St Maarten, PJ8 / St. Martin, FS. Update Roger N4CZ writes; 6 m gets my
priority whenever it is open for DX. Even during CQWW, if I find that 6
is open to Europe I'll stop the contest and go to 6 m. I'll be putting
up a 6 m beam at each location so I only need to carry my IC-746 from
one side of the island to the other to operate as FS/ or PJ8/. It looks
like the solar flux will be above 200 soon after I arrive ... I've got
my fingers crossed! 73 Roger, N4CZ.
Comoros, D6. From the second bulletin, with news of our forthcoming
D68C DX-pedition to the Comoros. Firstly, many of you will have heard
Don G3OZF operating as D68/G3OZF while on a survey trip for the D68C
operation. Don did some invaluable work in getting everything lined up
for our operation, and also reported that the pile-ups were huge, de-
spite the fact that he was running barefoot to a simple vertical. The
D68C Web Page is now up and running, and looking great. Check the site
at www.dxbands.com/comoros Six Metres. We will be making a major effort
on 6 metres with two stacked 5 element beams located very close to the
sea with an excellent take-off to all parts of the world. Mike G3SED,
Kazu JA1RJU and Rob PE9PE are all six metre specialists. We hope for
great results on the magic band. New Team Members, since the last bul-
letin, the following have joined the DXpedition team: Tim G4VXE, a
technology wizz, Yoichi JP1NWZ, an all-rounder, and Rob PE9PE. Rob will
be especially welcome to 6 metre, VHF and satellite operators. The ex-
pedition will take place over the period of roughly 8th to 28th Febru-
ary 2001. Don Field G3XTT, NK1G g3xtt@lineone.net D68C Publicity Off.

Uganda, 5X. Hi All Just got back from 2 weeks in the UK so am back
watching 50.110. Have a suggestion to make - if any of you up there in
Europe hear 5Z television carriers suggest that may be a good indica-
tion of a possible opening to 5X ( - pls note propogation to ZS or 7Q
etc means little as far as opening to KJ60 goes) then you might like to
try sending me an SMS by e-mail to my mobile phone and if I am around I
will do my best to get near the radio. You can do this by sending an
e-mail to: 077700010@mtnconnect.co.ug Worth a try anyway. Graham 5X1GS

Agalega 3B6RF Bulletin NR. 9 "We have to postpone" Our landing permit
for Agalega was cancelled, due to unexpected elections in Mauritius
which took place middle of September. Officials of the new Mauritius
Government have asked us to postpone the expedition for 2 to 3 weeks.
This for security reasons. This creates severe difficulties to us as
there are only two regular ships per year heading to 3B6. There is
only a ship available beginning of October and another one beginning
of May. Furthermore the time is too short to organise another ship and
in addition to that it would be far out of our budget. The ship which
we have chartered for our return from 3B6 to 3B8 costs us US $ 30,000
Also most of the members could not extend or change their leave /
holidays. This absolutely unexpected situation is a real shock, as
everything was prepared professionally, 2 tons of equipment are cu-
stoms cleared at the airport and we were ready to go. But I'm very ple-
ased to inform you that in spite of this fact the existing crew is
still highly motivated to work for the postponed expedition in May 2001
Unfortunately, probably not all of todady's crew members may partici-
pate in May 2001. In connection with the postponement the following
actions were/are necessary: Cancellation of airline tickets, Cancella-
tion of the air freight and get out the equipment of Swiss customs,
Found stores for the equipment for a period of 6 months, Transport of
the equipment to this store, Ship YAESU equipment back to Germany,
Ship antennas back to USA, Inform the DX community, Inform all the
sponsors, motivating then not to withdraw their donation and so on and
so on ! We of course shall continue with our open and comprehensive
information policy and are convinced to carry out a successful 3B6 ex-
pedition in May 2001. We shall publish, as already done, a monthly
bulletin to inform the world-wide dx community about the latest news.
The newest information you will find of course also on our website
