CE - Cezar, VE3LYC and Johan, PA3EXX will attempt a very challenging
expedition to the Wollaston Islands (SA-031, IOTA Most Wanted #6)
and Diego Ramirez Islands (SA-097, IOTA new one) between
approximately 7 and 22 January. The plan is to operate for four
days from each group. However, weather and sea conditions can
influence significantly this schedule. The team has retained for
this trip the services of Thomas, an experienced skipper, with his
40 ft yacht. They are aware that landing on SA-097 is extremely
difficult and may not be possible within such a limited timeframe.
The logistical support received from the Radio Club de Chile and
Radio Club de Punta Arenas has been invaluable in obtaining the
licenses, permits, and authorizations required for this project.
This is not only a difficult but also a very expensive operation.
At this time the team seeks enthusiastic group and individual
donors who wish to be part of this effort. Financial support can
be sent by mail to Cezar, VE3LYC or PayPal to
tiberius.trifu[@]gmail.com. All contributions to this project will
be acknowledged. Callsigns and QSL instructions will be announced
in due course. [TNX VE3LYC]

VOACAP ONLINE ---> The point-to-point HF propagation prediction service
VOACAP Online (http://online.voacap.com) now uses Google Maps for
coordinate entry. The transmitter and receiver coordinates are defined by
dragging two location markers on the map. The mouse wheel or keyboard keys
can be used for zooming in and out so placing the markers at the exact
points on the map is as accurate as it can get. Jari Perkiomaki (OH6BG) has
also updated the sunspot predictions until the year 2012.
