on May 11th, for the upcoming September 16-26th, -- 2011 4W6A DXpedition:
"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'
<http://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

9Q50ON LOTW UPDATE. The 9Q50ON crew reports that 31966 QSOs have been
uploaded to LoTW. They state, "These are indeed more QSOs than originally
made. This is because the QSOs made by Patrick back in July are also
uploaded in LoTW + some callsign corrections that were made. From these
31966 Q's more than 40% have been confirmed. This indicates that more
and more good DXers are using LoTW! Still +100 envelops are received
every month. The next wave will be the conformation of the bureau QSLs."
QSL STATUS OF CE9/VE3LYC AND CE9/PA3EXX. Luciano, PT7WA, reports that
QSL cards have arrived from the printer. Unfortunately, Cezar is on a
business trip which will lead to an additional delay in the mailing
out the direct QSLs. The operators state, "While we are very grateful
to all the IOTA chasers for their understanding, we apologize for this
delay."
LOGS AVAILABLE. The T6JC log are now available online at:

QSLS RECEIVED VIA THE BUREAU: NONE REPORTED THIS WEEK!
T6, AFGHANISTAN (Cancelled/Update on DXpedition Donation Funds). Paul,
N6PSE, Co-Leader of the T6PSE DXpedition, sent out the following press
release (#4) on May 12th (edited): Dear T6PSE DXpedition supporters:
Please accept our sincere regrets for having to cancel the DXpedition.
This was a very difficult decision for us to make, particularly after we
shipped all of our equipment to Afghanistan. We cancelled just hours before
our flights to Kabul were to begin.
The tragic death of Jim McLaughlin, WA2EWE, and the fear of reprisals
for the killing of Osama Bin Laden made our security situation in Kabul
very uncertain.
Due to our significant shipping costs, we do not have all of the donation
money available to refund. The DXpedition team members have increased their
contributions and at this time we are refunding 90% of all donation money
that was received.
If this is not agreeable to you, please let me know. Please accept our
gratitude for donating to this DXpedition.
Sincerely,
