General information

   Editorial. Due to unforeseen Server/PC/LAN trouble, have the OZ50MHz DX
Bulletin #02-043 been delayed a few days. I'm sorry for the inconve-
nience. Kind regards Matt OZ6OM.

Japan, JA. Taka JR3TVH, writes; Hello OM, here is my this Friday trip

EU, AF,SA any other DX stations would be appreciated, let me know any
informations QSL eather via the buro the best, or SAE by QRZ.com by

Jamaica, 6Y. "Team Vertical" (they use Force-12 verticals set up, ty-
pically, a quarter wavelength from the edge of the ocean) heads back
to Jamaica November 16-26 including the CQWW CW. Operators include
K2KW, KE7X, N6BT, W6FOG, W6NS and W7CB. This time, they plan QRP sing-
le band efforts with these callsign: 6Y0A, 6Y1A, 6Y2A, 6Y4A, 6Y8A and
6Y9A. Outside the contest they will sign homecall stroke 6Y5, 160-6,
WARC and satellite, CW, SSB, RTTY and some PSK31. The W6NS/6Y5 break-
able beacon will be on 50101 fulltime. W6FOG/6Y5 will be on satelli-
tes AO-7, AO-27, AO-40, FO-20, FO-29 and UO-14. QSL all via WA4WTG
except U.S. satellite QSOs - send for those cards via AMSAT.
www.k2kw.com has more info. In a Dayton presentation after their first
operation a few years back, the guys showed how they take all their
antennas in hard plastic travel golf bags. (QSP de The Daily DX #204)

Grenada, J3. Look for Mike/K6MYC and Jimmy/W6JKV to operate from here
from October 31st through November 10th. They will have a very good
location for Europe and USA, and all direction from 40 degrees around
to 330 degrees. They should also have good antenna(s) and power. They
will probably only operate on 6 meters and hope to work everyone.
(QSP de OPDX Bulletin #584)

Grenada, J3. A note from Lance W7GJ. mentions, that J3/W6JKV Jimmy is
bringing a pair of long yagi and JT44 on the trip to J3! November 1-8.

Vatican, HV. Look for HV5PUL to be activated (on HF, 6 and 2 metres)
from the Pontificia Universita' Lateranense, Vatican City on 12-15 No-
vember to celebrate the opening of the 2002-03 academic year. (QSP de
425 DX News #599)

Canada, VE/VY. John GM4WJA, QSP's; Hello. Here is a e-mail I received
from Ray about his visit to VY0, he is very keen to work into Europe
on 6m. 73s. John GM4WJA.
I have made reservations to fly to Iqaluit (FP53) this Sunday (October
27). I plan to return Wednesday November 6, but this return date could
change. Unfortunately, the apartment will not be available until at
least October 29. So I do not expect to be QRV until October 30 or la-
ter. In fact, it is possible that the apartment may not be available
at all. I will send an e-mail to you when I arrive and keep you up to
date on my activities. I have reserved a room in a hotel until the
apartment is available. The VE8BY beacon is actually located in the
office building adjacent to the hotel. I have requested a hotel room
facing south, but as these rooms look over Frobisher Bay, they are more
desirable because of the nice view. Consequently, it is more difficult
to obtain a room facing south. While in the hotel, I may be able to
erect an indoor dipole for 6 meters. It is possible I can find some way
to erect an outdoor dipole, but it will be difficult. I can also mount
my 4 element beam for 2 meters in my hotel room. But the path towards
East will be blocked by the building. I will have to limit my opera-
tion in the hotel as 100 Watts on 6 meters to an indoor antenna will
certainly produce TVI! 73 Ray Perrin, VE3FN (FN25), VY0AAA (FP53)

Mauritania, 5T. Dave N3DB, writes; Hi, I came across 5T5SN's webpage on
qsl.net the other day and noticed he was planning to install a 6 meter
antenna. I sent Nicholas an email about it, and he sent me a nice reply
stating he just put up a "4 elements Yagi Beam on 6 Meters and only 10
Watts with an ICOM IC 575A. Will be on air in few days, just need to
work again on the antenna for a good SWR." Look for Nicholas on 50 MHz
this fall. 73/DX Dave N3DB.

Palau, T8. Tosy/JA6VZB and Seiji/JH6RTO will be active from Palau be-
tween November 19-27th. Tosy's main activity will be during the CQWW CW
Contest, while Seiji will concentrate on 6 meters. The callsigns are
T88JA (Op. JA6VZB) and T88FS (Op. JH6RTO). QSL via their home callsigns
in QRZ.com. (QSP de OPDX Bulletin #583)

dipole GF14 BS AS. active 24 Hr. LU1DMA/B 144.030 7W Yagi NW GF14 BS
