* PLEASE NOTE: The report "could" contain
"Pirate/SLIM" operations. As always, you never know -
"Work First Worry Later" (WFWL).
6 METER PIRATE. Yuri, UA0SJ, in the Russia
Asiatic region, informs OPDX that there has been a station
signing UA0SC on 6 meters. This station is definitely a PIRATE.
5H, TANZANIA. Look for Maurizio, IK2GZU, to
be active from February 5-27th. His callsign will be announced
upon arrival. No other details about his bands/modes of activity
were provided. QSL via home callsign.
5T5 & S07, MAURITANIA AND WESTERN SAHARA.
From February 11-17th, six members of the International Amateur
Radio Volunteers (IARV) organization will visit the Sahara Desert
as part of a technical aid program. They expect to be permitted
to operate amateur radio with individual callsigns using the
format, 5T5***, in Mauritania, as well as S07CRS and S07U in
Western Sahara. The operation will be carried out mainly on CW,
including RTTY. Send your QSLs for the 5T5 operations to each
operator's home callsign. For the S07CRS and S07U operation, QSL
to JA1UT.
8Q, MALDIVES (Update to OPDX.534). Mark
Haynes, M0DXR, DXpedition Leader of the "Crystal Clear DX
Group", informs OPDX that they now have their callsign
confirmed for their summer operation as 8Q7ZZ. They will be
operating for 10 days from the Maldives beginning late July. Team
members are as follows: Mark/M0DXR, Tony/EA2AIJ, Fabian/DJ1YFK,
Ryan/K3XC and Robert/M0TTT. Activity will be on all bands
including the WARC bands. They now have a Web site up and running
at: http://www.8q7zz.com.
They are still looking for sponsorship from companies and
individuals. Anyone who can help will get promotion on the QSL
card, Web site, the video they make, and in magazines. If you
would like to help, please contact Mark via E-mail at: m0dxr@qsl.net.
9L, SIERRA LEONE. Jerry Trousdale, K4ZIN,
informs OPDX that he just returned from Sierra Leone this past
week. On Tuesday, January 30th, the government re-issued his old
9L1JT license. He will be there again in April and will set aside
about three or four consecutive days for a concerted,
mini-DX-Pedition effort. Depending on how much equipment he can
come up with to take, activity will probably only be 40/20/15/10
meters CW and SSB at this time. Jerry will be in Sierra Leone on
business for about two weeks, and he should have his schedule set
for the specific days of operation by the end of February, so he
will update us with more details. Jerry states, "The
horrific ten year war seems to have raised 9L1 on the 'most
needed' lists so hopefully we can help out a bunch of hams in
those days." QSLing will be via his home callsign K4ZIN.
There will be no Web site for this one.
9N, NEPAL (Update). Charly, K4VUD (aka
9N1UD), informed the DX community this past week that the
donations he took to Nepal a couple of years ago are still
working wonders for the hams there. Their thanks go out to all
who helped. On April 14, 2002, they will celebrate the
anniversary of the late Father Moran's 9N1MM operations.
Unfortunately, 9N1AA and Charly have not been able to secure
Father Moran's callsign, 9N0MM, which was proposed at one time
for a club callsign. Their efforts were significantly affected
after the events of the King (and many of his court) were
murdered. Charly states that they have not given up on
establishing the memorial club station and obtaining the 9N0MM
callsign in Kathmandu.
9Q, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO. "The
Daily DX" reports that the a few licences have been approved
by PTT in Kinshasa. Look for 9Q0AR/6 to be active from Goma
(Nyiragongo volcano- North Kivu province) possibly now through
February 24th. There were additional licenses approved by PTT
Kinshasa officials: Jean Philippe, 9Q1MM; Cyprien, 9Q1KS; Pat,
9Q1A; and Nicole, 9Q1YL (which are valid until February 24th).
Some of the operators will activate 9Q0AR/6 at the earliest from
Goma with 100w and dipoles. While others (Pat/9Q1A and
Nicole/9Q1YL) will be active from Kinshasas between February
2-24th, on 20/15/10 meters, and possibly 40/17/12 meters later.
All the above are QSLed via Paul, F2YT, via the bureau or direct
with SAE + postage.
IOTA NEWS...
