this year's summary of activities for the IOTA CONTEST 2001 on the Web
page: http://www.iota-post.com

Contests looking for a new one in the contest, and a good source for
contesters having a look to see if the island they want to go to was
already occupied. The list is growing daily.
IOTA NEWS...............
EU-048. Members of Clipperton DX Club, Fabrice/F5NBQ (CDXC1050),

SA-026. Paul, PY3DX, informs OPDX that he is going to take part in the

portable on Santa Catarina Island in southern Brazil. Some
other DX friends from his area (PY3KK/Koetz, PY3FOX/Xris and
PY3YY/Andy) will also be going with him, but as they are not
contest enthusiasts, their goal is to activate this island on
the WARC bands, mainly on SSB mode. Paul adds, 'Thus, while I'm
suffering under big CW pile-ups performing my contest, they
plan to drink a coconut water, watch the girls hanging around
and make some DX from the island, hi hi hi. I think as time
goes by I'm becoming less smart than I use to be, hi hi hi.'
QSL cards for PU3A will be OK either through the bureau or
direct via Paul's home call, which is OK on the www.QRZ.com
or Buckmaster at www.buck.com .

is very sorry for making a mistake in listing the Web site for his PY0F
DXpedition. Last week's announcement read ' <http://www.qth.com/py0f> '.
It should have been < http:.//www.qth.com/k7bv/py0f >. Please accept
Dennis' apologies. Remember, he will begin his operation on May 24th.
Look for him as an All-Band/Single Op effort in the CQ WPX CW Contest

QSL INFO AND NEWS.................
Mario, DJ2MX (aka T94DX, N0MX), QSL Manager for 9A/OE1EMS (Krk Island,
IOTA EU-136, IOCA CI-046), reports that he has the logs and QSL cards.
QSL will be OK via DARC bureau or direct to him. He is also QSL Manager
for his last activity from Bosnia as T94DX in the 2001 ARI Contest.
Please Note: If you send your QSL direct, please enclose 2 USD or 1 IRC
(outside Europe) for air-mail return postage. Europe is 1 USD or
1 IRC.
Ric, DL2VFR, reports that QSL cards for his and DL2SWW latest DXpedition
to EU-037 (SM7) and EU-002 (OH0) will be sponsored by the magazine
'Funkamateur'. QSLs should be printed within the next 8 weeks. They
plan to answer the direct requests first. Logs are available at:
http://www.iota-expedition.com
OPDX received a request to find out, 'What is the QSL status of
FT5WH?' Can anyone help?
Steve Wheatley, KU9C, reported on the evening of May 13th, that about
70% of the direct QSL card requests for the February PW0S operation,
roughly 2000 cards, are in the hands of the U.S. Postal Service.
QSL Manager Glyn, GW0ANA, reports that the final updated logs for
ZD7K and ZD8K are on the Web site: http://www.dxpedition.co.uk
He also states that they have sorted out the photographs that they
are going to use for the QSL card. These will be sent off to their
Italian printer as per the sponsors list ASAP. Once he has received
them back, the QSL cards will go out.
Fabrizio, IN3ZNR (aka XW3ZNR, XU7AAY etc.), informs OPDX that all
direct QSLs for his operations in the Kingdom of Cambodia and the Laos
People Democratic Republic have been answered. If you did not receive
yours, please contact Fabrizio via E-mail at: xu7aay@qsl.net
Uwe/DL9NDS (ZK1NDS) and Klause/DLNFK (ZK1NFK) have uploaded the logs
for both their North and South Cook Islands on the Web. Check the
following Web site to see if you are in the log: http://www.dl9nds.de
SPECIAL EVENT. Station SN45KDU will be active now through May 31st and
again November 1-18th to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Radio Club
(SP5KDU) in Tarnowskie Gory, Poland. Activity will be on CW/SSB. QSL via
bureau via SP9KDU.
VU4, ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS. Nat, VU2NTA, announced again this week
that no foreign amateur radio operators are allowed to operate from VU4.
He has indicated that just the sheer number of foreigners attempting to
put VU4 on the air is making the authorities say NO. There is hope,
however. Nat states that, after working two years with the government
and asking for suggestions for certain ammendments to the AMATEUR RADIO
rules in India, they have just about succeeded. So, maybe something
may come through, but he requests to please not press for the VU4
since right now even citizens of India are not allowed to carry radios
there. Nat says, 'I hope you understand the problems we face.'
XW, LAOS (Update). As this bulletin was being prepared, Charly, K4VUD,
is staying in the Saylom Yen Guest House in Vientaine and he is currently
trying to obtain a license. He reported that he spent a couple of hours
at the Lao's equivalent of the PTT office and was told that it may be a
month or more before he is assigned a real XW ham license. Charly mentioned
that three separate offices must touch/look at his application papers, and
he may have to appear in person for an interview for the last step. He
is expected to be here until August. (NOTE FROM EDITOR: This was written
before I left for Dayton, however, Charly is back in HS0-land for a few
days. Please see HS0 above.)
ZONE 2. Nenad, VE3EXY, reports that he has received confirmation authorizing
him access to the Indian reserve in ZONE 2. He will be active 4 days (and
5 nights) from Wednesday, May 23rd evening to Monday, May 28th morning,
around the CQWW WPX CW Contest weekend. Nenad will be active on the
following modes: CW, RTTY, and PSK31 possible, but not guaranteed outside
contest. Most of the CW will be during the contest (Not much phone at
all). From ZONE 2 (Loc. FO20), Nenad will sign VE3EXY/2 (Counts as VE2
in the contest). His sunrise will be 0912z and sunset 0035z. Suggested
frequencies will be (he will always work split -2 kHz CW, 5 kHz RTTY or
Phone):
CW - 1827, 3510, 7010, 14025, 18077, 21025, 24897 and 28025.
RTTY - 14090, 21090.
There will be no 6 meters. Reports will be something like '599Z2' which
will indicate Nenad is there. Outside of the contest, he will be active
on the WARC, RTTY and LF. During the CQ WPX CW Contest, look for him on
80/40/10 meters. Check around the greyline times. He will be either on
80 or 160 meters. There are some chances for EU and JA on those two bands.
QSL via VE3EXY (Home call). Nenad's QSL Policies: 'For all my DXpedition,
I do not do blanket cover of all QSOs in my log. Instead I answer QSLs
when I receive them. You can send them direct with SASE (SAE +postage),
via the bureau, or direct without postage. QSLs with sufficient return
postage will be answered the same day (if in the log), or via the bureau
otherwise. QSL cards are already printed, and there is no reason to wait.
No special cards waiting for sponsors. E-mail requests are not accepted.
However, elQSL requests will be confirmed electronically, subject to
receiving notification and electronicQSL server address.'

Contests looking for a new one in the contest, and a good source for
contesters having a look to see if the island they want to go to was
already occupied. The list is growing daily.
IOTA NEWS...............
EU-048. Members of Clipperton DX Club, Fabrice/F5NBQ (CDXC1050),

portable on Santa Catarina Island in southern Brazil. Some
other DX friends from his area (PY3KK/Koetz, PY3FOX/Xris and
PY3YY/Andy) will also be going with him, but as they are not
contest enthusiasts, their goal is to activate this island on
the WARC bands, mainly on SSB mode. Paul adds, 'Thus, while I'm
suffering under big CW pile-ups performing my contest, they
plan to drink a coconut water, watch the girls hanging around
and make some DX from the island, hi hi hi. I think as time
goes by I'm becoming less smart than I use to be, hi hi hi.'
QSL cards for PU3A will be OK either through the bureau or
direct via Paul's home call, which is OK on the www.QRZ.com

is very sorry for making a mistake in listing the Web site for his PY0F
DXpedition. Last week's announcement read ' <http://www.qth.com/py0f> '.
It should have been < http:.//www.qth.com/k7bv/py0f >. Please accept
Dennis' apologies. Remember, he will begin his operation on May 24th.
Look for him as an All-Band/Single Op effort in the CQ WPX CW Contest

QSL INFO AND NEWS.................
Mario, DJ2MX (aka T94DX, N0MX), QSL Manager for 9A/OE1EMS (Krk Island,
IOTA EU-136, IOCA CI-046), reports that he has the logs and QSL cards.
QSL will be OK via DARC bureau or direct to him. He is also QSL Manager
for his last activity from Bosnia as T94DX in the 2001 ARI Contest.
Please Note: If you send your QSL direct, please enclose 2 USD or 1 IRC
(outside Europe) for air-mail return postage. Europe is 1 USD or
1 IRC.
Ric, DL2VFR, reports that QSL cards for his and DL2SWW latest DXpedition
to EU-037 (SM7) and EU-002 (OH0) will be sponsored by the magazine
'Funkamateur'. QSLs should be printed within the next 8 weeks. They
plan to answer the direct requests first. Logs are available at:
http://www.iota-expedition.com
OPDX received a request to find out, 'What is the QSL status of
FT5WH?' Can anyone help?
Steve Wheatley, KU9C, reported on the evening of May 13th, that about
70% of the direct QSL card requests for the February PW0S operation,
roughly 2000 cards, are in the hands of the U.S. Postal Service.
QSL Manager Glyn, GW0ANA, reports that the final updated logs for
ZD7K and ZD8K are on the Web site: http://www.dxpedition.co.uk
He also states that they have sorted out the photographs that they
are going to use for the QSL card. These will be sent off to their
Italian printer as per the sponsors list ASAP. Once he has received
them back, the QSL cards will go out.
Fabrizio, IN3ZNR (aka XW3ZNR, XU7AAY etc.), informs OPDX that all
direct QSLs for his operations in the Kingdom of Cambodia and the Laos
People Democratic Republic have been answered. If you did not receive
yours, please contact Fabrizio via E-mail at: xu7aay@qsl.net
Uwe/DL9NDS (ZK1NDS) and Klause/DLNFK (ZK1NFK) have uploaded the logs
for both their North and South Cook Islands on the Web. Check the
following Web site to see if you are in the log: http://www.dl9nds.de

again November 1-18th to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Radio Club
(SP5KDU) in Tarnowskie Gory, Poland. Activity will be on CW/SSB. QSL via
bureau via SP9KDU.
VU4, ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS. Nat, VU2NTA, announced again this week
that no foreign amateur radio operators are allowed to operate from VU4.
He has indicated that just the sheer number of foreigners attempting to
put VU4 on the air is making the authorities say NO. There is hope,
however. Nat states that, after working two years with the government
and asking for suggestions for certain ammendments to the AMATEUR RADIO
rules in India, they have just about succeeded. So, maybe something
may come through, but he requests to please not press for the VU4
since right now even citizens of India are not allowed to carry radios
there. Nat says, 'I hope you understand the problems we face.'
XW, LAOS (Update). As this bulletin was being prepared, Charly, K4VUD,
is staying in the Saylom Yen Guest House in Vientaine and he is currently
trying to obtain a license. He reported that he spent a couple of hours
at the Lao's equivalent of the PTT office and was told that it may be a
month or more before he is assigned a real XW ham license. Charly mentioned
that three separate offices must touch/look at his application papers, and
he may have to appear in person for an interview for the last step. He
is expected to be here until August. (NOTE FROM EDITOR: This was written
before I left for Dayton, however, Charly is back in HS0-land for a few
days. Please see HS0 above.)
ZONE 2. Nenad, VE3EXY, reports that he has received confirmation authorizing
him access to the Indian reserve in ZONE 2. He will be active 4 days (and
5 nights) from Wednesday, May 23rd evening to Monday, May 28th morning,
around the CQWW WPX CW Contest weekend. Nenad will be active on the
following modes: CW, RTTY, and PSK31 possible, but not guaranteed outside
contest. Most of the CW will be during the contest (Not much phone at
all). From ZONE 2 (Loc. FO20), Nenad will sign VE3EXY/2 (Counts as VE2
in the contest). His sunrise will be 0912z and sunset 0035z. Suggested
frequencies will be (he will always work split -2 kHz CW, 5 kHz RTTY or
Phone):
CW - 1827, 3510, 7010, 14025, 18077, 21025, 24897 and 28025.
RTTY - 14090, 21090.
There will be no 6 meters. Reports will be something like '599Z2' which
will indicate Nenad is there. Outside of the contest, he will be active
on the WARC, RTTY and LF. During the CQ WPX CW Contest, look for him on
80/40/10 meters. Check around the greyline times. He will be either on
80 or 160 meters. There are some chances for EU and JA on those two bands.
QSL via VE3EXY (Home call). Nenad's QSL Policies: 'For all my DXpedition,
I do not do blanket cover of all QSOs in my log. Instead I answer QSLs
when I receive them. You can send them direct with SASE (SAE +postage),
via the bureau, or direct without postage. QSLs with sufficient return
postage will be answered the same day (if in the log), or via the bureau
otherwise. QSL cards are already printed, and there is no reason to wait.
No special cards waiting for sponsors. E-mail requests are not accepted.
However, elQSL requests will be confirmed electronically, subject to
receiving notification and electronicQSL server address.'

FEW NOTES FROM EDITOR, TEDD, KB8NW: Because I will be attending the
Dayton HamVention, I cannot guarantee that there will be a bulletin
next week. If it does happen, it will probably be late Monday. Please,
continue to send your information (you never know!).
The Northern Ohio DX Association (along with WVNO Radio) will once
again sponsor a Hospitality Suite at this year's Dayton Hamvention. It
will be in Suite 1011 on the 10th Club Floor of the Crowne Plaza Hotel
(old Stouffers) on Friday and Saturday evenings. All DXers/Contesters
are welcome. Munchies and refreshments will be avaialble. Come and
meet the members and friends of NODXA.
TIP OF THE YEAR (Get the hint!): When sending regular messages, turn OFF
your 'HTML' format in your mail programs and use plain text. This will
save a lot of bandwidth. Using 'HTML' usually makes the message twice as
big and copies itself twice in one message!

Dennis's current status: http://www.qth.com/py0f
QSL INFO AND NEWS.................

