hit by a noticeable pirate operation on 40m CW between 1527 to 1817z on

off air at 1527z. Please notify DXers that their QSOs with VU4PB made
during the above period was by a Slim Op. We understand the pain this
news will cause, and hope they can make QSOs on 40m with the real VU4PB
soon.... We would also like to say that three of our key operators have
been unable to join us at VU4PB as planned due to health and family

YJ, VANUATU (Want to go on a DXpedition?). Chris, VK3QB, reports that
the members of the "Oceania Amateur Radio DX Group" (ODXG) are planning
to go to Vanuatu again, but this time look for operators to join the
fun and some sightseeing. Plans are to arrive in Port Vila on September
28th, to get set up. Then operate the 2 contest weekends, with relaxed
DXpedition operations between October 3-7th - another 2-3 days of relaxed
operations following the CW Contest, then leave Vanuatu on October 14th.
Plans are still developing and depending on interest, ODXG will run
multiple stations from two separate locations on the island of Efate
(Port Vila) which is just a 4 hour flight from Melbourne. Any interested
people should register with Chris, VK3QB. Please provide a brief overview
of your interests, any relevant or special skills (many skills contribute
to a successful DXpedition) that may be useful for the trip. Send via
E-mail to vk3qb@wia.org.au or call 0429 187 593.
