BITS & PIECES -
Hi all
We are back in NZ after shutting down on Wednesday before lunch just
before bad weather hit our QTH. We averaged 2,200 QSOs a day with three
radios for 5 days with over 11,000 QSOs in the log. The final logs will
be uploaded to the www.zl7t.com/ website in a few days.
We had a great time and appreciate the wonderful support and messages of
good wishes to the team.
I will post an epilog with more information in a few days after I have
some sleep. A full article will appear in the various DX Jounals in a
month or so. It's great to see the "DX-IS spirit still alive in the face
of ever shrinking sunspots.
73, Lee ZL2AL

VK9LA NEWS RELEASE MAR 11
LOW BAND OPERATIONS....
Extensive work has taken place to make sure all operators are familiar
with various sunrise sunset times throughout the world.
Lord Howe island Sunset is at approx 07.36utc with Sunrise being
19.36utc (taken at 27th March 2009). We have all been familiarizing
ourselves with possible propagation openings for all points of the
globe.
A complete list in an ascending pecking order will be at every HF
station for operators to continually check. It is our plan to have an
operator on deck on 160m from 07.40utc daily to work all the Pacific
areas followed by various parts of Asia somewhere around 08.50utc. From
then we will look towards South Americas at around 09.35utc thru to
approx 10.15utc when we will begin looking for W1 in USA at approx
10.30utc then head to again some parts of Asia and then VE3 and W4
around 11.30utc as well as TI and XE areas. UA9 around 13.30utc followed
by W6 etc.
At approx 15.00utc we will begin searching for the likes of EK, 4L, UA1
followed by 4X at 15.45 and then the likes of 5B.
Hopefully we will get a shot at South Africa around 16.15utc then head
up again into EU territory to LZ around 16.35utc, HA and so on leading
up to I, LA, OZ, HB and G lands at 18.20utc.This procedure will be done
every day we are there. This will also be adopted on 80m as well as 75m
as we have 2 stations on air simultaneously on the same band, as well as
40m. We expect big long openings on all bands below. We would however
request that you be patient. It will take us a couple of days to install
all low band antennae.
We would also request that once you are in the log to please do not call
the next night, let someone else have a go... my pet hate is to see the
same station in the log on the same band over and over.
Cu in the pile ups....

Press releases :
Midway Island 2009
A multi national team of 19 operators will activate Midway Island in
October 2009. The US Fish & Wildlife Service has authorized amateur
operation from this rare US entity for only a 10 day period, its first
radio activity in almost 10 years.
Midway Island ranks number 24 worldwide and number 13 in Europe on the
DX Magazine's "Most Wanted List". Activity will be on 6 meters to 160
meters with 5 to 6 stations. At least one station will be active on 20
meters around the clock for those who need it for a new country. Major
efforts will be made to meet the demand to the most needed geographical
areas, the low bands and RTTY.
Team members are AA4NN, EA1IR, DJ9ZB, KH7U, KI6TVS, KL2A, N1DG, N4PN,
N4XP, N6GQ, N7CQQ, WB4JTT, W6KK, W6OSP, WA7NB, W8CAA, W8GEX, WA8NJR and
OK1KT. Off site support is being provided by AA1V, W5DNT and W6XA.
Travel to Midway is only allowed by chartered aircraft. Because of the
size of the aircraft, the team is presented with unique challenges. As
such, the aircraft will only be able to carry the team requiring the
equipment to be shipped by boat some months ahead. Adding to the high
cost of transportation, daily fees and other charges established by the
USF&WLS makes this operation very expensive.
A web site has been established and can be found at www.midway2009.com/.
Please support this endeavor by sending a donation. To make it easy to
donate you can contribute electronically using the web site or if you
choose regular means you may do so. Instructions are given on the web
site for either method.
Updates will be published on the web site as they become available.

S2, BANGLADESH (Op Cancelled). Members of the Korea DX Club had to
cancel their operation from Dhaka due to a civil war that broke out in
the city. The KDXC team mentions that the "Situation is chaotic", and
the team was going back to Korea. Unfortunately, the team's callsign
S21KD was cancelled when they first arrived, and they tried to get a new
license. However, Friday and Saturday were holidays in Bangladesh. They
did get a new license on Sunday, S21ZCY, and moved to another location 2
1/2 hours away. The team hoped to be on the air that day but could not
retrieve the radio gear from the airport. Safety was the team's first
priority, so they cancelled and headed back home. They hope to get
another chance to operate from S2-land soon. For more details and
updates, please visit the following Web page at: dxpedition.co.kr/

Global Simulated Emergency Test (GlobalSET)
The date for this event, sponsored by IARU Region 1, has been altered to
coincide with World Amateur Radio Day on April 18th. The theme for the
day of "Amateur Radio: Your Resource in Disaster and Emergency
Communication" is an ideal opportunity to showcase the work of emergency
communications groups around the world.
The timing of the event remains at 1100-1500 UTC but in a change for
this and future events, the focus will be on generating and relaying
messages in a common format across country borders rather than the
information gathering about capabilities which has taken place in the
past.
More information will be posted on www.iaru-r1.org and www.raynet-hf.net
as it becomes available.
