>3A, MONACO. Operators Gerry/IZ1DSH, Giovanni/IK1WEG and
>Riccardo/IZ1GDB
>will be active as 3A/IZ1DSH, 3A/IK1WEG and 3A/IZ1GDB from July
>16-18th.
>Activity will be on 40-10 meters CW/SSB. QSL to the operator's home
>callsign, direct or via the bureau.
>
>4U1, UNITED NATIONS HQ. Dmitri, N2OW, was once again active during the
>past weekend. This time he was active on RTTY (a rare catch!).
>Remember
>to QSL via HB9BOU.
>
>4X, ISRAEL. Aharon, 4X1FQ, has been active on 17 meters CW/SSB lately.
>Look for him as early as 2100z or as late as 0500z. QSL via AA4V.
>
>5A, LIBYA. Andy, DJ7IK, informs OPDX that there is a newly licensed
>operator in 5A-land. Start to look for Ali, 5A3A, a former operator
>of 5A1A, now operating with his own callsign.
>
>FO, FRENCH POLYNESIA (IOTA Op). Jean Michel, F6AJA, informs OPDX that
>Alain, FO5RH, is active from Tuamotu Islands (IOTA OC-066). If he can
>find a plane, he will try to go to Reao Island (IOTA OC-238). Also, he
>will try to be active from different islands in the Tuamotu
>archipelago
>group. He hopes to activate Pukapuka (OC-062) and maybe Napuka
>(OC-094).
>He will be on 80-6 meters, mostly on CW and also on 14260 kHz. There
>are
>no more details about the dates!
>
>FP, ST. PIERRE AND MIQUELON. Look for FP/VE7SV to be active from
>Miquelon
>Island (IOTA NA-032) between October 23rd to November 2nd, inclusive.
>This will include participation in the CQWW SSB Contest -- in the M2
>category. Operations will be on 160-6 meters including the WARC bands
>-- CW and SSB only at this point in the planning process. Additional
>modes may be added. Suggested frequencies are:
> CW - 1822, 3502, 7002, 10102, 14022, 18072, 21022, 24892, 28022 and

> SSB - 1842, 3795, 7052, 14195, 18145, 21295, 24945, 28495, and 50145
>The idea of an expedition to St. Pierre & Miquelon
>has been on the minds of Team Canada members Dale/VE7SV and
>Andy/VE7AHA
>since their return from the 2002 WRTC in Finland. From VE7-land, St.
>Pierre & Miquelon seems a good balance between its rarity for the
>worldwide
>ham community and the relative ease of transport and setup to deliver
>the operation. A 9-member team has now been selected, and all
>participants
>are members of the internationally well known British Columbia DX Club
>(BCDX). Team members include: Dale/VE7SV, Andy/VE7AHA, Jason/VE7AG,
>Lee/VE7CC, Steve/VE7CT, Dave/VE7VR, Paul/VA7NT, Dick/N7RO, Ramon/XE1KK
>and Paul/VE7AVV. Most team members bring tremendous experience from
>participation in previous DXpeditions on an international scale.
>Others,
>however, are newcomers who will get a taste of what drives the engine
>of
>success from the action side of the DXpedition radio. While the
>primary
>objective of the Team will be to achieve a high QSO total for the
>DXpedition, their parallel objective is to give FP/VE7SV to as many
>locations as possible. The team will have operational blocks of time
>set
>aside specifically for JA, VK, ZL and the Pacific -- as well as other
>areas where working FP as a new one is particularly challenging. In
>the
>remaining months of lead time till the Team departs the west coast,
>everyone is working on equipment planning and deployment preparation
>process. Major equipment sponsors for the DXpedition are being
>secured,
>but individual or Club donations would be gratefully received. Please
>check their Web site if you're interested in supporting the Team. Go
>to
>the Sponsor link. For complete details of the DXpedition, go to:
