[SJDXA] Pitcairn DXpedition

[Bob Schenck N2OO]

VP6T-PITCAIRN ISLAND - 20 January to 4 February, all 9 HF bands, 160-10

     In the new Most Wanted Survey from The DX Magazine, Pitcairn is ranked
# 41 World-Wide, # 26 in Europe, # 49 in Asia and # 86 for Eastern Time Zone
of NA.   It has not seen any large-scale operation for the past decade.

     After their successful operation from French Polynesia in February 2010
as TX4T, three of the four operators, joined by two new operators, are
pleased to announce a new major DXpedition to CQ Zone 32 and to the famous
and mythical Pitcairn Island in the heart of the Pacific Ocean.  This DX
operation has a target of over 30,000 QSO's. 

     With good propagation forecast for early 2012, efforts will be made to
give this extremely rare entity to deserving DXers on as many bands as
possible, but especially on the low bands. They plan to have three stations
active round-the-clock during nine full days on the island, and will make an
effort to focus on Europe and the US East Coast. Openings to Europe will be
short, and will pay special attention to sunrise and sunset times. 

     They ask for discipline and fair play by US West Coast operators, and
others, to give a chance to the propagation-challenged continents.

See ya' in the Pileups!
