3DA, SWAZILAND (Ops Needed)
Frosty, K5LBU, is once again looking to put together a team of operators to do the CQWW DX SSB Contest in October 2010 from Swaziland. This would be a 10 or 15 day operation with the contest in the middle. It would be possible to do a Multi-2 set up, but he doesn't think they could do a Multi-Multi operation. He would like to hear from anyone that might like to go. He plans to use one callsign for the contest and the rest of the time you can operate with your own 3DA0 callsign. His E-mail address is: frosty1@pdq.net

4U_ITU, ITU HQ
Gerald Lander, HB9AJU, reports (edited) "that the callsign 4U1ITU will be put on the air only very seldom in the upcoming future. The restricted activities are the result of a general assembly of the Inter- national Amateur Radio Clubs (IARC) in May. Several reasons led to this decision including increased security levels at the ITU headquarters, a changed recognition of amateur radio in international communication and last but not least, 4U1ITU does not belonging to the most wanted countries list anymore. The IARC decided to focus their activities on special modes or conference delegates and to limit all overnight and weekend activities as much as possible. Finally the new antennas were installed on top of the Varembe building." You can see them at:

NA-230. Cezar, VE3LYC, will attempt his most difficult operation to date: activating for the first time the Ottawa Islands (IOTA NA-230) group in Hudson Bay. Name of the specific island and exact dates are not available at this time, but they will be announced a few days in advance of the operation. Cezar seeks to be on the air for 3 full days during the period July 25th to August 10th using the callsign VY0O. Ottawa Islands are 12-14 hours away from shore and transportation requires a large boat. This is not a leisure trip. Traditionally, unstable weather patterns, unknown local landing conditions, high seas, the presence of ice chunks in the Bay, potential presence of polar bears (since islands are cooled by cold winds in summer), and other logistical aspects make this trip extremely challenging.

Cezar will work towards a successful attempt but wants to convey to the island chasers that this operation may be aborted as safety comes first. At this time Cezar seeks group and individual donors who understand and appreciate the difficult and expensive task ahead and are willing to be part of this effort. All those who will contribute financially will be acknowledged. He mentions that past support from EU stations has been dis- proportionate with their QSO demand (45% of QSOs but only 25% support for VY0A), but hopes that this situation will improve. Direct and bureau QSL instructions will be announced in due course. He requests, "I am desperately trying to find support for this operation. Any help will be so much appreciated."

IS0, SARDINIA (EU-024)
Operators Rastislav/OM3BH, Jozef/OM3GI, Jozef/OM3NA and Tibor/OM3RM will be active as IS0/OM8A during the RSGB IOTA Contest (July 25-26th) as a Single-Op(???)/All-Band/High-Power/DXpedition entry. QSL via OM2VL.

Howard is expected to be active on other bands when 6m is quiet, especially on 17 meters. QSL via his home callsign.

SPECIAL ADDED NOTES (by editor KB8NW): CONGRATULATIONS to my good friend,
"BIG" Cleveland Indians fan and propagation guru Lee Wical (KH6BZF) and
Sandra Merrick on their marriage in January of this year. Your editor
(and XYL) attended a special gathering this past weekend where both Lee
and Sandy renewed their vows amongst family, friends and their classmates
during a "1952 Mentor Class Reunion" on a ranch in Leroy Township, Ohio.

Everyone had a great time with plenty of eats and congratulated/wished
Lee and Sandy the best. Your editor has been communicating with Lee for
many years via the InterNet, and this was the first time I got to meet
him. It was a real pleasure to meet him and his new wife. Lee is an Ohio
native and was lucky as a young boy to be picked as a runner-up batboy
during the 1948 World Series (which was last time the Cleveland Indians
were World Champions). Lee plans to live in Hawaii during the winter
and in Ohio on Sandy's ranch during the summer. He is currently active
as KH6BZF/8. Also, look for Lee to be active very soon from Manitoulin
Island (CISA ON-001), in Ontario, Canada.

SPECIAL EVENTS (Moon Landing Celebration!)
In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the first manned moon landing, the special event callsign VE3MOON will be operating from July 14-27th. They will be operating satellites from the Canada Museum of Science and Technology during much of this period, usually between 1400-2000z. They will also be working HF from various locations throughout the duration of the event. Currently, they do not have a set schedule, but they do have multiple radios and operators. Popular satellites among their operators are AO-51, SO-50, VO-52, FO-29, and the ISS. There will be a QSL card for this special call. QSL management is through VE3OIJ.

Look for the special callsign K5E to be active on AO-7 at 1332z, July 16th, and will remain active on the FM and CW/SSB satellites, NO-44 (if operational) and the ISS in packet or voice (if either system is active) through 1650z on July 24th. Those dates and times coincide with the duration of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon which began 40 years ago next Thursday, July 16th. K5E seemed the perfect choice for a special event callsign to celebrate the 40th anniversary of "one small step for man .... one giant leap for mankind."
K - the 11th letter of the alphabet.
5 - the call district of Houston, location of Apollo 11 Mission Control.
E - Eagle, the Apollo 11 lunar module.
During the satellite passes, the operator will use the special callsign and will ID as "Kilo 5 Eagle". Glade Schroeter, WA3MVQ, is donating high-quality full-color QSL cards which will be used to confirm all contacts with K5E. Stations wishing to confirm will send their request to Tim, N3TL, with an SASE. The card will be standard QSL size and a picture of the QSL card is expected to be posted on QRZ.com. Work K5E one time to claim a special QSL card. There will be no endorsements of any kind, and only one QSL will be issued per valid amateur callsign.
