3Y0X ---> According to the latest Status Report and Summary of the 3Y0X
DXpedition to Peter I (www.peterone.com), the team will fly from Punta Arenas
to King George Island on 2 February, and will board the "Chinook" and sail
for Peter I the same day. Arrival is scheduled for approximately 6 February
and the team will have 16 days at the island (weather will dictate when they
land and will influence their departure date). 3Y0X will have nine complete
ICOM Pro III / Alpha 99 HF stations plus multiple antennas. There will be two
operating sites separated by approximately 1000 feet to allow operation on
SSB and CW/digital on the same band at the same time. They also plan to be
QRV on 6m, 2m and 70cm EME. Logs, pictures and hopefully short video clips
will be available on-line. The QSL manager will be N2OO. Logs will uploaded
to LOTW in early 2007.
LICENSING NEWS FROM IRAQ ---> New arrangements have been made for a 6 months
temporary amateur radio licence. This licence is free and will be available
until a new protocol is signed between the Iraqi Amateur Radio Society and
the regulator INCMC. Contact Diya, YI1DZ (yi1irq@yahoo.com) or Laith, YI3SRA
(yi3sra@hotmail.com) for a licence application form or download it from
www.iraqi-ars.org. A copy of the applicant's home licence and a passport type
photograph should accompany the completed form. [TNX IARU Region 1 HF
Newsletter]
NA-178 ---> Numerous discussions have continued about the actual QRV location
and antennas to be used on South East Farallon Island (NA-178) [425DXN 762],
because of the many factors involved related to habitat sensitivity. Rick,
K6VVA says that he is tentatively looking at a possible QRV around either 1-3
February or the week of 13 February 2006, but everything is weather
dependent. Rick estimates a 75% CW and 25% SSB operation, and is looking for
an experienced second operator (ability to be ready to go with only 24 hours
notice is a must). Further information and updates are available at
http://www.k6vva.com/iota/na178/index.html
