rare IOTA).
Thanks for the update by the 425 DX News. Giovanni/I5JHW, and his
group (I5NSR, I5OYY, IK5EKB, IK5FTQ, IK5JAN, IK5SQX and IK5ZTW)
have received permission to be active from Touzer (mainland) and
Kerkennah Island (IOTA AF-073) using the callsign 3V8BT from both
locations. By the time you read this, the team of operators
should be active from Touzer until March 21st. They will move
onto Kerkennah Islands and be active March 24-26th. So look for
3V8BT on 40/15/20/10 meters. QSL via I5JHW either direct
(Giovanni Bini, Via Santini 30, 51031 Agliana - PT, Italy) or
through the bureau.
4S, SRI LANKA. John, NZ9Z, will be visiting
here April 1-23rd. He plans to operate SSB and CW, and perhaps
some RTTY on all bands from 80 through 10 meters. He is hoping to
get the callsign 4S7NZG (the "G" is for guest
operators). He will be using the NCDXF/IARU beacons to spot
openings to North America on the higher bands. (The 10-meter 4S7B
beacon has been heard shortpath in the Midwest about 1530Z.) QSL
via W9DXA, the NorthEast Wisconsin Dx Association (NEWDXA).
4W, EAST TIMOR (New one to work!). If you are
not one of OPDX's InterNet Subscribers you may have missed the
announcement that East Timor is now a new DXCC entity. This
brings the DXCC entities total to 332. The 4W prefix may confuse
some old timers in DXing because this prefix used to belong to
the Yemen Arab Republic before the North and South Yemen reunited
as one country (Democratic Republic of Yemen, prefix
"7O") in May 1990. For DXCC purposes, UN Temporary
Administration of East Timor will be added to the DXCC List with
the effective date of March 1, 2000. QSL cards for QSOs made
after that date will be accepted starting October 1, 2000.
Currently, there are a few stations active from here. Look for
Ross, VK8UN, to be active as 4W6UN. He has been spotted on 40, 20
and 10 meters CW/SSB. QSL 4W6UN via VK3OT. Also, look for Thor,
TF1MM, to be active as 4W6MM. He has been very active on 20 and
10 meters CW (usually after 1100z for a few hours and again after
0230z). QSL 4W6MM via TF1MM. Also, the UN Amateur Radio Club
station, 4U1ET, is supposed to be active, but we have not seen
any QSN reports yet. In the upcoming weeks, look for Neville,
VK2QF, to be active as 4W6/VK2QF from March 29th to April 5th.
Details of this operation can be found on the Web page: http://www.winsoft.net.au/~vk2qf/4w6un/4w6_vk2qf.html.
4W DX NEWS FLASH! Just before going to print,
Bernie, W3UR, editor of "The Daily DX", announced the
following (edited excerpts): "An International team from
Finland, Portugal and the United States has been formed to help
celebrate the birth of a new DXCC entity, East Timor. Members of
the team will arrive late this week for a 7 to 10 day operation.
The group has been invited to stay in the home of Thor
Stefansson, 4W6MM. His QTH is a DXers dream location including
ten (10) 150-foot towers, which will be utilized by the group.
The team will include Olli/OH0XX/4W6xx, Jose/CT1EEB/4W6EB; and
Bernie/W3UR/4W6DX and Pertti/OH2RF/4W6RF who will join in the
middle of the operation after finishing up at TX0DX. Several UN
personnel stationed in East Timor may also join in on the
operation depending on their work duties including Ross, 4W6UN;
Thor, 4W6MM; and Antonio, CT1EGH. In order to work as many of the
Deserving as possible the group will use the callsign 4W6DX on
all bands from 10 to 160 meters on CW, SSB and possibly RTTY. The
4W6DX group will be working closely with the TX0DX team in the
Chesterfield Islands in order to minimize interference and
confusion. For the first several days of operation concentration
will be given to CW and SSB on a few bands that will be open
around the clock. Planned operating frequencies are:
