Here are a couple of items of interest to Topbanders from the latest
OPDX Bulletin. Also, we now have over 125 responses to the survey
so I am going to close the poll and will post the results Monday.
73, Bill W4ZV
3C0, ANNOBON ISLAND. A DXpedition is being planned for next May. The
URE (The IARU National Society) is coordinating through the URE EA DX.
The operation will use three complete stations (plus some other back-up
rigs) with linear amplifiers. The dates of activity will be from May
20-27th. Operators will be: EA3AOK, EA3BT, EA4BPJ, EA4BT, EA5AD, EA5GRC,
EA6BH, EA6WV, EA7BJ, EA7JB, DJ9ZB, EA4BQ/OH0XX, EA8AH/OH1RY and W9EVI.
QSL via EA4URE. Their budget has been calculated to be 45,000 U.S.
green stamps, so the team is looking for contributions. Two planes will
be loaded for transportation of operators and material to the island.
Any questions about this operation must be sent to: hf@ure.es. They plan
to have more information available via their WEB-site. The URL address
is: http://www.ure.es/3c0dx.html.
PIRATE ALERT! A station working as OH0/OZ1WF is a pirate. The real OZ1WF
has not been active on HF for years. OZ1WF has received a lot of direct
QSL for this operation and he will be sending the cards back. The slim
often operates on 80 and 160 meters.
