OPDX INTERNET WEBSITE (by John, K8YSE)

The OPDX InterNet Web site has moved to a new server. Those of you who read the bulletin at http://www.en.com/users/k8yse/opdx.html will be redirected to the new server at http://www.papays.com/opdx.html The redirect will continue for a few weeks but eventually you will have to use the new address in order to access the bulletin. The K8YSE Web site has been hosted at en.com for many years. The new site, however, will provide more flexibility and allow enhancements not possible on the exiting server. For now everything will appear the same. If you have any questions, please contact John at: k8yse@papays.com ADDED NOTE: The NODXA Web site has also changed. Please see URL address below.

3B6, AGALEGA (Update/Progress)
Hans-Peter, HB9BXE, sent out a press release (3B6RF Bulletin Nr. 13) this past week. OPDX InterNet Subscribers will receive the large release as an additional bulletin. In short, the press release states that preparations for this DXpedition is running according to plan. On April 21st, three members of the team will head for Mauritius in order to make final preparations on the spot. The rest of the crew departs on April 28th, from Zurich. The 3B6 team plans to arrive on Agalega on May 3rd and plans to be active May 5th for 12 days. There is the possibility of chartering an aircraft for their trip from Mauritius to Agalega, and they are still working on it. Using an aircraft will allow them 2-3 additional operating days. The crew now consists of 20 operators: HB9BQI/Rene, HB9BQW/Christine, HB9BXE/Hans-Peter, HB9CRV/Hermann, HB9HFN/ Cedric, HB9JAI/Karl, HB9JBI/Friedhelm, HB9AAQ/Fred, CT1AGF/Luis, CT1EVP/ Antonio, DL3KUD/Matthias, DL6UAA/Mart, F6HMJ/Jack, G3KHZ/Derek, NK6F/Ken, N3SL/Steve, SP9RTI/Stefan, 3B8CF/Jacky and 4X1DX/Seth. YAESU of Germany has lent them the following equipment: 6 Transceivers FT1000MP, 6 Linear Amplifiers VL1000, 6 Power supplies, 2 Transceivers FT 847 and 1 Transceiver FT 920. They will have a huge arsenal of antennas to use. The group will have 4 Diesel generators 5.5 kW each. The satellite activity from Agalega will be the first ever from this remote place. They will concentrate on using the satellite AO-10, but, however, they will also use RS-12/13 sporadically. There will also be 6 meter activity and also PSK31 since it is becoming more popular. PKS31 will be used alternately with RTTY. The PSK31 frequencies to be used are: 14068.15 kHz +/- 1.2 kHz, 21078.15 kHz +/- 1.2 kHz and 28078.15 kHz +/- 1.2 kHz. SSTV will also be used but for only 3 days. Split operation is a must for SSTV. Their complete frequency band plan can be found on the Web site at:

H40, TEMOTU PROVINCE
Just a reminder that Ron, ZL1AMO, will be active from beginning around March 21st for three week. This operation is a special one because it will be his last DXpedition. We are sure many of you have worked Ron from many rare places and have many of his QSL cards. Ron is a very special, interesting DXer and person. Your editor is glad he had a chance to meet him many years ago at a NODXA meeting. Please show Ron thanks by working him from H40. He will probably sign H40RW or something with the "RW" suffix.

QSL INFO AND NEWS
3D2TC QSL ROUTE. Bob, W7TSQ, informs OPDX that people continue to send QSL requests for contacts with 3D2TC to him. He reports, "I do not know of any reason that I should appear as a manager for this station, I am not, never have been, have no logs and no cards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The only route is DIRECT to 3D2TC, Craig Thompson, Box 273 Suva, Fiji Islands S. Pacific. As there is no effective bureau there, DIRECT is the only way to go. Craig does QSL and has a nice QSL card. Bob, W7TSQ is, however, QSL Manager for YB0AZ, YB3OSE, YB3ASQ, A35RK, A35SQ, 3D2RK, 3D2SQ, AH6PN/HR6, N7QXQ/HR6 and any W7TSQ operations ONLY!!!!!!!!!!

Alex, PA1AW, is the QSL Manager for 5A24PA. However, he is NOT the QSL Manager for 5A1A or any other activities by Abubaker. He is only expecting logs for 5A24PA only. Cards will be printed directly after completion of this special activity and after receipt of the logs. QSLs for 5A24PA go direct only to: Alex van Hengel, PA1AW, Schoener 85, 2991JK Barendrecht, The Netherlands. He is currently not committed to any bureau QSLing.

QSLs for Richard, CX2AQ, can be sent to his QSL Manager EA5KB.

Fran, EA7FTR, informs OPDX that he is currently the QSL Manager for the following stations: CX8BU, OX3CO, TG9RZ, UN7GCE, VK7KHZ, YB4JIM, YC1VBH, ZP8AE and ZP8BHA.

NOT THE QSL MANAGER. Denny, GW3CDP, informs OPDX that he still continues to receive QSL cards for EK4JJ/Serge and EK4GK/Alex for which he is NOT the QSL Manager. The only route for EK4JJ and EK4GK is DIRECT. PLEASE CHANGE YOUR DATABASES. Denny is, however, the QSL Manager for EY8XX and EW6WR.

HK3JJH/HK0 QSLs. Apparently, Carl, N4AA, Editor of QRZ DX, has worked a deal out with Pedro, HK3JJH, on QSLing for his 1999 operation. Cards should be sent to N4AA with an SASE. Carl will send the QSO data to Pedro by E-mail. Pedro will fill out the cards and send them to Carl in batches, and Carl will put them in the SASE for return to the sender. This might be a little slow, but cards will be answered without fear of losing them in the Colombian mail system.

The log for the PW0S (St. Peter and St. Paul Rocks) is now available on the Web page at:

http://www.soutomaior.eti.br/mario
If there are any questions about QSOs not in the log or any other kind of problem, please send a message to the QSL Manager KU9C at: ku9c@arrl.net

Mike, KQ0B, informs OPDX that anyone needing cards for Eli, PT7BZ, and as PT7BZ/PY0F can either send them direct to Eli, via bureau to PT7BZ or to Mike, KQ0B. Please note: Mike is awaiting Eli's latest log entries which should be sent to him shortly. He has already received the cards and will reply once he get Eli's log.

QSLs for XW3QBR, XW3ZNR, XU7AAY and XY7AAZ. Roger, N4ZC, informs OPDX that IN3ZNR continues to be the correct QSL Manager for XW3QBR, XW3ZNR, XU7AAY and XU7AAZ .....but, for those USA stations that have not sent for their cards by now, or those wanting a faster reply, N4ZC has the complete logs and blank cards for those N.A stations that want a cheaper or faster way to get their cards. Those stations using U.S. postage may send a normal SASE for their cards to N4ZC. If you have already sent your cards to Italy, don't worry, all U.S. cards when answered will be sent in a box from IN3ZNR to N4ZC and mailed from N4ZC's NC QTH. If you must have a faster return for some reason, N4ZC can return N.A. cards within a day to two. Those stations outside N.A. should continue to use only IN3ZNR. They are working on answering cards at this time.

SPECIAL EVENT
Look for station TM0AR to be active during the "International Festival of Art and Technologies" from May 15-27th. Activity will be on 40/20/15/10 meters including the WARC bands. Reference DDFM - 72. QSL via F5TJC: Jean-Louis Briere-Lecomte, 18 Le Petit Saint Louis, 72400 Cormes, France.

TX8, NEW CALEDONIA (Update/Correction)
Franck, FK8HC, informs OPDX that FK8GM, FK8HW, LA5IIA and Franck will sign with the callsign TX8G (not TX5G as reported last week) during the CQ WPX Contest as a Multi/Multi entry.

VB6, CANADA (Attention Prefix Hunters!)
Todd, VE5MX, informs OPDX that he will be using the special callsign VB6A from VE6JY in the upcoming CQ WPX SSB Contest. All QSLs go via VE5MX, bureau preferred.

VP6CW AND VP6BK QRT
Robert, KD7H, spoke with Tom, VP6TC, Tuesday night, and he told him that Jacky/F2CW (VP6CW) and Kan/JA1BK (VP6BK) were on Pitcairn for the entire length of their VP6 operation. They were not on Ducie Island or any other island. The two operators are attempting to get Pitcairn admitted into the IARU and "then" perhaps Ducie will be a separate counter (new entity). The two operators left the island and might be active from other Pacific islands on their way home.

