DL8LAS, DL8OH, SP5XVY, and YL Victoria,SV2KBS, are going to activate
Raoul Island (OC-039) as ZL8X. They will have seven stations working
in CW, SSB and RTTY all around the clock. They ask everybody to make
only one QSO in RTTY because they are expecting to have a tremendous
pile-up in RTTY and want to provide a new one to as many as possible.
All information and QSL routes can be found on http://www.kermadec.de
An OQRS (Online QSL Request System) will be available later as well.
