FR/J, JUAN DE NOVA (Update)
The following was posted June 15th [edited]:

Arrangements for our next operation to Juan de Nova island are ongoing. We began the logistic operations by conditioning part of the equipment which will be implemented and we finalize some partnerships to supplement our equipment by taking into consideration the imposed constraints. Today, Juan de Nova comes 6th in the ClubLog Most Wanted DXCC listing, but after all major operations planned at the end of the year/early 2016, the island should be the 3rd most wanted DXCC, just behind the North Korea and Crozet!

One month after the announcement of the operation, we started to contact associations, clubs and foundations in order to help us to collect the necessary budget. This year particularly, this phase promises to be a true marathon, especially with the many other expeditions in the same time window. Right now, about a dozen sponsors already responded positively as well as sixty individual donators. We sincerely thank all these structures and their members for their generosity and their assistance, that is essential in this kind of adventure.

On June 12th, the NCDXF (Northern California DX Foundation) notified to us that a major contribution of 25,000 USDs has been granted to our operation. For 42 years, the NCDXF has contributed to finance expeditions in the rarest regions and make possible ambitious projects. We want to sincerely thank the NCDXF, its members and contributors who make DX operations possible.

This important help is a great step ahead for our team and we hope that other good surprises will follow. At the present time, we are far from reaching the necessary budget. The expenses this year are very important. Although we are very vigilant on each euro spent, there are costs like taxes, transport which remain incompressible and it will be necessary to support them in one way or another while trying not to cut down on the quantity of equipment that we hope to set-up.

We invite each DXer or sympathizer to visit our website and make a donation through the Paypal option. We are conscious that many of you will not hesitate to take part to the collective effort sometime during the operation or afterwards. In this kind of adventure, the major part of the expenses have to be paid before the departure; then, why wait until the last moment?

Let us remind you that for any donation higher or equal to 25$/€ the QSL card will be automatically be sent to your home address after the operation. It is our manner of thanking you for having contributed personally to the project.

Most of the team will be at the International Amateur Radio Exhibition of Friedrichshafen (Germany). We will be available to answer your questions and to take into account your remarks and suggestions

OJ0, MARKET REEF (Press Release)
Jarmo, OH2BN, sent out the following on June 15th:
LAST NIGHT ON MARKET REEF - OJ0B CLOSING DOWN JUNE 15, 2015 AT 1500 UTC -- CLEAR BUT WINDY EVENING ON THE REEF WITH OJ0B OPERATORS TEARING DOWN LARGE MOONBOUNCE 2M ARRAY AND REPORTING 462 SOLID 2M EME/MS QSOs

It's only some years back when using the moon as a reflector was considered a fun activity shared by just a few science types. Now techno- logy has reached a point where hundreds of QSOs are possible but still it takes some endurance. Jussi, OH6ZZ, and Jukka, OH8MSM, have shown such a spirit, demonstrating the tricks of moonbounce QSOs for regular DX- pedition types. They have logged all continents and more than fifty contacts with the U.S. and Canada. They have operated and slept in the damp storage room of the lighthouse wearing arctic outfits as June temper- atures are still running low out at sea.

Martti, OH2BH, and Kim, OH6KZP, picked up where Pekka, OH2TA, and Niko, OH2GEK, left off a few days ago. The HF total is more than 8000 QSOs and that includes 200+ on 50 MHz. They tested the SPE Expert 1.3 solid-state amps and ran more than 1 kW from a shaky lighthouse power source. These lightweight amps have proven to be real workhorses, easy to carry when landing with a rubber Zodiac in rough seas.

The weather was cooperative and all the maintenance work was completed; the fixed HF beam is now back in shape after an ice storm which had knocked down most of the elements.

OJ0B logs will be uploaded to ClubLog and OQRS will be activated later this week. Now the tired but happy DXpeditioners are waiting for the sea to calm down, gazing at the horizon in anticipation of returning home to enjoy the upcoming Midsummer festivities, a festival of the summer solstice. Thank you for your interest in OJ0B.

After finishing his activities from Majuro, Bob will fly to Tarawa (OC-017), West Kiribati. He will receive his T32 callsign upon his arrival and operate for a week there. QSL via his home callsign direct.

REALTIME BAND CONDITIONS WEB SITE
http://www.bandconditions.com
The purpose of this experimental Web site is to provide 24-7-365 actual (REALTIME) band condition information to CW QRPp, QRPe and CW/SSB for Contesters interested in increasing their scores. It can also be of benefit to other Radio Amateurs to determine band conditions for Nets and casual QSO's. This information is NOT based on any software pre- dictions or any kind of satellite based readings. It is based on a new Ionospheric sounding method called "HF Ionospheric Interferometry" which operates very similarly to the PolSAR system used by NASA.
