CY0 QRV 開始

2008-06-27 22:28:23 | Weblog
パケットクラスターにアップされておりました。
但し6mですが・・・・hi
もしかするとHFもいくらかQRVしてくれるみたいですが、JAのopen時には???ですが・・・。

and CY0RA until July 7. They are concentrating their activity on 6
meters, but are also QRV on 40 and 20 meters using CW and SSB. QSL

TI9

2008-06-27 22:24:32 | Weblog
Tuesday the MM0NDX website (http://hamspirit.wordpress.com/) posted a
link (www.jdxn.net/TI8AA.pdf) to a possible upcoming operation from
Cocos Island (TI9) next week. The PDF file shows a hand written note
that was included with a QSL card to JA3EGZ, Mega. The note, which
was sent in early May makes mention that TI8AA, Ed, will be operating
TI9AA from Cocos Island (NA-012) from grid locator EJ65lm. It also
said government authorization was granted effective July 1-8. Your
editor tried to contact Ed via email, who is apparently now in Belize
for a few days. Ed's brother Helberth, who is not a ham, did answer
the email. Helberth said that Ed's departure for Cocos Island is July
8th. He believes the actual operation from TI9AA will be between July
25th and 31st. Ed has an old Kenwood TS680S and will have a multi-
band delta loop for activity on 160 to 6 meters. So looks like we
will have to wait until Ed returns to Costa Rica to get an update on
this planned trip to TI9.

CY0X

2008-06-25 21:05:57 | Weblog
Yesterday the CY0X team arrived in Halifax. Plans are to fly to Sable
Island this morning local time. There is no runway on the island and
so they must first get "the go-ahead from Sable re fog and beach sand
condx for landing", says Pete, VE3IKV. Remember this is mostly a six
meter DXpedition but they will do some 20 and 40 meters to work the
VKs. Watch 7.020 MHz and they will listen up in the General band.
They have a Web site at www.cy0x.com.

IOTA OC-181

2008-06-25 21:04:55 | Weblog
The upcoming Papua New Guinea IOTA DXpedition team is complete and
comprises of AD6E, CT1AGF, G3KHZ, K6HFA, W5GAI and one non-ham
traveler, reports G3KHZ, Derek Cox, team leader. The MV Barbarian II
will leave Kokopo, New Britain on October 18 and the team plan to be
QRV from Garove Island (OC-181) as P29VLR from October 20-26. They
will then sail to the Hermit Islands (OC-041). There they will be QRV
as P29NI from October 28 to November 3. Their last stop will be to
Manus Island (OC-025), which is where the team will fly home. It is
possible they might be active from Manus. QSL cards for P29NI go via
G3KHZ. The route for P29VLR is yet to be confirmed (probably via
SM6CVX).
