Amateur radio operators are asked to keep the frequencies 3720, 3977, 7045, 7265, 14265 and 14300 kHz clear for emergency traffic. The local amateurs Jean-Robert Gaillard (HH2JR), his father John Henault (HH6JH) and Pierre Petry (HH2/HB9AMO), who travelled to Haiti only in the beginning of this year, are all doing well. You may listen to a phone
patch recording of HH2JR and W3ZU at: http://www.southgatearc.org

J7 – DOMINICA, NA-101
Gaynell,KK4WWW, is a missionary and will stay on Dominica (NA-101) from Jan 20 until Feb 4. He will be active as J79WWW as much as he can during his spare time. His QSL manager is N4USA.

JD1/MT – MINAMI TORISHIMA, OC-073
Masa,JD1BMM, will stay on Minami Torishima (Marcus Island, OC-073) from Jan 20 until the mid of February. This could be the last activity from this DXCC entity for some time because the radio station of the coast guard has been closed in December and the amateur radio clubstation shall be dismantled in February. QSLs for Masa via the JARL bureau.

PY0F – FERNANDO DE NORONHA, SA-003
Fred,PY2XB, will be QRV as PQ0F during the CQWW 160m Contest. He will stay on Fernando de Noronha (SA-003) from Jan 23 until Feb 3 and will be active as PY2XB/PY0F in CW, SSB, RTTY and PSK on all bands before and after the contest. QSLs for both calls direct or via buro to PT7WA.

SV/A – MOUNT ATHOS
For many years the prefix "SY” was standing exclusively for the DXCC entity Mount Athos in Greece. This has been changed to "SV/A” later but for many HAMs the SY prefix is still connected to Mt Athos though every Greek amateur may apply for a SY prefix now. This is a thorn in the side of the only radio amateur on the Holy mountain, Monk Apollo,
SV2ASP/A. He asks DXers from all over the world to send an e-mail to the Greek licensing authority (yme@otenet.gr) asking to stop this practice. At the moment Monk Apollo is very active in RTTY because this mode is silent and does not disturb other monks. He prefers working in RTTY on 1838-1840, 3580, 7038 and 10140 kHz around 1700-2100 UTC.
However his call has been abused by a pirate on Jan 12, 2010.

T32 – EASTERN KIRIBATI, OC-024
Don,G3BJ, is staying on Christmas Island (OC-024) from Jan 20-26 and will be active as T32BJ mainly in CW. He will try to contact Europe especially on the lowbands. QSL via his homecall.

Their equipment includes an ICOM 756 with 100 watts, a 36m long vertical for 160m,
a 41m long sloper for 80m and a 10m long vertical for the other bands.
Gerd and Gisela prefer QSLs via LoTW, but via bureau to their homecalls is ok as well. More information is available online at: http://www.qslnet.de/member/dj4kw/v31yn.htm