ZK1, NORTH AND SOUTH COOK ISLANDS
Victor Rivera, ZK1CG, on South Cook is back on the air again after being off for 10 years. This is thanks to Roger/W7VV and Sue for the very kind donation of an IC-751A and a G5RV vertical. Victor will be operating on all bands from 160-10 meters. If conditions are good he will change bands with you so you can work South Cooks on all bands. He was spotted this past week on 20 meters (around 14200 kHz) between 0430-0700z. QSL only direct to: Victor Rivera, P.O. Box 618, Rarotonga Cook Islands (or use the info on QRZ.com Web site). Victor is clearing a back log of old QSLs from the past contacts he has made. If you worked ZK1CG from South or North Cook Islands in the past and did not receive a card, please send again. Also, look for Victor/ ZK1CG, Tuatai/ZK1CY (ZK1MA) and members from the WWDXC Club Roger/W7VV (ZK1VVV), Bob/W7TSQ (ZK1TSQ), and three others to be going to Manihiki, North Cook for the CQWW SSB Contest this year in October for one week. They will have 4, 5 and 7 element beams and will be active on 160-10 meters. On the return from North Cook, all operators will be active from South Cook. ADDED NOTE: Look for ZK1MA to be active from North Cook. Tuatai, ZK1CY, is leaving South Cook and is heading back to Manihiki on the next boat. Tuatai lives in Manihiki.

Satellite-Operating 3B6RF
Our satellite activity from Agalega will be the first ever from this remote place. We will concentrate on using the satellite AO-10. Do not forget! This satellite has got a problem with the batteries. Apart from our activity via AO-10 we will also use RS-12/13 sporadically, which does not allow worldwide operation. We are also looking for the daily progress with the new satellite AO-40 and hope it may be possible to use it during our operation from Agalega. Keep your fingers crossed! Please check the sat frequencies, the status and the recommendations on the web side of AMSAT. We will publish all the necessary news and data of our satellite activity (e.g. like the timetable below) on our homepage in time to make sure that interested hams can successfully make QSOs with 3B6RF. We will be using a 9ele-Yagi for 2m-downlink incl. a preamplifier and a 21ele-Yagi for 70cm uplink. The transceiver is a Yaesu FT-847. Our downlink frequency will be 145.895 MHz, +/- QRM. During heavy pile-ups we will operate split. Please listen to the operator's instructions. Please send any information, hints and suggestions before our departure to Agalega to Matthias, DL3KUD (DL3KUD@QSL.NET) and during our operation contact our pilot stations.

6m operating
The 50MHz band really is a "Magic Band". Can you believe that on a dead VHF-Band you can suddenly hear a DX station about 10000km away from you? That's the "Magic Band". Now, we are at the solar maximum of cycle 23 and worldwide contacts may be possible frequently via F2-Reflections and TEP (Trans-Equatorial Propagation). We have a good opportunity to use F2 when the solar flux index is 185 and the earth magnetic A=20 .. 30. Six-meter F2 contacts are generally possible only over paths entirely in daylight. Limited experience with TEP indicates that it peaks between 1700 and 2200 local time. TEP signals have a rough aurora-like note. So it is better to work slow CW than SSB. High power and large antennas are not required to work TEP. Large pile-ups will be inevitable from European areas. For TEP from 3B6 the antenna will be directed to the north (360' +/- 45'). We will operate 3 different modes on 6m: Memory Scan Mode, Beacon Mode and QSO-Mode. Always remember, nobody can tell the duration of an opening. It can be a few minutes or several hours.

PSK 31
PSK31 is becoming more and more popular. 3B6RF will also be QRV on this new mode on 20m, 15m and 10m. PKS31 will be used alternately with RTTY. The equipment for PSK31 will be:
Transceiver FT1000MP + Linear VL 1000
Antenna: Force 12 3 el. multi band beam
Computer Toshiba CX230, Pentium 133 MHz
Software WinPSK31 Version 2.02
Frequencies to be used are:
14068.15 kHz +/- 1.2 kHz
21078.15 kHz +/- 1.2 kHz
28078.15 kHz +/- 1.2 kHz

We will call CQ on the above mentioned frequencies. However, in order to handle the pile up we will listen +/- 1.2 kHz. That will mean that you have to shift the RX frequency on your sound card slightly. For instance; TX is on 1500 Hz and RX 1350 Hz or vice versa. Contrary to the usual operating 3B6RF will use the TX frequency as master in PSK31. This operating method will also give a chance to the little pistols.