EU-016. Sven/DF9MV, Chris/DL9CHR and
Fredy/DE0MST will be active as 9A/homecall/p from Susac
Island from the Kanula Lighthouse (LH-1430), March
23-30th. Other reference numbers are: CI-109, CLH-047 and
CRO-064. QSL via DE0MST (100% via bureau). Direct address
is: Manfred Stippschild, P.O.Box 1406, D-83657 Lenggries,
Fed. Republic Of Germany.
OC-NEW. Just a reminder! Nando/IT9YRE,
Maury/IZ1CRR and Erminio/IZ8AJQ will activate a new IOTA
next weekend (February 9-11th) from Sonsorol Island as
T88SI. Two stations will be active mainly on 20/15/10
meters CW/SSB/Digital modes. QSL via IT9YRE: Ferdinando
Rubino, P.O.Box 30, 96012 Avola, SR - ITALY.
SA-019. Operators Roberto/PT2GTI,
Jorge/PT2HF and Ronnan/PP2RON will activate Abrolhos
Archipelago (DIB: 12 and DFB: BA-14), as PY0AI, February
16-22nd. Activity will be on 80-10 meters CW/SSB; watch
the IOTA frequencies. QSL via PT2GTI: Roberto F.
Stuckert, Shin QI 07, Conj.12, casa 14, 71515-120,
Brasilia/DF, Brazil. This operation will be good for the
WLH Award (counts as LH-0463).
SA-086. Mark, CE6TBN, informs OPDX that
he will be on the air as CE6TBN/2 from Damas Island
between March 8-10th. Activity will be on 40-10 meters,
only SSB. QSL via N1IBM.
H40/H44, TEMOTU PROVINCE AND SOLOMON ISLAND.
Babs/DL7AFS and Lot/DJ7ZG are currently on their Pacific tour and
are now active from Honiara (H44) as H44ZG and H44LB. The will be
active until February 10th. Depending on the local circumstances
(unreliable transport arrangements, civil unrest, necessities of
power, tropic malaria, weathercondx, etc), they will try to be
active usually on SSB, RTTY and PSK on all bands from 80-6
meters. They will try to move to the Temotu Province later and be
active as H40ZG and H40YL ("depending on some problems with
the immigration office, but the flights are already
booked"). All QSLs are via DL7AFS. For more info and
updates, watch the Web site at: http://www.qsl.net/dl7afs.
IRC DEBATE (Reports Continue)...
Alf, 5B4AFB, informs OPDX new style IRCs
are on sale in Cyprus. They are 15 x 10cm in size with a
"Bar Code" along the bottom edge and are only
valid until December 31, 2006.
Ivan, G4BGW, informs OPDX that the
"new" IRCs are now available in the UK, and he
has bought some from his local village post office on
January 14th. So presume they will be available from all
UK post offices as and when they replenish their stocks.
Martyn, G4JZO, reports "that no NEW
IRCs on sale in the UK isn't true up here. I live where
some people would call the outer reaches of the known
universe!, and my local Post Office has known about the
new IRCs for several months. They even sold me some this
morning, and very nice they were too!"
Gunnar, SM0SMK, President of SSA (The
national radio amateur society in Sweden), informs OPDX
that in Sweden they have been informed by their postal
administrator that IRCs will not be sold in Sweden after
the 1st of January, but they will be allowed to cash in
both old and new IRCs. For one IRC they get a 10 SEK
stamp (about 90 cent). The reason for not selling the new
IRC is the risk of forgery; every country must print
their own. Only 72 of 198 members in the World Postal
Union, UPU, will print and sell IRC. However, every
country must accept the new IRC.
QSL Manager Alan Roocroft, VK4AAR,
states the following: "Since my first submission on
8th January 2002, I have still not received any official
written advice from 'Australia Post'. Staff at my local
Gatton post office feel that the old ones will continue
to be honoured for an unknown length of time. The bigger
city of Toowoomba has several post offices but again they
had nothing concrete to tell me except that they felt
that the old ones would probably remain valid
indefinitely. I have never had to buy IRCs in the last 10
years and these post offices had still NOT seen the new
ones.... EXCEPT FOR THOSE THAT I HAVE BEEN CASHING IN FOR
STAMPS. In recent times I have received quite a few new
style IRCs, mainly from Japan. Finally, yes, it is well
known that in some countries a Greenstamp can be dearer
than an IRC but in many countries it is the opposite.
