"SO MUCH ACTIVITY NO - ROOM TO REPORT ALL OF IT!..... de Tedd KB8NW"
TIP OF THE WEEK:
When sending regular messages, turn OFF your "HTML" format
in your mail programs and use plain text. This will save
a lot of bandwidth. Using "HTML" usually makes the message
twice as big and copies itself twice in one message!

3B6RF THE AGALEGA DXPEDITION (Update)
As this was being written, the
3B6RF team is heading to Agalega and plans to arrive around May 2nd or
3rd. The team will start operating 10 or 12 hours after landing and stay
active until the 16th or 17th of May. From a press release by Steve, N3SL,
the advance team for 3B6RF had been on 3B8 for a week where they obtained
the license and landing permit, and purchased the perishable supplies and
arranged final transportation. The remaining crew should have been in
3B8-land by Saturday, April 28th. Their flight arrangements now calls for
travel to 3B6 via S7, and they expect to be on the air by May 3rd, and to
begin the tear down process on May 16th. They will not begin operations
until all 6 stations are assembled, which includes the massive array of
antennas. Once they start, they will be on all bands, 160-6 plus satellite,
and all modes (CW, SSB, RTTY/PSK, FM, and SSTV). Their team of 21 members,
many of whom gave you 3B7, is giving concentrated effort to North America,
with extra attention to the low bands. Unfortunately, they do not share
common darkness past the Midwest, so pray hard to the 160 gods! There may
be times they have 2 or even 3 stations on 160 simultaneously if conditions
warrant. They fully expect to finish with 100,000+ QSOs, approximately
65,000 on CW and at least 2,500 on RTTY/PSK. The digital modes will
commence on day 1, but with times limited to 1 hour/continent until
the CW pile-ups are worked down a bit. Then more effort will be placed
on digital. PSK31 will be a bit unique, as they are using software capable
of decoding multiple signals simultaneously. They will listen both up and
down 1+ kHz, allowing them to work someone "up 1" while already decoding
the next station "down 1" and vice versa, keeping the rates as high as
possible. Standard DX frequencies will be used, and they will always
work split. The entire band plan is spelled out on their web page. A color
QSL is planned, so QSLing will not begin for some time after the expedition
is over. North American (Canada, U.S., and Mexico) QSLs go via
Kimberly Larson, the daughter of N3SL, at N3SL's CBA: 22 N Hidden Acres
Drive, Sioux City, IA, 51108. All other QSLs via HB9AGH. As usual, the
bureau will be used for cards received via the bureau or without sufficient
return postage. Their web page gratefully acknowledges all of their sponsors
and contributors to date. Each team member has put forth a minimum of
6000 USD toward this effort, but with the change in travel plans via S7,
significant, unexpected expenses have been incurred, and further
assistance/donations will be greatly appreciated. Information and feedback
during the expedition should be sent via their American pilot station:
Bill Avery, K6GNX, at " bavery@telemetry.com ". They especially want
feedback from the western half of the U.S., where 3B6 is needed most.
Online logs will be updated daily during the expedition. For more info and
daily news, check out the 3B6RF Web page at:

permission from government's Ministry of Defence. He states
that a few years ago, a North Korean submarine was wrecked
and captured near where they were going to operate. After
that, the military's HQ has been sensitive to island landing,
especially overnight stays. Also, they do not understand
about ham radio and IOTAs! They will try to find another way.

QSL INFO AND NEWS
IMPORTANT NOTICE. Carl, N4AA, editor of QRZ DX and QSL Manager for
Pedro, HK3JJH/HK0, reports that he has just learned that the FCC made
an error in his zip code when they processed a change of address several
months ago and he never noticed their mistake. The post office brought
this to his attention when all the mail started coming in for HK3JJH/HK0.
Please help and spread the word that the correct address for N4AA is:
Carl Smith, PO Box 249, Leicester, NC 28748-0249
Mac, W3HC, has informed OPDX that he is now the QSL Manager for EP3SP.
Gil, F5NOD, reports that Eric, F5SIH (ex-FO0BOG), states that the QSL cards are printed, and the first package of QSL should be in the mail as of this past weekend.
FR/T QSL STATUS. Gil, F5NOD, reports that 1000 QSLs are still in the
hands of Larry F5PYI, (QSL receieved in August/September). Larry is
back at home and they will mail them very soon. They have sent about
8000 QSLs out, but they are still working on the QSLing and there is
about 1000 QSL cards yet to go. Gil states the following:
- "PLEASE, Do not resend QSL request !! (save your green stamps)
- I WILL INFORM YOU WHEN ALL QSL WILL BE SENT !! AFTER THAT YOU CAN
RESEND REQUESTS .. FOR LOST MAIL etc... ...
- We will start Bureau QSLing after all direct QSLs are sent
- DO NOT SEND ME (or to Erwann F6JJX) E-mail "Did you received my
QSL ?" We really don't know!
- DON'T FORGET to put with your request , postage contribution and
SAE (SELF ADRESSED Envelop) many of you forgot the SAE!!! ... Also
don't forget to write your country on the SAE!! Many of you forgot
it too ... That's the major reason for lost mail."
QSL K5K STATUS. The 425 DX News reports that Tom, N4XP, is processing and mailing QSLs daily. He started six weeks ago, but the queue was over 30,000, so it will take a while.
R2/DK8LV STATUS. Stephan, DK8LV, reports that all cards received have not been answered yet. The reason for this is that after his stay in Kaliningrad last year, friends in UA2-land ordered the QSL cards by UA3AA in Moscow. He received the package with the cards last December, but they were all printed with the wrong callsign (R2/DL8LV!). So, Stephan had to order new cards again, but they have not arrived yet - shipment date was February 22nd (!!). He states that he will wait until the end of April, and if the cards are not received by then, he will look for a new printer. Stephan will answer all cards as soon as they are ready from the printer.
QSLs for TA0/IT9YRE/p and TA0/IT9WDY/p go to IT9YRE either direct (Ferdinando Rubino, P.O. Box 30, 96012 Avola - SR, Italy) or through the ARI bureau.
The team of operators that were active from Enewetak as V73E are back on Kwajalein as this bulletin was being prepared. They made about 18,000 QSOs. QSL via WF5T. A Web site has been set up for this operation at:
Bill, K6KM, reports that all direct QSLs for VK9NOO and VK9NNN have been answered. No bureau cards have been received yet. He mentions that about 5% of the cards had the wrong date. NONE had time off by more than five minutes. Bill states, "Apparently many ops don't know that U. S. postage to almost anywhere is now 80 cents. Many cards had 60 cent stamps. Correct U. S. postage is best, 1 USD is almost as good, IRCs are a pain but they work (only 1 required). Envelopes with peel-off stickies are GREAT! Thanks to those who sent them!"
Bob Schenck, N2OO/9M6OO/V85OO, announced the formation of "The QSL Manager's Society". This will be a web based "organization" that will act as a "point of contact" for quality QSL managers, and for DXpeditions or DX stations looking for one. It will also provide a central source of information useful to any QSL manager. Please visit the web page at:
SAD NOTE
Bob Schenck, N2OO/9M6OO/V85OO, sadly reported this week the
passing of H.G. Hassan, V85HG (aka V8HG). Hassan was always a strong
and steady voice for Ham Radio in Brunei. He will be sorely missed. Bob
mentions that a nice photo of Hassan can be found on the Buckmaster
callsign server at the web site:
