try
CW on 30M since Chile just opened that up and it will be a first for

only
and score among the "TOP 10" world stations in the SOABLP category.
You
can follow his activities and antenna experimentation on:
This is a very interesting QRZ.com page. There you will find a live

well.
Ken also states to look for ET3AA HQ station during the IARU HF World
Championship (July 13-14th). QSLs go to N2OO. In fact, Bob is
handling
QSLs now for ET3AA, but he doesn't have all of the logs. There is a
chart on the ET3AA QRZ.com Web page that lists the logs he does
have.
FO/A & FO/M, AUSTRAL AND MARQUESAS ISLANDS. By the time you read
this,
Vadym, UT6UD (ex-A35UD and S21XV), will be active as FO/UT6UD from
the
Hiva Oa Island (OC-027), Marquesas Island, until 1500z, July 13th. He

Activity
will be on multi-bands and multi-modes on HF according to the best
available propagation. QSL both callsigns via AF6WU, direct or by the
Bureau. Also eQSL, LoTW and Clublog. For direct QSLs, U.S. stations
send
1 US stamp, 33 cents does it. DX stations send 1 USD or 1 IRC. Don't
send
him a standard envelope, the card is large, 4" x 5.25", and it won't
fit.
FS, ST. MARTIN. Operators Randy/N0TG, Ron/AA4VK and Jeff/N1SNB will
be active as FS/homecall from St. Martin (NA-105, WLOTA 0383) between
October 24-31st. Activity will probably be like their PJ7 operation -
a suitcase operation on 40-10 meters using CW and SSB, with wire
antennas
and 100 watts. The trio will be active as FS/N1SNB during the CQWW DX
SSB
Contest (October 26-27th). QSL "ALL" callsigns via AA4VK.

IOTA ACTIVATIONS. Eric, W4OTN/3, informs OPDX that he is currently
planning on two IOTA DXpeditions: Smith Island (NA-140) and Hatteras
(Pea) Island (NA-067). The DXpedition to Smith Island is up in the
air
due to him having to sail there, but the latter to Hatteras Island
will
definitely happen unless there is some hurricane that forces him to
stay
home. His plan is as follows:
NA-140 - Smith Island is a small island in Maryland's Chesapeake
Bay.
Available only by boat, he will be sailing there to
operate
from the marina using shore-based antennas and
transceivers.
Eric will provide an update as it gets closer to the time
to
make his way south. Operation will be over the last
weekend
in July 2013 for the annual RSGB IOTA Contest. Activity
will
most likely be 40-10 meters SSB. He may be able to do some
CW, depending on how much practice he get before then.
NA-067. Eric will be on vacation between August 4-10th on Hatteras
Island. Operating will be vacation-style and he will try
to
be available on 40-6 meters using CW and SSB. Eric knows
this
island group has been well represented in the past so he
does
not expect many pileups, but maybe he can work some rare
ones
himself!
QSL via LoTW, direct (w/SASE OR SAE and 1 IRC), or SKCC or the ARRL
Bureau. Eric will update everyone on his Web page as time gets closer
for
these events to happen at: http://www.w4otn.us/upcoming-iota-activations
IOTA ACTIVITY BY K6VVA (NA-004/NA-050/NA-172). Rick, K6VVA, sent out
the
following info on June 30th [edited]: "The decision was just made
about
NA-172, NA-004 and NA-050.
Look at the NOAA Forecast graph at <http://www.k6vva.com/iota/na172>.
Our planned dates for NA-172 were July 17-20th. NA-172 will
unfortunately
NOT happen this year - the "handwriting is on the wall". ;-(
A new 'Game Plan' for next year (2014) will involve new advance
arrange-
ments for a potentially MUCH longer stay on the mainland to wait out
any
solar issues. This will also be a more costly activation due to added
'Polar Bear Guard' protection cautionary measures including paying
for
the boat to remain at the Island with us in the event of a need for a
QRQ Exit. 'Safety First' is the highest priority for Mike/K9AJ and
myself.
There are a lot of costly logistical matters to be rescheduled
involving
the NA-172 activation.
That's the situation. Ditto for NA-004. However, I will still make
a
THIRD attempt at NA-050 myself which is more 'turnkey' to accomplish,
and not as much $$$ loss risk if solar condx take a dump on the way
there, upon arrival or during the activation. ;-(
Stay tuned for more details, and check <http://www.twitter.com/k6vva>
for any updates.
FYI & 73,..... Rick, K 6 V V A * The Locust"
UPDATE FROM RICK: Rick was going to try to activate NA-050 this past
weekend, but he had to postpone -- "Due to increased unexpected solar
disturbances, Auroral Oval, potential NA-050 fog and now the
likelihood
of departure delays and missed connections due to the re-routing of
many
plane flights down to the San Jose Airport resulting from the
unfortunate
plane crash at nearby SFO airport, this trip is being (postponed)
again."

LDXG IS BORN (Press Release). Chris, DL1MGB, sent out the following
on
July 4th [edited]: "During the 2013 Ham Radio Exhibition in
Friedrichshafen
the foundation of the Lagunaria DX Group (LDXG) was announced.
Several
operators founded together in 2007 when carrying out the VK9DNX
DXpedition
to Norfolk Island. The group also went to VK9DWX (Willis Island 2008)
and
ZL8X (Kermadec Islands 2010). And it was the technical and
operational
brains behind the radio operations of the TX5K Cordell-DXpedition to
Clipperton Island in spring of 2013.
The intention of the group is not to support other DXpeditions
rather
than to carry out its own ones. Besides having fun and going on
DXpeditions
as the main goals, the Lagunaria DX Group also supports international
understanding, shares technical ideas with others and makes use of
high
and bullet-proof technical standards.
The group members (DJ5IW, DJ7EO, DJ9RR, DL1MGB, DL3DXX, DL5CW,
DL5LYM,
DL6FBL, DL8OH, DL8WPX and SP5XVY) are not only all known from a lot
of
DXpeditions in the past, but also as passionate contesters of the
Bavarian
Contest Club (BCC).
After several discussions in Friedrichshafen the group already
started
with planning a new one. More information about this will be
available
soon.
Please have a look at the homepage of the Lagunaria DX Group
<http://lagunaria-dx-group.org/> to learn more about the
group and its
history and their DXpeditions."
LY80, LITHUANIA (Special Event). Look for the following stations to
be
active through July 31st. Lithuanian and Polish hams will operate
