3Y, PETER I ISLAND (DXpedition Team 3Y0X Announces Major NCDXF Sponsorship Grant)
From Chicago, on September 18th, the 2005 Peter I (3Y0X) DXpedition Team announced that it has been awarded a major sponsorship grant by the Northern California DX Foundation, Inc. (NCDXF) [see NCDXF below]. The press release states, "A multinational team of twenty operators and one explorer, led by Antarctic DXpedition veterans Ralph Fedor, K0IR, and Bob Allphin, K4UEE, will activate Peter I Island between 14 January and 10 February, 2005. Other team members come from France, Norway, Russia, Switzerland, Finland, Australia, The Netherlands and the United States, and possess significant DXpedition and Antarctic experience. The Chilean registered vessel Antarctic Dream, and its dedicated helicopter, will be supporting the group for their entire journey.

'This DXpedition is funded principally by the contributions of its twenty-one members plus this very generous grant by the Northern California DX Foundation,' said Bob Allphin, K4UEE, co-leader of the DXpedition. However, because of the extraordinary cost of chartering the Antarctic Dream to travel safely to and from this remote location, additional assistance is still being sought from the world-wide DX community."

For further information on the Peter I DXpedition, and how to contribute to the success of this DXpedition, go to:

7X, ALGERIA (Update/Change in Callsign)
Luis, EA5KY, editor of El Mundo del DX in the Radioaficionados, official bulletin of the URE, informs OPDX that operators Angel/EA1QF, Pere/EA3CUU, Paco/EA4BT, Emilio/EA7AAW, Julio/EA7JB, Juan Lucas/EA7TL and Ramom/EB4EPJ will be active from here October 2-9th. Callsign will be 7W0AD, not 7X0AD as first announced. QTH QSL is via EA4URE.

AMSAT ELECTION
As a result of the 2004 AMSAT Board of Directors elections, Thomas Clark/W3IWI, Louis McFadin/W5DID and Paul Shuch/N6TX will serve on the Board for two years. The first alternate is Bruce/KK5DO and the second alternate is Stephen/W4EPI.

ANTARCTIC OPERATIONS (VP8, VP8/G and VP8/O)
Mike, GM0HCQ, who has operated from Antarctica since 1990 and works as a ship's Radio Officer onboard the BAS vessels, has informed OPDX of his forthcoming trip to the Antarctica onboard the British Antarctic Survey vessel RRS James Clark Ross. The vessel sails from the UK on September 22nd, and he will operate as GM0HCQ/MM for the trip to the Falkland Islands (VP8). His Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) is October 20th. From there Mike will then opearte as VP8CMH/MM while onboard the ship. All being well, Mike will also operate from the following bases:

1) Signy Base, South Orkney Islands. Callsign will be VP8SIG. The proposed dates are October 26-31st.

2) South Georgia. Callsign will be VP8SGK. The proposed dates are November 2-7th and November 18th.

3) Rothera Base, Adelaide Island. Callsign will be VP8ROT. The dates are December 7-12th.

All the dates are provisional and may well change for operational reasons. Operating from the bases also depends upon Mike's workload onboard the ship and the work that is being carried out at the base during the ship visit. Mike states, "I hope this year to be able to operate on CW from Signy as I will be taking my Ten-Tec Corsair with me. Normally I use the base equipment, but Signy does not have a CW facility." Mike advises OPDX that he will be publishing information regarding the operation from the bases nearer the time via his Web site at:

NCDXF ANNOUNCEMENT (Major Sponsorship Grants for 2005 DXpeditions)
The Northern California DX Foundation, Inc. (NCDXF) announced at the W9DXCC DX Convention (in Chicago, September 18th) that it has awarded major sponsorship grants, for the 2005 Kerguelen Islands (FT/X) and Peter I (3Y0X) DXpeditions. Together, these grants exceed $100,000, and represent the largest grants made in the history of the NCDXF. The NCDXF press release state: "Len Geraldi, K6ANP, NCDXF's President, noted that these awards are substantially larger than normal amounts provided by NCDXF in aid of major DXpeditions. 'These exceptional grants were awarded in light of the rarity of operations from these locations, the significant individual contributions being made by the participants themselves, as well as the very high cost of mounting DXpeditions to such remote locations,' said Geraldi. He called on the worldwide DX community to continue their support of NCDXF, thereby enabling such rare and challenging locations to be activated for the 'Deserving'."

