                        Direttore Responsabile  I2VGW


3B7    - Two 3B7A  team  members  will  set sail  from  Mauritius  for Saint
         Brandon  on 3 April.  They  will  be  in  charge  "of all equipment
         transit  operations, as well  as identifying the  location  for all
         antennas, stations, generators, etc."  The rest  of  the team  will
         leave on 5 April. Plans are to be QRV as soon as possible,  but "do
         not expect any QSO before the entire  team is on the island".  Five
         stations will be in use, with "priority given to the areas with the
         shortest   and  most  difficult   openings"  (see  the  propagation
         predictions   page  on  http://www.saintbrandondx.com).  3B7A  will
         operate CW, SSB and RTTY on 160-10 metres (60m excluded).  The team
         has decided "not to bring any antenna for 6m. Conditions are so bad
         that it would be a waste of  time for just a  few or no contact  at
         all.  No antenna  for 6m also  means no try for EME".  QSL via Club
         Log's OQRS (direct or bureau) or via F5CWU (direct or bureau); LoTW
         for all contacts about six months after the end of the DXpedition.
3B8    - Nigel, G3TXF will be active as 3B8XF from Mauritius (AF-049) on for
         the  RSGB Commonwealth (BERU) Contest  (10-11 March).  QSL via LoTW
         and Club Log's OQRS.
3C0    - Yuris YL2GM, Kaspars YL1ZF and Girts YL2KL have been active as 3C3W
         from Bioko Island (AF-010), Equatorial Guinea since 28 February and
         will remain there until 5 March. On 6 March they "will try to catch
         a flight" to  Annobon Island (AF-039),  where they will  be QRV  as
         3C0W. "Further plans are not clear yet", they say, but their flight
         back home is scheduled on 27 March.  They will operate CW, SSB  and
         RTTY on  160-10 metres with  three stations.  Updates are posted to
         http://www.lral.lv/3c0w_3c3w/.  QSL via Club Log's OQRS  (direct or
         bureau), or via YL2GN.
4K     - 4K100W is  a  special  callsign  used by  Vlad, 4K9W  from  1 March
         throughout the end of the year  to celebrate  the 100th anniversary
         since the founding of the  Azerbaijan Democratic Republic.  QSL via
         Club Log's OQRS, or via DL6KVA.
7Q     - All  preparations  are  now  complete  for  the  forthcoming  7Q7EI
         DXpedition to Malawi  (24 March-2 April) [425DXN 1395].  Up to five
         stations will be QRV  on  160-10 metres CW, SSB, RTTY and FT8.  The
         7Q7EI team will also participate  in the CQ WPX SSB Contest in  the
         Multi-Multi category. Be sure to check out their VOACAP propagation
         prediction tool on  the  DXpedition's  website (http://7q7ei.com/).
         [TNX EI9FBB]
9Y     - Arkady, UA4CC and  Arunas, LY2IJ will be  active  as 9Y4/UA4CC  and
         9Y4/LY2IJ from Tobago (SA-009) for a couple of weeks starting on 28
         February. They will operate CW, SSB and possibly RTTY with a  focus
         on 160 and 80 metres for Europe and Asia.  QSL via Club Log's OQRS,
         or via home calls. [TNX qrz.ru]
C6     - Dom, M1KTA will be active as  C6AKT from  Eleuthera Island (NA-001)
         Bahamas on 8-17 March. He will operate QRP CW on 80, 40, 20, 15 and
         10 metres,  and will  participate in  the  RSGB Commonwealth (BERU)
         Contest.  QSL via Club Log's OQRS, LoTW or  via home call.  [TNX DX
         World]
D2     - The D2TI DXpedition to  Tigres Island (AF-108)  has been  cancelled
         "due  to a whole host  of  ongoing  factors".  A Russian  team  had
         already purchased their flights "with an aim to be active mid-March
         for about a week" [425DXN 1399], but the local airline company  "is
         unreliable and seems to be going bankrupt. It does not appear  that
         AF-108 will  be  activated  anytime soon, as together  with airline
         issues,  there is  a vast  problem with local  logistics and help".
         [TNX DX World]
H4     - H44R is the callsign for the 22-25 April IOTA DXpedition to Mbanika
         Island (OC-168,  Solomon Islands  for DXCC)  [425DXN 1394].  Cezar,
         VE3LYC and Bernhard, DL2GAC will  try to run two  stations  "for as
         long  in  the day  as possible".  QSL via  Club Log's OQRS, or  via
         VE3LYC. See https://h44r-h40d.weebly.com (new URL) for updates.
JD1_mt - Take, JG8NQJ expects to be back to the weather  station  on  Minami
         Torishima (OC-073)  for three  months starting around 15 March.  He
