* Under the most recent DXCC Rule Change, Swains Island will count for
DXCC. *
* KH8SI will be on the air for at least 3 days on SSB and CW beginning
after *
* July 23. This first expedition to a new country will be limited
because of *
* the lack of transportation in American Samoa. 6 Operators will keep a
*
* station both on CW and SSB on open bands. The expected opening to
Europe *
* is SHORT and Europe WILL BE PRIORITY during that opening. *

*Kan JA1BK/KH6BK is the team leader. Uti KS6FO, Paul F6EXV/WH7S, John
K1ER,*
*Tets AH7C and John K8YSE are the operators on this FIRST EXPEDITION.*

* *
* The ASARA, American Samoa Amateur Radio Assoc, president AH8LG*
* represents Amateur Radio in Am Samoa and is pleased to help plan and *
* conduct this operation from Swains Island.*
* *

* Look for KH8SI on SSB and CW. Listen on 17 to 160 meters (and SPOT
US).*

* *
* This is a NEW DXCC Country so be considerate since everyone needs it.
We *
* would like to give ONE QSO to lots of stations rather than all bands
to a *
* few. Future expeditions, when the bands recover, can provide all the *
* other band modes.*

* *

* We will QRV KH8SI/MM on 14.195 for further information exchange, base
key *
* station is AH8LG, pilots are KH6BZF, JA2JSF and JH1BUO.*

* *

* QSL manager this time is via JA1BK since this is last new one
DXpedition.*
