H44 - The Daily DX reports that Bernard, DL2GAC/H44MS is currently stuck
on Gizo (OC-149). The ship he was on developed a leak on the way
and his voyage to the Shortland Islands (OC-162) [425DXN 511] has
been interrupted. "At the moment Bernard doesn't know when he can
proceed, may even have to abandon the trip".
HP - Special prefix 3E500 (Three Echo Five Hundred) will be used by
amateur radio operators from Panama celebrating the 500th
anniversary of the discovery of the isthmus from 1 to 31 March. QSL
cards for this event will be handled by HP1RCP (Radio Club de

HS - This coming weekend the RAST/Thailand DX Group will conduct a
survey of Koh Tarutao (AS-126) for a full DXpedition to take place
in early April 2001. The special callsign E29AL and permission have
already been issued by the authorities. The survey will be led Cy
HS0GBI, assisted by E20NTS, E20RRW, HS4BPQ and HS6NDK. Whilst on
the Island they may get chance to do some test operating between
approximately 14.30 UTC on 24 February to 3 UTC on the 25th. This
will be mainly on +/- 14024 kHz using 5 watts QRP. The QSL
arrangements have not been finalised yet, but will be announced
later. The costs for the DX Pedition are too high for the group of
young DXers to bear completely themselves, and they would be most
appreciative of suggestions or offers of help in this respect. The
first time operation from AS-126 by HS9AL (Franco, I4LCK) suffered
from poor propagation conditions; it is proposed to set a a target
of 20,000 QSOs for the forthcoming E29AL operation. [TNX HS0/G3NOM]
