[SJDXA] Peter and Paul Rocks DXpedition

[Bob Schenck N2OO]

Jun 30, 2012, Sao Paulo and Miami

 

The Araucaria DX Group, in conjunction with the TX3A Team, is pleased to
announce a DXpedition to St. Peter and St. Paul Rocks, PY0S, under the call
sign PT0S. The DXpedition will take place in the late November to mid
December, 2012 time frame. The actual dates will depend on weather
conditions and will be announced on the PT0S website, PT0S.com

T0S.com>  . 

 

There has been an official ban on Amateur Radio activities from PY0S.
Although the ban, which was created for environmental and safety reasons,
remains in place, the Araucaria DX Group was given a special permit by
Brazil's SECIRM (Secretaria da Comissao Interministerial para Os Recursos do
Mar), the Brazilian Navy, Ministry of Environment and LABRE to conduct a two
week long operation. 

 

The operation will have a strong low band focus. There will be a dedicated
160 meter station operating on 160 meters from sunset to sunrise. A second
station will be on 80 and 40 meters at night. During the day we will operate
two stations on the higher bands -- and 6 meters -- based on conditions.
RTTY will also be supported.

 

The DXpedition's goal is to give this rare and difficult entity to as many
amateurs as possible, taking maximum advantage of this unique opportunity.
The group will be using newly designed RX antennas and receiving equipment
to allow small and QRP stations to work PT0S on all bands, but especially on
80 and 160 meters. For operating procedures and advice on how to maximize
your chances of getting into the log, please visit PT0S.com

All QSO-s will be loaded onto LoTW within 36 hours of taking place.
