3 months, but his activity is sporadic (sign FT5XT/MM). QSL via F4DXW.
HK0, SAN ANDRES AND PROVIDENCIA (Update). Martin, LU9EFO, will be active
as HK0/LU9EFO from San Andres Island (NA-033) between November 11-17th.
It was announced this past week that Faber, HK6F, will now be joining

the bottom 25 kHz of 80m. This will be a good chance to get HS on 80m,
but you have to look for ZIA all hours in the contest, not just the last
hour. QSL via LoTW only.

REALTIME BAND CONDITIONS WEB SITE <www.bandconditions.com>:
The purpose of this experimental Web site is to provide 24-7-365 actual
(REALTIME) band condition information to CW QRPp, QRPe and CW/SSB for
Contesters interested in increasing their scores. It can also be of
benefit to other Radio Amateurs to determine band conditions for Nets
and casual QSO's. This information is NOT based on any software pre-
dictions or any kind of satellite based readings. It is based on a
new Ionospheric sounding method called 'HF Ionospheric Interferometry'
which operates very similarly to the PolSAR system used by NASA.
PU0R/PY0R, FERNANDO DE NORONHA ISLANDS. Operators Renner/PY7RP and Marenga/
PU0FDN will be active as PY0R/PY7RP and PU0R/PU0FDN from Atol das Rocas
(SA-038) between November 15-21st. This is a rare IOTA DXpedition, and
also valid for DXCC for ARRL awards as PY0F. The last operation was in
1992, and it is now in 3rd place in the most wanted IOTA groups in SA.
The actual dates are only estimated since the operation depends on sea
conditions. Operations will *NOT* be full-time due to other activities
during their stay. As the demand is pretty high, their efforts will be
to provide the 1st QSO to as many stations as they can. To achieve that,
they will focus on 40m, 20m and 15m, and only one QSO with each station
will be confirmed by a QSL card. Clublog.org will manage the OQRS as soon
as the DXpedition finishes, and the 'Leadership score board' feature will
not be available for the same reason above. Due to electrical power limit-
ations, they will run low power (100w) from an IC7000 and mono-band
verticals over the salt-water. Due to high costs involved, donations
are much appreciated. QSL via direct or OQRS/Clublog (No Bureau cards).

VK9WA WILLIS ISLAND DXPEDITION NEWS (Update/Reminder). Next weekend an
international team will activate an amateur radio DXpedition station VK9WA
from Willis Islets between November 14-23rd. The on-air operations will
last 10 days with high power CW, SSB, and RTTY on 160-10 meters (possibly
6 meters). Their primary focus will be providing all time new contacts
with this highly demanded, rarely activated entity with an emphasis on
difficult paths - primarily US East Coast, Europe, and Africa.
It was reported on November 4th: 'Rob, N7QT, and some of the other
Pacific Northwest group will be departing for Australia on Friday after-
noon. All of the group is excited about the trip. They have corrected
problems on the 160m antenna that Rob used while on E51.'
QSL via N7SMI, direct or by the Bureau. ClubLog OQRS direct or bureau
is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. QSL cards are beautiful full-color photographic
quality. QSLing priority is listed on their Web page. Club Log OQRS will
be available shortly after the conclusion of the DXpedition. All QSOs
will be uploaded to LoTW and eQSL shortly after the operation.
Complete details can be found on their Web page <vk9wa.com>.
A fourth VK9WA Insiders Newsletter was released on November 6th. This
edition of the newsletter also contains the VK9WA story of how this trip
came to be, operation updates, tips on how to get in their log, and their
anticipated operating frequencies (exclusive to VK9WA Insiders - they will
not be publishing frequencies publicly). As a VK9WA Insider/Donor, you
also get priority QSL status. They will upload your QSOs to LoTW as soon
as possible after the operation. You will also receive a complimentary
QSL card as soon as they are received from the printer. There is no need
for you to send them your card or request one via OQRS.
Here are the URL addresses for all of their VK9WA newsletters:

Association (NCDXA) 2016 'RST' special event! Also, look for KL7RST,
VY1RST and VE8RST to be on-the-air then! ADDED NOTES: Members of the NCDXA
will be active in February and March 2016 from several different locations
in Alaska, Yukon and Northwest Territories to further promote Amateur
Radio up north. (This may just be a first for the north-a joint-venture of
KL7, VY1 and VE8 special event.) Activity will be all modes, 160-6 meters
and WARC bands are permissible. SWLs are welcome to participate. The object
is to work or log (SWL) as many NCDXA =93RST=94 stations as you can from th=
eir
different locations. Work/log each =93RST=94 station only once per their
QTH/band and mode. Watch the DX spots as they plan to have stations on
from Whitehorse, Yellowknife, Anchorage, Fairbanks, and many other cities
(maybe an Alaskan glacier or two!). QSL Manager for KL7RST, VY1RST, VE8RST
and VY0RST is K7ICE. Optional full color certificates are also available
(E-mail <[email protected]> for details) for working/hearing any of
the =93RST=94 stations. SPECIAL EVENT DATES: February 15th (0000z) through
