KERGUELEN
---------
We keep getting requets like :" Pse only CW on Kerguelen, PSE only 20 m
RTTY from Kerguelen, please this, please that...". Here are some facts:
1/ It is not sure yet that any operation will take place from Kerguelen
2/ If it will, it probabaly will be a one night stand
3/ If so it likely will be low bands only (high bands dead at night).
4/ I doubt seriously there WOULD be any RTTY (too slow QSO rate), pro-
bably mostly if not exclusively CW.
Again: no official word yet from our boys on what will happen. Stay tuned.
The Marion Dufresne is now sailing to Kerguelen. The ETA (expected time
of arrival) is noon (17:00z) on Thursday, Jan 30th. Operations at TX0K
is still not sure. All will depend on the weather. They hope however to
set up two stations for low bands and some WARC operation.
