PD55, THE
NETHERLANDS (Specil Event) Operators Peter/PD1AJJ and Elmar/
PD3EM,
members of the "Lowlands 5x5 Rapid Deployment Amateur Radio Group",
will
activate the special event callsign PD55RADAR between September
4-14th.
The "RaDAR" is short for "Rapid Deployment Amateur Radio", and
this
is an international concept of Radio Amateurs being able to operate
anywhere
under all circumstances. The goal is to set up an Amateur Radio
station
quickly on remote sites anywhere using only battery power. Any-
where
means not only sites reachable by car but also on locations after
a
few miles walk. The 5×5 concept means being able to communicate by
Amateur
Radio within 5 minutes after arriving with the QRP power of
5 watts
maximum. The "Lowlands 5x5 RaDAR Group" is not a club with payed
membership.
It's the concept that brings these Dutch Radio Amateurs
together.

PJ2, NETHERLANDS
ANTILLES (Press Release). The following press release was
received
by John Barcroft, K6AM, dated August 26th: "NEW DXCC OPERATIONS
ON
CURACAO STARTING 10-10-10 -- As many of you know by now, the Netherlands
Antilles
will likely be dissolved as a country on October 10, 2010. Several
new
DXCC entities will result from this change including the addition of
the
island of Curacao (PJ2) as a new DXCC entity separate from Bonaire
(PJ4).
Since
this will meet the criteria for a new DXCC entity, we expect all
operations
to be accepted as of 10/10/10. While ARRL approval is not 100%
guaranteed,
and may not be officially announced until all DXCC requirements
are
documented, plans are in place to mount several operations from the
Signal
Point super-station, PJ2T on Curacao beginning on day one.
The
first operation runs from Oct 10 until Oct 18 with a group led by
K8ND.
They will be followed closely by a team of nine operators from the
U.S.
and Germany who will be there through November 2nd including a M/M
entry
in the CQWW SSB contest. We will be using both PJ2/homecall and
PJ2T
during the 3-week run. We will be on all bands before the contest,
including
6 meters, running CW, SSB and RTTY. Considering the number of
simultaneous
new entity operations, frequencies will be selected to avoid
interference.
The
GAREC conference (http://www.garec.net/)
is being held on Curacao
October 11-12th, and we will be opening the
PJ2T station to any of the
participating amateurs from around the
world who wish to operate in their
free time before or after the
conference. The station will also be open
to any local Curacao
amateurs who wish to operate from Signal Point during
the post
10-10-10 week.
These will not be sponsored expeditions nor are
donations being solic-
ited. The operators involved are covering all
costs. QSL as instructed
on QRZ.com"
PJ5 & PJ7,
NETHERLANDS ANTILLES. With the strong possibility of two new
DXCC
entities to be created on October 10th, Bill, AA4NC, plans to activate
St.
Eustatius (NA-145) between October 9-15th, as PJ5/AA4NC, followed by
Sint
Maarten (NA-105) between October 15-18th, as PJ7/AA4NC. QSL route
will
be announced.
PJ5, NETHERLANDS ANTILLES. Operators Janusz/SP6IXF
and Wlodek/SP6EQZ
will be active from St.Eustatius (NA-145) starting
on November 18th.
They plan to be active for two weeks and will go
QRT on December 3rd.
Callsigns will be PJ5/SP6IXF and PJ5/SP6EQZ.
Activity is expected to be
on all HF bands (160-10m) using CW, SSB
and RTTY. Their location on the
island seems to be favorable to
Europe. QSL via their home callsigns.
A Web site will be available
soon. Also, online logs will be available
during or right after the
DXpedition.
PJ7, SINT MAARTEN (Press Release). Co-leaders Joe
Pater/W8GEX and Craig
Thompson/K9CT sent out the following press
release on August 26th: "The
PJ7 team going to Sint Maarten on
10-10-10 for the new county activation
reports that plans are coming
together very nicely. The team is in the
process of gathering and
testing equipment and antennas before shipping
to the staging area
where they will be put in a container for sea shipment
to the island.
We
are happy to report that not only is RF Concepts/Alpha a proud
sponsor
for our Sint Maarten Dxpedition beginning 10-10-10, they have
a
great promotion in conjunction with our trip.
In addition to
providing six new Alpha 8410 amps, and one Alpha 8406
six meter
amplifier, RF Concepts will make a cash donation to the DXpediton
for
anyone who purchases a new 9500, 8410, or 8406 between now and the
end
of September and specifies the Sint Maarten trip.
The company
will donate 150 USDs for the purchase of an Alpha 9500 and
100 USDs
for the purchase of an Alpha 8410 or Alpha 8406. This offer is
for
any new orders (not trade-ins) ordered and shipped between now and
the
end of September.

F A X 303-473-9660
The team has received emails
asking about when it will count as a new
one. We do not know yet, but
do know that the ARRL DXCC committee is
working on this matter and
hopefully will have a news release soon.
The team is working
diligently to get everything ready, and is anxious
to get on the air
to hand out a new one."

envelopes
not the ones that you have to lick. Also, please use
International mail
envelopes for international requests. These are
the ones with red and blue
markings and that say 'Air Mail' on
them..... My turn around is usually
less than a month. Please only
Green Stamps. I'm ok with two, but more
will be much appreciated to
help offset my overall QSLing cost. Remember,
I reply to about 3000

don't have a self

will be
returned via the Bureau."
