between March 15-23rd.
They plan to be active on 160-10 meters
with two stations on phone, one on CW and one on the Digital
modes (RTTY and PSK31). They plan to have four stations with ten
operators. Bill/NZ5N announced this past week that he will be
active on the satellites from Swan Island (Grid EK87), using
a FT-817 and an Arrow antenna.
Time permitting, Bill will also
try to make a few contacts before and after the expedition
from the Honduran mainland, EK55, EK65 and EK75. Weather
permitting, they may also try to give out EK76 from the boat
on the way to and from the island. QSL via HR2RCH: Radio Club

NA-194/
NA-205. Operators Cezar/VE3LYC and Ken/G3OCA will activate Finger Hill
Island (NA-194) and Paul Island (NA-205) in the Newfoundland
Province (Labrador) North and Centre Group, respectively,
between July 30th and August 4th. These island groups have only
been activated once, 14 and 13 years ago, respectively. Since
only 6-7% of the IOTA members have them confirmed, both groups
are on the most wanted list. Callsigns will be VE3LYC/VO2
(Cezar) and VO2/G3OCA (Ken). QSL via VE3LYC, direct or by the
bureau (G/GM/GW/GI stations can confirm via G3OCA).
OC-130. Maarten, PA3GZU, will be active as DU9/PA3GZU from Mindanao
Island (WLOTA LH-2803, WW Loc. PJ27UH) between April 12th
and May 12th. Activity will be mainly 20 meters (SSB - 14260
kHz and BPSK31 14070 kHz). Operations will be limited because
Maarten is on holiday. Most activity is expected during the
end of April and first week of May. QSL via his home callsign,
bureau is preferred.
