4W6A TIMOR-LESTE (EAST TIMOR) DXPEDITION SEPTEMBER 16 - 26, 2011
www.4w6a.com
PRESS RELEASE NUMBER 3 - May 11, 2011
Everything is on schedule for the 4W6A DXpedition. All the team
members have now booked and paid for their air tickets from the UK,
Malaysia and Australia to Dili, East Timor. A boat has been chartered
to take the team and their equipment from Dili to Atauro Island, the
site of the DXpedition, and back again. The accommodation on the
island has been booked and the team members are now also booking their
overnight transit stops in Bali, Darwin and Dili.
The DXpedition will be operating from generators which will be hired
and picked up in Dili the day before the start of the operation. The
generators have been booked and arrangements have been put in place
for sufficient fuel to be transported to the island for our use
whenever necessary.
It is hoped to be able to use an Internet connection on the island
and, if this proves to be reliable, logs will be uploaded to Club Log
(www.clublog.org) and Logbook of The World on a daily basis.
The team is very grateful to the LA DX Group, CDXC (Chiltern DX Club)
- The UK DX Foundation, the Oceania Amateur Radio DX Group, and the
Northern Ohio DX Association, who are the first four DX associations
to have offered sponsorship to the 4W6A DXpedition. Thanks too go to
Tony Burt, VK3TZ, of Rippletech Electronics
(http://www.rippletech.com.au), who is kindly loaning three monoband
vertical antennas for use on the DXpedition. We are also very grateful
to a growing number of individuals who have also made donations
towards the cost of shipping equipment to East Timor, the boat
charter, the hire of the generators and the cost of fuel. All sponsors
are listed, with thanks, on the 4W6A website at
http://www.4w6a.com/sponsors.html. If you or your DX club also wish to
help, there is a "Donations" page on the 4W6A website. Payments may be
made by credit or debit card and you do not need to have a PayPal
account yourself in order to make a donation.
4W6A will be QRV from Atauro Island (IOTA OC-232), Timor-Leste (East
Timor), from 16 to 26 September 2011. Activity will be on all bands 10
to 160 metres, using CW, SSB and RTTY. The QSL manager is M0URX,
direct (SAE plus 1 IRC / $2), via the bureau, or LoTW. The entire log
will be uploaded to LoTW as soon as possible after the end of the
operation or, if possible, even during the DXpedition. QSLs may also
be requested using the QSL request form on the website.
--------------------
May 2011 will be the month for chasing castles and stately homes on air. The
weekend of the 21st and 22nd will be the international castles weekend from 1am
on the 21st to 11pm on the 22nd. For UK stations, information can be found at
www.cashota.co.uk as well as links to regional activity. The website now allows
interested amateurs to complete activation forms online. [GB2RS]