Like I said... CHECK WITH YOUR POST OFFICE AND COMPARE
PRICES."
J3, GRENADA. On January 29th, Bill/K4LTA and
his xyl Ruby/K4UPS travelled to Grenada for their 8th time and
trip number 17 to the Caribbean. Their callsigns are J38A for
contests, and J37BO and J37RO respectively outside of contests.
Bill will be active in the FOC Marathon February 1-3rd, the NA
Sprint on February 9th and the ARRL DX Contest on CW February
16-17th. Ruby plans to operate some on SSB on 10, 15 and 20
meters, plus skeds back home. In addition, she will monitor the
six meter band for any openings. Outside of contests, look for
J37BO to be very active on CW, leaning toward the WARC bands plus
80/160 meters. They will be on the island until February 26th.
QSL via their home callsign and address, 101 Baylor Drive, Oak
Ridge, Tn. 37830, and please include an SASE.
J6, ST. LUCIA. Laurent, F4TVY, is now active
as J6/F4TVY until February 7th. He was spotted over the past
weekend on 28502 kHz around 0115z. No other details are
available.
KH4, MIDWAY ISLAND (DXpedition Cancelled). A
very disappointed Phil Whitchurch, G3SWH, informed OPDX that they
have had to abandon their trip to Midway (expected to take place
March 30th-April 6th) as the airline which flies between Hawaii
and Midway has cancelled the flights. Also, the company which
operates the hotel on the island is closing down their operation.
Also, David, K1TTT, states, "that the Midway Phoenix company
that has been running the island's infrastructure is leaving
effective March 1st. This essentially closes down the island
except for the Fish and Wildlife Service. All planes have been
canceled, stores and accommodations are closed, and all the
company people are packing to leave. Sounds like access will be
much harder in the future as there will be no services available
at the airstrip."
KH0, MARIANA ISLANDS. Yuji/JA5ROH and
Take/JA5AUC will sign KH0/JA5ROH and KH0/JA5AUC, respectively,
from Rota Island (OC-086), from February 9-11th. Their activity
is expected to be on 160-6 meters CW and SSB. QSL via their home
callsigns either direct or via the bureau.
KP2, U.S. VIRGIN ISLAND. John/W8LBY and
Norm/K8NI are now active as KP2/homecalls from St. Croix through
February 13th. Norm was spotted on 10 meters over the past
weekend in the 10-10 Contest. They plan to concentrate on PSK31
and the WARC bands. QSL to their home callsigns.
MD, ISLE OF MAN. Operators Diemo/DL4LQM,
Wolfgang/DL4WG, Thomas/DL5LYM, Ulf/DL5AXX and Frank/DL8WAA will
again go to the Isle of Man, and be active as MD/homecalls
between February 11-18th. Activity will be mainly on CW. There
will be a M2 or MM entry in the ARRL DX Contest.
P5, NORTH KOREA. Ed, P5/4L4LN, continues to
be active on 15 meters (21225 kHz) usually starting around 2230z.
Reports indicate he has a much better signal with his new
vertical (check the KK5DO Web page for pictures). Still no word
on whether Ed has received the proper license/documentation. QSL
via KK5DO.
PJ7, ST. MAARTEN. Bil/W8EB and his wife,
Dorothy/W8DVC will make their 10th trek to St. Maarten commencing
February 24th and returning to Michigan on March 17th. They will
be joined the first week of March by Bob/K8RLM and his wife,
Lori/W9MSU. This will be their second trip to the island which is
owned half by the French (FS) and half by the Dutch (PJ7). See
web site at: http://www.qsl.net/pj8a.
Bob and Bil will participate in the ARRL DX Phone Contest (March
2-3rd) using the contest callsign of PJ7B with QSL cards going to
W8EB as in the past. The old contest callsign of PJ8A, which was
used in the 1995 through the 2000 contests, is no longer
available to non-residents. The rest of the time they will
operate with U.S. callsigns and the prefix of PJ7/. All of those
contacts QSLs will go to the home callsign. The gang will operate
all bands and all modes (RTTY, CW and SSB) including, for the
first time, 6 meters and PSK31. Antennas are: R-7000 Vertical for
40-10 meters, 80-160 sloper and a 6 meter 3 element beam mounted
on the top of the 100 ft. building of the Sapphire Beach Club.
