3DA, SWAZILAND (Update/Low Band Activity). Frosty, K5LBU/3DA0CF, reports
good news for Low Banders, and all systems are a go for July from Swaziland.
The operators are excited about the antennas for the low bands. He states
that thanks to a fellow ham, they will have (3) 800 ft. beverages. One
beverage will be pointed toward the U.S., one toward Europe and one toward
Japan. They expect to be on the air by the 9th of July or possibly the 8th.
Frosty mentions that they will have two very tall verticals for 160-80
meters (they are at least 70 ft. tall, and they will try to put them at
least 1/8th wave apart). He wished that they had several more operators
on this trip, but he guesses Wayne, W5KDJ/3DA0JDK, will have to do all
the CW. On 40 meters they will have the 40 meter kits on a Cushcraft
A4S antennas which will be close to 40 meters high.
3Y0X PETER I DXPEDITION (Press Release #2006-1). The following was sent
out by Ralph/K0IR and Bob/K4UEE on June 9th: The Peter I DXpedition is
scheduled for early 2006. We are pleased to announce that contracts have
been signed with a two Chilean companies to provide a vessel and helicopter
for the DXpedition to Peter I, Antarctica during Jan/Feb. 2006. The actual
dates of the operation will be released on or about Sept. 1, 2005, but the
general time frame will be between Jan. 16 and the end of February 2006.
The actual dates depend on the vessel scheduling and weather considerations.
It is the team's objective to be at Peter I for a minimum of two weeks
with the actual operating time to be determined by weather and set-up time.
Because of the likelihood of it being a very long time before Peter I will
be activated again, we have set some very high QSO goals. Nine stations
will be established on the island and QRV on all bands 160-10m, on the
most common communications modes.
Most of the members of the 2005 team will participate in the 2006
DXpedition, but there are several slots available for new team members.
Contact either: K4UEE ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or K0IR ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
for more information. This adventure is not for the faint-hearted!
Sponsors from the 2005 attempt are on board for 2006
.
See www.peterone.com http://www.peterone.com for a complete list.
This is a very expensive project. Although the team will be putting up
approximately 70% of the DXpeditions expenses, additional contributions
from sponsors are being sought. Contributions by check or PayPal are
very much appreciated. It is easy, just go to www.peterone.com

We will be posting DXpedition updates periodically, so please check
the website often.