"The Northern California DX Foundation was founded in 1972 to assist worthwhile amateur radio and scientific projects with funding and equipment. Although the words 'Northern California' still appear in its title, the activities of the Foundation are international in scope, rather than regional. In addition to providing financial aid to significant DXpeditions, the Foundation, in cooperation with the IARU, maintains a worldwide network of high-frequency radio beacons that help amateurs assess the current condition of the ionosphere. The entire system is designed, built and maintained by volunteers at no charge except for the actual cost of the hardware and related components."

"The Foundation is an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, and all contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law for U.S. taxpayers. The Foundation does not have a paid staff, and no Foundation officer, director or advisor receives a salary or compensation in any form from the Foundation." More information about the NCDXF can be found on its web site at:

OJ0, MARKET REEF
Just a reminder that members of the "World Wide Young Contesters" (WWYC) plan to activate Market Reef (EU-053) as OJ0YC between September 23rd and 26th. The team of operators include SM3WMV/Mike, OZ1AA/Thomas, KU5B/Colin and OH6GDX/Pat at the moment. The DXpedition's goal is to be a multiplier in the Scandinavian Activity SSB Contest (SAC) (September 25-26th), and to be on the air as a serious competing station too. They will also work a bit of RTTY during the contest the same weekend, but the main focus will be on the SAC SSB. Apart from HF, OH6GDX will mainly be focusing on working 2 meters (maybe also 70cm). Activity on 2m will be at least on the FSK441a, CW, SSB, FM modes. Mike promised to work some 6m QSOs too. QSL via OH6GDX: Patrik Willfor, Langviksgatan 24 B13, FI - 65100 Vasa, Finland.

QSL INFO AND NEWS
Alan Roocroft, VK4AAR, informs all OPDX readers that "all DXers should be aware that Australian postal rates increased by 10% starting 6th September. Please make allowances for this when enclosing reply postage. Also, it is not a good idea to attach Australian stamps to your SAE because 95% of DXers get the wrong series of stamps and the wrong value. Please let us do it ourselves. We know the system best and it is different to most countries." JUST A REMINDER! Alan is the QSL Manager for the following stations: 9V0A, 9V1DX, C21RH, KH2VM, P29RH, V63PD, VI0ANARE, VK0MM, VK6AN (OC-266), VK6BM (OC-234), VK6BSI (OC-243), VK6LI (OC-071), VK8AN, VK8AN/6 (OC-154), VK8AN/8 (OC-229), VK8AV/3 (OC-136), VK8DP, VK8MI (OC-173), VK8RH, VK8XC, VU3RSB, YJ8AA, ZK2JJ and ZK2PJ.

SI9, SWEDEN
During this past weekend, SI9AM was active from Utanede (Grid Locator JP82iw) during the 46th Scandinavian Activity Contest (CW), by SM3EAE, SM3FJF and probably some more SM3-operator. Look for SI9AM to be active again during the Scandinavian Activity Contest (SSB), September 25th, 1200z to September 26th, 1200z by DF6JC and DL1EJS, including some activity outside of the SAC. This is a great opportunity to become qualified for the SI9AM Award. For more information, look at:

SILENT KEY
The MCMARS reports: "Silent Key Captain Lee E Reisenweber, 57, K3RGD (VP2VE), passed away Saturday, February 21, 2004, at the San Juan VA Medical Center, San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The more contacts they make, the more money they will raise for the fund. They have people who are sponsoring them per 100 QSOs, so the more QSOs the better! They will be active for the full 48 hours and expect to make well in excess of 1,000 QSOs. A special QSL cards will be available, either direct or via the bureau to Owen, G4DFI.

TC2K4, TURKEY (Special Prefix Activity)
Last week we mentioned that Berkin, TA3J, will activate the special prefix/callsign TC2K4J from Antalya, in the memory of the unforgettable 40 Silent Keys of Turkish Radio Amateurs, between 0240z, September 24th and 0240z, November 2nd (See OPDX.676 for more details.).

All are invited to contact VA3RRT on Sunday, September 26th, between 1500-2300z. Listen on 7065 kHz +/- and 14200 kHz +/- (Also, 146.550 MHz and possibly 70cm).