2001. QSLs for 5A24PA go to: Alex van Hengel, PA1AW, Schoener 85,
2991JK Barendrecht, The Netherlands.
QSLs for all valid callsigns in the A52UD log not previously answered
direct have been prepared and sent through the bureau system. Work is
now proceeding on outstanding requests for QSLs from K4VUD's activity
as HS0ZCW, XW1UD, 9N1UD and 9N7UD. Questions should be directed to
K4VUD.
Don, G3XTT, (D68C Publicity Manager), reports: 'Phil, G3SWH, is receiving
a lot of phone calls and e-mails asking about the availability of QSLs
for our February Dxpedition as D68C. As most folk will realise, with the
biggest DXpedition of all time (168k QSOs!), getting the cards printed
has been a major task, especially as we have gone for a high quality
4-sided card, which will look good in everyone's QSL collection. The
cards are being printed in Germany, and should arrive with Phil late May.
However, Phil and his xyl have a week's trip to 8Q7 scheduled for early
June, and doesn't expect to get into the QSL activity until after his
return (even QSL managers deserve a break occasionally!). Please be
patient. The cards will be well worth the wait. And remember that SWL
cards do not go to Phil, but to Bob Treacher (see previous bulletins
for his and Phil's address).'

requests yet ... Save your green stamps .. I will inform you when all QSLs
were mailed! Please do not send me E-mail 'Did you receive my QSL?':
Because I really don't know! Don't worry about your QSL! All QSLs
received will be returned!'
Cam, HP1AC, informs OPDX that he now has a QSL Manager handling his

FEW NOTES FROM EDITOR, TEDD, KB8NW: Because I will be attending the
Dayton HamVention, I cannot guarantee that there will be a bulletin
next week. If it does happen, it will probably be late Monday. Please,
continue to send your information (you never know!).
The Northern Ohio DX Association (along with WVNO Radio) will once
again sponsor a Hospitality Suite at this year's Dayton Hamvention. It
will be in Suite 1011 on the 10th Club Floor of the Crowne Plaza Hotel
(old Stouffers) on Friday and Saturday evenings. All DXers/Contesters
are welcome. Munchies and refreshments will be avaialble. Come and
meet the members and friends of NODXA.
TIP OF THE YEAR (Get the hint!): When sending regular messages, turn OFF
your 'HTML' format in your mail programs and use plain text. This will
save a lot of bandwidth. Using 'HTML' usually makes the message twice as
big and copies itself twice in one message!

to have 2 stations active on 80-10 meters. The prearranged date
is June 29th through July 1st, but these dates can suffer changes
depending of the paperwork. The QSLs will be via OA4DJW.
LIGHTHOUSE OPERATION (Lights Out!). The information OPDX received and
reported on in last week's bulletin about Eric/G0KJW and Terry/G0OWE going
to Longstone Lighthouse (LH 0234) is not true. Eric contacted OPDX and
confirmed this. We are not sure who started the rumor, but we are sorry
for reporting it.

keeping in touch with Dennis frequently to insure that every effort is made
to fill the needs of the deserving. Carl, K9LA, is brewing propagtion
guru magic to predict the best path/time for those QSOs. QSL via Steve,
KU9C. Check the following Web site which will be updated frequently with
Dennis's current status: http://www.qth.com/py0f
QSL INFO AND NEWS.................
Alex, PA1AW, reports that he now has all of the 5A24PA logs. Cards will
be printed during the next month. Cards will start going out mid June
2001. QSLs for 5A24PA go to: Alex van Hengel, PA1AW, Schoener 85,
2991JK Barendrecht, The Netherlands.
QSLs for all valid callsigns in the A52UD log not previously answered
direct have been prepared and sent through the bureau system. Work is
now proceeding on outstanding requests for QSLs from K4VUD's activity
as HS0ZCW, XW1UD, 9N1UD and 9N7UD. Questions should be directed to
K4VUD.
Don, G3XTT, (D68C Publicity Manager), reports: 'Phil, G3SWH, is receiving
a lot of phone calls and e-mails asking about the availability of QSLs
for our February Dxpedition as D68C. As most folk will realise, with the
biggest DXpedition of all time (168k QSOs!), getting the cards printed
has been a major task, especially as we have gone for a high quality
4-sided card, which will look good in everyone's QSL collection. The
cards are being printed in Germany, and should arrive with Phil late May.
However, Phil and his xyl have a week's trip to 8Q7 scheduled for early
June, and doesn't expect to get into the QSL activity until after his
return (even QSL managers deserve a break occasionally!). Please be
patient. The cards will be well worth the wait. And remember that SWL
cards do not go to Phil, but to Bob Treacher (see previous bulletins
for his and Phil's address).'

last week (The major part of it are QSLs received last year). A second
QSL package (around 800) will be sent at the end of this month (The last
package of QSL received last year). Gil states again, 'Do not resend QSL
requests yet ... Save your green stamps .. I will inform you when all QSLs
were mailed! Please do not send me E-mail 'Did you receive my QSL?':
Because I really don't know! Don't worry about your QSL! All QSLs
received will be returned!'
Cam, HP1AC, informs OPDX that he now has a QSL Manager handling his
cards after May 1, 2001. QSL HP1AC via his QSL Manager EA5KB:

TIP OF THE MONTH: When sending regular messages, turn OFF your 'HTML' format
in your mail programs and use plain text. This will save
a lot of bandwidth. Using 'HTML' usually makes the message
twice as big and copies itself twice in one message!

* PLEASE NOTE: The report 'could' contain 'Pirate/SLIM' operations. As
always, you never know - 'Work First Worry Later' (WFWL).
OPDX InterNet Subscribers will receive an additional bulletin (due to its
size) with a complete breakdown and 'DXCC/Entities Chart of Activity'.
ARE WE HAVING A GREAT YEAR FOR DXING? Joe, W1JR, thinks so. Joe wrote to
OPDX and states, 'Just a note to tell you DX this year is doing well and
possibly ahead of all years. Each year I try to see how many DXCC entities
I can work. In a good year I can make about 280-290. Hence, on January 1,
2001 I started anew AGAIN. I guess I never learn! Yesterday (May 3rd) I
worked XU7 for DXCC #270, all in just over 4 months. This is the earliest
in the year that I have ever worked 270 entities. I figure I have missed
about 10 others. I do keep a normal sleep pattern and don't catch them
all! The DX is there. You just have to listen and work them!'
3B6RF THE AGALEGA DXPEDITION (Update/Change). It has been reported that
the 3B6RF team is now on the island as this bulletin was being prepared,

reported that it took the team 34 hours by boat, with rough seas and waves
3 meters high, to reach the island. They are expected to be on the air by

QSL INFORMATION FROM THE DESK OF OH2BN: 'Effective May 15th, late QSLing
of E44DX, H40AA, 4W/N5KO and 4W/W3UR will be done by Steve, KU9C. The
procedure we use is to keep answering all direct requests for 18 to 24
months from the time of the actual DXpedition. At the end of that
period, all remaining QSOs will be QSLed through the bureau network.
Because we do not print extra QSLs for another round, a 'combo late
request QSL-card' has been designed to confirm these late requests at
KU9C.
In the case of TX0DX, we will keep answering all direct requests up
to September 2001, when the bureau release will take place. All TX0DX
direct requests have been answered as of today and we hold no backlog.'
de Jarmo Jaakola, OH2BN
Update on PW0S QSL Status by Steve, KU9C: 'It appears that I will have
the QSL cards for PW0S, barring unforeseen shipping problems, the weekend
BEFORE Dayton. I expect them to arrive at my QTH on May 11th. If this
happens on schedule, I plan to issue ALL direct QSL cards that are clean
in the log by Tuesday, May 15th (it will be a busy weekend, but most of
the preparation is done). Thus, many of you should have a shot at having
your card in advance of the Dayton Hamvention. If the schedule slips, my
plans are to do what I can do before leaving for Dayton, and finishing the
process upon my return. Some of the PW0S members will be at Dayton, and
will be hand carrying the paper logs, which will allow me to research any
of the 'not in log' QSOs. Thus, if your card does not appear in your box
immediately, please give me a few weeks to research the logs, as you may
well be not in the log. I'll post a note when the QSL process is 'up to
date'. Thanks to all of you that included donations with your QSL requests.
The donations will be forwarded to the PW0S team to help pay down the
expenses of this operation. If you would like further details, PY7ZZ's
web site has a very detailed accounting of the DXpedition expenses, which
you may find of interest. Go to the log search page at:
http://www.soutomaior.eti.br/mario
Click on the 'Costs' shortcut. Donations are still being accepted by
myself and W9VA, Bill, as we are still trying to close the gap on
expenses.............. 73 es DX IS! Steve KU9C'
OPDX has been asked 'What is the QSL status of the VK9XY cards?' Last

thirty-some days, Ian, G4DIE. He obtained permission to operate and
was active on CW and PSK. He has made over 400 PSK contacts to date.
Ian was scheduled to leave May 1st. His QSL MANAGER is Doug's wife,
Dani, ZP6CU. Doug states that, ZP6CU continues to be his manager, and
manager for another North American there ZP6GG. She still has logs for
S07UN and CN2UN, and they still have the cards on hand for those
operations which are now QRT.
Raul, LU6EF, GACW Coordinator and QSL Manager, announced this week
that 'The GACW Group will accept eQSL cards to achieve the awards that
they are currently using. Also, they will accept eQSL cards for any
special certificate of merit issued to relevant individuals and/or
organizations. In other words, the GACW coordinators will spread the

other countries to encourage and enforce the use of this very safe,
quick and cheap method of confirming amateur radio contacts.

Kia Orana from the Island of Rarotonga
Kia Orana to all Hams from ZK1CG Victor Rivera
As you may have heard we are making a DX trip to North Cooks in October for
CQWW SSB contest with five operators from the Western Washington DX Club.
We will be in Manihiki North Cooks for 2 weeks from October 18th .
We need help with this operation and would like to know if anyone is
planning a vacation or trip to the Cook Islands before October.
We just received the antennas we will use in the North and South Cooks for
this operation at great expense via air freight to insure we can ship to the
North Cooks before October.
Now we need to get some ham radio gear down to Rarotonga so we can ship to
Manihiki
before October.
So if any of you serious or not so serious hams are coming to the Cooks for
a vacation or DXing please contact me. I'm sure we will make your stay in
the Cook Islands a most pleasant and enjoyable, plus you will be helping
many make a new contact from North and South Cooks.
If you would like more information about this operation and what bands and
modes we will be operating on please contact me.

TIP OF THE MONTH: When sending regular messages, turn OFF your 'HTML' format
in your mail programs and use plain text. This will save
a lot of bandwidth. Using 'HTML' usually makes the message

always, you never know - 'Work First Worry Later' (WFWL).
OPDX InterNet Subscribers will receive an additional bulletin (due to its
size) with a complete breakdown and 'DXCC/Entities Chart of Activity'.
ARE WE HAVING A GREAT YEAR FOR DXING? Joe, W1JR, thinks so. Joe wrote to
OPDX and states, 'Just a note to tell you DX this year is doing well and
possibly ahead of all years. Each year I try to see how many DXCC entities
I can work. In a good year I can make about 280-290. Hence, on January 1,
2001 I started anew AGAIN. I guess I never learn! Yesterday (May 3rd) I
worked XU7 for DXCC #270, all in just over 4 months. This is the earliest
in the year that I have ever worked 270 entities. I figure I have missed
about 10 others. I do keep a normal sleep pattern and don't catch them
all! The DX is there. You just have to listen and work them!'
3B6RF THE AGALEGA DXPEDITION (Update/Change). It has been reported that
the 3B6RF team is now on the island as this bulletin was being prepared,

3 meters high, to reach the island. They are expected to be on the air by

QSL INFORMATION FROM THE DESK OF OH2BN: 'Effective May 15th, late QSLing
of E44DX, H40AA, 4W/N5KO and 4W/W3UR will be done by Steve, KU9C. The
procedure we use is to keep answering all direct requests for 18 to 24
months from the time of the actual DXpedition. At the end of that
period, all remaining QSOs will be QSLed through the bureau network.
Because we do not print extra QSLs for another round, a 'combo late
request QSL-card' has been designed to confirm these late requests at
KU9C.
In the case of TX0DX, we will keep answering all direct requests up
to September 2001, when the bureau release will take place. All TX0DX
direct requests have been answered as of today and we hold no backlog.'
de Jarmo Jaakola, OH2BN
Update on PW0S QSL Status by Steve, KU9C: 'It appears that I will have
the QSL cards for PW0S, barring unforeseen shipping problems, the weekend
BEFORE Dayton. I expect them to arrive at my QTH on May 11th. If this
happens on schedule, I plan to issue ALL direct QSL cards that are clean
in the log by Tuesday, May 15th (it will be a busy weekend, but most of
the preparation is done). Thus, many of you should have a shot at having
your card in advance of the Dayton Hamvention. If the schedule slips, my
plans are to do what I can do before leaving for Dayton, and finishing the
process upon my return. Some of the PW0S members will be at Dayton, and
will be hand carrying the paper logs, which will allow me to research any
of the 'not in log' QSOs. Thus, if your card does not appear in your box
immediately, please give me a few weeks to research the logs, as you may
well be not in the log. I'll post a note when the QSL process is 'up to
date'. Thanks to all of you that included donations with your QSL requests.
The donations will be forwarded to the PW0S team to help pay down the
expenses of this operation. If you would like further details, PY7ZZ's
web site has a very detailed accounting of the DXpedition expenses, which
you may find of interest. Go to the log search page at:
http://www.soutomaior.eti.br/mario
Click on the 'Costs' shortcut. Donations are still being accepted by
myself and W9VA, Bill, as we are still trying to close the gap on
expenses.............. 73 es DX IS! Steve KU9C'
OPDX has been asked 'What is the QSL status of the VK9XY cards?' Last
we heard was cards were coming out (for the U.S.) the first past of the
year. Does anyone have a more current update to report?
Doug, ZP6CW, informs OPDX that he has had a houseguest for the last
thirty-some days, Ian, G4DIE. He obtained permission to operate and
was active on CW and PSK. He has made over 400 PSK contacts to date.
Ian was scheduled to leave May 1st. His QSL MANAGER is Doug's wife,
Dani, ZP6CU. Doug states that, ZP6CU continues to be his manager, and
manager for another North American there ZP6GG. She still has logs for
S07UN and CN2UN, and they still have the cards on hand for those
operations which are now QRT.
Raul, LU6EF, GACW Coordinator and QSL Manager, announced this week
that 'The GACW Group will accept eQSL cards to achieve the awards that
they are currently using. Also, they will accept eQSL cards for any
special certificate of merit issued to relevant individuals and/or
organizations. In other words, the GACW coordinators will spread the
benefits of this system to more than 500 members in Argentina and some
other countries to encourage and enforce the use of this very safe,
quick and cheap method of confirming amateur radio contacts.

for his Labrador DXpdition before he leaves for the north country on
June 1st. He expects to commence operations about June 6th and will operate
daily until he QRTs on August 31st. This will give the worldwide hams an
opportunity to contact CQ Zone 2 and ITU Zone 9 (which are usually not
active/listed every week). In brief, Fred will be operating mostly SSB
(with occasional CW) on 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, and 40 meters and CW on 30
meters per the schedule on his Web site. Normally, look for him near the

'SO MUCH ACTIVITY NO - ROOM TO REPORT ALL OF IT!..... de Tedd KB8NW'
TIP OF THE WEEK: When sending regular messages, turn OFF your 'HTML' format
in your mail programs and use plain text. This will save
a lot of bandwidth. Using 'HTML' usually makes the message
twice as big and copies itself twice in one message!

