3D2_r - Preparations for the large multi-national 3D2R DXpedition to Rotuma
[425DXN 1049] are going according to plan. The team will meet in
Suva (Fiji) on 22 September and depart for Rotuma on the 25th. They
expect to be QRV on 27 September and to complete the DXpedition on
7 October. 3D2R will be active on 160-10 metres CW, SSB, RTTY, PSK
and SSTV, plus 6 and 2m EME, with a focus on Europe and Africa when
propagation permits. QSL via YT1AD and LoTW (logs to be uploaded
some six months after the expedition). Further information -
including log search (to be updated on a daily basis), suggested
frequencies and details on how contribute to this expensive project
- can be found at www.yt1ad.info/3d2r/index.html
4W - The bulk of the equipment, including the linear amplifiers, the
Titanex V160E vertical, Hexbeam and other antennas, left Darwin,
Australia, on 6 September. It has all arrived safely in Dili,
Timor-Leste, and is now awaiting the arrival of the 4W6A team next
week.
Due to a late change of airline timetable, 9M6DXX and 9M6XRO will
not now arrive in Dili before the afternoon of 16 September. The
chartered boat taking the team and the equipment to Atauro
Island has therefore been rescheduled to later that afternoon. It
is likely that only one or two stations will be on the air that
day, as the team will run out of daylight before all the antennas
can be erected. The remainder of the antenna work will commence at
first light the following morning (approximately 21.15 UTC on 16
September) and 4W6A should be fully operational by the morning
(UTC) of 17 September.
4W6A will be QRV on all bands 10 to 160 metres, using CW, SSB and
RTTY with up to four stations simultaneously. Col, MM0NDX, is the
pilot for 4W6A and is responsible for providing feedback to the
team. He may be contacted at dxer59[@]gmail.com. QSL via M0URX,
direct or bureau (http://m0urx.com/oqrs). The entire log will be
uploaded to LoTW as quickly as possible after the end of the
operation or, if possible, also during the DXpedition. Log search
and further information can be found at www.4w6a.com [TNX 9M6DXX]

DX MAGAZINE MOST WANTED SURVEY ---> The DX Magazine's annual Most Wanted
Survey is being conducted now through 15 October. The survey form is
available at www.dxpub.com/dx_survey2011.html (please note that it is not a
complete list of all DXCC Entities: if you need something that is not
listed, simply use the "Additions or Comments" space at the end of the
form). The ST0R confirmations are not expected to be available before the
deadline for the new Entity to be included in this survey, so South Sudan
is not on the form this time.
The overall results will be published in the January-February 2012 issue of
The DX Magazine, and the world-wide results will be posted to the web site
around 15 January 2012 as well. The breakdown by mode/Low Bands will be
published in the March-April 2012 issue of the magazine.
IARU REGION 1 HF BAND PLAN ---> The 22nd General Conference of IARU Region
1, held at Sun City (South Africa) on 13-19 August, made some changes to
the Region 1 HF Band Plan. On 40 metres the CW contest preferred segment
was withdrawn, and four new 10m FM Repeater channels were introduced which
required a shift of the 10m FM Simplex channels. The revised Band Plan can
be found at www.iaru-r1.org
