Two Press Releases
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Press Release #1
For Immediate Release
September 30, 2010
From Bob Allphin, K4UEE
Saba 2010 DXpedition leader (PJ6A)
The Saba 2010 team has been granted the callsign PJ6A. The sea container
arrives on Saba today and all off-island preparations for the activation
of Saba are complete.
Two teams, comprised mostly of members of the Southeastern DX Club
(SEDXC) and K5D team members will operate over a two-week period beginning
October 10, 2010, and ceasing operations the evening of October 22, 2010.
Our two QTHs are approximately 500 ft above the sea with a clear shot to
the main target areas of ASIA, NA and EU. Combine these QTHs and with
excellent operators and we believe DXers worldwide will have a great
chance of making QSOs for a brand new DXCC entity.
Please visit our website (www.saba2010.com or www.pj6a.com) often, as we
will be updating periodically. It is our intent to upload logs twice daily
for QSO look-up! LOTW will be uploaded Jan 1, 2011. QSL via N4NX or
Online QSL Request System (OQRS).
Please note: this operation is entirely self-supporting. The operators
themselves will bear all the costs and provide their personal equipment
for the stations and antennas.

Press Release #2
JOINT PRESS RELEASE
Date: Sept. 30, 2010
From: DXpedition leaders/teams participating in DXpeditions to new DXCC
entities beginning 10-10-10
To: ALL interested DXers worldwide
Due to the unprecedented number of potential new DXCC entities and
numerous planned DXpeditions commencing 10-10-10, we felt it was prudent
to establish a Band Plan to try to minimize interference between DX-
peditions and their pileups. The following Band Plan is the result of
discussions that have been ongoing for several weeks. It is a Plan....how-
ever, without the cooperation of DXers, the plan will not work. It is
extremely important that DXers call DXpeditions only within the specified
frequency ranges. If you do not, you will not work the station you are
calling and you will likely interfere with another DXpedition on another
Island. This will require cooperation and discipline.
Success of this plan also requires that DXers help spread the information
about the Band Plan to their fellow DXers and DX Clubs. WE NEED YOUR HELP!
But if we work together, we will be able to get many, many DXers into our
logs!
Thanks for your cooperation!
