H44 - SOLOMON ISLANDS, OC-047
Bernhard,DL2GAC, will spend his holidays again on the Solomons and is
going to hit the airwaves as H44MS from Guadalcanal (OC-047). Listen
for him only in SSB mainly on 40m-80m between Jan 22 and Apr 19.
He also plans to activate Temotu (H40, OC-065) together with DK9FN and
DG1FK from Feb 6-19. More information about this activity will follow.
Bernhard confirms his QSL cards reliably after his return home direct
or via bureau.
HH - HAITI, NA-096
Phil,F4EGS, has joined the international forces and NGO's which are
working to help the survivors in Haiti after the earthquake. He is
staying at the Port-au-Prince airport area. In his luggage he has his
FT100 and a dipole and he may show up as HH/F4EGS from time to time.
If you can contact him send your QSLs direct or via bureau to F4EGS.
---
Amateur radio operators are asked to keep the frequencies 3720, 3977,
7045, 7265, 14265 and 14300 kHz clear for emergency traffic. The local
amateurs Jean-Robert Gaillard (HH2JR), his father John Henault (HH6JH)
and Pierre Petry (HH2/HB9AMO), who travelled to Haiti only in the
beginning of this year, are all doing well. You may listen to a phone
patch recording of HH2JR and W3ZU at: http://www.southgatearc.org
J7 - DOMINICA, NA-101
Gaynell,KK4WWW, is a missionary and will stay on Dominica (NA-101) from
Jan 20 until Feb 4. He will be active as J79WWW as much as he can
during his spare time. His QSL manager is N4USA.
JD1/MT - MINAMI TORISHIMA, OC-073
Masa,JD1BMM, will stay on Minami Torishima (Marcus Island, OC-073) from
Jan 20 until the mid of February. This could be the last activity from
this DXCC entity for some time because the radio station of the coast
guard has been closed in December and the amateur radio clubstation
shall be dismantled in February. QSLs for Masa via the JARL bureau.
PY0F - FERNANDO DE NORONHA, SA-003
Fred,PY2XB, will be QRV as PQ0F during the CQWW 160m Contest. He will
stay on Fernando de Noronha (SA-003) from Jan 23 until Feb 3 and will
be active as PY2XB/PY0F in CW, SSB, RTTY and PSK on all bands before
and after the contest. QSLs for both calls direct or via buro to PT7WA.
SV/A - MOUNT ATHOS
For many years the prefix "SY" was standing exclusively for the DXCC
entity Mount Athos in Greece. This has been changed to "SV/A" later
but for many HAMs the SY prefix is still connected to Mt Athos though
every Greek amateur may apply for a SY prefix now. This is a thorn in
the side of the only radio amateur on the Holy mountain, Monk Apollo,
SV2ASP/A. He asks DXers from all over the world to send an e-mail to
the Greek licensing authority ([email protected]) asking to stop this
practice. At the moment Monk Apollo is very active in RTTY because this
mode is silent and does not disturb other monks. He prefers working in
RTTY on 1838-1840, 3580, 7038 and 10140 kHz around 1700-2100 UTC.
However his call has been abused by a pirate on Jan 12, 2010.
T32 - EASTERN KIRIBATI, OC-024
Don,G3BJ, is staying on Christmas Island (OC-024) from Jan 20-26 and
will be active as T32BJ mainly in CW. He will try to contact Europe
especially on the lowbands. QSL via his homecall.
V3 - BELIZE
Gerd,DJ4KW (V31YN), and Gisela,DK9GG (V31GW), are travelling to Belize
again from Jan 21 until Feb 28. They will be QRV in SSB, CW and RTTY on
160m-10m and want to join several contests held during this time. They
will also activate NA-180 as V31YN/p from Feb 2-7. Their equipment
includes an ICOM 756 with 100 watts, a 36m long vertical for 160m,
a 41m long sloper for 80m and a 10m long vertical for the other bands.
Gerd and Gisela prefer QSLs via LoTW, but via bureau to their homecalls
