Rich, KY6R, reports on April 22nd: We have just received the exciting news that permission has been obtained for the expedition to visit the French island of Kerguelen, lying 250 nm NNE of Heard Island. The visit will be done after the conclusion of the operations at Heard Island. It is not yet determined whether a radio operation will be authorized, and we are pursuing this possibility. [From Wikipedia] Kerguelen comprises a group of 300 islands and islets, with total area about the size of Puerto Rico. The climate is raw and chilly with frequent high winds throughout the year. The surrounding seas are generally rough and they remain ice-free year-round. There are no indigenous inhabitants, but France maintains a permanent presence of 45 to 100 scientists, engineers and researchers. There is no airport on the islands, so all travel and transport from the outside world is conducted by ship. IOTA NEWS.............. AS-073.

We are pleased to make several significant announcements. On-Island Team: Invariably, scheduling a DX-pedition requires team members to make commitments which sometimes conflict with unforeseen business / family activities. Joining the team: * David Greenhut, N6HD -- An active DXer and contester, David first earned his Novice license call WN6ICK in 1974, he now holds an Amateur Extra license. His amateur radio interests are DX, contesting and emergency communications. He enjoys building his amateur radio station, working new countries and serving the community.

News from our Corporate Sponsors: * Elecraft - Elecraft founders Eric Swartz/WA6HHQ and Wayne Burdick/N6KR will loan the team six K3 / KPA-500 stations for the DX-pedition. * DX-Engineering - Tim Duffy, K3LR, and the DX-Engineering team are donating a significant inventory of necessary equipment, including coax, RF connectors, power supplies, telescoping masts, and other essential equipment. * N6BT.com - Tom Schiller founder of N6BT.com is providing his Evolution Series of vertical antennas to the project. Tom’s antennas have been used on many DX-peditions with excellent results. * MicroHAM - microHAM founder Jozef Urban/OM7ZZ and Joe Subich/W4TV of microHAM USA, will loan 7 DigiKeyer II interface units. Along with our Lenovo T410 laptops and N1MM+ we’ll have a fully integrated state-of- the-art networked logging environment. * GM0OBX - Billy McFarland, GM0OBX, donated custom made interface cable sets for the DigiKeyer II interface units. http://www.gm0obx.co.uk/online-shop/4584969897 * DX-University - We are happy to have Wayne Mills, N7NG, and DX- University as a corporate sponsor. * Northern California DX Foundation - In addition to their generous financial support, the NCDXF will loan us several sets of band pass filters. * Array Solutions - Jay Terleski, WX0B, is providing a Shared Apex Loop Antenna and offered other support, as required. * 6 Meter Antenna - We thank Istvan (Pista) Kolcsey, HA0DU, for providing a 7 element 6 meter beam. We will announce additional corporate sponsors as agreements are completed. Corporate sponsors are crucial to the success of a major DX-pedition. Without their donations, equipment loans and technical support the project cost and complexity would increase dramatically. We appreciate their generosity and willingness to support our projects. All DXers and contesters owe these and our previously announced corporate sponsors and partners a big THANK YOU.