3B6RF THE AGALEGA DXPEDITION (Update). As this was being written, the
3B6RF team is heading to Agalega and plans to arrive around May 2nd or
3rd. The team will start operating 10 or 12 hours after landing and stay
active until the 16th or 17th of May. From a press release by Steve, N3SL,
the advance team for 3B6RF had been on 3B8 for a week where they obtained
the license and landing permit, and purchased the perishable supplies and
arranged final transportation. The remaining crew should have been in
3B8-land by Saturday, April 28th. Their flight arrangements now calls for
travel to 3B6 via S7, and they expect to be on the air by May 3rd, and to
begin the tear down process on May 16th. They will not begin operations
until all 6 stations are assembled, which includes the massive array of
antennas. Once they start, they will be on all bands, 160-6 plus satellite,
and all modes (CW, SSB, RTTY/PSK, FM, and SSTV). Their team of 21 members,
many of whom gave you 3B7, is giving concentrated effort to North America,
with extra attention to the low bands. Unfortunately, they do not share
common darkness past the Midwest, so pray hard to the 160 gods! There may
be times they have 2 or even 3 stations on 160 simultaneously if conditions
warrant. They fully expect to finish with 100,000+ QSOs, approximately
65,000 on CW and at least 2,500 on RTTY/PSK. The digital modes will
commence on day 1, but with times limited to 1 hour/continent until
the CW pile-ups are worked down a bit. Then more effort will be placed
on digital. PSK31 will be a bit unique, as they are using software capable
of decoding multiple signals simultaneously. They will listen both up and
down 1+ kHz, allowing them to work someone 'up 1' while already decoding
the next station 'down 1' and vice versa, keeping the rates as high as
possible. Standard DX frequencies will be used, and they will always
work split. The entire band plan is spelled out on their web page. A color
QSL is planned, so QSLing will not begin for some time after the expedition
is over. North American (Canada, U.S., and Mexico) QSLs go via
Kimberly Larson, the daughter of N3SL, at N3SL's CBA: 22 N Hidden Acres
Drive, Sioux City, IA, 51108. All other QSLs via HB9AGH. As usual, the
bureau will be used for cards received via the bureau or without sufficient
return postage. Their web page gratefully acknowledges all of their sponsors
and contributors to date. Each team member has put forth a minimum of
6000 USD toward this effort, but with the change in travel plans via S7,
significant, unexpected expenses have been incurred, and further
assistance/donations will be greatly appreciated. Information and feedback
during the expedition should be sent via their American pilot station:
Bill Avery, K6GNX, at ' bavery@telemetry.com '. They especially want
feedback from the western half of the U.S., where 3B6 is needed most.
Online logs will be updated daily during the expedition. For more info and
daily news, check out the 3B6RF Web page at: http://www.agalega2000.ch

about 1000 QSL cards yet to go. Gil states the following:
- 'PLEASE, Do not resend QSL request !! (save your green stamps)
- I WILL INFORM YOU WHEN ALL QSL WILL BE SENT !! AFTER THAT YOU CAN
RESEND REQUESTS .. FOR LOST MAIL etc... ...
- We will start Bureau QSLing after all direct QSLs are sent
- DO NOT SEND ME (or to Erwann F6JJX) E-mail 'Did you received my
QSL ?' >> We really don't know!
- DON'T FORGET to put with your request , postage contribution and
SAE (SELF ADRESSED Envelop) many of you forgot the SAE!!! ... Also
don't forget to write your country on the SAE!! Many of you forgot
it too ... That's the major reason for lost mail.'
QSL K5K STATUS. The 425 DX News reports that Tom, N4XP, is processing
and mailing QSLs daily. He started six weeks ago, but the queue was over
30,000, so it will take a while.
R2/DK8LV STATUS. Stephan, DK8LV, reports that all cards received have
not been answered yet. The reason for this is that after his stay in
Kaliningrad last year, friends in UA2-land ordered the QSL cards by
UA3AA in Moscow. He received the package with the cards last December,
but they were all printed with the wrong callsign (R2/DL8LV!). So,
Stephan had to order new cards again, but they have not arrived yet
- shipment date was February 22nd (!!). He states that he will wait
until the end of April, and if the cards are not received by then, he
will look for a new printer. Stephan will answer all cards as soon as
they are ready from the printer.
QSLs for TA0/IT9YRE/p and TA0/IT9WDY/p go to IT9YRE either direct
(Ferdinando Rubino, P.O. Box 30, 96012 Avola - SR, Italy) or through
the ARI bureau.
The team of operators that were active from Enewetak as V73E are back
on Kwajalein as this bulletin was being prepared. They made about
18,000 QSOs. QSL via WF5T. A Web site has been set up for this operation
at: http://www.sixmeters.com/v73e
Bill, K6KM, reports that all direct QSLs for VK9NOO and VK9NNN have
been answered. No bureau cards have been received yet. He mentions
that about 5% of the cards had the wrong date. NONE had time off by
more than five minutes. Bill states, 'Apparently many ops don't know
that U. S. postage to almost anywhere is now 80 cents. Many cards had
60 cent stamps. Correct U. S. postage is best, 1 USD is almost as good,
IRCs are a pain but they work (only 1 required). Envelopes with peel-off
stickies are GREAT! Thanks to those who sent them!'
Bob Schenck, N2OO/9M6OO/V85OO, announced the formation of 'The QSL
Manager's Society'. This will be a web based 'organization' that will
act as a 'point of contact' for quality QSL managers, and for DXpeditions
or DX stations looking for one. It will also provide a central source of
information useful to any QSL manager. Please visit the web page at:
http://www.qsl.net/qslmanagers
SAD NOTE. Bob Schenck, N2OO/9M6OO/V85OO, sadly reported this week the
passing of H.G. Hassan, V85HG (aka V8HG). Hassan was always a strong
and steady voice for Ham Radio in Brunei. He will be sorely missed. Bob
mentions that a nice photo of Hassan can be found on the Buckmaster
callsign server at the web site: http://buck.com/cgi-bin/do_hamcallexe
(enter V85HG). OPDX and the DX community send out our deepest sympathy
to the family and friends.
SPECIAL EVENT. During the celebration of the 56th Anniversary of the end
World War II, the members of the 'Michurinsk Contest Groupe' will activate
the special event stations RP3RST, RP3RTG, RP3RTK and RP3RZK between May

All QSL requests for the 2000 year activity were sent via the bureau.
'THE MOBILE DXER' (New Book). Dave, AC6WO, has informed OPDX that he has
written a new book for 'The Mobile DXer'. This book is the 'First and Only'
book devoted entirely to Mobile Dxing. 'The Mobile DXer' will be introduced

'Yes, we had 4U1UN on the air in PSK and SSTV for a short time again last
Friday (April 13th). (We initially ran some tests back in February). It is
anticipated that 4U1UN will be on in the digital modes fairly regularly in
the near future, once a few computer issues have been resolved, and antenna
improvements have been made.'

QSL INFO AND NEWS.................
Carl, N4AA, editor of 'QRZ DX' reports that there has been some confusion
on the callsign for the QSL Manager for 3V8SM and 3V8SQ. John, K1XN,
of the GoList, tells Carl that the information he received was 3V8SM
via DL1DBF: Manfred Wiedemann, Am Feldberg 43, D-57334 Bad Laasphe,
GERMANY.
The correct address for 3W2KF (operated by F5PBL) is: Claude Terrier,
18 allee du Mail, 92360 Meudon la Foret, France.
Robert, S53R, informs OPDX that all direct requests for E4/S53R have
been answered. All contacts made will also be confirmed via bureau
when he is back home for a holiday in July 2001. Many requests for
his recent operations as AP2ARS, EY8/S53R and UK8AXA were received.
QSLs are being printed and will also be answered during the next
holiday. Do not send duplicate requests.
Fran, EA7FTR, reports that he is the QSL Manager for the following
stations: CE3HKF, HR1BY, HR1RGA, HR1RQF and ZP6EM.
It is reported that Ken, N8KR, is having printer problems on his
QSL cards for his October 2000 operation from FP land. He states
to please stand by and QSLs will be out as soon as he receives them.
Also, his XYL wants the dining room table back!
RAC CORRECT ADDRESS. Fred, PY7ZZ/PY0FZ, informs OPDX that there is
a bad listing of his RAC address. The correct address is:

using and FT 847 w/100 watts (maybe more!) into a 5 element Yagi antenna.
He states to listen for his CQ on 50.110 kHz and will begin listening on
50.200 kHz (5 to 10 up). His operations will be mainly CW, but there will
be some SSB if conditions are good. Eric will be running a beacon using
25 watts on 50.096 kHz. The beacon will send: VVVVV DE TT8JE JK72MC --
(5'') and break (5''). IMPORTANT! Eric reports that he worked many stations
in 1998, however, in 2001, he states, 'NO dupe or I'll cancel old QSO.
Listening carefully on my frequency, don't loose time for you and all
others (Sample: When I say Alpha Bravo NO others like Alpha Kilo...).
Education and courtesy, no need to say more.' Eric will be on HF using
the same radio but with a R7000, dipoles and loop antennas. His modes
of operation will be RTTY/PSK31 and will try SSTV and CW. He suggests
to look for him on the WARC bands and especially on 10 meters. QSL via
F6FNU.

VK9M, MELLISH REEF. After three days of sailing, the VK9ML team landed
on the Mellish Reef Thursday, April 19th at 2321z. According to a press
release by Adam, VK4CP: 'There was some concern that Mellish Reef may
not exist as such anymore as it has been a few years since the last
DXpedition and there have been several cyclones in that area in recent
years. Mellish Reef is only 1 metre above high tide, as was the case
when the team arrived.' The team is expected to be active until April
24th. Look for them on various bands. For more details on the Mellish
Reef Site Survey DXpedition have a look at the web site:

will be lots of low band activity besides the HF. They plan to keep the
WARC bands busy. There will be (as they state) 'gallons of CW, a few pints
of SSB, a glass or two of RTTY, and maybe a 'wee dram' of PSK31. Their
pilot station will be Chris, GM3WOJ. You will be able to send your
feedbacks, comments and suggestions to them via E-mail at:

ZK1, NORTH COOK ISLAND. Victor, ZK1CG, reports to OPDX that Tuatai, ZK1MA,
is back in Manihiki, North Cook Island after his long stay in Rarotonga,
South Cook as ZK1CY. Tuatai is mainly a CW operator using FT-747GX and
dipoles for antennas. His home and radio gear/antennas were completely
wipe off the Atoll a few years ago during a hurricane that destroyed 85.%
of the Atoll. He is slowly recovering from this, Victor/ZK1CG sent Tuatai
the FT 747GX to use with battery power. Victor is now operational from
South Cook thanks to W7VV (Roger and Sue) who so kindly sent him a rig
that he had as a spare. Victor states that they will be donating some
antennas to Tuatai after their October CQWW SSB Contest operation. What
Tuatai needs now is new a mike for his rig. If you have an old (not too
used) mike for his FT-747GX laying around, please let Victor know and he
will make arrangements to send it to Tuatai. Victor's E-mail address is:

following DX information.
OPDX CELEBRATES ITS 10TH ANNIVERSARY! I can't believe that almost every
Sunday morning for the last 10 years I have sat in front of my computer
writing the OPDX bulletin. Even my wife Linda (OPDX's chief proof reader)
can't believe she has been reading 'all this stuff' (as she puts it) for
10 years. When I first started the bulletin, it used to take a few hours
to write, but it has grown, and now it takes several hours.
Actually, I am a week late in celebrating. With all the confusion last
week in losing my link to the InterNet for BARF-80 BBS, I forgot that
April 7th, 1991, was the first issue of the OPDX. Many ask, why do you write
the OPDX for free?' (including my wife, she says, 'If you get one USD from
everyone you could buy a new radio'). The reason that I write the OPDX
and my involvement in the DX community is to help others achieve the
pleasure and challenge of working DX as I have. I really enjoy the hobby.
However, I also must not forget the many friends I have gained over the
years writing the bulletin. Without their help and contributions of
information, there would not be a bulletin. Lastly, I would like to thank
my wife. Without her there would not be an OPDX. She is a non-ham (which
one day I hope to change), but a LD teacher and proof reads the bulletin
every week (usually telling me she is not sure what she is reading), plus
she puts up with the many hours I spend at the keyboard and with club
activities.
Thanks for reading the OPDX and I hope to continue to provided information
each week that will let you work a 'NEW ONE'.... Remember, DX IS ..

always, you never know - 'Work First Worry Later' (WFWL).
OPDX InterNet Subscribers will receive an additional bulletin (due to its
size) with a complete breakdown and 'DXCC/Entities Chart of Activity'.
3A, MONACO. Fabrizio/IK5GQK, Giuseppe/IK5YOJ, Stefano/IW5BZQ and Virginio/
IW5EDQ will be active for 3 days from 3A-land (JN33RR) between June 1-3th.
They will CONCENTRATE their activity on 6 meters, but they will also be
active on 2 meters and HF. Their callsigns will be 3A/IK5GQK, 3A/IK5YOJ,
3A/IW5BZQ and 3A/IW5EDQ. Their activity is as follows:
6 meters - (50.210 SSB, 50.600 RTTY, 50.620 PSK31) using an Icom
IC-706MKIIG with 6 element yagi and HQ50 Halo Loop.
2 meters - (144.290 SSB) Icom IC-706 with 9 element yagi.
HF bands - (SSB, RTTY, PSK31, SSTV) two Yaesu FT-100 and vertical
antennas.
You can make skeds before and during their operation by sending
E-mail to: 3a@mannelli.com

