Lot,DJ7ZG, and Babs,DL7AFS, are going to hit the airwaves as TO7ZG from
St. Barthelemy (NA-146, DIFO FJ-001, WLOTA LH-0377) from Oct 6-20.
Operation will take place mainly in RTTY, PSK and SSB on 80m-10m.
As usual the QSLs will be sent very reliably via DL7AFS, direct or
via bureau. More information and a logsearch are available online at:
http://www.qsl.net/dl7afs
GJ - JERSEY, EU-013 / GU - GUERNSEY, EU-114
Kasimir,DL2SBY, will activate the channel islands as follows:
Oct 7-9: Jersey (EU-013) as MJ/DL2SBY

Activities will take place in SSB, CW and RTTY on 80m-10m. Kasimir will
also watch the DX cluster spots on 6m and 2m and if possible will be
QRV there as well. He uses following equipment TS-2000, FT-900AT,
Acom 1010, an HF9V Butternut antenna for HF and yagis for 6m/2m.
Kasimir is a fan of paper QSL cards and therefore confirms only direct
or via the DARC bureau.
OJ0 - MARKET REEF, EU-053
Pertti,OH2PM, and Ilmo,OH2BO, are planning an activity as OJ0B from
Market Reef (EU-053) mainly in CW on 160m-10m from Oct 2-11, if the

Contest. QSLs via OH2BH, bureau ok.

Enewetak atoll (OC-087) Oct 12-15 and Oct 20/21, applied call: V73QQ

maybe also in RTTY on all bands (except WARC). He will also join the
CQ WWDX SSB Contest as VP5I as single OP/single band (15m). Peppe will
use a K3 transceiver with an AL-1500 amplifier, a 3ele 153BA yagi,
a vertical on the beach and maybe also a 2ele Quad.
