3D2R ---> It went QRT from Rotuma earlier than originally planned, at 11
UTC on 5 October. The team expected to depart the island at 12 UTC, and to
reach Suva (Fiji) on the 8th. The final log update will be uploaded upon
arrival in Suva. The 3D2R log search can be found at
www.qslnet.de/member/yt3w/yt1ad/logsearch.php.
CQ DX MARATHON ---> CQ Magazine has announced "a significant expansion in
the number of DX Marathon plaques to be awarded each year". Presently there
are only two plaques (for the top Unlimited Class and for the top Formula
Class scores); starting with the announcement of the 2011 Marathon results
(June 2012), additional plaques will be awarded for the top CW, top SSB,
top Single Band (10, 12, 15, 17, 20, 30, 40, 80) and top Continental
scores. An additional sponsor for top Digital Mode score is desired.
Please contact the DX Marathon Administrator, K9EL (k9el[@]dxmarathon.com)
if you wish to sponsor this plaque. Details on the new plaques and
qualifying scores can be found on DX Marathon website (www.dxmarathon.com).
MALPELO 2012 ---> The Malpelo 2012 DXpedition's team now consists of 18
operators representing eight countries. Two members of the team will travel
to Malpelo for a reconnaissance visit in late October. The purpose is to
check out possible operating sites and make final decisions on the type and
placement of antennas, as they want to try to have antennas oriented for
all parts of the DX world.
Every effort is being made to extend the length of time available for
operating. It appears that they can get to the island one day earlier and
may have the option of staying a few extra days.The current plan has the
team QRV on or about 23 January for 12-14 days. Operations are planned on
160 through 6 metres on CW, SSB and one digital mode. N2OO and the SJDXA
will handle QSL duties.
The Malpelo team is paying all their transportation expenses to/from
Colombia and putting up about one-half of all the DXpedition costs. To
cover the remainder of our expenses, contributions are being sought from DX
Foundations, DX Clubs and individual DXers. You may contribute directly to
DXARC (Colombia), K4UEE (North America), DJ9ZB (Europe) or JA1ELY
(Asia/JA). See www.hk0na.com for further information on how you can help.
[TNX K4UEE]
ROCKALL ---> Patrick, ON4HIL and Rudi, ON7YT were active on 40m as MM0RAI/p
from Rockall (EU-189) from 15.45 UTC on 1 October until 06.52 UTC on the
2nd. The logsearch is now up and running at www.rockall.be
SAC SSB ---> The Scandinavian Activity SSB Contest will be held on 8-9
October, from 12 to 12 UTC. Radio Arcala has set up a special DX Summit
sub-page (www.dxsummit.fi/sac) so you can follow the Nordic
country-to-country battle and also find exclusively individual Nordic
spots. [TNX OH2BN]
T32C ---> The DXpedition to Christmas Island has passed the 60,000 QSO
milestone (57% CW, 40% SSB and 3% RTTY, but the team is "making an effort
to increase the RTTY percentage").
This "has turned out to be something of an unplanned Field Day style
operation", G3XTT reported on 5 October, "and we now have no expectations
of our container of equipment arriving while we are here on Christmas
Island. Instead, the team hand carried just over one metric tonne of
equipment (poles, cables, radio gear, computers, etc) to the island".
Antenna-wise, they have "two-element vertical dipole arrays by the sea for
20 through 10, quarter-wave verticals with elevated radials for 30 and 40,
a quarter wave vertical with ground radials for 80 and a 15m high T antenna
with ground radials for 160. We also have two Beverage receive antennas for
160 and now have additional vertical dipoles for 10, 15 and 20 to allow us
to retask the low band stations as second stations on those bands when LF
is closed. We are continually refining our antenna systems within the
limits of the wire, poles and coax that we have here, though the second
tranche of operators who arrive in a week's time will bring more".
The current continental percentages are 54% NA, 24% AS, 17% EU, 5% others:
"we have pretty much been working all comers to clear the decks so that we
can begin to focus more on Europe where band openings are much more limited
than to the US and Japan". The latest press release, as well as the
logsearch and a feedback facility, can be found on the T32C website
(www.t32c.com).
TOP LISTS ---> The latest Topband, Topmode and Toplist listings are now
available at www.425dxn.org/awards/toplist/index.html. QSOs confirmed
through LoTW or included in on-line logs are eligible for listing. Send your
scores, as well as any request for further information, to Erminio Pandocchi
I2EOW (i2eow[@]fastwebnet.it).
