Somehow, there is talk that a
DXpedition is going to the Falkland Islands for 2M SSB. There
may be such an expedition, but I doubt it. Here is the
announcement that I have posted to Moon-Net and to MMMonVHF.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Arliss-W7XU, Holly-N0QJM, and Marshall-K5QE would like to
announce a DXpedition to the Falkland Islands(VP8). Arliss and
Marshall will be operating 2M EME from a farm outside Stanley,
courtesy of Neil-VP8AWU. Neil has agreed to host us while we
are there and we owe him a large debt of gratitude. Thanks
Neil.
We will arrive at VP8 on Saturday, the 14th of March, 2015 and
depart on Saturday, the 28th. We hope to be set up and
operating by Monday, March 16th. We will operate until March
26th and then we will tear down and fly out. Call signs are not
yet arranged.
Arliss and Marshall will be doing 2M EME whenever the moon is
up. Holly likes to do RTTY and she will be doing that on 20M
and 30M.
The airline tickets are purchased and paid for. We have a
reservation at a Bed & Breakfast in Stanley. At the current
time, we are rounding up all the gear and testing it out.
We will have Internet at the B&B, but we are not sure about
out at the farm. We will let you know on that later.
We certainly do hope that we can work you while we are in VP8.
So, get the ice off your antennas and listen up for us.