         operates CW and RTTY as JG8NQJ/JD1  in  his  spare  time.  QSL  via
         JA8CJY (direct) or JG8NQJ (bureau).
KH1    - "While our movements and equipment  may  be  regulated in order  to
         protect the environment", the KH1/KH7Z Baker Island DXpedition team
         reported on 26 February,  "luckily the hours  we can be on the  air
         are not. Therefore, we intend to be active as much as we can on all
         available bands. This project presents a great opportunity to prove
         to the US Fish and Wildlife Service that DXpeditioning is a  highly
         compatible  activity  on an ecologically  sensitive island".  March
         will mark "a significant milestone for the team as our next payment
         on the ship is due. Though the operator  team will contribute  over
         50% of the expected budget, we still need your support to make this
         trip  happen.  If  you  haven't  contributed yet,  please  consider
         helping by visiting our  website: http://www.baker2018.net".  Plans
         are for  KH1/KH7Z  to  be  QRV  from 26 June  through  7 or 8 July,
         depending on weather and seas.
PJ2    - Ben, DL1RNT will be active holiday style as PJ2/DL1RNT from Curacao
         (SA-099) on 6-15 March.  He will operate mainly CW on the HF bands.
         QSL via home call, direct  or bureau.
T8     - Kiyoshi, JA0EKI will be active as T88XH from  Koror (OC-009), Palau
         on  8-14 March.  He will  operate  CW, SSB, RTTY and FT8  on  160-6
         metres. QSL via LoTW, or via JA0EKI (direct or bureau). [TNX NG3K]
TJ     - TJ3TT is the callsign  issued to  the  Italian DXpedition Team  for
         their forthcoming expedition to  Cameroon [425DXN 1396].  The dates
         are  15-29 March.  Six  operators (I2YSB, IK2CIO,  IK2CKR,  IK2DIA,
         IK2HKT and JA3USA)  will be QRV  on  160-10 metres CW and SSB  with
         three stations; RTTY will be used on 20 metres only.  QSL via I2YSB
         and  eventually  LoTW.  More information,  including a  band & mode
         survey, real-time logsearch and OQRS for direct cards, can be found
         at http://www.i2ysb.com/idt/. Updates will be posted to a dedicated
         forum on www.hamradioweb.net.
VK     - Craig, VK5CE has added a  fourth island  to  his  Western Australia
         IOTA Tour [425DXN 1393], and will be active as VK5CE/6 as follows:
         05-07 June  East Lewis Island  OC-199
         08-12 June  Direction Island   OC-140
         16-19 June  Cheyne Island      OC-193
         20-22 June  Woody Island       OC-170
         "This operation involves four DXpeditions with 9600 km of driving",
         Craig says.  "Each island  is different  and  requires a  different
         range of life support, power and antenna equipment. Therefore it is
         actually cheaper to drive my vehicle full of gear rather than fly".
         QSL via  Club Log's  OQRS (look for  VK5CE/6_OC140,  VK5CE/6_OC170,
         VK5CE/6_OC193  and   VK5CE/6_OC199),  or   direct   to  VK5CE.  See
         https://vkiota.wordpress.com/vk5ce-6/  for  more  information   and
         updates.
Z6     - OG2M, OH2BH and OH3JR will be active again as Z60A from 28 February
         until 12 March on the  low bands and in the  ARRL DX (SSB) Contest.
         They were previously disappointed as  they were not able to achieve
         clean  receiving  on the  low bands, thus  locals Z61DX,  Z61AS and
         Z62FB have been  working hard  to  find the  noise sources.  It now
         looks like both 80m and 40m  are  relatively clean,  while 160m  is
         still a challenge. The operators  will try beverages located as far
         as possible  from the noisy electricity  lines, and they  are  also
         considering going to the middle  of nowhere  with  their Spiderbeam
         radiator.  It  will  be  another  Arctic  mission  though,  as  the
         temperatures are estimated to reach -17C (1F),  and permanent  snow
         is covering the scene as they are 700m ASL. QSL via Club Log's OQRS
         or via OH2BH. [TNX N7NG]
XF4    - According  to the  updated  qrz.com  entry, XE1B now expects  to be
         active as 4B4B  from Socorro Island (NA-030), Revillagigedo [425DXN
         1389] for the entire monhth of March.  He departed the Mexican Navy
         Base  at Manzanillo on 1 March, and expects to be QRV starting on 3
         March. He will operate SSB on 160-6 metres. QSL via Club Log's OQRS
         or direct to home call.

