4W6A TIMOR-LESTE (EAST TIMOR) DXPEDITION (SEPTEMBER 16-26th, 2011).
<http://www.4w6a.com> PRESS RELEASE NUMBER 4 – July 5th, 2011:
  The 4W6A team welcomes Bernd Länger, VK2IA, as the seventh and final
member of the DXpedition. Bernd has joined the DXpedition in order to
help balance the requirement for CW operation. He brings a wealth of
DXpedition and contesting experience from Europe and the Asia-Pacific
area.
  Also joining the team, although not in Timor-Leste itself, are Col
McGowan, MM0NDX, and Kev Haworth, M0TNX. Col, who is the founder and
editor of the DX World website [http://dx-world.net], has been
appointed as pilot while Kev will be the assistant QSL manager to Tim,
M0URX. Col will be responsible for providing feedback to the team on
Atauro Island. He may be contacted at dxer59@gmail.com
  CDXC (Chiltern DX Club – the UK DX Foundation), the RSGB DXpedition
Fund, the German DX Foundation, the Northern California DX Foundation,
the European DX Foundation, the Nippon DX Association and the Northern
Illinois DX Association are the latest DX clubs and foundations that
are kindly providing financial support for the DXpedition. The team is
very grateful to all DX groups, companies and individuals who have
offered sponsorship. All 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 quickly 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.

YOUNGSTERS TAKE CONTROL OF FINLAND'S 20M SSB IARU HQ STATION AT RADIO
ARCALA, OH8X, (Helsinki - July 6th, 2011). "Working OH2HQ may land you
not only another HQ multiplier but may give you a good feeling and rein-
force your faith in the future of  Amateur Radio - so look for these four
guys with their well prepared and balanced effort in their first serious
contest.
  Mari, (YL) 18, OH2FPK, is a true mother figure of the group, radiating
sympathy and empathy, but also ready to guide the gang to the best possible
results. Mari can fight for her frequency if needed as she is one of the
nation's best for her age in a Japanese martial art called taido. Mari
is targeting for a meteorological profession and she can communicate
with you in both English and Russian.
  Leevi, 17, OH2FHN, is the group's superb CW operator but also the
team's technical expert. Leevi is a seasoned antenna builder and feels
at ease working with electronics. He was just rewarded with a Bencher
paddle to bring his CW to new heights. Leevi is comfortable with teaching
the group as he conducts amateur radio courses, specializing in the
technical part.
  Joona, 13, OH2FPG, is the youngest member of the team but well ex-
perienced to communicate with people both on radio and in person thanks
to his participation in several ham radio promotional exhibits. Joona
is quite outspoken and deals with the group's IT needs with his extensive
knowledge as another bright youth. Joona can handle the multitudes with
his good command of English.
  Joel, 13, OH2FHI, is multi-talented and has coupled his burgeoning
contesting interest with a focus on music as his way of life. When the
IARU contest starts, Joel may blow a few sounds on the air from his
accompanying trumpet. Joel is a true powerhouse and lots of fun as an
expert, young team-builder with his humor and ready wit. English is
Joel's mother language.
  So, this team has a very balanced skill set to do well at Radio Arcala's
Northern outpost faced with all the expected and unexpected challenges.
They plan to do a series of internal 2-hour runs to sort out their rates
and then target for the best score along with maximum learning experience
while exploiting their current skill levels to meet a variety of needs
for achieving the highest possible QSO total.
  The Finnish Amateur Radio League (SRAL) is the Finnish national IARU
society with more than 4300 OH members while Radio Arcala is an alliance
of dedicated Finnish contesters with the aim to increase awareness of
competitive amateur radio and related concepts among today's youth
through Arcala's extreme and novel approach. There is no doubt that
these youngsters get a kick out of turning the mammoth 40-ton antenna
constructions and driving the contest machine from the airplane-like
Arcala cockpit. Radio extreme at its best. Check out the Radio Arcala
website at <www.radioarcala.com>

ZD8, ASCENSION ISLAND (Correction). German operators Wolf/DK1IP, Rainer/
DL7OR, Gerd/DJ4KW, Arno/DL1CW and Werner/DJ9KH will be active as ZD8D
from Garden Cottage, Ascension Island (AF-003), between July 24th and
August 9th (see OPDX.1009). The dates have not been changed as first
thought only their location on the island due to the heavy rainfalls in
late April which damaged the street to Garden Cottage (their planned
operating site). They have changed their plans and will now use a guest-
house in Georgetown which they state "is not ideal. We have to rely on
our fiberglass poles, as there are no trees etc... We are afraid, that
we will be handicapped on 160 and 80m, but we will do our best, of
course." For updates, visit their Web page at:

