during the 7th Antarctic Activity Week (February 22-28th) from the Italian
Air Force Base "Mario De Bernardi" located at Pratica di Mare near Rome.
He states, "This is the greatest Italian military airport and the second
Base in Europe for largeness. It is a Center of several IAF units, amongst
which we cite the most important ones: Experimental Flight Unit (with 311th
Flight Group), 14th Flock (with 8th and 71st Flight Groups) and 15th CSAR
Flock (combat SAR). On the same IAF Base stands the National Center of
METEOROLOGY and AERONAUTICAL CLIMATOLOGY (CNMCA). The weather station of
Pratica di Mare is the main reference unit for the IAF Meteorological
service and for World-wide Meteorological Organization; and is therefore,
the site from where Meteorologists are studying and acquiring practice
to leave for Antarctica during the Italian Research expeditions at MZS
Station. Thanks to the General Staff of the IAF Gen. BA Daniele Tei, to
Col. Costante De Simone Commander of CNMCA and the Official Commanders
of Pratica di Mare AFB who granted permission and support. A group of
referenced Italian Hams representing WAP-Worldwide Antarctic Program
(www.waponline.it), will operate from inside the Base during the 7th AAW
using a special callsign II0METEO (WAP-190) just issued by the Ministry
of Communications. Operators will be: Carlo/IK2IWU, Gianni/I1HYW, Marcello/

activate MM0DGR/p from the Blawhorn Moss National Nature Reserve (GMFF-009)
on Saturday, 20th February, 2010. The portable station will be located
at the Langside Wood (southwest corner of the reserve, near small town
Blackridge); grid locator IO85CV, WAB NS86, EU Area SC32 (West Lothian),

http://www.srars.org/wff-reports/gmff-009.htm
Their equipment: Icom IC-706MKIIG with HLA-300 Plus (300W) HF Power
Amplifier. Antenna: 40m long multiband doublet fed with 450-ohm feeder
line, and mounted as an inverted "V" on a 15m high escalated fiberglass
pole. CG-5000 automatic antenna coupler will be mounted at the bottom of
the pole.
Participants of the ARRL International DX CW Contest will occupy all
CW and PSK frequencies on Saturday, 20th February, 2010. Therefore,
MM0DGR/p will adhere to the following frequencies ± QRM: 20m (SSB 14.244
MHz); 30m (BPSK63 10.142 MHz, CW 10.124 MHz); 40m (SSB 7.144 MHz). QSL

Blawhorn Moss National Nature Reserve (NNR) is the largest and least
disturbed lowland raised mire or bog in the Lothians. It is situated in
the hills northwest of Blackridge, west of Armadale. Peatland was once
common in Central Scotland but very little remains today with most bogs
being cut for peat, drained for farming or planted for forestry. This makes
remaining areas such as Blawhorn Moss very important. This expedition
is organized under the WFF award program. If you still don't know about
the WFF (World Flora and Fauna) award program, please have a look at the
Web page: htt://www.wff44.com

RADIO ARCALA NEWS (By Jarmo, OH2BN). "Radio Arcala, OH8X, reports great
interest and we have received many applications from younger contesters
to travel to 65 degrees North and contest under large frozen antennas at

conclusion is that hosting young amateurs at contest stations should be
promoted on a broader scale as part of the contesting landscape. The
2010 team will be welcomed to the city of Oulu by OH6KN and OH8NC.
< http://www.ouka.fi/english/index.asp >
Marius Hauki, LB3HC, will be heading a group of four and the team