Rigs will be the Kenwood TS-2000, Yaesu FT-100D, Ameritron 811H
amplifier, MFJ power supply and Dell Laptops. Software will be
DX4WIN for general logging and PSK31, MMTTY and WF1B for rtty and
CT for the contest log. There is a daily sked with the back home
Michigan bunch at 2030z on or near 14268 kHz. Please feel free to
join in for the ragchew or to set up a sked. Check out Bil's Web
pages at: http://www.qsl.net/w8eb
or http://www.qsl.net/k9pxv.
PW0, TRINDADE ISLAND (Update). Excerpts from
a PW0T DXpedition press release #3 dated January 29, 2002, states
that "the Trindade 2002 PW0T team is happy to report that
major sponsors have begun stepping forward providing vital
support for the DXpedition." (OPDX InterNet Subscribers will
receive the complete press release as an additional bulletin.)
Some of the sponsors include ICOM America, Electril (a Brazilian
manufacturer), Bob Heil, Toni/JA1FGI, Nori/JA1WSK, SMIRK,
Chiltern DX Club and many PYs from all over Brazil. Financial
support can still be sent to K7BV: Dennis Motschenbacher, 4357
Appollonio Way, Carson City, NV 89704. The operator team has been
finalized and now includes Andre/PY0FF, Rolf/PY1RO, Peter/PY5CC,
Herminio/PY5HSD, Eliso/PT7BZ, Jim/PY7XC, Ciro/PY7ZY, Fred/ PY7ZZ,
Dick/N6FF and Bill/W9VA. Andy, W6/G4VPM, has joined the
"Support Team" serving as the administrator of the
DXpedition on-line log posting process. The team will have
satellite telepone service available to them, thanks to Inpar to
facilitate regular transfer of log information to Andy. The
operators will gather on the naval base in Rio de Janeiro on
February 14th, spending their last night in Brazil aboard the
vessel prior to the scheduled departure the following morning.
The DXpedition's website is up with new information being added
daily at: http://www.trindade2002.com.
Abbreviated versions of the Web site are available in French and
Japanese thanks to the efforts of Jean-Louis/F5UJK and
Toshi/JA1ELY.
QSL INFO AND NEWS...
Ron, AC7DX, reports that starting
immediately, he will be the new QSL Manager for Ralph,
BV2FB.
Karl-Heinz, DL2FAG, reports that all
4824 direct received cards for their C98DC DXpedition are
already in the mail (as received up to January 28th). The
QSL service will continue after their Pacific tour 2002
(See H40/H44 above)!
Sergey, EX8MLE, has been active the last
few weeks from Kyrgyzstan. It has been reported by Vrata,
OK1KT, that EX8MLE no longer has a QSL Manager, and he
wants the QSLs sent direct to the address as follows:
Sergey Tkachenko, P.O. Box 742, Bishkek 720017,
KYRGYZSTAN. Registered mail is a safer and faster way.
Sergey promisses 100% QSL.
Marty, NW0L/PJ2T, reports that he has a
new QSL Manager as of January 29th, 2002. QSL PJ2T now to
Scott, N9AG. All outstanding QSL requests sent to his
former QSL Manager, KN7Y, will be serviced in the next
couple of months. Please be patient as the transfer is
completed.
Alain, F6BFH (aka XU7ABW), reports that
he has received the printed QSL cards for XU7ABW, XU7ABY,
XU7ABZ and XU7ACA from IK1PML. He states that he will
send the QSLs to his friends that were active as XU7ABY,
XU7ABZ and XU7ACA for processing. Alain has already
answered some of the direct QSLs for XU7ABW and is trying
to answer the many QSLs as quickly as possible. LAST
MINUTE UPDATE: Alain reports that 650 direct QSLs for
XU7ABW (AS-133) and the 50 MHz operation are now in the
mail. He mailed the last package this past Saturday
morning at the post office. The cards for the QSL bureau
are ready too, but he will send them at the end of the
month to the R.E.F Bureau.
