 >3B8 - MAURITIUS
>Next week it's back to Mauritius for a holiday style DXpedition for
>HB9ARY, Paul, who will be on holiday there from July 9-25 as 3B8HC.
>He'll be using an FT450D and KPA500 testing his "new home-brew compact
>elevated delta-loop" on 80-30 meters, which he has a description
>posted at http://www.qrz.com/db/hb9ary.  Also he will use a "folding
>HexBeam" for 20, 17, 15, 12, 10 and 6 Meters.  Paul plans to try 80
>meters CW often "in order to determine how the antenna performs since
>the main objective was this band with the idea of using it again in
>January when the conditions are much better for EU and NA".  The
>antenna works well on 30 meters and he expects good results to the US,
>however he's still working on his CW, which he says "is not very
>good!"  QSL direct only via NI5DX.
>
>HC8 - GALAPAGOS ISLANDS
>HC1HC, Alfredo, plans to be QRV as HC1HC/HC8/qrp from the Galapagos
>Islands starting Monday July 6th through Wednesday July 8th.  He'll be

>for him on 14.003, 18.073 or 50.110.6 MHz.  QSL direct only to NE8Z.

>HS - THAILAND
>The Radio Amateur Society of Thailand (RAST) has once again gained
>special permission from NBTC for Thai Hams to use 50 MHz during the

>Multiple E2 and HS stations are expected to be QRV as can be seen on
>this document (in Thai)

>access to CY9 is granted in July and August and at this time the exact
>dates have not yet been "determined".  The team plans to be QRV on 1.8
>through 50 MHz on CW and SSB and possibly some RTTY.  Despite the time
>of year they will attempt operations on Topband.  The St. Paul Island
>DXpedition team are taking a survey as to which bands and modes DXers
>need CY9 at http://www.cy9dxpedition.com/need-survey.html.