QSL VHF QSOs (6/2 meters) direct to: Stefano Mannelli, P.O.BOX 569,
50123, Firenze Centro, ITALY. QSL HF QSOs direct to: Fabrizio Vannini,
via Forlanini 68, 50127 Firenze, ITALY.
3B6, AGALEGA (Update). Steve, N3SL, informs OPDX of the following and
states that there will probably be one last press release bulletin from
the 'official sources' before the team hits the air. The advance team
leaves in little over one week with the rest of the team on April 28th
from Zurich to Mauritius. It is NOT absolutely certain, but it is looking
like the team is flying to and from 3B6, which would give them an extra
3 days on the air (that should probably come from the official news
release). Steve, N3SL, states that his daughter, Kim, is now going to
handle the QSLs for North America (not just the USA). So, Canada and
Mexico are to be sent via Kim Larson, 22 N. Hidden Acres Dr., Sioux City,
IA 51108 (which is N3SL's CBA). Reportedly, Kim is handicapped and is
getting a real thrill in doing this job. It occupies her time, and she
loves seeing all the cards. She did probably 75% of the AH1A QSL cards,
so she is not a novice. The 3B6RF team is planning a photo card, so that
will undoubtedly take a bit of time after the DXpedition to get printed.
Steve states that he will see to it that all the U.S. DX newsletters are
kept informed on their status. Steve will be doing mostly CW, but he has
been asked to do RTTY (or possibly SSB) whenever they're trying to work
the U.S.
Riki, 4X4NJ, reports that he will be joining the 3B6RF team as part
of a 21 amateur group. He states, 'We'll have 8 stations on the air during
the first 3 weeks of May. All of the equipment and antennas are 'World
Class' - examples: 4square arrays on 80m & 40M, Titanex vertical and
Beverages for 160M, beams for HF, Yaesu FT1000MP transceivers with 1KW
amplifiers, etc...... Naturally, I will devote myself to 160M as much
as possible!' For more details, check online at: http://www.agalega2000.ch
3C, EQUATORIAL GUINEA. Martin, 3C5J, was active last week on 20/17/10
meters. The sad part is that his operation will not count for DXCC because
he is operating from an oil platform. He is expected to be there for 6
months. The good news is that 'The Daily DX' is reporting Martin may have
a chance to go to Malabo to operate which will count for DXCC.
3XY, GUINEA. A couple of new stations have been on the air signing the
prefix 3XY. Station 3XY6A was active during last week, mainly on 12 meters
(24955 kHz between 1730-1930z) with little activity on 20 meters (14203
kHz after 2230z). QSL via VE2XO. Station 3XY2S showed up over the weekend
on 10 meters (28447 kHz around 0915z). QSL via P.O. Box 1484, Konakry.
4U, UNITED NATIONS HQ. This one has to be the most interesting report of
the week. Reports on the Cluster Network indicate that 4U1UN was active
on PSK31 on 20 meters and SSTV on 15 meters.
A2, BOTSWANA. Charles, A25/KY4P, was heard active over the past weekend
on 10 meters CW/SSB. Check around 28002 kHz or 28452 kHz between 1200
and 1500z. QSL via SV0LM.
C6, BAHAMAS. By the time you read this, Tom, WB8N, should be in Nassau
(IOTA NA-001) beginning Easter Sunday, for 6 days. He intend to operate
a portable HF station from the resort he is staying at, beginning Monday
April 16th. He will receive his callsign upon arrival. His operating times
will be approximatly from 2000-2200z (possibly longer). His suggested
frequencies are:
10 meters - 28495 kHz +/- 10 kHz (main)
28450 kHz +/- 5 kHz (secondary)
28520 kHz +/- 5 KHz
If conditions are poor on 10 meters, look for him on 20 meters (14195
kHz +/- 10 kHz). He will also give 12 meters a try, on: 24950 kHz (SSB)
and 24890 kHz (CW) both +/- 5 kHz.
E4, PALESTINE. Gunter, OE1GZA, is now active from here as E4/OE1GZA. He
was heard this past weekend on 15/10 meters between 1100 and 1600z.
Check around 28460 and 21270 kHz.
HK0, MALPELO ISLAND. Pedro, HK3JJH, is now active as HK3JJH/HK0M. Reports
show he has been on 40/20/15/10 meters SSB.

and the north coast of KP4 until April 21st for an ecological research
trip that will net her some pre-college biology credit. She took along
a borrowed AEA 10 meter DX Handy and will try to work her father if
conditions are right. This would be a great demo of amateur radio for
the other students if it works. She will be calling him near 28375 kHz
(+/- 5 kHz) at the top of the hour beginning at 1700z and depending upon
her scheduled activities. Her operating time will be limited because her
itinerary is pretty full with snorkeling, exploring mangrove swamps and
hiking in a tropical rain forest. Hal asks that if any DXers hear her,
please spot her on the DX PacketCluster. Also, he can be reached via
E-mail ( kc8fs@aol.com ) or via the phone (304) 744-5949 (H) and

QRP-PEDITION FROM A UR-QRP CLUB. The Ukrainian QRP Club will hold its
first (what they call a) 'QRP-pedition' to the Ai-Petri mountain in
Crimea, from May 4-11th. The main aim of this expedition are:
1) To publicize low power activity on the air.
2) To attract the attention of hams to the QRP movement and to show
the boundless possibilities for low power operations.
3) To test home-made QRP transceivers, as well as, to meet friends
and associate with them.
A special callsign will be used during the QRP-pedition: EM5QRP. The
members of the QRP-pedition are: RK3ZK, UR6IRL, UR7IRL, US1RCH, US1REO,
UU4JCQ, UY1AW and UZ8RR. The QRP-pedition members output power of their
transmitters will be: 5 watts (CW) and 10 watts (SSB). Look for them to
be active mainly on the international QRP frequencies. Operations on
RTTY and SSTV are being planned too. Prizes (A book, published by Igor
Grigorov, RK3ZK) will be given out to three stations who have the largest
number of the QSOs with the QRP-pedition members on various bands. All
other contacts will get a special QSL card confirming their QSOs. Those
who wish to get the QRP-pedition pennant must send their QSL and 4 IRC
to the expedition QSL Manager UR7IRL: Vladimir Tretyakov, Post Box 41,

ZK1, SOUTH COOK ISLANDS (Update/Help Answered). OPDX received another
message from a very excited Victor, ZK1CG, and he stated that thanks to
the call for help for his KT43A antenna situation in last week's bulletin,
someone has offerred to send him a complete/operational KT43A. Details
have to be worked out on sending it, but Victor will keep us informed.
He will use the antenna at his Rarotonga location, and on his vacation
in October to Manihiki, North Cook Islands for the CQWW SSB Contest
with five operators from the Western Washington DX Club. They will be
in Manihiki for one week, and possibly Victor will be there for 2 weeks.
If you are planning a trip to the Cooks and would like to help in getting
some antennas down to Rarotonga (so they can be shipped to Manihiki before
October), contact Victor. He states, '..... coming to the Cooks for a
vacation or DXing........... I'm sure we will make your stay in the Cook
Islands a most pleasant and enjoyable one, plus you will be helping many
make a new contact from North and South Cooks.' Keep looking for Victor
on 10 meters between 28480 and 28490 kHz after 0000z. ADDED NOTE: Victor
is looking for the extension kit to make the KT43A into a six element beam.

Subject: PW0S/BQ9P QSL Status
Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2001 15:22:26 -0400
I've had several requests for information on BQ9P and PW0S
status....here goes:
PW0S: I have the logs and have started the process of printing labels for
the cards I have. We've about completed the QSL design, which I think you
will find a prominent spot in your collection for, as it depicts the
challenges and personal efforts and risks the team took in putting PW0S
on the air for you. As soon as we get the QSL into the printing process,
I'll have an arrival date and be able to predict when cards will go out and
the first round of cards completed.
There are on-line logs at http://www.soutomaior.eti.br/mario/ and then
follow the PW0S link....and click on logs. Please report any problems
to me at ku9c@arrl.net, but please also note I'm a bit behind, and in many
cases, have to direct the question to the appropriate PY amateur. Also,
if you have submitted your card, no need to ask via email, I'll research
it as I process the cards.
BQ9P: The logs were all by hand, and have yet to be entered into a
computer. I'm about to start that process. The QSL design has been
started, and as with PW0S, when I send the card to the printer, I'll be
able to predict when the cards will be going out. It too will be a color
card, so your patience will be rewarded with a nice QSL to commemorate
this operation.
Logs may be posted on the web if I find time, although there appears to
be limited value in doing so. If you have submitted your card, your QSOs
will be checked against the paper logs if there are any questions.
Email me at ku9c@arrl.net if you have any questions.

SSTV and DX-peditions
Never before there was so many SSTV activity from different countries as
nowadays. The release of the free soundcard software 'MMSSTV' is a big
help on the popularity of SSTV. And it's fine to see that major
DX-peditions add SSTV to their mode-list. In the past we had already
SSTV from 3D2CI, BQ9P, XZ0A, ZK1AXU, ZD7K, ZD8K, A35SC etc etc.
If you are going on a trip to an exotic spot, we ( a bunch of SSTV
DX'ers ) like to help you to do some SSTV ...
It's different to run a SSTV pile up ... we can advise you and bring you
in contact with previous 'SSTV DX-peditioners'.
For everybody there is a lot of info for STARTERS on my website:
www.qsl.net/on4vt. There you find also recently received DX pictures
(4U1UN, ZC4BS, ZD7K, ZD8K, 3D2CI, etc etc).

SPECIAL NOTE FROM EDITOR: Last week was a rough week for your editor.
After about 7 days of no connection to the outside world, BARF-80 BBS
was finally back on-line connected to the InterNet on Thursday, April
12th. How bad was the connection missed? After several hours of down-
loading, BARF-80's backlog of messages was just over 1400 messages
(and this does not include all the amateur radio UseNet New Groups).
We were very lucky (and thankful) that 'APK.NET' held all messages
(few were lost) until the new DSL service was reconnect with BARF-80's
ISP 'NSHORE.ORG'. The DSL service that pulled the plug because of
bankruptcy effected over 1000 ISP and 81,000 users in northern Ohio.
We are glad it is back!

3A, MONACO (SLIM ALERT). A station signing as 3A2DX was heard active on
April 4th, on 28495 kHz at 1400z and then QSYed to 15 meters CW. This
station is a 'Pirate/Slim'. DO NOT QSL. Save your money. Buckmaster also
has this station listed as a Pirate.
3W2KF IS NOW QRT. Claude, F5PBL, is now back in France as of April 2nd.
He sent OPDX the following and requested that we publish it:
'Tnx to everybody for the calls. Despite a high level QRN on my side, I
hope I have answered to most of your calls (except USA ... sorry guys,
the QRN was S9 towards the States ! Did my best but ...). That was my
very first DX trip so sorry for my lack of experience in pile-ups
managering! QSLing is OK via bureau or direct (Claude TERRIER,
18 allee du Mail, F-92360 Meudon-la-Foret, France). Note that the address
in Villeparisis (Zip 77270) is OK also but not the quickest one and
please avoid Aulnay (Zip 93600) because the Postal services will soon
stop the forwarding to me. QSL cards should be printed and delivered
within 6 weeks now. I will then start the answering process, starting with
direct requests, of course. I will NOT answer to eQSLs, sorry.' For more
updated information and the log (which will be available soon), check
out the Web site at: http://www.qsl.net/f5pbl

allows. QSL to his CBA with SAE and return postage or via the RSGB bureau.

will be CW/RTTY/PSK31 and some times (only during his local daily time)
he will be on SSB and for special requests, on SSTV. Request for SSTV
skeds should be sent by E-mail until April 12th. Peter's E-mail address

EK, ARMENIA. Daniel, F5LGQ, will be here from April 9-21st, signing EK8ZZ.
Look for him to be active during his evening around 1600-1700z.
FJ, SAINT MARTIN. Philippe, F6BXE (ex-TR8DX and FG5HE), has been active
as FJ5DX since March. At the moment, he has been heard on 12 and 20 meters.
He was heard this past week on 14176 kHz around 0300z.
FO & FO0/A, FRENCH POLYNESIA AND AUSTRAL ISLANDS. Marcel, ON4QM/FO0DEH,

HK0, MALPELO ISLAND (2nd Operation Update). Jairo/HK5MQZ and Hiro/HK5QGX
have announced that the DXpedition originally planned between April 8-21st
has been cancelled. The reason for this cancellation: The second voyage of
the only ship that sails to Malpelo was cancelled; the scuba group that
had originally contracted the ship cancelled out. Jairo informs OPDX that
the first sailing from April 6th and 13th has no problems and would have
taken place. They had planned to sail on April 6th on the first trip and
return to Buenaventura on the second sailing. But their second trip was
cancelled and they did not have any possibilities for the return trip.
Therefore they cordially present their apologies to all colleagues who
were interested in this operation.
HONOR GIVEN. The Magnolia DX Association ( http://www.mdxa.org ) has sent
an appreciation plaque to Chuck Brady, N4BQW, for his one man operation
as 3Y0C. They wanted Chuck to know how much the DX community appreciated
his one man operation from Bouvet Island. Chuck endured many hardships
and much improvising to allow many thousands of DXers world-wide to make
a contact with the VERY rare DXCC entity.

all direct U.S. requests received prior to March 23, 2001, for QSOs prior
to January 1, 2001, have been answered and are now in the mail. He is
now (1/5 through) working on all direct DX QSOs received prior to March
23, 2001, for QSOs prior to January 1, 2001. Bernie hopes to have this
completed by the end of this month. Next will be all direct requests

now on-line at: http://www.dailydx.com/a61aj_search.html
If your QSO is not in the on-line log, more than likely it is in one of
the hand logs. Please do not panic.
Kasimir, DL2SBY, reports that he has been active as LX/DL2SBY, IS0/DL2SBY,

that he can not send these QSL cards back direct, so cards will be sent
back via the bureau. Gene recommends that when sending QSLs to him, use
envelopes that are dense and sealed with tape. Also, it is better/safer
to use IRCs.

