on schedule for the expedition. Team members' air tickets have been booked
and paid for, a boat has been chartered, the accommodation on Atauro and
the generators have been booked, arrangements have been put in place for
sufficient fuel to be transported to the island. Hopefully the team will be
able to use an Internet connection on the island, and, if this proves to be
reliable, logs will be uploaded to Club Log (www.clublog.org) and LoTW on a
daily basis. The latest press release (11 May) can be found at
www.4w6a.com, along with further information on the DXpedition and details
on how contribute to the project.
MIDWAY ISLAND ---> "I have just been assigned to work on Midway Island as
the Chief Communications Officer", Joe W5FJG says. "I hope to be on the air
as KH4/W5FJG either the last week of May or the first week in June. I will
be stationed here for at least one year.
At this time I have an Icom Ic-7000, but no antenna. I am working within
the guidelines of the Island administrators on getting an antenna in the
air to start off with. I intend to work from 6 through 40 (80 if a suitable
antenna can be obtained). SSB, CW, RTTY and other digital modes will be
worked.
I am seeking donations of (or funds for the purchase of) a Multi-Band
Vertical and or smaller 3el yagi. Also looking for donations for other
station equipment.
Since I will be here for one year or more, I am looking to build a
permanent Amateur radio shack that will keep Midway on the air long after I
have departed.
Will provide more info such as QSL route and operating times later". Joe
can be contacted at joeyjeepusa[@]yahoo.com
