31/7 - 11/8 SWAZILAND; 3DAØSS and 3DAØ/hc
by GI4FUM (EI4DJ, 3DAØDJ), G4LDL, MØMVV, NC4MM and UT5EL
will be active from the station at the Hawane Resort.
The object of this activity is to provide a ham radio
station at an international scout camp near Manzini
between July 31st and August 11th. There are permanent
antennas on the site including a 60 ft. lattice steel
tower with HF beams for 20/15/10 m and the WARC bands.
There is a "Four Square" array of 40 m dipoles suspended
from the tower. Each team member will have their own
3DAØ callsign.
29/7 - 12/8 LESOTHO; 7P
K5LBU is once again making plans for another African trip,
this time to Lesotho.
30/8-July 2011 FRENCH POLYNESIA; FO
by F5PHW. Since he is there for work, his on air activities
will be limited, but he will try to operate as much as
possible. If he lives in a house, Phil intends to be active
on all HF bands from 80-10 meters mainly on CW and RTTY
(possibly some PSK31) with very little SSB using only
100 watts. His antennas from the house QTH will be:
80-40 m - Inverted V + HF6VX (GP), 30 m - HF6VX,
20-10 m - HF6VX + Spiderbeam (not sure). However, if he
lives in an apartment the antenna may only be the HF6VX.
QSL via F8BPN, by the Bureau or direct.
August SWAZILAND; 3DAØSS
Operators GI4FUM (EI4DJ, 3DAØDJ) and G4LDL will activate
the station 3DAØSS during the month of August. The object
of this activity is to provide a ham radio station at an
international scout camp near Manzini. Station 3DAØSS was
the first ham radio station to operate in the "Jamboree
on the Air" for the scouts of Swaziland in October 2008.
24/9 - 7/10 NETHERLANDS ANTILLES; PJ2/PA1FJ SA-006
from the Island of Curacao. QSL via his home callsign,
direct, by the Bureau or eQSL.
9/10 - 19/10 MIDWAY I.; K4M OC-030
After a seven-year hiatus, in late January 2009 the U.S.
Fish & Wildlife Service announced that they would once
again allow amateur radio operations from Midway Atoll
"on a trial basis". A multi national team of 19 operators
will be active for ten days. They will have 5-6 stations
active on 160-6 metres, with at least one station on 20 m
around the clock. Further information, including details
on how contribute to this expensive expedition, can be
found at http://www.midway2009.com/
19/10 - 17/11 AUSTRALIA; VK7ACG OC-006
from Tasmania by GØWFH. He will operate SSB on 160-10
metres, with a focus on the low bands. QSL via home call,
direct or bureau.
19/10 - 26/10 SABLE I.; NØTG/CYØ, WA4DAN/CYØ and AA4VK/CYØ NA-063
They plan to have three complete HF stations, with three
verticals, one "strategically placed" yagi and at least
one wire antenna, and to operate CW and SSB on 160-10
metres, with an emphasis on Asia. Twenty metres are likely
to provide most contacts, and they will try to have two
stations (CW and SSB) on that band at the same time.
QSL for all callsigns via N0TG. The website for the
expedition is at http://www.cy0dxpedition.com/
22/10 - 9/11 PAPUA NEW GUINEA; P2 OC-102, OC-231 and OC-205
G3KHZ (P29NI) has announced a new IOTA DXpedition from
the Tanga Islands (OC-102), the Green Islands (OC-231)
and the Woodlark Group (OC-205). He and other four
operators, CT1AGF, G3USR, G4EDG and SM6CVX) will operate
CW, SSB and RTTY on 160-15 metres, using new single band
vertical dipoles for 30-15 m and a ground plane for 40 m.
The announced schedule and callsigns are as follows:
OC-102 - Tanga Island; callsign P29VCX (via SM6CVX);
October 22-26th
OC-231 - Green Island; callsign P29VLR (via SM6CVX);
October 27-31st
OC-205 - Woodlark Island; callsign P29NI (via G3KHZ);
November 2-9th
Further information is expected in due course.