(24 hour turn around now!) Alan, states, 'Just want to say 'thanks a
million' to those amateurs that heeded our request for generosity with
funds which we donate to Camp Quality (a children's cancer support
charity). So far we have donated close to $20,000.00 and more will be
welcome. US$$ are easily donated but IRCs will help a bit if you can't
get greenstamps. Don't get the wrong impression... donations don't
'buy' a card... you MUST be in the log also, of course. Please visit
the Macquarie Island web site (it is regularly up dated).........'
http://www.geocities.com/vk0ld/1.html
QSL DIRECT ONLY to VK4AAR. Important reminder.... Do NOT (repeat 'NOT')

that they found a 48 foot yacht last month capable of carrying up to 6
passengers. Originally, they wanted to travel with 4 operators and 2
divers in order to help share the cost. Unfortunatly, they could not
find 2 divers. So, instead of leaving with 2 empty spaces (which still
has to be paid as the charter and is a fixed price regardless the number
of passengers) they decided to invite 2 more operators. The operators now
are: F2CW, F5CW (FK8VHY), FK8FS, FK8FU, ZL1GO (JA4EKO) and FO3BM. They
will be leaving Noumea, April 24th for a 3 day journey. In route they

ZK1, SOUTH COOK ISLANDS (Update/Help Need). OPDX received another message
from Victor, ZK1CG, and he states the following (edited): 'Jim/ZK1JD and
myself are both running barefoot rigs. Jim has a dipole up about 30 to
40 feet for 20 meters, I know this because I threw the rock over the
tree Hi Hi. He also has a vertical and a 5 element monobander on 10 meters
up 20 to 30 feet pointed at a very high tree. I Have a G5RV up 35 feet
and a Vertical and a Icom 751A (Thanks to W7VV Roger and Sue). I do have
a KT34A that's on the ground that I'm trying to get parts for. It is over
ten years old and has not seen much action on the Ham bands. I would love
to get it up and running before we go to North Cook in October for CQWW
SSB Contest with the group from Seattle and Canada for one week. If anyone
has a old KT34A with usable parts on it that they would like to see and
hear operating from both North and South Cook please contact me. I know
not many old and used KT34As are around but you never know your luck...
I am running on a single battery at the moment so if anyone hears me FMing,
let me know so I can save the rig. Yes, I know you may need the contact,
but I like to skip around to the new bands when possible to give the hams
a new one on 17 and 12 meters....... Regards, Victor, ZK1CG'. QSL ZK1CG to:
Victor Rivera, PO Box 618, Rarotonga Cook Islands.

SPECIAL NOTE FROM EDITOR: As of 2230z Thursday, March 29th, BARF-80 BBS
lost its ISP mailer until possibly April 2nd or 3rd. This is due to
a changeover of DSL ownership and equipment/hardware/cable (which will
not be available until then). This means your editor will probably lose
all of his mail sent between March 29th and April 2nd or 3rd. If you have
sent something for the OPDX, PLEASE send it again after April 3rd. Also,
OPDX's InterNet Subscriber will be receiving their bulletin one to two
days later than normal due to this changeover. I am very sorry for this
inconvenience. However, OPDX.505 will be available as usual at the K8YSE
OPDX Home Page. Provisions are being taken to have OPDX.505 uploaded to
the various DX Reflectors and UseNet groups...... Thanks de Tedd KB8NW

EU SPRINT 2001
In 1994 the EU Sprint Gang (I2UIY, OK2FD, DL6RAI, and G4BUO) organized the
first European Sprint contests. For 2001 there have been some rule changes,
introducing an awards programme and bringing the Spring Sprints forward in
the calendar. You can find past scores and other information about the
sprints by visiting the official EU Sprint web site at this address:
<http://loja.kkn.net/~i2uiy/>.
The BIG news is that now we will award a certificate to the winners in each
country but this is not all. Three nice plaques will be awarded for the top
three scores from all four contests combined. Therefore, please red circle
the four EU Sprint saturdays on your calendar, we will be looking for you
starting April 14!

exchange is copied incorrectly, that operator will receive zero (0) points.
In case of miscopied callsigns, both stations will receive zero (0) points
for that QSO.
SCORING: each valid QSO counts one 1 (one) point. The final score is the
total number of QSOs.
AWARDS: Colorful certificates will be issued to the winners of each Sprint,
and to the leaders in each country. A special plaque will also be awarded

SPECIAL NOTE FROM EDITOR: As of 2230z Thursday, March 29th, BARF-80 BBS
lost its ISP mailer until possibly April 2nd or 3rd. This is due to
a changeover of DSL ownership and equipment/hardware/cable (which will
not be available until then). This means your editor will probably lose
all of his mail sent between March 29th and April 2nd or 3rd. If you have
sent something for the OPDX, PLEASE send it again after April 3rd. Also,
OPDX's InterNet Subscriber will be receiving their bulletin one to two
days later than normal due to this changeover. I am very sorry for this
inconvenience. However, OPDX.505 will be available as usual at the K8YSE
OPDX Home Page. Provisions are being taken to have OPDX.505 uploaded to
the various DX Reflectors and UseNet groups...... Thanks de Tedd KB8NW

same phone line as BARF-80 BBS using a data/fax/phone switch. To access:
1) Dial Number. 2) Wait for first ring (the second ring should be a false
ring from the fax/data switch box) and then dial four quick ones ('1111').
(NOTE: Some FAX machines that send single 'BEEPS' every second will not
have to do this step.) 3) The phone will pick up and after the 'BEEP'
leave your voice message or FAX.

7X, ALGERIA. The 'LNDX' reports tha Yannick, F6FYD, will be here for the
next 2 months starting very soon (mi-March). There was no callsign
or bands of operation mentioned. However, Mohammad, 7X4AN, has been very
active lately on 10 and 15 meters, mostly SSB. Activity has been between
1700 and 2200z.
7Z, SAUDI ARABIA. Joe, W5FJG, is expected to be active about April 15th
from Jeddah as 7Z1AC. He will be working as a technician for the U.S.
Consulate and is expected to be here for two years. According to his Web
page, Joe works both CW/SSB, but will spend 60% of his operating on
SSB. He likes and probably will spend most of his time on 20 meters. He
will have equipment and antennas for 20/17/15/12/10 meters and expects
30/40/80 meters may come later. His operating time will be Saturday through
Wednesday after 1530z and on Thrusday and Friday (his weekend) anytime.
He does have equipment for the digital modes, so expect to possibly see
him on Packet/RTTY/SSTV. QSL via WA4JT. More details can be found on his
homepage: http://sites.netscape.net/joeyjeep99usa/homepage
Joe mentions on his Web page that the American Embassy in Riyadh has
received permission to restart amateur radio operations using the callsign

tickets to Asia for the period of early May through mid-August, 2001. He
plans to operate as HS0ZCW again and will apply for India (VU) and Laos
(XW) licenses. He states that it will be not likely for him to be active
as/from 9N7UD nor A52UD this trip.
EP, IRAN. Abdullah, EP2FM, is a nice find on RTTY on 20 meters after
0330z. You can catch him on SSB on 20 meters generally after 1430z and
again around 2000z.
EV21, BELARUS (Arctic Expedition, 'POLAR RING'). There is currently an
expedition going on in the Arctic and is being helped by the members of
the 'Activity Group of Belarus' (AGB). The expedition/operation started
February 1st in Minsks and will travel the southern part of the Arctic and
the Polar Area. The expedition will pass through Yama (R9K/), Taimyr (R0B),
Yakutia (R0Q) and Chukot (R0K). Currently, R0B/EV21ABG is now on from
Taimyr. Igor, EU1EU (AGB#001 - President of AGB), informs OPDX that there
is usually traffic being passed every Monday, Wednesday and Friday on 14120
kHz at 0500z. However, most of the information is in Russian. The operators
are Yuri (AGB#124) and Vladimir (AGB#123, Leader of expedition). There is
an award available for working this station. Some information can be found
on the club's Web page at: http://www.qsl.net/eu1eu
A special link for the English language can be found at:
http://www.qsl.net/eu1eu/EV21AGB_eng1.txt

Igor, EU1EU, at: eu1eu@qsl.net
Vladimir, EU1CQ, at: eu1cq@usa.net
FM, MARTINIQUE. Gerard, FM/F2JD, has closed down his station from here
and he will be back in France sometime this week. He made 11,200 QSOs
(6600 CW, 1000 RTTY, 3600 SSB).
H40, TEMOTU PROVINCE. Ron, ZL1AMO, now active as H40RW, has been very
active on 15 and 10 meters CW.
HK0, MALPELO ISLAND (Update). It has been reported that Jairo/HK5MQZ and
Hiro/HK5QGX will be embarking off to Buenaventura on April 6th arriving
on Malpelo Island April 8th in the late evening. They will disembark April
9th and expect to start operation April 10th until April 21st. They will
operate on all bands 80/40/30/20/17/15/12/10 and 6 meters. They will carry
a Hygain TH3-MK3 Tri-Bander and home brew 3 element monobands for 17 and
12 meters. For 80/40/30 meters they will use wire dipoles. The group
will also use a Yaesu FL-2100B linear amplifier and two HF transceivers:
One Icom model IC-706-MK2 and another Kenwood TS-430S. Jairo will be active
as HK5MQZ/0 only on SSB. QSL direct ONLY, via HK5MQZ (Jairo Vargas, P.O.
Box 10862, Cali, Colombia). Hiro will be active as HK5QGX/0 and will operate
on CW only. QSL his contacts via his QSL Manager JA0MGR (direct ONLY).
IOTA NEWS...............
EU-065. Didier, F5BWJ, will be active as TM2A from Noirmoutier Island
from March 31st to April 7th. QSL via F5BWJ.
EU-126. Lawrence, KB9YXM, reports that the Finnish Club station, OH8TA,
is planning an IOTA DXpedition to the Island of Hailuto in the
Gulf of Bothnia off of the Finnish coast near Oulu. They will
be operating for three days from the University of Oulu's marine
research station on the island. They will be operating on HF,
VHF and UHF. The frequency for 6 meters will be 50110 kHz. For
other bands and frequencies please send an E-mail message to:
oh8ta@oulu.fi
Operating conditions for 6 meters will be a Cushcraft 3 element
Yagi, Yaesu ATAS-100 with GP and counterpoise, Yaesu FT-100 at
100-500Watts. The Yagi and ATAS-100 will be mounted atop the
lighthouse station at 30-35 meters above sea-leval. The dates
will be April 6-8th. KB9YXM is a U.S. operator currently living
in Finland and very active on 50 Mhz and above. QSL to KB9YXM
will be 100% via OH8TA.
EU-174. Eddy/ON6HE, Dirk/ON5CT and Frank/ON4AAX will be active from
Thasos Island between May 27th and June 3rd. Their activity
will be on all HF bands, CW and SSB. They will try to have a
special callsign. QSL via the bureau or direct to ON4AAC:
Frank Pletinck, Potaardestraat 72, B-9190 Stekene, Belgium.
OC-087. Tom, K7ZZ, informs OPDX that plans for the expedition to Enewetak
(part of the Marshall Island group) on April 19-26th are going
smoothly. An antenna mast will be loaned from Force 12. Support
has been obtained from the makers of Mountain House freeze dried
foods. And a donation to cover part of their QSL expenses is
expected from the Island Radio Expedition Foundation. The only
real snag has been the failure of a second amplifier to material-
ize. The two Stateside team members will depart the West Coast
on about April 10th to join the rest of the team on Kwajalein.
From there they will fly on to Enewetak. Although only one
station will have an amplifier, two additional tranceivers will
be included. Antennas are a small tri-bander, a log for 10-6
meters, and a R-7000 vertical plus a wire dipole for the low
bands. Propogation predictions show a slim chance of a 10 meter
opening to Europe, but lots of chances on 15 meters. All other
areas should have lots of openings. The callsign V73E has been
issued/assigned. QSL cards go to WF5T.
SA-035. Dr. Rick, NE8Z/HC1MD, will be active as YV5/NE8Z from Los Roques
roughly between March 31st-April 2nd. He will be using a TS50 +
dipole mainly on 28.460 SSB. If propagation is poor on 10 meters,
he will operate on 21260 or 14260 kHz SSB. No CW this trip. QSL
via NE8Z: Rick Dorsch, Box 616, Hamburg, MI 48139 USA
JW, SVALBARD. Per, LA3FL, is currently active in his spare time from
Hopen Island (EU-063) as JW3FL. He is the only radio operator on this
little island with many polar bears. He will be here until June 2001.
He was recently heard on CW on 21025 kHz at 0915z and 1833 kHz between
0045 and 0330z. QSL via LA3FL.
PACIFIC TRIP 2001. Gerard, PA3AXU, has announced another DX trip into the
South Pacific. This time during September 2001, he will be heading to T30,
C21 and 3D (Fiji). He reports that like his last trips, this will not be
a holiday but work on the radio. He also hopes to give everyone a new one
on SSB/CW/RTTY/SSTV and/or PSK31. Gerard will start his activity on
Tarawa, West Kiribati, as T30XU, beginning September 4th. He will then
travel to Nauru and sign C21XU beginning September 11th. Gerard will end
his activity in Fiji signing as 3D2XU, from September 20-28th. For more
details and up-to-date information, check the Web site at:
http://www.qsl.net/pa3axu/2001
Gerard requests to please submit any comments/remarks/suggestions on his
2001 Pacific trip in the guestbook on his Web site.
QSL INFO AND NEWS.................
3D2CI Update. Hrane, YT1AD, in Belgrade, reports that the logs are going
to be on the Web site soon (they may be there!). They are currently
having problem recovering some QSOs from a damaged hard disk, but they
hope in a few days all will be consolidated into one log on the Web
site. There are some photos of the Conway Reef operation on the Web site.
Check them out at: http://www.kragujevac.co.yu/3d2/photos/photos.htm
Hrane is going to be at the Dayton HamVention with a 1 hour video of
Conway Reef.
LAST MINUTE CHANGE: The Hillview Gardens ARC (9M6AAC) was assigned
the special callsign 9M6A for this past weekend's CQWW WPX SSB Contest
with Peter G4MJS as the operator. Please QSL 9M6A via N2OO:
Bob Schenck, PO BOX 345, TUCKERTON, NJ 08087 USA.
Paul, A35RK, would like to remind everyone that the Kingdom of Tonga
(licensing authority - Tonga Communication Commission) has no national
amateur radio society, no radio club of any sort, and NO QSL BUREAU.
At present, it is a waste of time and money to send 'bureau' cards to
Tonga. Currently licensed A3 operators are certainly not receiving any
'bureau' cards, and therefore they are unable to reply. In his own
case, 'QSL A35RK via W7TSQ' is the only possible route. The postal
address for A35RK, in any database that he has seen is incorrect:
'via direct', using that incorrect information, will most certainly
result in a 'dead letter' and no response.
Gerard, F2VX, can confirm the contact made with A51AA ONLY for the
contacts made in September 2000, NOT for the new operator that was
newly autorized.
Charly, K4VUD (aka A52UD), reports that all direct mail requests for
A52UD QSLs have been answered to date. The bureau QSL will be done
next fall.
QSL CW6V, which was active in last weekend's contest, to W3HNK.
Yannick, F6FYD, informs us that all direct and bureau requests for his
operation as 5T5YD and 5T5YD/P are on the way.
HI9/DL7AFS and HI9/DJ7ZG QSL and Log. Babs, DL7AFS, informs OPDX that
as of the early morning of March 23rd, the duo have arrived back in
Germany. They thank the many for the interest in their Dxpedition.
They made 16340 QSOs and plan to begin printing the QSLs next week.
The log search is now available at: http://www.qsl.net/DL7AFS
L40F was active in the CQ WW WPX SSB Contest as a Multi/Multi category.
The LU4FM team was: LU1FAK, LU1FAM, LU1FGE, LU1FGZ, LU1FZR, LU2FT,
LU2FP, LU2JCW, LU3FCK, LU4FPZ, LU5FA, LU6FEC, LU8FCM, LU8FPT and LU8FQQ.
QSL Manager is LU4FM: Radio Club Rosario, Zeballos 811/817,
(2000) Rosario, Republica Argentina.
The Finnish Army Signals School is celebrating its 60th anniversary
this year with their station OI3AY that was activated during the CQ
WPX Contest. Also, Martti Laine, OH2BH, was one of the operators from
the OI3AY station during the contest. A special QSL card will be issued
for this special event. The QSL Manager is Teuvo Kaistila, OH1BV,
Ahventie 5B1, 25410 Suomusjarvi, FINLAND.
Alan, VK4AAR, announced that all QSL requests for VK0MM cards received
through March 20th have now been processed. There were some 'not-in-log'
replies sent out, but please be assured, that they were not sent out
without a thorough check. Alan states, 'My wife opened and checked the
incoming card against the computer log. If she found any sort of problem
she gave it to me to look for obvious typos etc etc.. If I could still
not resolve the situation I would E-mail Alan, VK0MM, who would then
search his own master log and get back to me. Therefore, it is useless
to contact me for further checks.... I have already done all that is
possible. Donations for Camp Quality (a charity supporting children who
are dying of cancer etc..) are coming in regularly though some still
expect a card when they don't even send reply postage and SAE. But a
donation will NOT 'buy' a card for a QSO that is not in the log. To
those who have not yet sent their card to me..... be warned .... DO NOT
PUT AUSTRALIAN STAMPS ON YOUR REPLY ENVELOPE. It is most likely that you
do not have the correct series of international stamps. Most are putting
the wrong amount on their SASEs, too. Let me do the stamps. Just send
SAE and USD or IRCs (dollars are preferred as the surplus can go to the
charity...IRCs only buy stamps). Those that have the wrong stamps on
will be mailed back to you but I don't guarantee if you will receive
them. Finally, and for the umpteenth time, **DO NOT** SEND REQUESTS FOR
VK0LD OR AX0LD CARDS TO ME. I HAVE NO AUTHORITY ON THOSE AT ALL !!!'
The Grupo DX Caracas which participated in the CQ WW WPX SSB Contest
this past weekend as YW4M gets QSLed via W4SO.
ZL4CC QSLs for the March 2001 operation. Bob, G3PJT, informs OPDX that
the correct direct QSL route for this operation is to Bob Whelan, G3PJT,
36 Green End, Comberton, Cambridge CB3 7DY UK. Bob states, 'Do not send
cards to any other address which may appear in old callbooks as the call
was reissued to me for this operation. Bureau cards are OK via G3PJT and
the RSGB QSL bureau. An E-mail log request is OK for a bureau card.'
Bob's E-mail address is: Bob_g3pjt@compuserve.com

