An international team of twelve (12) experienced operators lead by
Hrane  Milosevic (YT1AD) and co-lead by David Collingham (K3LP) will
activate Swains  Island, April 3-16, 2007, using the callsign N8S.
Hrane and David have been  in direct contact with Larry Gandy (AH8LG)
to gain a clear understanding of  the island's requirements for
permission to operate.  The Swains Island  permission to operate was
confirmed via email from Larry Gandy on October 23,  2006.  Our team
has reached an agreement that meets the specified Swain  Island
requirements.

The N8S DXpedition team includes: YT1AD, K3LP,  K1LZ, N3KS, N6TQS,
RK3AD, RA3AUU, SV2BFN, UA3AB, RZ3AA, YZ7AA and  YZ1BX.

The team will depart to Swains Island on the morning of Monday,  April
2, 2007.  The boat ride from American Samoa will take  approximately 24
hours with the team arriving and setting up camps on  Tuesday, April 3,
2007.  The operation will begin late Tuesday, April 3,  2007 and will
end late Monday, April 16, 2007, providing 14 days of  active
operation.  There will be a CW Camp, SSB Camp and Digital/6 Meter  Camp
each supplied with three ICOM radios, ACOM amplifiers and  required
antennas.  The team will depart Swains Island around noon on  Tuesday,
April 17, 2007 and arrive back in American Samoa on the morning  of
Wednesday, April 18, 2007.

The QSL Manager and Web site information  will be provided at a later
date.  At this time, there is no plan for  daily on-line logging.  The
logs will be posted on-line after April 27,  2007.
