Hello DXers:

Announcements come at odd times, so here are a few  items just in this 
afternoon that should be of interest to many of  you…….

6 METERS IN SENEGAL
Francois now reports: "6V7SIX: 6m band in  Senegal, it's a go!
As of March 1st, 2012, the Saly Amateur Radio Club  station (ADRASEC 
Senegal) will be allowed to operate with the callsign  *6V7SIX* on the 
band 50-51 MHz. This is a temporary authorization valid  until the new 
ITU Radio Regulations (WRC-12) come into force, normally by  the end of 
2012. A dual watch of 50.110 MHz (Intercontinental calling  frequency) 
and 50.210 MHz (French calling frequency) will be performed by  the 
Radio Club operators. Watch for the next opening on the Magic Band and  
call us!
Francois Normant, 6W7RT"

Joe, W8GEX released an  announcement this afternoon on his latest 
DXpedition plans.
"Joe, W8GEX  and Craig K9CT are pleased to announce they are planning 
another  DXpedition to a rare DX entity. Joe and Craig were the 
co-leaders of the  very successful PJ7E DXpedition on 10-10-10. Before 
that, they were part  of the team that re-activated Midway K4M in 2009.

This DXpedition will  be to Swains Island in September 2012. Swains 
ranks number 31 on the DX  Magazine Most Wanted Survey and number 30 on 
Club Log's Most Wanted list.  Because of the anticipated demand, a 
highly experienced team of 20  operators has been formed. The team will 
operate six stations over a 14  day period, from 160 to 6 meters on all 
modes, using the callsign NH8S.  Great emphasis will be put on Europe 
where it is most needed.

Team  members include AA4NN, DJ7JC, DL3DXX, I8NHJ, K5AB, K6MM, K6TD, 
K9CT, KH7Y,  N2TU, N6HC, NA6M, ND2T, NI6T, SM5AQD, W4BUW, W6KK, W8GEX, 
WB4JTT, and  WB9Z.

Swains is a privately owned island and the only way to get there  is 
from American Samoa via ship. The time frame of this operation may not  
be the best for the low bands, but dates are dictated by  
transportation and weather. The team of international operators will  
first gather in Honolulu and then travel to American Samoa together.  
Landing permission has been granted for the tent and generator  
operation by the owner for this timeframe.

Our website, (_http://www.nh8s.org/_ (http://www.nh8s.org/) ) developed by 
team member  John, 
K6MM, will provide updates as they become available. There are no  
communication systems on Swains, but logs will be uploaded daily via  
satellite phone. Later, the group will also have an OQSL link on the  
website for easy QSLing.

All equipment must be sent from the US via  cargo ship in June. 
Location, transportation, island costs, and other  logistics make this 
a costly trip. Therefore, donations are very much  appreciated. Details 
of how to donate to help defray our expenses are on  the website.

We want to thank ICOM, who will be supplying IC7600s for  our use. 
Thanks also to Joe, AA4NN, who will be the QSL manager, and to  Carl, 
N4AA of the DX Magazine who will sponsor the log  search.

73,
Carl,  N4AA
