General information.
Iceland, TF. The 6 m beacon TF3SIX on 50.057 MHz got a new QTH Jan. 12
it is now just outside of Reykjavik in HP94BC. The beacon is sending
TF3SIX TF3SIX TF3SIX QTH HP94BC for ca. 25 sec. and then 6 sec. rest
until it start again. I am using Yeasu FT-690RII giving ca. 12w out on
CW in to 2.8 dBi GP so ERP is ca. 22W. This new QTH is on my working
place so I can take good care of it. 73's de TF3GW Tor tf3gw@amst.org

Mariana Isl., KH0. KH0/JI1EFP KH0/JQ1NGT JQ1NGT and JI1EFP expect to
be active from Saipan between February 16 and 19. They will be QRV as
KH0/JQ1NGT and KH0/JI1EFP on 6 through 160 meters on CW and SSB. The
two plan to participate in the ARRL CW DX Contest either as single ops
or as a multi-single. QSL via JQ1NGT, Kenji Sekine, 3-4-7 Honcyo,
Fukiage,369-0115 JAPAN. (QSP de SMIRK)
Wake Island, KH9. AC4G/KH9 Bruce, AC4G/V73CW, will operate from Wake
Island from February 9 through 27. He will be using AC4G/KH9 on all
bands with an attempt at 6 meters if he can get an antenna in time.
Bruce already has antennas on the island and will be using a Yaesu
FT-847 for SSB and CW. He'll be working on the island and will operate
in his spare time. Plans are to participate in the ARRL CW DX Contest
and the CQ WW SSB 160 Contest. You can also look for Bruce to be ac-
tive from Kwajalein Island as V73CW, the last week of January. QSL as
usual to AC4G, Bruce Smith,1056 Old Railroad Bed Road, Taft, TN 38488

Comoros, D6. Five Star DXers go to D68 - Bulletin No.4 From the fourth
bulletin, with news of our forthcoming D68C DXpedition to the Comoros
(active from about 8th to 28th February). Less than four weeks to go!
We are all looking forward to our expedition, and hope the DX world
will be looking out for us in force. We understand that our container
of equipment has now reached Mombasa in Kenya, and should be headed to
Moroni in the near future. Now we are working hard on the detailed
logistics of what happens when we get there! Just in case there should
be any doubt, this expedition will be one of the biggest ever! By the
way, according to the latest DX Magazine poll, D68 has moved up around
10 points in the rankings for each of the major areas of the world,
which reinforces our wish to make a big effort from the Comoros !
Preferred Operating Frequencies at 50 MHz - 50.102 CW, 50.145 SSB.
Also 6m beacon 50.090. We will nearly always work split frequency and
will regularly announce the frequencies on which we are listening. We
will only make contacts on our transmitting frequency during the last
few days of the DXpedition if the pile-ups have disappeared. Listen
to the operator carefully. Each has been briefed to give the D68C
callsign at least after every two QSOs and to announce the listening
frequencies every five QSOs. We will not work by numbers; we feel that
with good ears and equipment this is quite unnecessary. Sponsorship.
We are delighted to thank the UK Radiocommunications Agency (broadly
equivalent to FCC in the USA) who have joined the list of D68C spon-
sors, as have a number of prestigious DX Clubs and Foundations, along
with a number of individual sponsors. Full details appear on our Web
pages. Nevertheless, further sponsorship continues to be sought, espe-
cially from DX groups and Foundations, to help with the high cost of
shipping some 3 tonnes of equipment to D68, along with a number of
other logistical matters. We have now mailed our colour brochure to
over 150 DX Clubs. If you are involved with a DX Club which has not
received a copy, please contact Steve G4JVG (below). Sponsorship is
being co-ordinated by the following: US: Wes W3WL (blamboley@aol.com)
Japan: Taizo JA3AER (arakawa@sakuranet.co.jp) Rest of the World: Steve

be pleased to accept donations. Web Page. The D68C Web Page continues
to be updated with the latest news. To remind everyone, the URL is

rators YT1AD, YU1RL, YU1NR, YU1FW, YU7AV, YU6AO (YZ7AA), YS1RR, Z32AU
and Z32ZM are expected to operate from here from February 19-28 th.

the following suggested modes and frequencies: CW, 50105 SSB, 50125.

ting frequencies. Additional information will be given during opera-
tion time. QSL via YT1AD: Hrane Milosevic, 36206 Vitanovac, Yugoslavia

and your donations will be very helpful to make this operation a great
success and any small or big donations are welcome. Donations can be
sent to YS1RR: Raymundo Rodriguez, P.O. Box 32, San Salvador, El Sal-
vador or to VIPSAL 682, P.O. Box 02-5364, Miami, FL 33102-5364, USA.

six meter repeater working input freq is 51,150 output freq is 52,750

St. Pierre & Miquelon Isl. Is "FP" still badly needed in EU ? Or have
the FP8AA, N1JEZ and KA3Bb operations in the past looked after most of
you guys ? There is talk of something in late June, but nothing con-
crete yet. VE9AA Mike ve9aa@nbnet.nb.ca
Do You think FP is needed - send Mike an email to encurrage an FP ex-
pedition. Ed. OZ6OM Matt
Guantanemo Bay, KG4. & Costa Rica, TI. Ed Rodriguez, WP4O writes; I
will be doing some traveling in This Month.. I will be in Guantamo Bay
(KG4) and also portable TI6 (grid EJ89) I dont have the specific dates
But I will first get on 28.885 and anonunce That I am active from that
specific Country... This is a 50 /50 chance So thats why I will call
first on 885. GUD LUCK and HAPPY DXing de WP4O Ed.
Guantanemo Bay, KG4. & Costa Rica, TI. Aditional information from K2RTH
Bruce; Ed WP4O, who now resides in Miami (do not send his QSLs to Puer-
to Rico, will take long time), is leaving on business the 2nd week in
January for Gutanamo Bay and Costa Rica. He will be in KG4 the 2nd &
4th week of January, and the 3rd week of January in TI6. Ed hopes to
operate from the club station in KG4 and is bringing with him his new
Yaesu 817, 5 watt multiband radio, and a dipole antenna. Ed is going to
concentrate on six meters, any other activity will be incidental. Call
signs for both countries is not known at this time and all operation is
subject to his business duties coming first. This is not good time for
F2 but maybe some Es, and carribean is excellant location for Eu/NA
prop at any time. 73, Bruce K2RTH.
UN HQ. 4U1UN on 6 Meters on Wed Jan 3rd. Fritz DL4TT, Ken WB2AMU & I
visited 4U1UN to assess their 6 meter prospects. They do not have a 6m
radio or antenna but Ken was able to use their multi-band dipole with
his FT690 to make at least 1 cw 6m contact with Mario K2ZD. The loca-
tion is quite noisy but it's on the 40th floor on the top of the UN
building so location seems ideal for VHF/UHF if we can overcome the
noise. We hope to get a 6m radio for them & at least a small fixed yagi
on the roof for starters to give them a feel for 6m operations. We'll
let you know about future operations. Dave K2SIX. (QSP de SM7AED page)
Oman, A4. Tony Selmes A45ZN returned to the UK for his Christmas holi-
days on 14 December and will be returning to Oman on 6 January 2001.
