SAVE DX LOGS! ---> This appeal comes from Bob Schenck, N2OO: "If anyone
knows of any DX or DXpedition logs and blank cards that are in jeopardy of
being trashed, PLEASE save them! If you are a QSL Manager and can't be
bothered any more, PLEASE contact us! Contact the QSL Managers Society and
we pledge to locate a quality replacement QSL Manager. Just because a
DXpedition log is old does not mean that it is not worthy of being saved!"
Please visit www.qsl.net/qslmanagers or email qslmanagers[@]qsl.net
T32C ---> This is the FSDXA Christmas Island DXpedition Bulletin No.6,
realeased by Don Field (G3XTT) on 30 September.
"This Bulletin is written Friday afternoon Christmas Island time. We have
been busy the past two days erecting antennas for all bands 160 through 10,
as well as setting up stations and the IT network, which interconnects all
logging positions and provides lots of data for helping us plan the
operating schedules once we are under way. Everything has gone well during
set-up, with great co-operation from the staff of the Captain Cook Hotel.
For the record, our advance party (G3NUG, G3USR, DK1II) made around 1800
QSOs on 10 and 20m, using 100 watts (FT-450D) to a small vertical by the
sea, so we are confident that we should be able to make a big impression on
the bands once we are fully operational.
Our plan is to commence operations at midnight local time today here in
Christmas, which is 1000 UTC Friday 30th September [recte: Saturday 1
October, ed.]. We expect to be active on several bands from the start.
We do, however, have only one station per band for the time being, so for
the first few days will probably alternate modes on a (roughly) 24 hour
basis. On the non-WARC bands we expect to start on CW and then, at 1200 UTC
on Saturday, move to SSB and make a serious multi-multi entry in the
Oceania contest (which runs for 24 hours). This should get our SSB
operations off to a great start. We are able to work all comers in the
contest, so we very much want your call, whether you are taking part or
just need a T32 QSO. We will give you a contest report (RS + serial number);
if you are taking part please give us your serial number in return.
OTHER DXPEDITIONS: We are very much aware that there are other expeditions
active at this time, and will take every care to avoid causing any sort of
mutual QRM. This may well mean that we operate on frequencies other than
those that we pre-announced. No doubt we will be spotted on the Cluster
network, in any case.
ONGOING PLANS: We remain committed to maximising band openings to Europe,
but expect the number of callers in the first few days to make this
difficult if not impossible. But bear in mind that we will be active for 3
weeks and four weekends, so there should be plenty of opportunities
(propagation permitting) for a QSO. We will continue to send out news and
photographs when the opportunity arises - our website is being regularly
updated by webmaster G3WPH and those of who you who use Twitter can follow
us on G7VJR's Twitter feed (@G7VJR)".

+ SILENT KEYS + Helio "Carl" Carlota (PY2DBU) passed away on 25 September. A
highly respected member of the Brazilian amateur radio community, he was a
serious DXer and certificate hunter, and also served an IOTA Checkpoint in
the past.
Jean Joveneau (F9LX), a member of the FO0XX DXpedition to Clipperton Island
(1985), passed away on 25 September at 80 years of age.
Wilson Greatbatch (W2QBO) passed away on 27 September, aged 92. An
electrical engineer, he was the inventor of the implantable cardiac
pacemaker, which has led to heart patient survival rates comparable to that
of a healthy population of similar age.