as VO2/K2FRD from a tent. His QTH is about 90km WSW of Churchill Falls,
Labrador, Province of Newfoundland, Canada. His activity will be mainly
10, 15 and 20 meters in that order. Suggested frequencies are: 28415,
28515, 21315, 21415, 14215 and 14295 kHz. He does plan to be active on
some nets. For more details on bands, frequencies, schedules, QSL info,

SP DX CONTEST 2001
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Contest organizers: The PZK - Polski Zawiazek Krotkofalowcow
(Polish Amateur Radio Union) and the SP DX Club have the honour to
invite radio amateurs and SWLs all over the world to participate
in the SPDX Contest.
2. Date: Every year - the first full weekend of April (April 7 - 8 in
2001) from 15:00 UTC on Saturday to 15:00 UTC on Sunday.
3. Contest subject: To make the highest possible number of contacts
among Polish HAMs and non-polish HAMs. Remember: Polish
stations can work only other countries; stations from outside
Poland can work only Polish stations in the contest.
4. Bands: From 1,8 to 28 MHz (without WARC bands).
5. Modes: CW and/or SSB. It is possible to work the same station
twice a band but on different modes. No crossmode contacts. It is
necessary to observe IARU band plan during the contest.
6. Contest CQ: Foreign stations: 'CQ SP'; Polish stations: 'CQ
CONTEST' on SSB or 'CQ TEST' on CW.
7. Exchange numbers:
* Foreign stations send a five or six figure number consisting of
RST or RS report + serial number, for example 599001 on CW or
59001 on SSB.
* Polish stations give a two or three figure number representing
the RST or RS report + one letter denoting the WOJEWODZTWO
(province) abbreviation, for example 599G on CW or 59G on SSB.
* Possible abbreviations of Polish provinces (max. 16 on one
band): B, C, D, F, G, R, J, K, L, M, O, P, S, U, W, Z.
B=Lubuskie
C=Lodzkie
D=Dolnoslaskie
F=Pomorskie
G=Slaskie
J=Warminsko-Mazurskie
K=Podkarpackie
L=Lubelskie
M=Malopolskie
O=Podlaskie
P=Kujawsko-Pomorskie
R=Mazowieckie
S=Swietokrzyskie
U=Opolskie
W=Wielkopolskie
Z=Zachodniopomorskie
8. Points:
* Foreign stations: 3 points for each QSO with Polish station.
* Polish stations: DX QSO: 3 points; QSO with EU station: 1 point;
QSO with another SP station: 0 points.
9. Multiplier:
For foreign stations: each different WOJEWODZTWO (province)
denoted by the one letter abbreviation counts for one multiplier
(counted only once per band). The maximal multiplier is 16
provinces x 6 bands
For Polish stations: DXCC countries (counted only one time per
band)
10. Final score: The sum of QSO - points from all bands multiplied
by the sum of provinces from all bands (or from a band in Single
Band entries).
11. Categories:
* SO MB Mixed Mode,
* SO SB Mixed Mode,
* MO MB Mixed Mode,
* SO MB SSB,
* SO SB SSB,
* SWL's Mixed Mode,
* SO MB CW,
* SO SB CW.
** Note 1: Using DX nests, DXclusters will qualify a station for
Multi Operator category.
** Note 2: Club (MO MB) stations should notify all operators.
12. SWL stations:
* Foreign SWL must copy the call-sign of the Polish station and
its contest report and the call-sign of the foreign station
* Polish SWL must copy the foreign station call and contest report and
call-sign of the Polish station.
* Scoring is the same as for stations in transmitting section. The
same Polish station and foreign station can be listened only
once on the same band/mode.
13. Final scores:Score tables will be held separately for each
country and then for all categories for one country.
14. Awards: For first places in all categories. The number of awards
in one category is the thing of the Contest Committee decision.
Foreign winners can also receive special plates sponsored by
Polish HAMs.
15. Contest logs:
Logs must contain date, time in UTC, correspondent call,
exchanges, indicated multipliers and points. A summary sheet
should contain all scoring information: category, contestant's
name and adress and a signed declaration that all contest rules
and regulations for amateur radio in the country of operation have
been observed. Logs must be checked for duplicate contacts. A
multiplier check list should be enclosed. Log can be sent on a

16. Disqualification: Violation of the rules of the contest or taking
credit for incorrect or multipliers or duplicate contacts in
excess 3% of total made will be deemed as sufficient cause for
disqualification. The decisions of the SPDX Contest Committee are
final and not contestable.

1700 and 2200z.
7Z, SAUDI ARABIA. Joe, W5FJG, is expected to be active about April 15th
from Jeddah as 7Z1AC. He will be working as a technician for the U.S.
Consulate and is expected to be here for two years. According to his Web
page, Joe works both CW/SSB, but will spend 60% of his operating on
SSB. He likes and probably will spend most of his time on 20 meters. He
will have equipment and antennas for 20/17/15/12/10 meters and expects
30/40/80 meters may come later. His operating time will be Saturday through
Wednesday after 1530z and on Thrusday and Friday (his weekend) anytime.
He does have equipment for the digital modes, so expect to possibly see
him on Packet/RTTY/SSTV. QSL via WA4JT. More details can be found on his
homepage: http://sites.netscape.net/joeyjeep99usa/homepage
Joe mentions on his Web page that the American Embassy in Riyadh has
received permission to restart amateur radio operations using the callsign
7Z1AB. Look for them soon to be on the air.
9G, GHANA. Derek, 9G5MD, has been very active on 15/10 meters, generally
between 1200-1800z. Check around 28500 and 21250 (and above). QSL via