SSTV
We have decided to operate SSTV for 3 days. All involved stations have to maintain discipline and good operating practice to guarantee success. Guess what will happen if all stations start to send a picture at the same time! The following rules will allow each station to copy a picture from 3B6RF and to get the chance to send his personal picture with call sign etc. Split operation is a must in SSTV too.

Example 1:
Agalega calls in phone CQ SSTV from 3B6RF. The answering stations reply with the 2 last letters of their suffix. 3B6RF copies AX and answers "AX" go ahead and send your picture. The length of the transmission should not exceed 40 seconds, containing call sign and report. Please don't send a full picture because this will take too much time.

Example 2:
3B6RF transmits a picture of 40 seconds length with incorporated call sign HB9EAX answers with his suffix AX. More details can be found on our home page http://www.Agalega2000.ch

Propagation
Extensive propagation studies have been carried out which will allow us to become aware of all possible openings. The outcome of these studies can be found on our homepage www.Agalega2000.ch . They show the times of band openings. Gray line charts are also contained and show the small windows of band openings on 40m, 80m and 160m. A special link connects to an excellent propagation tool http://www.agtim.ch/Java/HFmapViewer/3b6.html. OM Andre HB9BIG the author of these propagation maps.

Frequency plan
As far as possible we will stick to our frequency plan. That will be maintained, as long as our TX frequency is as free from QRM as possible. Modifications of our band plan will be published on our home page http://www.Agalega2000.ch. Stations who don't have an Internet link please see our attached frequency plan.

Police men
We didn't elect so called BAPO's (band police man). Anyway they will become active with their own justification and they will interfere with efficient operating. In the worst case they will make operating impossible. In this case 3B6RF will shift it's TX frequency. If, suddenly 3B6RF cannot be copied any more please look 1 kHz (CW) or 2 kHz (SSB) up or down!!

Pilots
The following pilot stations are active for 3B6RF: HB9DLE, Sigi, Europe and pilot coordinator: hb9dle@uska.ch
K6GNX, Bill, USA bavery@telemetry.com.
JA3LDH, Yasu, Japan: ja3ldh@tcct.zaq.ne.jp
PT7BI, Daniel, South America: mdmassun@fortalnet.com.br

These stations will handle all public relations and the feed back from the HAM community world wide.

They will report to us, on how our expedition is being judged and suggest what improvements we may be able to make. This input is very important to us, because this will be our only feed back about signal strength, possible band openings and other suggestions. Communications to and from our pilots will be via Inmarsat satellite. The crew will read these inputs on our notice board.

QSL
QSLs can be sent via the bureau or directly to:

Ambrosi Fluetsch, HB9AGH
Lerchenweg 29
CH 8046 Zurich
Switzerland

Or to HB9AGH via the QSL bureau

USA only via N3SL
Steve & Kimberly Larson
22 N. Hidden Acres Drive
Sioux City, Iowa 51108

Please include a self-addressed envelope in order to keep QSL'ing fees to a minimum. Don't use airmail envelopes and don't mark your return envelope via airmail. Surface mail to USA / Canada, Europe and Japan goes by air anyway ! QSL requests with insufficient or without IRC/$ will be answered via the bureau. For instance SAE airmail with 1 IRC or 1$ will be sent via the bureau. Please be aware of the fact that postal fees from Switzerland to outside Europe for a 20 g letter (2 QSLs) requires 2 IRCs or 2$

Log search
During and after our expedition one can check whether and on which band your call is contained in the 3B6RF log. Whenever possible the log will be updated every 24 hours. Our logs will be forwarded via INMARSAT to our head pilot Sigi HB9DLE. Afterwards, Markus, HB9ZFL transfers the log data to our home page. It is our sincere hope that the DX community benefits from this service and that it helps to prevent dupes. Please note that one minute via INMARSAT costs us 6US$!!
