Del blog de EA1CS veo que miembros del Virginia Dx Century Club N4SIA, K4CQW, K4MIL y W4VW estarán activos desde Guantánamo del 5 al 19 de otubre 2010 como KG4AS, KG4QW, KG4SS y KG4VW (respectivamente) de 160 a 6 mts en Cw , ssb y Rtty.
Lástima que no hayan estado activos en la temporada de esporádicas pues en octubre será prácticamente imposible trabajarlos desde Europa. Quizás las estaciones de sudamerica puedan trabajarlo por TEP-F2.

** New DXCC activation of PJ4, Bonaire **
The end of a country - The Netherlands Antilles With a 99% certainty, many things are about to change for the people and all radio amateurs in the Netherlands Antilles. On October 10, 2010 the Netherlands Antilles will cease to exist as a country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the islands will emerge with several new statuses: * St. Maarten and Curaçao will become an independent country within the Kingdom and will be granted the same status that Aruba attained in 1986. * Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius (also called BES islands) will be given the status of a public body (a kind of special municipality) in the Netherlands and will therefore fall directly under Dutch rule... So very soon, 2 DXCC entities will be disappearing, but 4 DXCC will come back!Press Release: 10-10-2010, Date: 11 August, 2010 via OPDX #972.1 [MMMonVHF Newsletter 2010-08-19]
India gets 6m again
Amateur Radio operators from India have once again been allocated use on 6 meters. The new allocation on 50-54 MHz includes activity on the following modes: F1B, F2B, F3E and F3C. "We will be trying to get clarifications on why A1A and J3E are missing but more importantly J2B for AFSK modes", says VU2PTT, Prasad. VU operators with General Class license can now operate with 400 watts on HF, which is up from the previous 150 watt limit. (The Daily DX via anonymous source) [OZ6OM dx news]
Los radioaficionados de India vuelven a tener permiso para usar los 6 metros. La nueva asignación incluye de 50 a 54 MHz con los siguientes modos F1B, F2B, F3E y F3C. VU2PTT informa que están aclarando con su PTT porqué no han aparecido los modos A1A y J3E así como el J2B para modalidades AFSK. Seguramente tendremos que esperar al año próximo para trabajar este pais pues las condiciones actuales hacen que sea prácticamente imposible contactarlo hasta que vuelvan aperturas multisalto de esporádica E. Por capa F solo será posible durante el máximo de este ciclo solar (2013?).

TEP en 6 metros y más expediciones
Ayer por la tarde me sorprendió escuchar muy fuerte la señal de TV de Camerún en 48.2497 MHz, en algunos momentos por encima de s9+10 dB. A las 19.30 se escuchaba bien la baliza 9Q1D/B en 50.0212 MHz, señal 529 típica de tep con flutter. La actividad solar sigue subiendo y vamos a tener pronto aperturas hacia Africa casi a diario que nos permitirán ampliar la lista del dxcc, si hay actividad, claro.
Estos día está activo Tom, DL2RUM desde Ruanda, con el indicativo 9X0TL. Ayer estuvo qrv pero no se le escuchó por aquí. Esperemos que se le pueda trabajar antes de que termine su estancia es este difícil pais en 6m.
En los boletines de DX que recibo veo que cada vez más se incorpora la banda de 6m. Los últimos que he visto son:

PALAU, T8. Operators Takio, JH3QFL and Haruki, JH3KEA will be active as T88TB and T88KH, respectively, from September 19 to 22. Activity will be on 80-6 meters using CW, SSB and RTTY. QSL direct to their home call sign or via the bureau.
425 DX News #1006
PJ4 - A multi-national team of 15-20 operators is being formed to be active from Bonaire on 10-24 October "in anticipation of the new DXCC status on 10 October 2010". The current list of operators includes DJ8NK, DL9USA, K6AM, N0VD, PA3GVI, PA8A, PA8F, PE2KY, PE2MC, PG4M, PJ4GT, PJ4LS, PJ4NX, W0LSD, W4PA and WP3UX. They plan to be QRV on 160-10 metres SSB, CW and digital modes from six locations around the island. "Due to the time of year, 6 meters will not likely produce much activity", they say, "but it will be a consideration". The group has been granted use of Radio Netherlands relay station's "impressive aerial park, which provides up to 21 dBd gain, during their dead hours", i.e. between 12.30 and 18.30 UTC on a daily basis. They expect to utilize this opportunity on 30, 20, 15 and 17 metres. All of the QSOs will be confirmed automatically via the bureau through the services of Global QSL. Further information, updates and log search will be published on the expedition's website (www.bonaire2010.com). [TNX N0VD]

currently seeking sponsors/supporters for this DXpedition. It looks good that as well a MS Station can be setup on 2 Meter! SOURCE: tnx to Fred, IK7JWX direct to MMMonVHF.
** 3D2, FIJI (Possibly Rotuma [3D2/R]) on HF and 50 MHz **
Seb, F8IJV, is making plans to be in Fiji during 2011 in October (dates are not final yet). Activity will be limited to his free time (this will not be a DXpedition). He has received his license and will use the callsign 3D2JV. Seb will be active from the QTH of Tony, 3D2AG, on Liti Levu (OC-016). He plans to be active on 160-6 meters, mainly on SSB and FM on 10 meters, and possibly some Digital modes. Seb also plans to participate to the 2011 CQWW DX SSB Contest while there. If it is possible he may go to Rotuma by plane, if it is not too expensive. He would like to operate a few days from there. The equipment to be used will be an Yaesu FT-450, 5 band Spiderbeam, and three vertical antennas for the 160/80/40m. bands (possibly a K9AY for reception). QSL via his home callsign, by the Bureau or direct, and also LoTW. More details will be forth coming. SOURCE: Ohio/Penn DX Bulletin #970.