tickets to Asia for the period of early May through mid-August, 2001. He
plans to operate as HS0ZCW again and will apply for India (VU) and Laos
(XW) licenses. He states that it will be not likely for him to be active
as/from 9N7UD nor A52UD this trip.
EP, IRAN. Abdullah, EP2FM, is a nice find on RTTY on 20 meters after
0330z. You can catch him on SSB on 20 meters generally after 1430z and
again around 2000z.
EV21, BELARUS (Arctic Expedition, 'POLAR RING'). There is currently an
expedition going on in the Arctic and is being helped by the members of
the 'Activity Group of Belarus' (AGB). The expedition/operation started
February 1st in Minsks and will travel the southern part of the Arctic and
the Polar Area. The expedition will pass through Yama (R9K/), Taimyr (R0B),
Yakutia (R0Q) and Chukot (R0K). Currently, R0B/EV21ABG is now on from
Taimyr. Igor, EU1EU (AGB#001 - President of AGB), informs OPDX that there
is usually traffic being passed every Monday, Wednesday and Friday on 14120
kHz at 0500z. However, most of the information is in Russian. The operators
are Yuri (AGB#124) and Vladimir (AGB#123, Leader of expedition). There is
an award available for working this station. Some information can be found
on the club's Web page at: http://www.qsl.net/eu1eu
A special link for the English language can be found at:
http://www.qsl.net/eu1eu/EV21AGB_eng1.txt
In a week the group plans to be active from Yakutia and sign R0Q/EV21AGB.
Any questions/messages can be sent to either/or:
Igor, EU1EU, at: eu1eu@qsl.net
Vladimir, EU1CQ, at: eu1cq@usa.net
FM, MARTINIQUE. Gerard, FM/F2JD, has closed down his station from here
and he will be back in France sometime this week. He made 11,200 QSOs
(6600 CW, 1000 RTTY, 3600 SSB).
H40, TEMOTU PROVINCE. Ron, ZL1AMO, now active as H40RW, has been very
active on 15 and 10 meters CW.
HK0, MALPELO ISLAND (Update). It has been reported that Jairo/HK5MQZ and
Hiro/HK5QGX will be embarking off to Buenaventura on April 6th arriving
on Malpelo Island April 8th in the late evening. They will disembark April
9th and expect to start operation April 10th until April 21st. They will
operate on all bands 80/40/30/20/17/15/12/10 and 6 meters. They will carry
a Hygain TH3-MK3 Tri-Bander and home brew 3 element monobands for 17 and
12 meters. For 80/40/30 meters they will use wire dipoles. The group
will also use a Yaesu FL-2100B linear amplifier and two HF transceivers:
One Icom model IC-706-MK2 and another Kenwood TS-430S. Jairo will be active
as HK5MQZ/0 only on SSB. QSL direct ONLY, via HK5MQZ (Jairo Vargas, P.O.
Box 10862, Cali, Colombia). Hiro will be active as HK5QGX/0 and will operate
on CW only. QSL his contacts via his QSL Manager JA0MGR (direct ONLY).
IOTA NEWS...............
EU-065. Didier, F5BWJ, will be active as TM2A from Noirmoutier Island
from March 31st to April 7th. QSL via F5BWJ.
EU-126. Lawrence, KB9YXM, reports that the Finnish Club station, OH8TA,
is planning an IOTA DXpedition to the Island of Hailuto in the
Gulf of Bothnia off of the Finnish coast near Oulu. They will
be operating for three days from the University of Oulu's marine
research station on the island. They will be operating on HF,
VHF and UHF. The frequency for 6 meters will be 50110 kHz. For
other bands and frequencies please send an E-mail message to:
oh8ta@oulu.fi
Operating conditions for 6 meters will be a Cushcraft 3 element
Yagi, Yaesu ATAS-100 with GP and counterpoise, Yaesu FT-100 at
100-500Watts. The Yagi and ATAS-100 will be mounted atop the
lighthouse station at 30-35 meters above sea-leval. The dates
will be April 6-8th. KB9YXM is a U.S. operator currently living
in Finland and very active on 50 Mhz and above. QSL to KB9YXM
will be 100% via OH8TA.
EU-174. Eddy/ON6HE, Dirk/ON5CT and Frank/ON4AAX will be active from
Thasos Island between May 27th and June 3rd. Their activity
will be on all HF bands, CW and SSB. They will try to have a
special callsign. QSL via the bureau or direct to ON4AAC:
Frank Pletinck, Potaardestraat 72, B-9190 Stekene, Belgium.
OC-087. Tom, K7ZZ, informs OPDX that plans for the expedition to Enewetak
(part of the Marshall Island group) on April 19-26th are going
smoothly. An antenna mast will be loaned from Force 12. Support
has been obtained from the makers of Mountain House freeze dried
foods. And a donation to cover part of their QSL expenses is
expected from the Island Radio Expedition Foundation. The only
real snag has been the failure of a second amplifier to material-
ize. The two Stateside team members will depart the West Coast
on about April 10th to join the rest of the team on Kwajalein.
From there they will fly on to Enewetak. Although only one
station will have an amplifier, two additional tranceivers will
be included. Antennas are a small tri-bander, a log for 10-6
meters, and a R-7000 vertical plus a wire dipole for the low
bands. Propogation predictions show a slim chance of a 10 meter
opening to Europe, but lots of chances on 15 meters. All other
areas should have lots of openings. The callsign V73E has been
issued/assigned. QSL cards go to WF5T.
SA-035. Dr. Rick, NE8Z/HC1MD, will be active as YV5/NE8Z from Los Roques
roughly between March 31st-April 2nd. He will be using a TS50 +
dipole mainly on 28.460 SSB. If propagation is poor on 10 meters,
he will operate on 21260 or 14260 kHz SSB. No CW this trip. QSL
via NE8Z: Rick Dorsch, Box 616, Hamburg, MI 48139 USA
JW, SVALBARD. Per, LA3FL, is currently active in his spare time from
Hopen Island (EU-063) as JW3FL. He is the only radio operator on this
little island with many polar bears. He will be here until June 2001.
He was recently heard on CW on 21025 kHz at 0915z and 1833 kHz between
0045 and 0330z. QSL via LA3FL.
PACIFIC TRIP 2001. Gerard, PA3AXU, has announced another DX trip into the
South Pacific. This time during September 2001, he will be heading to T30,
C21 and 3D (Fiji). He reports that like his last trips, this will not be
a holiday but work on the radio. He also hopes to give everyone a new one
on SSB/CW/RTTY/SSTV and/or PSK31. Gerard will start his activity on
Tarawa, West Kiribati, as T30XU, beginning September 4th. He will then
travel to Nauru and sign C21XU beginning September 11th. Gerard will end
his activity in Fiji signing as 3D2XU, from September 20-28th. For more
details and up-to-date information, check the Web site at:
http://www.qsl.net/pa3axu/2001
Gerard requests to please submit any comments/remarks/suggestions on his
2001 Pacific trip in the guestbook on his Web site.
QSL INFO AND NEWS.................
3D2CI Update. Hrane, YT1AD, in Belgrade, reports that the logs are going
to be on the Web site soon (they may be there!). They are currently
having problem recovering some QSOs from a damaged hard disk, but they
hope in a few days all will be consolidated into one log on the Web
site. There are some photos of the Conway Reef operation on the Web site.
Check them out at: http://www.kragujevac.co.yu/3d2/photos/photos.htm
Hrane is going to be at the Dayton HamVention with a 1 hour video of
Conway Reef.
LAST MINUTE CHANGE: The Hillview Gardens ARC (9M6AAC) was assigned
the special callsign 9M6A for this past weekend's CQWW WPX SSB Contest
with Peter G4MJS as the operator. Please QSL 9M6A via N2OO:
Bob Schenck, PO BOX 345, TUCKERTON, NJ 08087 USA.
Paul, A35RK, would like to remind everyone that the Kingdom of Tonga
(licensing authority - Tonga Communication Commission) has no national
amateur radio society, no radio club of any sort, and NO QSL BUREAU.
At present, it is a waste of time and money to send 'bureau' cards to
Tonga. Currently licensed A3 operators are certainly not receiving any
'bureau' cards, and therefore they are unable to reply. In his own
case, 'QSL A35RK via W7TSQ' is the only possible route. The postal
address for A35RK, in any database that he has seen is incorrect:
'via direct', using that incorrect information, will most certainly
result in a 'dead letter' and no response.
Gerard, F2VX, can confirm the contact made with A51AA ONLY for the
contacts made in September 2000, NOT for the new operator that was
newly autorized.
Charly, K4VUD (aka A52UD), reports that all direct mail requests for
A52UD QSLs have been answered to date. The bureau QSL will be done
next fall.
QSL CW6V, which was active in last weekend's contest, to W3HNK.
Yannick, F6FYD, informs us that all direct and bureau requests for his
operation as 5T5YD and 5T5YD/P are on the way.
HI9/DL7AFS and HI9/DJ7ZG QSL and Log. Babs, DL7AFS, informs OPDX that
as of the early morning of March 23rd, the duo have arrived back in
Germany. They thank the many for the interest in their Dxpedition.
They made 16340 QSOs and plan to begin printing the QSLs next week.
The log search is now available at: http://www.qsl.net/DL7AFS
L40F was active in the CQ WW WPX SSB Contest as a Multi/Multi category.
The LU4FM team was: LU1FAK, LU1FAM, LU1FGE, LU1FGZ, LU1FZR, LU2FT,
LU2FP, LU2JCW, LU3FCK, LU4FPZ, LU5FA, LU6FEC, LU8FCM, LU8FPT and LU8FQQ.
QSL Manager is LU4FM: Radio Club Rosario, Zeballos 811/817,
(2000) Rosario, Republica Argentina.
The Finnish Army Signals School is celebrating its 60th anniversary
this year with their station OI3AY that was activated during the CQ
WPX Contest. Also, Martti Laine, OH2BH, was one of the operators from
the OI3AY station during the contest. A special QSL card will be issued
for this special event. The QSL Manager is Teuvo Kaistila, OH1BV,
Ahventie 5B1, 25410 Suomusjarvi, FINLAND.
Alan, VK4AAR, announced that all QSL requests for VK0MM cards received
through March 20th have now been processed. There were some 'not-in-log'
replies sent out, but please be assured, that they were not sent out
without a thorough check. Alan states, 'My wife opened and checked the
incoming card against the computer log. If she found any sort of problem
she gave it to me to look for obvious typos etc etc.. If I could still
not resolve the situation I would E-mail Alan, VK0MM, who would then
search his own master log and get back to me. Therefore, it is useless
to contact me for further checks.... I have already done all that is
possible. Donations for Camp Quality (a charity supporting children who
are dying of cancer etc..) are coming in regularly though some still
expect a card when they don't even send reply postage and SAE. But a
donation will NOT 'buy' a card for a QSO that is not in the log. To
those who have not yet sent their card to me..... be warned .... DO NOT
PUT AUSTRALIAN STAMPS ON YOUR REPLY ENVELOPE. It is most likely that you
do not have the correct series of international stamps. Most are putting
the wrong amount on their SASEs, too. Let me do the stamps. Just send
SAE and USD or IRCs (dollars are preferred as the surplus can go to the
charity...IRCs only buy stamps). Those that have the wrong stamps on
will be mailed back to you but I don't guarantee if you will receive
them. Finally, and for the umpteenth time, **DO NOT** SEND REQUESTS FOR
VK0LD OR AX0LD CARDS TO ME. I HAVE NO AUTHORITY ON THOSE AT ALL !!!'
The Grupo DX Caracas which participated in the CQ WW WPX SSB Contest
this past weekend as YW4M gets QSLed via W4SO.
ZL4CC QSLs for the March 2001 operation. Bob, G3PJT, informs OPDX that
the correct direct QSL route for this operation is to Bob Whelan, G3PJT,
36 Green End, Comberton, Cambridge CB3 7DY UK. Bob states, 'Do not send
cards to any other address which may appear in old callbooks as the call
was reissued to me for this operation. Bureau cards are OK via G3PJT and
the RSGB QSL bureau. An E-mail log request is OK for a bureau card.'
Bob's E-mail address is: Bob_g3pjt@compuserve.com

28515, 21315, 21415, 14215 and 14295 kHz. He does plan to be active on
some nets. For more details on bands, frequencies, schedules, QSL info,
etc...., check the Web page at: http://sites.netscape.net/thefred3/labr1

OPDX InterNet Subscribers will receive an additional bulletin (due to its
size) with a complete breakdown and 'DXCC/Entities Chart of Activity'.
3B6, AGALEGA (Update/Progress). Hans-Peter, HB9BXE, sent out a press
release (3B6RF Bulletin Nr. 13) this past week. OPDX InterNet Subscribers
will receive the large release as an additional bulletin. In short, the
press release states that preparations for this DXpedition is running
according to plan. On April 21st, three members of the team will head for
Mauritius in order to make final preparations on the spot. The rest of the
crew departs on April 28th, from Zurich. The 3B6 team plans to arrive on
Agalega on May 3rd and plans to be active May 5th for 12 days. There is
the possibility of chartering an aircraft for their trip from Mauritius
to Agalega, and they are still working on it. Using an aircraft will allow
them 2-3 additional operating days. The crew now consists of 20 operators:
HB9BQI/Rene, HB9BQW/Christine, HB9BXE/Hans-Peter, HB9CRV/Hermann, HB9HFN/
Cedric, HB9JAI/Karl, HB9JBI/Friedhelm, HB9AAQ/Fred, CT1AGF/Luis, CT1EVP/
Antonio, DL3KUD/Matthias, DL6UAA/Mart, F6HMJ/Jack, G3KHZ/Derek, NK6F/Ken,
N3SL/Steve, SP9RTI/Stefan, 3B8CF/Jacky and 4X1DX/Seth. YAESU of Germany
has lent them the following equipment: 6 Transceivers FT1000MP, 6 Linear
Amplifiers VL1000, 6 Power supplies, 2 Transceivers FT 847 and 1 Transceiver
FT 920. They will have a huge arsenal of antennas to use. The group will
have 4 Diesel generators 5.5 kW each. The satellite activity from Agalega
will be the first ever from this remote place. They will concentrate on
using the satellite AO-10, but, however, they will also use RS-12/13
sporadically. There will also be 6 meter activity and also PSK31 since it
is becoming more popular. PKS31 will be used alternately with RTTY. The
PSK31 frequencies to be used are: 14068.15 kHz +/- 1.2 kHz, 21078.15 kHz
+/- 1.2 kHz and 28078.15 kHz +/- 1.2 kHz. SSTV will also be used but for
only 3 days. Split operation is a must for SSTV. Their complete frequency
band plan can be found on the Web site at: http://www.Agalega2000.ch
QSLs can be sent via the bureau or directly to: Ambrosi Fluetsch, HB9AGH,
Lerchenweg 29, CH 8046 Zurich, Switzerland. For USA only via N3SL:
Steve & Kimberly Larson, 22 N. Hidden Acres Drive, Sioux City, Iowa 51108.

Larry Fields, 1207 E. Victoria Ct., San Pablo, CA 94806
FRENCH POLYNESIA OPERATION QRT (FO0/A & FO0/M Possibly Next!). Eli, HA9RE,
recently active from French Polynesia as FO0ARE between February 27th and
March 7th, was active from Tahiti Island (OC-046, Windward Islands Group)
between February 27-28th, and again from March 6-7th. The other place he
operated from was on Manihi (OC-131, King George Islands Group) between
March 1-5th. The QSL Manager is Kari, HA8IB. His current address is:
Szabo Karoly, Aradistr. 42., H-5525 Fuzesgyarmat, HUNGARY. QSL via the
bureau is also OK. Eli and his girlfriend Sara, HA9SD, have plans to go
back to the Pacific Ocean during the autumn, possibly to the Austral
Islands or to Marquesas.
GM7, SCOTLAND. Keith, GM4YXI, will be active during the CQ WPX SSB Contest
using the 'North of Scotland Contest Group's' callsign GM7V. His activity
will be a Single Op/Single Band (10m)/High Power entry. QSL as usual via
ZS5BBO.
H40, TEMOTU PROVINCE. Just a reminder that Ron, ZL1AMO, will be active
from beginning around March 21st for three week. This operation is a
special one because it will be his last DXpedition. We are sure many of
you have worked Ron from many rare places and have many of his QSL cards.
Ron is a very special, interesting DXer and person. Your editor is glad
he had a chance to meet him many years ago at a NODXA meeting. Please
show Ron thanks by working him from H40. He will probably sign H40RW or
something with the 'RW' suffix.
HB0, LIENCHTENSTEIN. A team of five French hams will be active from here
from Friday, March 23rd to Monday, March 26th. Activity will be on the
following bands: 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 meters. The team will use the
callsign HB0/F6KQL. They will also be active during the CQ WPX Contest.
QSL direct or throught the bureau to F6KQL: Radio Club MJC,
7 Rue de Longvic, 21300 Chenove, France.
HK0, MALPELO ISLANDS. Jairo, HK5MQZ, informs OPDX that he and Hiro, HK5QGX,
will leave for Malpelo Island on April 6th. They plan to operate from April
10-21st. They will sign as HK5MQZ/0 and HK5QGX/0. Activity will be on CW
and SSB, 80/40/30/20/17/15/12/10 meters. However, 160 and 6 meters will be
optional. Jairo, HK5MQZ/0, will work SSB. QSL via Jairo Vargas, P.O. Box

