T32

from OPDX news

T32, EASTERN KIRIBATI (Update). Operators Nils/SM6CAS, Steve/G4EDG,
Mike/K9AJ, Derek/G3KHZ and Steve/9M6DXX are now on their way sailing to
Malden Island (OC-279) as of March 20th; the first of 4 uninhabited IOTAs
to be activated in the Southern Line Islands group. As per their Web
page (dated March 21st, 08:15), the team sailing boarded the "S/V Kwai",
did not have favorable wind at present and their estimated time on the sea
is "at least 3 more days". Watch their Web page for an accurate arrival
time. The callsign to be used on Malden Island will be T32MI. Their
length of stay is not known. The team wants to remind everyone that this
is "primarily an IOTA operation". They will be "concentrating on providing
a contact with as many different stations as possible irrespective of
band or mode". Activity will therefore be 80-10 meters using CW and SSB,
"whichever is providing the best propagation conditions at the time."
There will be no operations on 6m moon bounce, RTTY, PSK, low band SSB,
160m etc, etc. For more details and updates, visit the T32 Southern Line
Islands DXpedition's Web page at: http://t32line.webnode.com