S9, SAO TOME. Just a reminder! A group from
Norway and Sweden, operators LA6FJA, LA7THA, LA5QKA, LA5UF,
LA6EIA, LA7WCA, LC3EAT, LC6ZBT, SM5COP and SM5IMO), should be
active (by the time you read this) as S9LA now through February
10th. At least two stations will be on the air 24 hours a day
with activity on 160-6 meters CW, SSB, RTTY, PSK31 and may be
SSTV, with amplifiers, a wide range of antennas and an emphasis
on the low bands and the WARC bands, digital modes and 6 meters.
QSL via LA2N: Sore Sunnmore Gruppa av NRRL v/ Otto Norhagen,
NO-6143 Fiskaabygd, Norway. For further information, check their
Web site at: http://www.qsl.net/s9la/.
VP8, SOUTH GEORGIA ISLAND. The multi-national
team of twelve operators became active as VP8GEO just around
0000z on January 28th. Their activity has been on all bands,
however, they are expected to go QTH some time between February
3-5th. QSL via VE3GCO: The Maple Leaf Radio Society, 5 McLaren
Avenue, Listowel, Ontario N4W 3K1 Canada.
VP8, SOUTH GEORGIA AND SOUTH ORKNEYS ISLANDS.
If you missed the above VP8GEO South Georgia Island operation,
you will have a second chance. Mike, GM0HCQ, who has been
travelling around the South Atlantic, is expected to visit South
Georgia Island, as well as Signy Island in the South Orkneys.
Look for him as VP8SIG from South Orkneys, February 27th through
March 2nd, and VP8SGK from South Georgia Island March 4-6th.
Updates of his itinerary are posted on the Web at: http://www.qsl.net/gm0hcq/.
XW, LAOS (Update from OPDX.546). Mauro,
IN3QBR, who was expected to be active as XW3QBR at the end of
January, informs OPDX that he had to delay his departure to Laos
until after February 20th. He will inform us as soon as possible
when he knows the exact dates of the operation.
YA, AFGHANISTAN (YA5T Update). Ghis, ON5NT,
informs OPDX that he received an E-mail from Peter/ON6TT and
talked to Mark/ON4WW recently. The update is that Peter is now on
his way to New York. Robert, S53R is in Kabul right now and has
been active as YA5T on 40/15/12/10 meters CW. Mark, ON4WW, was
reportedly in Islamabad, but was expected to fly to Kabul (taking
along his famous 160m wire is his pocket) on February 2nd. So
start looking for a lot of CW with those 2 super CW ops over
there. For the moment, they are still using 100 watts into a R5
vertical (the one Peter installed). QSL YA5T via KU9C.
UPDATED ADDED NOTES:
Peter's comments on the YA5T web
site states (as of February 3rd): "When I
arrived in YA about 10 days ago, I found a large
number of international staff had come into Kabul and
people were sleeping everywhere, including the bunker
I used as a shack last time. I tried to find a decent
place to operate from and secured one spot by the end
of my stay. Robert, S53R, has been operating from
there since a couple of days. Today Mark, ON4WW, has
joined him. Both are in Kabul. We now have two radios
and several antennas in YA. Mats, SM7PKK, is still in
A6 for the coming weeks. I left YA on January 31st
and I am off to New York for a week, after which I
will be back in the region alternating between AP and
YA.
By the way, Peter has confirmed that
the "YA5T" active (mostly RTTY) at the end
of December was a pirate. Peter and Robert were at
home.
YN, NICARAGUA. Hans, DL7CM, informs OPDX that
Michael/DL2OE, Dietmar/DL3DXX and himself will be going here
February 18th through March 8th. They have received their
permission to operate, and the flight and hotel are booked. They
know that YN is not so rare on the higher bands but is quite rare
on 160/80 meters and on RTTY. However, they will be active on
160-6 meters but their emphasis will be on 160/80 meters and
RTTY. Their equipment we be two V80 Titanex, LP5-beam, 5 element
yagi for 6 meters and other antennas as well three tranceivers
and two amps. Hans mentions that this operation will be very
expensive because of the flights, accomodations and overweight
baggage (around 8000 USDs). This German team, which has activated
such places like CE0Y, CE0Z, T30, FW, 3D2, ZL7, P29, S21, VK9X,
VK9C, VK9L, D44, CT3, C5, HP, ZB2 and HB0, are looking for some
support. If you can help, please contact Hans, DL7CM, via E-mail
at: dl7cm@online.de.
