JX, JAN MAYEN (2011 Op/Operators Needed). Stan, SQ8X, announced that a
team of 8-9 individuals (5-6 hams) are planning to visit the Island of
Jan Mayen between July 4-14th, 2011. This will not only be a DXpedition,
but the team will have an unique opportunity to climb "Beerenberg" - an
active stratovolcano (2275m) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beerenberg>
as well as a chance to visit many interesting sites on the island. The
team will depart from the Island of Iceland by a 60 ft. comfortable yacht.
Sailing to the Island of Jan Mayen takes approx. 2-3 days depending on
sea conditions. The team will spend 6-7 days on the island depending
of WX. They will have 2-3 stations on the air utilizing rather smaller
transceivers like IC-706, (maybe 756 PRO III) and verticals (or one
multi-band beam + verticals). Stan states, "Since we will be there
during summer time, and due to the location over 70°N, we will probably
not be able to operate on 160-40 meters as bands will probably be use-
less at that time. 30m may be open, but it can be tough due to auroral
influences/pressure up there. The best openings may occur on 20-15 meters.
If we have higher SSN, 12-10 may be workable, too. Keep in mind that if
any stronger geomagnetic disturbances occur, all bands will be totally
D.E.A.D." A generator will be used and possibly small amps, but it all
depends on their budget. The island is still very rare on CW and RTTY,
and especially outside of Europe. So one station will be on CW and RTTY,
while the other is on SSB. The team can be split into 2 teams: one
operates while the other one visits the island and then swap. Stan
mentions, "Climbing the volcano is quite challenging. Getting to the
top of the volcano takes 10-12 hours. The rest of the places to see
are easy to access and not that challenging. But the volcano is the
best attraction to see!" If interested in joing the team, E-mail Stan
for more details at: stan.sq8x@gmail.com
KH0, MARIANA ISLANDS. Yoshi, JE2EHP, informs OPDX that he will be active
as K1HP/KH0 from Saipan (OC-086) between March 21-25th. Activity will

to home callsign JE2EHP.
