HEARD ISLAND 2013 ---> Chris  Dimitrijevic  (VK3FY)  and  Steve  Chamberlain
(VK6IR, Co-Leader) are in the "preliminary, but serious" planning stages  to
put Heard Island back on air in February 2013. It  is  proposed  to  have  a
13-member DXpedition team on the island for two weeks.  Costs  are  expected
to be in the order of $USD 500,000. Once the key preliminary steps (i.e.  to
get a permit to land and to charter  a  suitable  ship)  are  completed,  or
satisfactorily progressed, they will apply for "at least one  callsign"  and
an internet website will be set up to keep everyone informed. [TNX DX World]

JARVIS ISLAND 2011 ---> The DXpedition to Jarvis Island organized  by  Radio
Expeditions Inc [425DXN 991] has been postponed until November 2011.
During the first half of 2010 the US Fish &  Wildlife  Service  developed  a
draft "Compatibility Determination  for  Amateur  Radio  Operations  at  the
Jarvis Island National Wildlife Refuge".  This document contains  the  rules
and constraints for DXpeditions at Jarvis, and  was  made  available  on  21
June 2010 for public comments to arrive not later than 5 July.
The FWS Honolulu office staff  reviewed  the  comments,  made  a  number  of
changes, and submitted a final draft for approval at their  regional  office
in Portland, Oregon. The final version was released on 28 July  and  revised
applications for a permit were accepted until 25 August. The constraints  in
the Compatibility Determination required a radical  restructuring  of  Radio
Expedition Inc's plans, reducing both the number of stations  and  the  time
on the air.
Since more than one amateur radio group submitted an application  which  met
the requirements of the compatibility determination,  a  lottery  among  the
qualified groups was held at the FWS Honolulu office by the  refuge  manager
on 30 August. Radio Expeditions Inc was fortunate to be  selected.  However,
due  to  the  time  required  to  establish  the  rules  for  amateur  radio
operations from Jarvis, the late selection date, and the lead time  required
to  schedule  and  prepare  the  MV  Braveheart,  the  expedition  has  been
postponed one year. November remains the best month to visit  Jarvis  Island
from a propagation standpoint, with  the  largest  combination  of  openings
predicted to Europe on both 160/80 and 12/10 metres.

KERMADEC ISLANDS 2010 ---> Vicky, SV2KBS has joined the ZL8X  DXpedition  to
Raoul  Island,  Kermadecs  [425DXN  981].  The  current  team  of  operators
