OPDX received the following message from Bob, WB2YQH,
Editor of "The 599 DX Report": "After several weeks of considering all the
circumstances here at '59(9)', we have decided to retire from the DX bulletin
business. This was not an easy decision. We started this publication from
the ground up 7 years ago. It has grown to be the largest of the U.S. paid
subscription newsletters. Each issue was created with care and dedication to
deliver a full and complete issue. We have sold the subscription list for
all versions to Bernie McClenny, W3UR, Publisher of The Daily DX. Bernie's
journalistic style closely matches ours and we are certain he will provide
you with the same high quality newsletter each week. He has a solid DX
background to satisfy all your DX needs. This publication will be called
The Weekly DX and will be available in paper and PDF versions. He will
provide you with all the details next week. All your subscriber information
has been forwarded to him. Any renewals received here will be forwarded to
him as well. We are retaining the company name and the Flying Horse Callbook
business as The 59(9) DX Report - Callbook Distributor. We will continue to
offer the WARC Award and the current QSL Pipeline Directory. We have
enjoyed all your positive comments along the way. Thank you all for your
support. A special Thank You to my wife, the creator of the layout and all
the graphics, for being there every week to proofread the issue. Thanks for
staying with us, it's been a great ride."

Subject: PW0S
Date: Sat, 3 Mar 2001 14:37:14 EST
The PW0S DXpedition to St Peter and St Paul Rocks is now history. Here is a short summary of this incredible DXpedition. Stick with me on this - it's worth the trip.
"The Rocks" is actually the rim of a submerged volcano some 700 miles of the coast of Brazil in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The actual land mass is a small irregular broken volcanic reef. There is a reason for PY0S being number 26 on the DX Magazine 2000 "Most Needed" list. Under optimum conditions it is difficult to get to, difficult to land on, difficult to find a level area to set up a station, just plain difficult. The risk of damage to equipment and bodies is not insignificant. Check out the photos at the PW0S website -
Nevertheless a group of Brazilians, Jim PY7XC, Ciro PY7ZY, and Eli PT7BZ, started out from Recife on February 3 on the 49 foot motor/sailer "Old Smuggler," stopping off briefly at Fernando de Noronha for a rest and minor repairs. While there Andre, PY0FF, decided to join the group. They arrived at The Rocks on the morning of February 9, finding the sea much too rough to even consider landing. Imagine the frustration at arriving one of the rarest DX sites in the world with a boat full of equipment and being unable to land. Then imagine bobbing around in this small boat for three more days waiting for a break in the weather. At this point many (most? all?) of us would have said "To Hell With It" and headed for home. They didn't.
The seas subsided enough on the morning of Monday February 12 to attempt a landing, and they were able to get some equipment ashore and operating by 2100Z. The bad weather continued with high winds, lightning and rain, frequently interrupting operations. If you were searching and not finding them during these periods, now you know why. Because of the three day delay in landing, by Friday February 16 the group was already way overdue getting home to their families and jobs. Supplies were running out. The weather was such that they could safely get themselves and equipment off the Rocks, and the sensible decision was made to leave. Their bad luck continued as the boat encountered problems on the way home, and it was necessary for three operators to fly from Fernando de Noronha to Recife, further adding to the expense.
The final QSO count was around 7,800. Obviously the final tally is well below expectations, but still 7,800 contacts that would have not been made at all without incredible courage and devotion to our hobby. Many picked up an "all-time-new-one," the real objective of this operation. Others gained a rare country on a new band or mode. An effort was made to spend at least a little time on all bands, all modes, including RTTY. I have particular respect for the DX'ers who were not in the pileups so that others would have a better shot at a new one.
Many of us have carried or shipped our FT1000's and Alpha's down to a Caribbean island or walked into a well-equiped air-conditioned turnkey shack for a little fun in the sun and the thrill of being at the other end of the pile-up. Now picture the opposite end of that continuum - PW0S was a grass roots, low budget operation to one of the rarest and most difficult unihabitable pieces of rock in the world. Well-used equipment was scrounged together from many sources, laptops were borrowed, favors were called-in. The call signs of these four fellows may not have instant recognition, but to me they are what DX'ing is all about.
Because of the extreme adverse conditions, PW0S expenses ran well above expectations. If you worked them, please include with your QSL request to KU9C extra bucks in appreciation of what these guys did for you. If you would otherwise like to show your support for this type of operation, I am consolidating contributions and will forward to Brazil. You may also want to bring this story to the attention of your DX club - significant contributions will be recognized on the QSL card. 73 Bill W9VA / PY0ZFO
