DESECHEO 2009 ---> K5D is the callsign reserved for the upcoming operation
from Desecheo Island, which is due to begin late in the day on 12 February
[425DXN 923].
In their latest press release, dated 26 January, the team asks "that you
not contact the DXpedition on any band/mode that you have confirmed from a
previous DXpedition", in order to "allow the people who really need a new
DXCC entity a better opportunity to get through the pileups". K5D will
neither try "to establish a world record for contacts" nor encourage
"competitions for most band/mode QSOs", so "if you have KP5 already
confirmed on a particular band/mode, we respectfully ask that you exercise
restraint".
The team has encountered higher expenses than anticipated. These mainly
involve the transportation and feeding of other personnel (about ten
people) that will be on the island with K5D to provide security and carry
out field research. Please consider a contribution to the DXpedition to
help with these incremental expenses - just go to http://www.kp5.us/ and
click "How you can Help". [TNX K4UEE]
FW5RE ---> The Hungarin team on Wallis Island became active as FW5RE around
5 UTC on 27 January. They have a websiste at http://ha0du.com, where it is
possibile to find updates and latest information. QSL via HA8IB.
LOGS ---> The log search for ZS8T (http://zs8t.net/online-logsearch/) now
includes the QSOs Petrus logged through 25 January.
MIDWAY ATOLL ---> The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has announced that they
would once again allow amateur radio operators an opportunity to operate
from Midway Atoll "on a trial basis". To ensure the safety of the wildlife
on the Refuge, the USFWS said that Amateur Radio operations will be
permitted for two weeks only, from 5 to 19 October 2009. Read the full