I haven't been on the air much the past two weekends. Work has taken up
much of my free time. Things should change next weekend. A new rig is on
its way! A Yaesu FT-1000 Mark V was just purchased and should arrive on
the Island in a few weeks time. We are in the process of obtaining an RF
Amp in the 1KW range. There is a possibility we will hold a special event
on July 4th between Midway Island and the USS Midway on either 15 and or
20 meters. Will provide more details on this as we work them out with the
USS Midway Museum station. The R-5 Vertical has been taken down. We are in
the process of trouble shooting the antenna. We continue to have high SWR
on 20, 17 and part of the 15 meter bands. As of now we continue to work
using the home brew 20m dipole. I wish to thank all of you who have donated
or offered to donate equipment to support us on Midway. Once we get the
Mark V and an amp, we should have all the equipment we need to begin to
work some pile ups. We can't wait. See you all on the bands soon.....

  the public that as of September 6, 2011, it would no longer broadcast
  its geophysical alert message on WWV and WWVH. The ARRL has now learned
  that the SWPC has changed its mind and will keep broadcasting these
  messages that inform listeners of the solar flux, the mid-latitude A
  and K indices and space weather storms, both current and predicted.
  Due to listener feedback, the SWPC is considering updating the broadcast;
  in addition to providing the current daily solar flux at 2800 MHz, the
  SWPC is evaluating adding more frequent observations at 2695 MHz.
  According to the SWPC website, other improvements to the message content
  will also be evaluated."

ST0, SOUTHERN SUDAN (Update). Paul, N6PSE, sent out the following on
July 2nd (Press Release #4): "DXpedition to Southern Sudan -- In just a few
short days, the people of Southern Sudan will declare their independence
from Sudan and will become the new Republic of Southern Sudan.
  Vice President of South Sudan, Dr. Riek Machar Teny has announced that
admission as a member state of the United Nations will take place on July
14th, 2011.
  The DX Friends and the Intrepid-DX Group continue to monitor the UN
General Assembly and Security Council votes and are moving forward with
our plans for a large multi-national DXpedition to take place soon after
the UN admission occurs.
  Equipment has been procured and is being staged for rapid delivery to
Juba, the new capitol of Southern Sudan. Team members have applied for
their visas and we are awaiting them now.
  We have held several successful meetings with representatives of the
Government of Southern Sudan. We have been issued an amateur radio license
for the purpose of this DXpedition. The Government of South Sudan is very
supportive of our plans to visit Juba and to help them celebrate the birth
of their new country.
  We plan to soon be in the new capital of Juba and to be ready to start
our DXpedition after admission by the UN. We will have 18 operators
operating 24X7 on seven active stations.
  At this time, we are seeking Foundation, Club and Individual Sponsors
to help us defray the costs of carrying out this very important DXpedition.
  Our official website is http://www.dxfriends.com/SouthernSudan2011/
Thank you, The Intrepid-DX Group and The DX Friends."

  ADDED NOTES: As you can see, the U.S. is not the only nation to celebrate
their independence (July 4th) this week, but the Southern Sudan will also
celebrate theirs on July 9th. After the celebration, the "News Sudan
Vision" reports that the United Nations Security Council will first vote
to endorse the Republic of Southern Sudan to become a member of the U.N.
on July 13th. The United Nations Security Council will then bring it
before the General Assembly on July 14th. The Southern Sudan is then
expected to be the 193rd member/nation of the U.N..  Word has it that
once this happens, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) will
issue an international dialing code within 48 hours of their membership
into the U.N., and will also provide an ITU prefix block. Stay tuned!

SV9, CRETE. Ron, WB2GAI, will once again be active as SV9/WB2GAI/P between
August 29th and September 30th. This will be his fourth DXpedition to
Chania, Crete (EU-015). Activity, as always, will be on CW and on 80-10
meters. Ron still has the logs for his 2001, 2005 and 2009 operations.
DX stations, if you need a QSL, respond via the Bureau. USA stations,
QSL direct.

T6, AFGHANISTAN (Press Release). Paul, N6PSE, sent out the following on
June 29th: "Many in the amateur radio community have asked us about our
reaction to the attack and bombings at the Kabul Intercontinental Hotel:
  The Intrepid-DX Group is saddened to learn of the attack and bombings
at the Kabul Intercontinental Hotel. This hotel was to be the venue for
the now cancelled DXpedition that was planned for May 4th to May 16th,
2011.
  The hotel General Manager, Mr. Yousuf Hakimi and his staff were very
supportive and welcomed our plans to do a DXpedition from their hotel.
The hotel's height on a prominent hilltop made for a spectacular radio
location. In early April, we shipped our DXpedition equipment to the hotel.
Since we cancelled the DXpedition, Mr. Hakimi and his staff were cooper-
ative in helping us recover the bulk of our equipment.
  We cancelled our plans to conduct the DXpedition on the morning following
Osama Bin Laden's death. We were to fly to Kabul that very morning. It is
just this type of attack that we feared in reprisal for Bin Laden's death.
  We had hoped that things might stabilize in Kabul and that someday we
could resume our plans for a DXpedition, however attacks such as this make
those plans unsound and less likely.
  We will continue to focus on activating the soon to be new country of
The Republic of Southern Sudan.
  Thank you, Paul Ewing-N6PSE -- The Intrepid-DX Group"

glass poles, as there are no trees etc... We are afraid, that we will be
