PCARS Members,

Al Hernandez – K3VN, one of our own members, left Saturday to participate in this DXpedition to Banaba, an island in the Pacific.  At some point in time, I think when they return to Fiji he will operate using his own Fiji call, 3D2VN.  Watch for spots for them on the DX Summit or with your favorite DX Spotting tool.  There is more info at the links below.

73,

T33    - The  5-18   November  T33A  DXpedition  to  Banaba   [425DXN  1169,

         www.t33a.com] will use an e-Pilot. It looks at the  T33A  blog  and

         collects comments and requests for the team that would normally  be

         emailed to  one  of several  pilots: click on the  "e-Pilot Request

         Page" tab on http://banaba2013.wordpress.com/

         The advance party will arrive in Tarawa on  31  October to pick  up

         local provisions,  get  the  container through customs and load the

         supplies onto the boat in preparation for the 3 November  departure

         to  Banaba.  Team  members  include  AA4FL,  AD6E,  DJ5IW,  DL5EBE,

         DL6KVA, K3VN, K4ZLE, KD6XH, N1EMC, N6HC, N6HD, N7CQQ, N9NS,  PY2PT,

         W2IJ, W6KK, WA1F, WA1S and WA6FGV.

         "We  have coordinated  our band plan with N8A/5W8A", the team says.

         "There are also other DXpeditions that will be on at the same time,

         so band plans may be dynamic...".

         Target frequencies for T33A are as follows:

         5-7 November                     8-18 November

         T33A will use the  advanced  version  of DXA, the  satellite-linked

         system  that allows DXers to  view the status  and activities of  a

         DXpedition in near-real-time (http://dxa2.org/t33a/). Logsearch and

         OQRS for  direct  and bureau  cards  on Club Log;  traditional  QSL

         requests  go via W2IJ.  The  T33A  logs  will  be  posted  to  LoTW

         approximately  6 months  after  the  conclusion  of the DXpedition.
