EDITOR'S NOTES: WOW! What a week for DXing. A
lot of exciting activity is expected in the coming week and
weekend due to the CQ World-Wide DX Phone Contest, October
28-29th. Also, do not forget about the Kingman Reef DXpedition
and the German DXpedition to Eritrea. Have fun! P.S. If someone
wants to put together for me a nice CQWW SSB Contest List of all
the operations (ASCII format, no graphics, keep it under 80
characters wide), I will send it out before next weekend to all
OPDX InterNet Subscribers.

Dragan/Z32AU, Mome/Z32ZM and Ray/YS1RR (still not confirmed).
Earlier in the week, there were some concerns raised on the
groups operation during the hurricane season. Hrane reported the
following: "This year the huricane season will be starting
10 to 15 of Nov. 2000 and will finsh at about 1 Jan. 2001 so
later on, in the middle of January the sea is in calm again. The
captain told me that after the Christmas season the weather is ok
for dx epedition." Anyway, the press release states that the
team will fly from LA to Fiji in the first days of February and
expecting to arrive in Fiji earlier in the morning. They will
depart in their boat from the Fiji Port "Pacifik
Harbour" on the afternoon of February 5th. The team join all
together at the airport Nanadi. They will then take a boat trip
at sea, which is quite long, for about 40 hours. They expect to
arrive on Conway about 4:00 to 6:00 AM (local time) on February
7th in the morning. Hrane states that the boat "is big, 20
meters long and has 10 sleeping places, and we will have
profesional kitchen." They will then start to assemble
antennas, towers, tents, generators..etc... etc., and will try
very quickly to have the first station on the air. They plan to
have all 3 station active and working at all times around the
clock, until February 15th. After the operation, they will return
to Fiji where they will stay for 3 days on the island to operate.
They will return to L.A. on February 19th. All the operators,
with exception of YU1RL and YT1AD, will go back to Europe from
L.A., and YU1RL and YT1AD will go to El Salvador to operate in
the ARRL Contest from YS1RR QTH.

the CQ's contests. QSL cards will be sent via the OE bureau. If

permission to run 1 kw on all bands. The two operators will have
a tribander (and maybe 2 more and a WARC-bander depending on
repairs) and wire antennas. Charly states, "These are
totally self-financed trips, so no web site, no huge 160 meters
antennas, no E-mail, and so on, but we plan to have a lot of
fun." Charly's callsign will be A52UD (Yani's was not
mentioned). Charly will be on SSB and CW, emphasizing the low
bands, and Jani plans RTTY. QSL requests for A52UD go to K4VUD
(direct with SASE is faster, bureau replies will be very slowt);
Jani will announce his separate QSL address and policy. Anyone

SPECIAL EVENT (Extinguishing of "Last Oil
Well"). On August 2, 1990, the Iraqi forces
brutally occupied the state of Kuwait. Baghdad refused all
worldwide appeals to withdraw. Consequently, the world waged a
