A few items have been mentioned on the 4W6A Facebook page:
1. Their noise level on 80m and 160m is VERY high and they reckon this
will hamper their effectiveness on LF.
2. With extremely limited internet access, an online log is now
available at: http://www.clublog.org/charts/?c=3D4W6A
The 4W6A Facebook page is at:

T32, EASTERN KIRBATI (T32C Christmas Island DXpedition). Don, G3XTT,
FSDXA Publicity Officer, sent out the following press release (Bulletin
#4) on September 16th: "It's been one of those years. Spratly and Jarvis
had to be postponed and now our own, T32C, expedition has hit some
logistical problems in that our container with its 6 tonnes of kit got
as far as T30 (Tarawa), but onward shipping to T32 has proved impossible
despite our best efforts and promises from those involved in 3D2, T30
and T32. The ship that was due to bring our container from Tarawa has
broken down and is being towed to Fiji for repairs.
WHAT NOW -- So what happens now? The answer is that we will go ahead
anyway. The team is complete and set to go, the hotel is expecting us,
and the sunspots seem to be on the increase.
Thanks to Yaesu, our Global Sponsor, we will have ten FT-450D radios,
which we will hand carry to T32, along with several lightweight linears.
Yaesu's support has been absolutely outstanding. We will also take enough
hardware to set up verticals and vertical arrays for all bands 160 through
10. It may even be possible to run multiple stations on some bands, though
not to the extent that we had previously planned. All our computer
equipment was to be hand-carried in any case, so daily log updates to
ClubLog (see Bulletin 3) will be unaffected. Unfortunately, unless our
container makes an unlikely late arrival on the island, 6m EME will have
to be abandoned, and we will not have the 4-square arrays for 30 and 40.
But we will do our best to set up phased systems or other antenna con-
figurations to achieve gain, especially towards Europe where will continue
to focus our efforts.
TIMINGS -- The expedition dates are unaffected, but we cannot realis-
tically expect to have stations running on nine bands by the first weekend,
though we will aim to be on some bands, at least. As we will not have
everything pre-kitted, there will be a lot of building and configuration
work to do once we arrive at Christmas. The good news is that we are there
for nearly four weeks and will be operating through four weekends, so there
should be plenty of opportunity to get into our log.
WEBSITE -- As always, but especially in these new circumstances, the
trick is to keep a close eye on our website. Do keep check.com/english ) between December 30th
and January 8th (2012). Activity should be on all bands using CW and SSB.
QSL via his home callsign.
TP50, FRANCE. The "Council of Europe Radio Amateur Club" (CERAC - TP2CE)

VP8ORK SOUTH ORKNEY ISLAND DVD (Review by OPDX Editor Tedd, KB8NW).
Just before going to print for this week's bulletin, I had a chance
to preview the 2011 VP8ORK MicroLite Penguins DXpedition's to South
Orkney Islands DVD by well-known DXpedition video photographer/operator
James Brooks, 9V1YC. I can say that this is another "must have" DVD for
a DXer's collection. James's talents have captured the workings of the
VP8ORK DXpedition and the majestic scenery of the Antarctic on this video.
It is well worth the watch. In 52 mintues you witness the loading of the
radio equipment onto the ship "Braveheart" in Ushuaia, Argentina, the
trip south to South Orkney (including icebergs along the way), as well
as the landing, unloading and setup of equipment and shelters on the
island. You get to see the extreme challenges the team endured installing
antennas in the hard rugged terrain; including scenes of operators working
the pile-ups and the many seals. Interviews by both operators and Nigel
Jolly (owner of the Braveheart) is a delight. This five star video is
now available for 25.00 USDs and shipping will begin on September 21st.
To order yours today, go to: http://www.dxvideos.com/vp8orkvideo.htm
YJ, VANUATU. Operators Ben/DJ0YI and Tom/NQ7R will be active as YJ0ABP
and YJ0ANR, respectively, from Vanuatu between September 27th and October
15th. They are part of the YJ0VK DXpedition (see below) and plan to operate
before and after the main DXpedition operation. They plan to arrive at
Port Vila on September 27th, and are expected to become operational that
day until September 30th, when the main VK0VK group arrives from VK-land.
After October 12th, when the main operation closes, they will remain and
operate until October 15th. Their activity will be mostly CW and the
Digital modes. QSL YJ0ABP via DJ0YI. QSL YJ0ANR via NQ7R.
YJ, VANUATU (Update). A team of 8 amateur radio operators from Australia
and the USA will be activating YJ0VK from Port Vila on Efate Island
between September 30th and October 12th. Earlier updates indicate that
the team will operate with up to 4 stations on bands from 1ill consist of 3 Kenwood TS-480HXs running 200w barefoot
and a Elecraft K3, also barefoot. Antennas will be verticals mounted on
the beach for 80m, 40m, 20m and an inverted L for 160m. A Cushcraft 3
element A3WS is proposed for the WARC activity. Verticals will also be
used for 15m and 10m. QSL via VK2CA, direct or by the Bureau. LoTW log
upload will be available on completion of operation. For updates, visit
