9U5M QRT. Dennis, PA7FM, informed OPDX that Michael, PA5M, active as 9U5M,
went QRT on the evening of the 16th of March. He hasn't been as active as
he wanted to.....but the main reason being in Burundi was his work for the
World Food program of the UN. Over the past weekend Michael was in A6 but
will go to 9L Monday, March 22nd. Due to the very busy work there, he won't
apply for a licence this time. His next DX activity may be about 2 months
from now when he will go to some other place (not known yet). Meanwhile,
the complete 9U5M and YI/PA5M logs are online at: http://www.pa7fm.nl
QSLs should go to PA7FM: Dennis Robbemond, Loggerhof 11, 3181NS Rozenburg,
The Netherlands. Please remember that one USD is not enough to cover the
cost of mailing outside of Europe, and therefore, those QSLs will be
answered by the bureau.
CU, AZORES. Arlindo, CT1EGW, will be active as CT1EGW/CU2 from April
7-11th, from Sao Miguel (EU-003). During his free time he plans to

FO, CLIPPERTON ISLAND. It looks like the April DXpedition to Clipperton
Island has once again been postponed until 2005. Reports indicate that
weather may have played a factor in the decision, but the delay will
give the organizers time to gather more operators for the trip. If you

T33C -- BANABA AWARD. Alan, K6SRZ, sent out the following press release:
"The Banaba Award is meant to encourage stations Worldwide to make as many
contacts as possible with the T33C Expedition between 4 and 16 April 2004.
We would like to encourage all amateurs no matter how modest their
stations to contact us. We will be on all bands from 160m through to 6m
and all the main modes, CW, SB, RTTY, FM, PSK, and even SSTV. You can
find more about this DXpedition at our Web page:
http://www.dx-pedition.de/banaba2004/
The Banaba Trophy will be awarded to the station who makes the highest
number of band-mode contacts with us during our stay. To level the playing
field, only the following band-modes will apply. Contacts on other
band-modes will not count for the Trophy.
CW: 160m 6m (10 bands)
FM: 10m only
SSB: 160m 6m excluding 30m (9 bands)
RTTY: 40m, 20m, 15m and 10m (4 bands)
PSK: 20m, 15m and 10m (3 bands)
THERE ARE 27 POSSIBLE BAND-MODES THAT COUNT TOWARD THE TROPHY.
Should two or more stations have the same number of band slots, the Trophy
will be awarded to the station who made that total first. A Certificate
of Excellence will be awarded to the other stations who share the highest
total. The Trophy and Certificates of Excellence will be awarded FREE!
"BANABA CERTIFICATES OF MERIT"-- In parallel, we intend to operate an
Awards Scheme, where a very colourful Certificate can be obtained. The
rules are very simple: again try to make contact with us on as many of
the above band slots as possible:
THE BANABA BRONZE AWARD - Is for stations who make contact with us on
a minimum of 5 band/slots
THE BANABA SILVER AWARD - Is for stations who make contact with us on
a minimum of 10 band/slots
THE BANABA GOLD AWARD - Is for stations who make contact with us on
a minimum of 15 band/slots
We will issue one certificate per person, based on the highest number
of band-mode QSOs. For example, if you make 12 band-mode QSOs, you will
qualify for the Silver Award only (not both Bronze and Silver).
Certificates will cost 5 (USD) each plus 2 (USD) post and package.
Proceeds of the Certificates will go into the Expedition Fund.
Applications for the Certificates should be made to GM4FDM: Tom Wylie,
3 Kings Crescent, Elderslie, Renfrewshire, Scotland PA5 9AD. Please
include funds to cover the certificate and postage. Applications should
also include a QSO list for the specific Award. Should any QSOs be found
to be 'not in the log', these QSOs will NOT count for either a Certificate
or indeed the Trophy. When in doubt, check our on-line log and work us
again if necessary! We will not enter into any correspondence regarding
the Certificates and the decision of the Expedition members shall be
final. We're sorry, but we cannot accept E-mailed applications......
Thank You......" Alan Eshleman/K6SRZ for the T33C DXpedition
TJ3, CAMEROON. Roger/G3SXW and Nigel/G3TXF will be operating as TJ3G

frequencies will be: 3513, 7013, 10113, 14033, 18083, 21033, 24903 and
28033 kHz. [These frequencies are higher than usual in order to avoid any
conflict with 3B9C]. Although they will be using the same callsign TJ3G,
Roger/G3SXW will be operating the traditional HF bands while Nigel/G3TXF
will be looking after the WARC bands. QSL via G3TXF.
TJ3, CAMEROON (Possible New IOTA). Jack, F6BUM, announced he is going to
Cameroon April 2nd. His length of stay was not mentioned. Also, he is
thinking of activating Mondoleh Island while there from April 10-11th
between 0700-1600z. However, night operations from the island are not
possible because he can not stay on the island at night! Activity on CW
will take place on April 10th and SSB operations will be on the 11th.
Look for him to use the callsign TJ3MC. QSL via the address on QRZ.com.
YA8, AFGHANISTAN. Johnny, YA8G (LA5IIA), informed OPDX that he is now
active on all nine HF bands at the momen, and has put some effort in
working NA on 80m CW and 20m RTTY, both SP as well as LP. Johnny states,
"My noise level is still tremendously high, but sometimes I can copy
signals from EU, AS, NA and SA at the same time. I beg each and every
DX'er to respect when I'm calling certain areas." QSL cards are being
handled as soon as they are received by his manager, LA4YW. You will be
able to watch the QSL layout on Johnny's Web site, as well. Johnny also
mentions that the logs for YA8G are now updated 2-3 times a week at the
following Web site: http://www.qsl.net/la8g/YA8G.htm
ZD8, ASCENSION ISLAND. Ian, G8WVW, and his family are now new residents
of Ascension Island and will be there until the end of March 2006. He has
been allocated the callsign ZD8I and will be active using SSB on the bands

ADDED NOTE: Ian is expected to visit the Falkland Islands occasionally
(first trip - last two weeks in May), and do not be surprised if you hear
him as a VP8 (callsign not known yet). He will be active as QRP using a
FT-817 into a dipole.
ZK1, SOUTH COOK ISLANDS. Victor, ZK1CG (ZK1USA), from Rarotonga Island
(OC-013) in the South Cook Islands, will be active in the CQ WPX SSB
Contest as a All-Bands entry as ZK1CG. He informs OPDX that there are
only 2 active operators on ZK1 at the moment. Jim, ZK1JD, is the other
operator. Victor will see if he can get Jim, ZK1JD, to get on during
the contest to help out. Remember, Victor's shack is in his workshop,
so he may get called away at times for work during the contest.
ZL7, CHATHAM ISLANDS. Chris, ZL1CT (GM3WOJ), is planning to be active as
ZL7V, July 5-15th (Callsign and dates to be confirmed). Activity will be

and Pieter/ZR6PSR, two staff members of the Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy
Observatory Space Geodesy Programme, will conduct a scientific expedition
from Marion Island (AF-021) in April. The two operators are to depart on
April 1st from Cape Town, and depending on off loading of equipment and
other work load, amateur radio operations as ZS8MI will commence on April
7th until around the 30th. Plans are to operate CW/SSB. The following are
suggested frequencies from the below Web page:
SSB - 3750, 7080, 14195, 21295 and 28495 kHz
CW - 3505, 7010, 14020, 21025 and 28060 kHz

be slow, about 15 WPM. If you send anything faster than 15 WPM you
will be ingored!
They are expect to leave the island on May 2nd. QSL via ZS6M: Bernardus
