         Newsletter]
9J     - Peter, 9J2HN will be active as 9J2JOCV from  Lusaka,  Zambia  until
         31  December  to  celebrate  the  50th  anniversary  of  the  Japan
         Overseas Cooperation Volunteers programme. QSL via  JL1IHE,  direct
         only.
CO     - The T46BC team [425DXN 1266] will be active from Cayo  Santa  Maria
         (NA-204) on 22-25 August. QSL direct  to  IZ1GDB  (maildrop).  [TNX
         IZ1GDB]
CP     - Once again Antonio, EA5RM will be  working  on  a  non-governmental
         organization's  project  in  Bolivia  between  29  August  and   15
         September. He will be QRV as CP1XRM in his limited spare time  with
         a 100-watt solar-powered station and a vertical  antenna.  QSL  via
         EA5RM. [TNX DX Coffee]
E6     - All logistics arrangements are now complete for the E6GG  operation
         from Niue (OC-040) on 16-29 September [425DXN 1259].  All  antennas
         are complete and tested, as are  all  the  stations  and  computing
         equipment.  The  team  expects  some  limited  operation  from   15
         September, with all stations operational on the  16th.  There  will
         be four complete high power stations, which will be using  antennas
         at the water's edge and cliff-top  optimised  for  low  angle  high
         gain. They will also use a  beverage  directed  to  Europe  for  LF
         receiving. For RTTY they  will  deploy  multi-channel  receive,  so
         your best chance of an early  RTTY  QSO  is  to  choose  a  calling
         frequency and stay on that frequency  until  the  team  finds  you.
         RTTY is likely to be only on a maximum of two  bands.  The  website
         (www.e6gg.com) includes a propagation analysis. The  team  will  be
         listening  exclusively  for  Europe  during  the  relatively  short
         European openings on LF. Plans are to upload  logs  daily  to  Club
         Log and LoTW. QSL via G3TXF (please use the OQRS provided  by  Club
         Log for both direct and bureau cards). [TNX G3BJ]

         (the "Anatoliy Krasheninnikov") is due to leave on 23  August,  and
         the voyage could take 5-6 days or  more,  as  progress  depends  on
         weather and sea conditions. RT9K/0 is expected to be QRV for  about
         one week, with three stations on 40-10 metres CW, SSB  and  digital
         modes. QSL via RX9KM (logsearch and OQRS for RT9K/0 on  Club  Log).
