To celebrate this event, several radio-amateurs of VERON Section 54
will
activate the special callsigns PA73CORSO, PA73EBP and PA73LOU. The
reason
they have chosen the 73 callsign is that it also has a special meaning

September
8th, from Zundert and surroundings. The highlight of this event will be
on
Sunday, September 7th and Monday, September 8th, when the callsigns

VK9L, LORD HOWE ISLAND (Update/Press Release -- Written by
Christian/DL1MGB,
July 9th 2014, 20:07) [edited]: It has been a while since the last
news
about our (VK9DLX/VK9LM) DXpedition to Lord Howe Island in October
2014.
But that doesn't mean that nothing happened since then. OK, the
experience
we gained with the last DXpeditions in preparing and packing the sea
freight
makes it easier with the time. But nevertheless it was again a huge
amount
of work to get all ready to go.
Nearly the whole team met in Goch at the great station of DR1A where
we
packed all our equipment. Though we already have a good selection of
radios,
amplifiers and antennas on our stock, there are always new ideas coming
up
with each DXpedition which lead to even more equipment. So it was this
time.
For the planned contest operation as well as for the normal DXpedition
we
plan to set up two-radio setups which are sharing the available
antennas.
Also the antenna planning needed some brain power. For the high bands
we
will use both horizontal and vertical polarized monoband antennas for
each
band, because they were available and because they minimize
interferences
between the bands. Having a big field to set up antennas is good, but
having
the shack at one end of the property, you need long cable runs to feed
all
the antennas. Therefore over 1,500 meters of coax cable and another
1,400
meters of control cable went into the boxes. At the end of the weekend
we
had over 3 tons of equipment packed in nearly 60 different boxes. They
will
now be shipped from Germany to Australia mainland and further on to
Lord
Howe Island. Be sure you don't miss the pictures in our gallery on:
We had one sad moment when Felix, DL5XL, had to tell us that he had
to
cancel his participation due to his job commitments at that time. With
him
we loose an excellent operator buddy!
More or less by chance we got in contact with Joerg, DF7TH. He has
already
been known to Dietmar, DL3DXX, and Gerd, DJ5IW. They shared the
operating
seat at XF4DL in 2006. Being a CW enthusiast he has been active from
EI,
TK, LX, OD5, EA8 or IS0 in the past. Working as a freelancer in
hardware
and software development, he found the time to join our group to follow
to
Lord Howe Island. Having now three Joerg in the team, we decided to
name
them after their callsign numbers: Joerg-6 (DF6JC), Joerg-7 (DF7TH)
and
Joerg-8 (DL8WPX). Sounds like fun when calling for a Joerg. So welcome
to
the team, Joerg-7!
Feel free to visit the DXpedition website on <http://www.lordhowe2014.org>
and subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed.
No idea who the Lagunaria DX Group is?
Just visit <http://www.lagunaria-dx-group.org/> and learn more about
the
group, the people behind it and their goals.
VP2E, ANGUILLA. Frank, K3TRM, will be active as VP2ERM from Anguilla

and Twitter @k3trm.
VQ9, CHAGOS ISLANDS. Bob, N7XR, is planning to be active as VQ9XR
from
Diego Garcia (AF-006) in 2014. His planned operations are for 3 weeks
in
August followed up by a 1 week trip in October or November. Activity
will be focused on CW and RTTY during these trips. QSL via NN1N,
direct
or LoTW only.
XR0, EASTER ISLAND (Update). Operators Cristian/CE2WTF and

2nd,

XW, LAOS. By the time you read this, Champ, E21EIC, will once again
be
active as XW1IC (ex-XW0YJY) from Vientiane between July 11-15th. His

use this callsign instead of XW0YJY. QSLs must be requested via the
OQRS
