3Y0Z BOUVET PRESS RELEASE (dated August 6th, by Ralph, K0IR, Bouvet Island
DXpedition Co-leader). The 3Y0Z team is extremely grateful to the Northern
California DX Foundation for their $100,000 contribution to our Bouvet
Island DXpedition. We are honored and privileged to receive the largest
grant even given by NCDXF.
This contribution by the NCDXF mandates that we as a team, and each of
us as an individual, recognize the responsibility that accompanies the
level of trust placed in us. It demands the best of us, being on Bouvet
singly focused on the DX and amateur community worldwide -- nothing else.
We as a team accept that responsibility. We pledge to do our best =96 nothi=
ng
less. Our goal is to have your call in our log and get home safely =96
nothing more.
While we are light years from where we started this project, we still
have work to do and financial challenges to meet to get us to Bouvet,
give you those QSO=92s, and get home again. We thank the NCDXF and all
of you who have helped us financially and with your good wishes. You
have moved us well down the path to Bouvet and we would be honored by
your continued support. Together we will make this happen.
Thank you.... The Bouvet Island DXpedition Team

IRS AUCTION OF HARA ARENA (Old Dayton HamVention) TO TAKE PLACE ON
AUGUST 30th. See details at: =

OJ0, MARKET REEF (Press Release from Martti, OH2BH, dated August 9th).
[edited] RADIO ARCALA SALUTES JOE TAYLOR, K1JT, AND THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM
OF FT8 MODE ON HF PLUS ACTIVATE 4M MS FSK441 AND 60M....
MARKET REEF, OJ0BH/OJ0JR QRV: 12th=9619th August 2017 -- Tuning the poor
20m band month after month represents a major frustration nowadays.
Particularly on SSB, only the occasional DX signal breaks the sea of
noise, consequently reducing activity levels even further. However, that
very noise could be a new lease of life, if one were to copy signals below
it. They are there every day. Indeed, with their huge antennas and state-
of-the art receivers, DXers can dig even deeper into the noise and log
plenty of good DX faster than one can think.
Martti, OH2BH/OJ0BH, and Henri, OH3JR/OJ0JR, will attempt to land on
Market Reef this Saturday PM, weather permitting, and will immediately
break the noise floor by getting FT8 QSOs underway. They will also hand
out the OJ0 multiplier in the Worked All Europe DX Contest (WAEDC) and
appear on a variety of traditional modes in the event of any available
audible propagation. This is the week originally dedicated to a youth
expedition to Market Reef, and to releasing options for selected 2018
DXpeditions, involving both youth and seasoned DX groups.
Demonstrating Amateur Radio to today=92s youth thus sports a new booster
shot, raising their potential interest to new heights.
A beta release of WSJT-X, version 1.8.0-rc1, included a new FT8 mode,
featuring a faster turnaround, and it=92s already a major breakthrough on
the HF bands. FT8 offers =93sensitivity down to =9620 dB on the AWGN channe=
l,=94
and contacts 4 times faster than JT65 or JT9. An auto-sequencing feature
offers the option to respond automatically to the first decoded reply to
your CQ. <https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/Release_Notes_1.8.0.txt>
PACIFIC TOUR (5W & YJ, Update). Bert, CX3AN, will be signing 5W0HA from Upo=

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.

PIRATE ALERT. Ernie, ZB2FK, reports that someone has been pirating ZB2A
callsign which has been defunct for at least 40 years and is therefore
not a valid Gibraltar callsign.
PIRATE ALERT. 'DXNews.com' reports that JX2017A is a pirate station.
Probably same guy that operated with the JX2016A callsign before.
