9U5M QRT. Dennis, PA7FM, informed OPDX that
Michael, PA5M, active as 9U5M, went QRT on the evening of the
16th of March. He hasn't been as active as he wanted to.....but
the main reason being in Burundi was his work for the World Food
program of the UN. Over the past weekend Michael was in A6 but
will go to 9L Monday, March 22nd. Due to the very busy work
there, he won't apply for a licence this time. His next DX
activity may be about 2 months from now when he will go to some
other place (not known yet). Meanwhile, the complete 9U5M and
YI/PA5M logs are online at: http://www.pa7fm.nl. QSLs should go to PA7FM:
Dennis Robbemond, Loggerhof 11, 3181NS Rozenburg, The
Netherlands. Please remember that one USD is not enough to cover
the cost of mailing outside of Europe, and therefore, those QSLs
will be answered by the bureau.
CU, AZORES. Arlindo, CT1EGW, will be active
as CT1EGW/CU2 from April 7-11th, from Sao Miguel (EU-003). During
his free time he plans to operate on RTTY. QSL via direct or via

T33C, BANABA AWARD. Alan, K6SRZ, sent out the
following press release: "The Banaba Award is meant to
encourage stations Worldwide to make as many contacts as possible
with the T33C Expedition between 4 and 16 April 2004. We would
like to encourage all amateurs no matter how modest their
stations to contact us. We will be on all bands from 160m through
to 6m and all the main modes, CW, SB, RTTY, FM, PSK, and even
SSTV. You can find more about this DXpedition at our Web page: http://www.dx-pedition.de/banaba2004/.
The Banaba Trophy will be awarded to the station who makes the
highest number of band-mode contacts with us during our stay. To
level the playing field, only the following band-modes will
apply. Contacts on other band-modes will not count for the
Trophy.
CW: 160m 6m (10 bands)
FM: 10m only
SSB: 160m 6m excluding 30m (9 bands)
RTTY: 40m, 20m, 15m and 10m (4 bands)
PSK: 20m, 15m and 10m (3 bands)
THERE ARE 27 POSSIBLE BAND-MODES THAT COUNT TOWARD THE TROPHY.
Should two or more stations have the same number of band slots,
the Trophy will be awarded to the station who made that total
first. A Certificate of Excellence will be awarded to the other
stations who share the highest total. The Trophy and Certificates
of Excellence will be awarded FREE!
"BANABA CERTIFICATES OF MERIT"-- In parallel, we
intend to operate an Awards Scheme, where a very colourful
Certificate can be obtained. The rules are very simple: again try
to make contact with us on as many of the above band slots as
possible:
THE BANABA BRONZE AWARD
-
Is for stations who make contact with us on a minimum
of 5 band/slots
THE BANABA SILVER AWARD
-
Is for stations who make contact with us on a minimum
of 10 band/slots
THE BANABA GOLD AWARD
-
Is for stations who make contact with us on a minimum
of 15 band/slots
We will issue one certificate per person, based on the highest
number of band-mode QSOs. For example, if you make 12 band-mode
QSOs, you will qualify for the Silver Award only (not both Bronze
and Silver).
Certificates will cost 5 (USD) each plus 2 (USD) post and
package. Proceeds of the Certificates will go into the Expedition
Fund. Applications for the Certificates should be made to GM4FDM:
Tom Wylie, 3 Kings Crescent, Elderslie, Renfrewshire, Scotland
PA5 9AD. Please include funds to cover the certificate and
postage. Applications should also include a QSO list for the
specific Award. Should any QSOs be found to be 'not in the log',
these QSOs will NOT count for either a Certificate or indeed the
Trophy. When in doubt, check our on-line log and work us again if
necessary! We will not enter into any correspondence regarding
the Certificates and the decision of the Expedition members shall
be final. We're sorry, but we cannot accept E-mailed
applications. Thank You." Alan Eshleman/K6SRZ for the T33C
DXpedition
TJ3, CAMEROON. Roger/G3SXW and Nigel/G3TXF
will be operating as TJ3G from Kribi in Cameroon from
approximately Tuesday, March 23rd to Thursday, April 1st. This

frequencies will be: 3513, 7013, 10113, 14033, 18083, 21033,
24903 and 28033 kHz. [These frequencies are higher than usual in
order to avoid any conflict with 3B9C]. Although they will be
using the same callsign TJ3G, Roger/G3SXW will be operating the
traditional HF bands while Nigel/G3TXF will be looking after the
WARC bands. QSL via G3TXF.
TJ3, CAMEROON (Possible New IOTA). Jack,
F6BUM, announced he is going to Cameroon April 2nd. His length of
stay was not mentioned. Also, he is thinking of activating
Mondoleh Island while there from April 10-11th between
0700-1600z. However, night operations from the island are not
possible because he can not stay on the island at night! Activity
on CW will take place on April 10th and SSB operations will be on
the 11th. Look for him to use the callsign TJ3MC. QSL via the
address on QRZ.com.
YA8, AFGHANISTAN. Johnny, YA8G (LA5IIA),
informed OPDX that he is now active on all nine HF bands at the
moment, and has put some effort in working NA on 80m CW and 20m
RTTY, both SP as well as LP. Johnny states, "My noise level
is still tremendously high, but sometimes I can copy signals from
EU, AS, NA and SA at the same time. I beg each and every DX'er to
respect when I'm calling certain areas." QSL cards are being
handled as soon as they are received by his manager, LA4YW. You
will be able to watch the QSL layout on Johnny's Web site, as
well. Johnny also mentions that the logs for YA8G are now updated
2-3 times a week at the following Web site: http://www.qsl.net/la8g/YA8G.htm.

7077, 14237, 18137, 21337, 24937 and 28537 kHz. Operating times
are when work and family commitments permits. The QSL Manager is
G4LTI. Further information can be found on the Web page at: http://www.zd8i.net.
ADDED NOTE: Ian is expected to visit the Falkland Islands
occasionally (first trip - last two weeks in May), and do not be
surprised if you hear him as a VP8 (callsign not known yet). He
will be active as QRP using a FT-817 into a dipole.
ZK1, SOUTH COOK ISLANDS. Victor, ZK1CG
(ZK1USA), from Rarotonga Island (OC-013) in the South Cook

operators on ZK1 at the moment. Jim, ZK1JD, is the other
operator. Victor will see if he can get Jim, ZK1JD, to get on
during the contest to help out. Remember, Victor's shack is in
his workshop, so he may get called away at times for work during
the contest.
ZL7, CHATHAM ISLANDS. Chris, ZL1CT (GM3WOJ),
is planning to be active as ZL7V, July 5-15th (Callsign and dates
