Alaska, as KL7RRC this summer, have now rescheduled their

U.S.F.W.S. to go the island. Tim, NL8F, in Dutch Harbour, is

after NA-242 before they leave the North Slope of Alaska.
Updates will be posted to the "Latest News" section of the
NA-242 Expedition Web site: http://www.k6vva.com/iota/na242
Due to the possibility of polar bears at NA-242, they have
purchased electric bear fences, bear spray, and must hire
one or more local "Bear Guards" with heavy firepower for
24/7 protection. This will be a dangerous and extremely
costly IOTA expedition -- due mostly to the air transport-
ation of equipment. NA-242 in July is "The Main Event"

(May with NI6T) and NA-091 (June with W6NV).

KH8, AMERICAN SAMOA. Currently, plans are being made for a DXpedition to
American Samoa (KH8) to take place between November 17-28th, inclusive
for the CQWW DX CW Contest (November 26-27th) possibly as a SOAB, Multi-
Single, or Multi-2 category. Callsign mentioned is K8A. Operators will
be Scott/W4PA (owner of VIBROPLEX) and others. According to DX Magazine,
KH8 American Samoa is now in the top 50 "Most Wanted Countries" in Europe
on CW, digital modes, and the low bands. North American low band demand
for KH8 will be substantial. According to DX Summit, the last spot on
160m for a KH8 operation was in 2006. The K8A operation will focus on
CW and digital mode operation with the intent of reducing the overall DX
demand from Europe and the need for low band counters in North America and
elsewhere. The contest operation is secondary to the overall DXpedition
goal of reducing worldwide CW and digital mode demand for KH8 as a DXCC
counter. More details should be forthcoming.
M0, ENGLAND (Special Event). Phil, G3SWH, will be active on CW only
using the special callsign M0RSE over the weekend of July 2-3rd. Activity

version of the MDF. The Webinar presentation will happen in real time
and allow participants to hear the speakers, view their visual material,
and see the activity at the venue. The Webinar software system allows
on-line participants to ask questions and make comments. Those living
in time zones where joining them in real time is difficult will be
