If conditions warrant, the pair will return to Galveston Island on Tuesday morning for another day of operation. As the Galveston Island State Park is still closed due to damage from Hurricane Ike this past September, the brothers will use generator power. They will run barefoot into a ZeroFive 43 foot vertical. Monday's operation is planned to be mainly SSB, with the possibility of some CW and digital modes. [K1XN]
30/03/2009: Saad, N5FF will be arriving Damascus, Syria, March 29th evening and should be QRV as YK1BA again from March 30th to April 10th, returning home to Texas on April 11th. As usual, his operating hours will be spotty, but he will try to put in as much radio time as possible. Most probably, operating hours will be between 2000 - 2300 UTC or between 0200 - 0500 UTC and possibly some occasional activity between 1200 - 1400 UTC. Focus will be on 30, 40, and 80 meters using SSB, CW, and RTTY. QSL via N5FF (QRZ.com). [K1XN]
31/03/2009: Bodo, DL3OCH will be active as 5N0OCH from the end of March until July from Nähe Abuja, Nigeria. QRV on all bands (especially 160m) using CW, SSB and also RTTY. QSLs will be answered 100% via Bureau or direct through his home call. Further information at: www.dl3och.de/ [UBA HF News]
31/03/2009: It was announced, at the Maui Ham Club, that the extremely rare Kalawao County will be on 40m and 20m on March 30th and 31st. MARC member, Jayson Kohama, WH6BXK, will be working there on those days. After he gets off work each day, he plans to be on HF making as many contacts as possible. His station, WH6BXK, will be on the air each day after 18:00 local (6pm) i.e. 0400z. He will be on 7.188MHz and 14.335MHz SSB. Kalawao County is one of the rarest USA counties. It is the 2nd smallest county and the poorest in the USA. It is just the Kalaupapa peninsula on the island of Molokai (OC-019, USi HI-015S, WLOTA 1045). It is the old Hawaiian leper colony. Because it was a leper colony, it was totally isolated from the rest of the islands and had its own separate county government, which was administered by the state. Hams must have special permission to go there and operate. Thus it is extremely rare for any ham signals to ever radiate from Kalawao. QSL via WH6BXK (QRZ.com). [VK4FW]
31/03/2009: Simon, M0VKY will be active from Lanzarote Island (AF-004, DIE S-007, WLOTA 0099) as EA8/homecall between March 31st and April 5th. Working conditions will be FT857D 1/2 wave dipole for 20m, 1/2 wave dipole for 40 and 15 meters. QSL via home call, direct or Bureau. [rsgbiota.org]
31/03/2009: Cezar, VE3LYC will be active as VY0A from Fox Island (NA-186) between March 31st and April 3rd. QRV on SSB and CW with 100 watts and a multi-band vertical antenna, with focus on 20, 30 and 40 meters. This IOTA group was activated only once and very briefly sixteen years ago. The costs associated with this operation are considerable and both group and individual donors are being sought. QSL via VE3LYC. [425 DX News]
01/04/2009: Piotr/SP2JMR and Slavo/SP2JMB will be active as 3B9/homecalls from the Rodrigues Islands (AF-017) April 1-8th, and as 3B8/homecalls from Mauritius Island (AF-049, WLOTA 0595) April 9-17th. They plan to operate SSB and CW on all bands. QSL via home calls. [425 DX News]

For 2 meters they will be using two 10 element yagis, a 400 watt amp and a preamp (there will be a smaller setup for 70cm).

QSL INFO -
A station signing EP2IA has been QRV this week on 40 mtrs CW, asking for QSL via qrz.com. This was my call in the 1970's but I know nothing about the current operation. If the call-sign had been re-issued I would expect him to give a valid QSL route. But qrz.com points at G3SXW so I must conclude that this is a pirate operation.
Please help me to spread the word: PIRATE! I will receive many QSLs that will be returned to sender (extra work for me) and very disappointing for many DXers who think that they have worked a new country. There are some very selfish people in this world.

I've combined my love of railroads and railroad history with ham radio and created an organization called "Railroad Depots on the Air." The purpose is to activate railroad depots and sites where railroad depots once were, similar to how lighthouses are activated for WLOTA. If you're interested, please visit:

Some of you have on your weeb pages an OLD link to our Castles Award DCS-SSD , so we urge you to correct those links as follow:

Special Event Station celebrates 100 years of Naval Aviation -
On 7th May 1909 the Admiralty began a process that was to lead to the formation of the Fleet Air Arm.
As 2009 is the Centenary Year of Naval Aviation, there are a number of events and publications throughout the year to celebrate and commemorate this event.
The Royal Naval Amateur Radio Society is to operate a special event station during May 2009. The station will have the call sign GB100FAA and will be operated by members of the Society, initially from HMS Collingwood at Fareham and latterly at the Royal Naval Air Station at Yeovilton in Somerset.
The RNARS Chairman Mick Puttick says: "This is a chance for us to assist in publicising this historic occasion. Contacts with the special event stations and with RNARS members will also count towards the awards issued by the Society."
Operation will be on SSB and CW on the usual RNARS frequencies, band conditions permitting, and, +/- QRM:
SSB - 3740, 7055, 14294/14335, 18150, 21360, 28940.
