Ed,
From a contesting standpoint the place having been activated recently
is not all bad. N6ZZ and I went to 3C back in 1996. It had not been
activated for some time and the pileups were horrendous - so bad they
kept our rates down. Good luck - sounds like a fun trip. Hope to work
you in the contest.

Thanks for all the replies! Wer are heading to Timor Leste (4W) from Oct 19 to
27 and including CQWW. So far the Government has been very accommodating with
license requests.
The down side is there has been a flurry of activity to this DXCC in the last
several months but when booking flights and such a long time in advance, it is
difficult to change destinations at the last minute. On the upside, there have
been several big name ops that have activated this DXCC in the last several
months so they should have some first hand experience to share.
