ZL8, KERMADEC ISLANDS. On February 15th, a team of operators received
the final approval from the DoC (Department of Conservation) in New
Zealand to land on Raoul Island (OC-039) and stay there for about 18
days. The well-known boat called the "Braveheart" with its captain Nigel
Jolly will take a team of operators and their equipment to the island.
Expected (preliminary) arrival date is November 18th, and the departure
date is December 7th. They plan to be on the air as ZL8X between November
19th and December 5th. Operations are to be on all HF bands, 160-10
meters, with 7 stations - all capable of all modes (CW, SSB and RTTY).
The current list of operators are: Gerd/DJ5IW, Markus/DJ7EO, Heye/DJ9RR,
Franz/DK1II, Chris/DL1MGB, Dietmar/DL3DXX, Andy/DL5CW, Tom/DL5LYM, Felix/
DL5XL, Ben/DL6FBL, Dieter/DL8OH, Joerg/DL8WPX and Robert/SP5XVY. An
"Online QSL Request System" (OQRS) will be used for both Bureau QSLs
and direct QSLs via their Web page. Also available on their Web page
will be Propagation info, an online log search, QSO statistics and pictures
of the operation. The team is looking for sponsors to help offset their
expenses. This is a very expensive operation, and each operator is paying
100% of their own travel costs, hotel accommodation and food, together
with their own contribution towards logistics. Their expenses will be over
140,000 USDs. For more details on becoming a sponsor or information about
this DXpedition, visit the ZL8X Web page at: http://www.kermadec.de
