T33 - In March or April 2004 an international team of about 15 well known
operators, including most of the TI9M group, will be active as T33C
from Banaba (OC-018) for a period of about 12 days. The QSL manager
will be announced at a later date. The main emphasis of this
DXpedition will be to work Europe on all bands, especially on the
low-bands. The team will use 5 stations around the clock. When the
DX window to Europe is not open, the team will focus on all other
areas of the world. Operations will take place on 160-6 metres CW,
SSB, RTTY, PSK and some SSTV with linear amplifiers available, when
needed. This will be a completely self supporting DXpedition, since
little of the infrastructure of Banaba is left. All food, water,
medical support, radios, antennas and electrical power equipment
must be brought in by boat. The web site for the DXpedition is at
http://www.dx-pedition.de/banaba2004, and it will be updated as
frequently as things progress. [TNX N4CD]