SSB/RTTY/SSTV. QSL via JI3DST.
AS-155. Bob, EA7FGS, on the IOTA Committee, informs OPDX that Lan-Yu
Island was given AS-155, and it is one of the islands in
'Taiwan's Coastal Islands'. BV9O was active from here during
the past weekend.
EU-065. Bernard/F9IE and Alain/F6BFH will be active as homecall/p from
Molene Island May 2-8th. Activity will be on the IOTA frequencies
SSB and CW. QSL to the bureau or via their home callsign.
IOTA OPERATION. Bill, VK4FW, has made plans to visit three Queensland State
IOTA groups within the next 2 months. He is expected to activate the North
Coast (Centre) Group OC-172, the Torres Strait Group OC-138 and North Coast
(North) Group OC-187. Bill expects to activate them one behind the other.
QSL will be direct only. He also expects many of you to work him from all
three locations, and if you do so, please include a minimum of 2 USD or 2
IRCs for cards. His callsign will be VK4FW/p. Bill will release more details
as soon as all is finalized.
OH, ALAND ISLAND (and IOTA Operation). Ric, DL2VFR, reports that in less
than one month he and Frank, DL2SWW, will be active from Aland Island
(OH0 EU-002) from April 14-20th and Vland Island (SM7 EU-037) from April
21-28th. Their activity will be on CW/SSB/RTTY. He requests to please use
the questionare on the following Web page to give them feedback (Where do
you need them?): http://www.iota-expedition.com
QSL INFO AND NEWS..................
3D2TC QSL ROUTE. Bob, W7TSQ, informs OPDX that people continue to send
QSL requests for contacts with 3D2TC to him. He reports, 'I do not know
of any reason that I should appear as a manager for this station, I am
not, never have been, have no logs and no cards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' The
only route is DIRECT to 3D2TC, Craig Thompson, Box 273 Suva, Fiji Islands
S. Pacific. As there is no effective bureau there, DIRECT is the only
way to go. Craig does QSL and has a nice QSL card. Bob, W7TSQ is,
however, QSL Manager for YB0AZ, YB3OSE, YB3ASQ, A35RK, A35SQ, 3D2RK,
3D2SQ, AH6PN/HR6, N7QXQ/HR6 and any W7TSQ operations ONLY!!!!!!!!!!
Alex, PA1AW, is the QSL Manager for 5A24PA. However, he is NOT the QSL
Manager for 5A1A or any other activities by Abubaker. He is only
expecting logs for 5A24PA only. Cards will be printed directly after
completion of this special activity and after receipt of the logs.
QSLs for 5A24PA go direct only to: Alex van Hengel, PA1AW, Schoener 85,
2991JK Barendrecht, The Netherlands. He is currently not committed to
any bureau QSLing.
QSLs for Richard, CX2AQ, can be sent to his QSL Manager EA5KB.
Fran, EA7FTR, informs OPDX that he is currently the QSL Manager for
the following stations: CX8BU, OX3CO, TG9RZ, UN7GCE, VK7KHZ, YB4JIM,
YC1VBH, ZP8AE and ZP8BHA.
NOT THE QSL MANAGER. Denny, GW3CDP, informs OPDX that he still continues
to receive QSL cards for EK4JJ/Serge and EK4GK/Alex for which he is NOT
the QSL Manager. The only route for EK4JJ and EK4GK is DIRECT. PLEASE
CHANGE YOUR DATABASES. Denny is, however, the QSL Manager for EY8XX and
EW6WR.
HK3JJH/HK0 QSLs. Apparently, Carl, N4AA, Editor of QRZ DX, has worked
a deal out with Pedro, HK3JJH, on QSLing for his 1999 operation. Cards
should be sent to N4AA with an SASE. Carl will send the QSO data to
Pedro by E-mail. Pedro will fill out the cards and send them to Carl
in batches, and Carl will put them in the SASE for return to the sender.
This might be a little slow, but cards will be answered without fear
of losing them in the Colombian mail system.
The log for the PW0S (St. Peter and St. Paul Rocks) is now available
on the Web page at: http://www.soutomaior.eti.br/mario
If there are any questions about QSOs not in the log or any other kind
of problem, please send a message to the QSL Manager KU9C at: ku9c@arrl.net
Mike, KQ0B, informs OPDX that anyone needing cards for Eli, PT7BZ,
and as PT7BZ/PY0F can either send them direct to Eli, via bureau to
PT7BZ or to Mike, KQ0B. Please note: Mike is awaiting Eli's latest log
entries which should be sent to him shortly. He has already received
the cards and will reply once he get Eli's log.
QSLs for XW3QBR, XW3ZNR, XU7AAY and XY7AAZ. Roger, N4ZC, informs OPDX
that IN3ZNR continues to be the correct QSL Manager for XW3QBR, XW3ZNR,
XU7AAY and XU7AAZ .....but, for those USA stations that have not sent
for their cards by now, or those wanting a faster reply, N4ZC has the
complete logs and blank cards for those N.A stations that want a cheaper
or faster way to get their cards. Those stations using U.S. postage may
send a normal SASE for their cards to N4ZC. If you have already sent your
cards to Italy, don't worry, all U.S. cards when answered will be sent
in a box from IN3ZNR to N4ZC and mailed from N4ZC's NC QTH. If you must
have a faster return for some reason, N4ZC can return N.A. cards within
a day to two. Those stations outside N.A. should continue to use only
IN3ZNR. They are working on answering cards at this time.
SPECIAL EVENT. Look for station TM0AR to be active during the 'International
Festival of Art and Technologies' from May 15-27th. Activity will be on
40/20/15/10 meters including the WARC bands. Reference DDFM - 72. QSL via
F5TJC: Jean-Louis Briere-Lecomte, 18 Le Petit Saint Louis, 72400 Cormes,
France.
TX8, NEW CALEDONIA (Update/Correction). Franck, FK8HC, informs OPDX that
FK8GM, FK8HW, LA5IIA and Franck will sign with the callsign TX8G (not
TX5G as reported last week) during the CQ WPX Contest as a Multi/Multi
entry.
VB6, CANADA (Attention Prefix Hunters!). Todd, VE5MX, informs OPDX that
he will be using the special callsign VB6A from VE6JY in the upcoming CQ
WPX SSB Contest. All QSLs go via VE5MX, bureau preferred.
VP6CW AND VP6BK QRT. Robert, KD7H, spoke with Tom, VP6TC, Tuesday night,
and he told him that Jacky/F2CW (VP6CW) and Kan/JA1BK (VP6BK) were on
Pitcairn for the entire length of their VP6 operation. They were not on
Ducie Island or any other island. The two operators are attempting to
get Pitcairn admitted into the IARU and 'then' perhaps Ducie will be a
separate counter (new entity). The two operators left the island and
might be active from other Pacific islands on their way home.
ZK1, NORTH AND SOUTH COOK ISLANDS. Victor Rivera, ZK1CG, on South Cook
is back on the air again after being off for 10 years. This is thanks to
Roger/W7VV and Sue for the very kind donation of an IC-751A and a G5RV
vertical. Victor will be operating on all bands from 160-10 meters. If
conditions are good he will change bands with you so you can work South
Cooks on all bands. He was spotted this past week on 20 meters (around
14200 kHz) between 0430-0700z. QSL only direct to: Victor Rivera, P.O.
Box 618, Rarotonga Cook Islands (or use the info on QRZ.com Web site).
Victor is clearing a back log of old QSLs from the past contacts he has
made. If you worked ZK1CG from South or North Cook Islands in the past
and did not receive a card, please send again. Also, look for Victor/ ZK1CG,
Tuatai/ZK1CY (ZK1MA) and members from the WWDXC Club Roger/W7VV (ZK1VVV),
Bob/W7TSQ (ZK1TSQ), and three others to be going to Manihiki, North Cook
for the CQWW SSB Contest this year in October for one week. They will
have 4, 5 and 7 element beams and will be active on 160-10 meters. On the
return from North Cook, all operators will be active from South Cook.
ADDED NOTE: Look for ZK1MA to be active from North Cook. Tuatai, ZK1CY,
is leaving South Cook and is heading back to Manihiki on the next boat.
Tuatai lives in Manihiki.

1000m coax cable, 4000 feet Dacron guying rope etc.
Satellite-Operating 3B6RF
Our satellite activity from Agalega will be the first ever from this remote
place. We will concentrate on using the satellite AO-10. Do not forget! This
satellite has got a problem with the batteries. Apart from our activity via
AO-10 we will also use RS-12/13 sporadically, which does not allow worldwide
operation. We are also looking for the daily progress with the new satellite
AO-40 and hope it may be possible to use it during our operation from
Agalega. Keep your fingers crossed! Please check the sat frequencies, the
status and the recommendations on the web side of AMSAT. We will publish all
the necessary news and data of our satellite activity (e.g. like the
timetable below) on our homepage in time to make sure that interested hams
can successfully make QSOs with 3B6RF. We will be using a 9ele-Yagi for
2m-downlink incl. a preamplifier and a 21ele-Yagi for 70cm uplink. The
transceiver is a Yaesu FT-847. Our downlink frequency will be 145.895 MHz,
+/- QRM. During heavy pile-ups we will operate split. Please listen to the
operator's instructions. Please send any information, hints and suggestions
before our departure to Agalega to Matthias, DL3KUD
(DL3KUD@QSL.NET <mailto:DL3KUD@QSL.NET>) and during our operation contact
our pilot stations.
6m operating
The 50MHz band really is a 'Magic Band'. Can you believe that on a dead
VHF-Band you can suddenly hear a DX station about 10000km away from you?
That's the 'Magic Band'. Now, we are at the solar maximum of cycle 23 and
worldwide contacts may be possible frequently via F2-Reflections and TEP
(Trans-Equatorial Propagation). We have a good opportunity to use F2 when
the solar flux index is >185 and the earth magnetic A=20 .. 30. Six-meter F2
contacts are generally possible only over paths entirely in daylight. Limited
experience with TEP indicates that it peaks between 1700 and 2200 local time.
TEP signals have a rough aurora-like note. So it is better to work slow CW
than SSB. High power and large antennas are not required to work TEP. Large
pile-ups will be inevitable from European areas. For TEP from 3B6 the antenna
will be directed to the north (360' +/- 45'). We will operate 3 different
modes on 6m: Memory Scan Mode, Beacon Mode and QSO-Mode. Always remember,
nobody can tell the duration of an opening. It can be a few minutes or
several hours.
PSK 31
PSK31 is becoming more and more popular. 3B6RF will also be QRV on this new
mode on 20m, 15m and 10m. PKS31 will be used alternately with RTTY. The
equipment for PSK31 will be:
Transceiver FT1000MP + Linear VL 1000
Antenna: Force 12 3 el. multi band beam
Computer Toshiba CX230, Pentium 133 MHz
Software WinPSK31 Version 2.02
Frequencies to be used are:
14068.15 kHz +/- 1.2 kHz
21078.15 kHz +/- 1.2 kHz
28078.15 kHz +/- 1.2 kHz
We will call CQ on the above mentioned frequencies. However, in order to
handle the pile up we will listen +/- 1.2 kHz. That will mean that you have
to shift the RX frequency on your sound card slightly. For instance; TX is
on 1500 Hz and RX 1350 Hz or vice versa. Contrary to the usual operating 3B6RF
will use the TX frequency as master in PSK31. This operating method will
also give a chance to the little pistols.
SSTV
We have decided to operate SSTV for 3 days. All involved stations have to
maintain discipline and good operating practice to guarantee success. Guess
what will happen if all stations start to send a picture at the same time!
The following rules will allow each station to copy a picture from 3B6RF and
to get the chance to send his personal picture with call sign etc. Split
operation is a must in SSTV too.
Example 1:
Agalega calls in phone CQ SSTV from 3B6RF. The answering stations reply with
the 2 last letters of their suffix. 3B6RF copies AX and answers 'AX' go
ahead
and send your picture. The length of the transmission should not exceed 40
seconds, containing call sign and report. Please don't send a full picture
because this will take too much time.
Example 2:
3B6RF transmits a picture of 40 seconds length with incorporated call sign
HB9EAX answers with his suffix AX. More details can be found on our home
page

Extensive propagation studies have been carried out which will allow us to
become aware of all possible openings. The outcome of these studies can be
found on our homepage www.Agalega2000.ch <http://www.Agalega2000.ch>. They show the times of band
openings. Gray line charts are also contained and show the small windows of
band openings on 40m, 80m and 160m. A special link connects to an excellent
propagation tool www.agtim.ch/Java/HFmapViewer/3b6.html
<http://www.agtim.ch/Java/HFmapViewer/3b6.html>. OM Andre HB9BIG
the author of these propagation maps.
Frequency plan
As far as possible we will stick to our frequency plan. That will be
maintained, as long as our TX frequency is as free from QRM as possible.
Modifications of our band plan will be published on our home page
www.Agalega2000.ch <http://www.Agalega2000.ch>. Stations who don't have an
Internet link please see our attached frequency plan.
Police men
We didn't elect so called BAPO's (band police man). Anyway they will become
active with their own justification and they will interfere with efficient
operating. In the worst case they will make operating impossible. In this
case 3B6RF will shift it's TX frequency. If, suddenly 3B6RF cannot be copied
any more please look 1 kHz (CW) or 2 kHz (SSB) up or down!!
Pilots
The following pilot stations are active for 3B6RF:
HB9DLE, Sigi, Europe and pilot coordinator:
hb9dle@uska.ch <mailto:hb9dle@uska.ch>
K6GNX, Bill, USA bavery@telemetry.com <mailto:bavery@telemetry.com>.
JA3LDH, Yasu, Japan: ja3ldh@tcct.zaq.ne.jp <mailto:ja3ldh@tcct.zaq.ne.jp>
PT7BI, Daniel, South America:
mdmassun@fortalnet.com.br <mailto:mdmassun@fortalnet.com.br>
These stations will handle all public relations and the feed back from the
HAM community world wide.
They will report to us, on how our expedition is being judged and suggest
what improvements we may be able to make. This input is very important to
us, because this will be our only feed back about signal strength, possible
band openings and other suggestions. Communications to and from our pilots
will be via Inmarsat satellite. The crew will read these inputs on our notice
board.
QSL
QSLs can be sent via the bureau or directly to:
Ambrosi Fluetsch, HB9AGH
Lerchenweg 29
CH 8046 Zurich
Switzerland
Or to HB9AGH via the QSL bureau
USA only via N3SL
Steve & Kimberly Larson
22 N. Hidden Acres Drive
Sioux City, Iowa 51108
Please include a self-addressed envelope in order to keep QSL'ing fees to a
minimum. Don't use airmail envelopes and don't mark your return envelope via
airmail. Surface mail to USA / Canada, Europe and Japan goes by air anyway !
QSL requests with insufficient or without IRC/$ will be answered via the
bureau. For instance SAE airmail with 1 IRC or 1$ will be sent via the
bureau. Please be aware of the fact that postal fees from Switzerland to
outside Europe for a 20 g letter (2 QSLs) requires 2 IRCs or 2$
Log search
During and after our expedition one can check whether and on which band your
call is contained in the 3B6RF log. Whenever possible the log will be
updated every 24 hours. Our logs will be forwarded via INMARSAT to our head
pilot Sigi HB9DLE. Afterwards, Markus, HB9ZFL transfers the log data to our
home page. It is our sincere hope that the DX community benefits from this
service and that it helps to prevent dupes. Please note that one minute via
INMARSAT costs us >6US$!!
Schedule
Saturday April 28th 2001 departure from Zurich to Mauritius
Tuesday May 1st 2001 departure by ship from Port Luis to Agalega
Thursday May 3rd 2001 arrival at Agalega
Saturday May 5th 2001 QRV for 12 days
Wednesday May 16th 2001 disassembly of the stations and the camp
Thursday May 17th 2001 departure by ship from Agalega to Port Luis
Friday May 18th 2001 arrival at Mauritius

There is the possibility of chartering an aircraft for our trip from
Mauritius to Agalega and we are still working on it. Using an aircraft will
allow us 2 - 3 additional operating days. Please check our home page
www.Agalega2000.ch <http://www.Agalega2000.ch>. for further developments.
See you in the pile ups. Best 73's
