* PLEASE NOTE: The report 'could' contain 'Pirate/SLIM' operations or
more likely a 'BUSTED CALLSIGN'. As always, you never know - 'Work
First Worry Later'.
3E, PANAMA (ILLW Op). Members of the Radio Club of Panama will activate
3E1L from the Miraflores Lighthouse (PAN 030) at the Miraflores Locks,
Panama Canal Pacific Entrance, during the 2016 International Lighthouse/
Lightship (ILLW) (August 20-21st). QSL via HP1RCP direct. NO Bureau or
eQSL.
3Y, BOUVET (Update). An international team of operators will be active
as 3Y0Z from Bouvet Island (AN-002) in early 2018. Operators mentioned
are Franz/DJ9ZB, Nodir/EY8MM, Jorge/HK1R, Ralph/K0IR, Bob/K4UEE, Craig/K9=
CT,
Erling/LA6VM, a second LA op (TBN), George/N4GRN, Arnie/N6HC, Jim/N9TK,
Jeff/NM1Y, Michael/PA5M, Andy/UA3AB, Neil/VA7DX, Steve/VE7CT, Glenn/W0GJ,
Gregg/W6IZT, Hal/W8HC and Jerry/WB9Z. Activity (TBA) will probably be on
160-10 meters on CW, SSB and RTTY. QSL Manager for the 3Y0Z DXpedition
will be Bob, N2OO. A Web page is now active at: www.bouvetdx.org
[Press Release #2 -- Bouvet DXpedition 2017-2018 -- dated August 11, 20=
16]
We are pleased to announce that our website <www.bouvetdx.org> is now
active. Now, you can see more about our plans to activate the #2 DXCC
'most wanted' entity. You will also meet the operating TEAM. You will
recognize most, if not all the call signs as these operators have given
out millions of DXpedition QSOs over the years.
We plan to be QRV on Bouvet on all available bands using the common
modes with the very best antennas, radios, and amplifiers. The duration
of our visit to 'the most remote island on Earth' may be as long as three
weeks, weather permitting of course. As with our many previous DXpedition=
s,
we expect to make tens of thousands of QSOs. That is our #1 goal, con-
sistent with the safety of the operating team.
Now that the website is up, we are officially beginning our fund-raisin=
g
program. As with our other DXpeditions, the operating team is committed
to provide one half (50%) of the DXpedition costs. We are asking DX foun-
dations, DX clubs, individual DXers and equipment vendors to provide the
remainder. We believe this arrangement is fair and equitable. As always,
you have the option of using PayPal, a credit card or a personal/club
check.
We appreciate you becoming our partner in very expensive under taking.
73, For the TEAM,

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.
