21/05/2012: Andre, GM3VLB, reports "In the hope of completing what I now call
the "SCOTIA challenge", which in my own case means activating the last five of
the programme's 200 islands which I haven't yet activated, I am returning to the
Orkney (EU-009) group, beginning 21 May, 2012. I have a return booking on 7 June
but am prepared to remain in EU-009 longer, if necessary. The 5 remaining
islands are Muckle Green Holm (IOSA OR32, SCOTIA OI20), Linga Holm (IOSA OR31,
SCOTIA OI21), Eynhallow (IOSA OR24, SCOTIA OI24), Faray (IOSA OR23, SCOTIA OI28)
and Calf of Eday (IOSA OR29, SCOTIA OI29). Some are quite difficult to approach
and to land on (steep rocky shores) as well as being subject to very strong
tidal current (the waters off Eday are in fact the chosen location for testing
the latest tidal generators, so near-perfect weather conditions will be
required. I believe most may be first-time activations. This will be a solo
operation (XYL Veronica having decided discretion was the better part of
valour!). If successful, I hope to continue activating islands, this season, in
a more relaxed way, hopefully teaming up with regular island buddy Alex G(M)0DHZ
to re-activate some less remote islands, which even some of the high-scoring
SCOTIA chasers may have missed - I will be doing an analysis of the records to
determine the most wanted." QSL via home call, direct only. [DE0MST]

BITS & PIECES -
KH8/KL7RRC - AMERICAN SAMOA
Yuri, N3QQ and Dick, N7RO plan to be active from Pago Pago, Tutuila island
(OC-045, USi AS007S, WLOTA 4385), either end of May or beginning June 2012 as
KH8/KL7RRC for one week. They will be QRV on 10-40m, but the main purpose of
trip is business related (installing 2-way systems.) When in Pago Pago, they
will be meeting FWS officials and boat owners discussing the possibility of
activating the very rare Rose Atoll (OC-190, USi AS004S) with a view to being
QRV from there in December / January. If interested in joining the proposed Rose
Atoll expedition, contact Yuri N3QQ. QSL via N7RO.
*Reminder that KL7RRC also hopes to be active from IOTA NA-240 NEW in May 2012.
YV - PATOS ISLAND - CALLSIGN CHANGE
A team from the Caracas DX Group will be active as YW5PI from the rare Patos
Island (SA-048, DIV-068, WLOTA 0499, WW Loc. FK90BP) between 19-22 April, 2012.
This is only the second expedition to take place from Patos, due to its
remoteness and difficult access. The first DXpedition was made by the CDXG 21
years ago, making it the most requested and sought after IOTA in Venezuela. The
team will operate on all HF bands and modes. QSL via DM4TI. Website:
www.qrz.com/db/YW5PI [dx-world.net]

C6AGW - PRESS RELEASE 2 - TESTING IN THE RAIN
During the week-end, under the Italian rains (cats and dogs raining, hi)
Gabriele, I2VGW has tested all the antennas and the equipments for his Bahamas
round trip. As announced he plans to be operating as C6AGW starting April 26th
through May 6th from the Bimini islands, NA-048 and/or Berry islands (NA-054)
quite rare IOTA references and, of course, also from New Providence and Long
Island, Great Bahama Bank (NA-001). Following also the requests of many
lighthouses chasers Gabriele would like to confirm that all these references
will be printed on his QSL card. That meaning: New Providence main Is. LH 1115
and NA-001; Long Is. LH 1898 and NA-001 Bimini (South) LH 2467 and NA-048 Berry
Is. (Gr.Stirrup Cay) LH 1903 and NA-054. We remind you that this new Gabriele's
adventure will be an holiday style operation. In any case Gabriele, as usual,
will give great emphasis to digital modes and Warc bands but he'll keep in his
mind SSB too. He'll take with him his Icom 7200, an Hampole, a KW5 and a
Buddipole. For more info and any updates visit the dxped web site:
www.mdxc.org/c6agw
Gabriele will be supported by MDXC with log online, news in realtime,
pictures and videos. [MDXC]
------------------------------
International Marconi Day takes place on 21 April. Details of the many stations
taking part can be found at www.gb4ind.com/ [GB2RS