3Y0I ---> Last week the organizers of the 3Y0I DXpedition  to  Bouvet Island
[425DXN 1397] "publicly invited the members of  the  ill-fated 3Y0Z team  to
join forces  as part of  'rebooted preparations' for  the venture, but  3Y0Z
team  co-leader  Bob Allphin, K4UEE, told  ARRL  that  his group  has  other
plans". The 3Y0I team says they expect to announce the expedition dates soon
(see https://bouvetoya.org).

ARRL INTERNATIONAL DX CONTEST (SSB) ---> Object of the contest is  for  W/VE
amateurs to work as many stations in as many DXCC Entities  as  possible  on
160, 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 metre bands, while DX stations  (also  including
KH6, KL7, CY9 and CY0) work as many W/VE amateurs  in  as  many  of  the  48
contiguous states and provinces as possible (complete rules can be found  at
http://www.arrl.org/arrl-dx). This year's event will run from from 00.00 UTC
on  3 March  through 23.59 UTC on  the 4th.  Do not forget  to give  a  look
at   the   Announced Operations   listing    maintained by   Bill, NG3K   at
http://www.ng3k.com/Misc/adxs2018.html - good contest to you all!

FT8 DXPEDITION MODE: PUBLIC TEST ---> A "Release Candidate"  version (WSJT-X
v1.9.0-rc2) of the WSJT-X digimode  software  has  been released.  A primary
purpose of this  beta  release is  to  allow  field testing  of the new  FT8
DXpedition Mode, which facilitates  high QSO rates  in pileup situations.  A
public test run is scheduled for 6-7 March.  The goal is to simulate a rare-
DXpedition pileup by having many  stations ("Hounds") calling and trying  to
work a designated pseudo-DXpedition station ("Fox").
Those participating  in the test  MUST  use WSJT-X v1.9.0-rc2.  Installation
packages for  Windows, Linux, Macintosh and Raspian Jessie are available  on
http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx.html.
Participants in the test  MUST read and carefully follow  the  instructions:
http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/FT8_DXpedition_Mode.pdf
The scheduled test will take place as follows:
6 March  23.00 UTC  14080 kHz
7 March  00.00 UTC  10141 kHz
7 March  01.00 UTC   7080 kHz
7 March  02.00 UTC   3585 kHz
The USB dial  frequencies are  subject  to change, depending  on other  band
usage at the time. If last-minute instructions  are necessary, they will  be
posted on http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/DXpedition_Mode_Test.txt.
Note  that  the  dial  frequencies  are NOT the  conventional  FT8 operating
frequencies  for each band.  DXpedition Mode should NOT be used  on standard
FT8 operating frequencies.
You may also choose to do your own testing  of FT8 DXpedition Mode  together
with a  group of  colleagues.  One station  would act as Fox, the others  as
Hounds. In such tests the Fox will be limited to using a single TX "slot".
Please report any anomalous behavior  to  wsjt-devel[@]lists.sourceforge.net
(you must be a subscriber in order to post there).

FT8 DXPEDITION MODE: TY7C ---> The  7-18 March DXpedition  to  Benin [425DXN
1398] will operate FT8 in DXpedition mode.  The use of WSJT-X v1.9.0-rc2  or
higher is mandatory, otherwise  TY7C will  not be able to  decode you in the
waterfall. You need to  be configured as "Hound",  while TY7C will  be  the
Fox" and will not use the standard FT8 frequencies.

ITALIAN ISLANDS AWARD ---> The new edition of the  IIA  Directory,  compiled
by Saverio Amore (IK2RLS), is now available for download on the ARI  website
at http://ari.it/iia_max/getfile.php?name=IIA_Directory_2018.

QSL G3MRC/9Q5 ---> The paper log for  G3MRC's activity  from  Goma, Zaire as
G3MRC/9Q5 (30 June-8 November 1994) has now been  transferred to  electronic
format.  It is fully searchable at  http://www.g3swh.org.uk/9q5mrc.html  and
has  been  uploaded to  both  LoTW and  Club Log. As with  any  such  manual
transfer, transcription errors are possible. If you have a QSO that does not
appear in the  on line log,  please  contact  Phil, G3SWH and  he will do  a
double check (and amend if necessary).  Paper QSLs via G3SWH's OQRS  (direct
only). [TNX G3SWH]

QSL VIA KU9C ---> After more than a decade of handling the QSL chores for  a
handful of stations, Erik K5WW has decided to hand the baton to  Steve KU9C.
The callsigns involved are:  C6AKU,  CW5T (25-28 November 2005 only),  CW7T,
CX7TT, HP1XT, HQ9R, HR9/WQ7R, J68V, K4T (11-15 March 2010 operation from the
Dry Tortugas, NA-079),  NP2X,  PJ6/K9VV,  V31BD  and  VP2VVV.  The QSL route
change is effective immediately, as  KU9C has  already  received  the  blank
cards.
