The Jan Mayen DXpedition set between July 6-14th, 2011 and led by Stan, SQ8X, has announced their group callsign will be JX7VPA. Currently, the team consists of: Stan/SQ8X (team leader), Pete/SQ9DIE, Vicky/SV2KBS, Decan/EI6FR, Leszek/NI1L, Tomek/SQ9C,
Bernie/HB9ASZ, Pekka/OH2TA and Deon/K6WH Deon. The group plans to be on the air for 8 days with 2-3 stations. Stan also states, "Due to polar summer season at Jan Mayen Island with broad daylight 24/7 the team will not operate on 160-80 meters ? those bands will be totally dead at that time. The DXpedition will focus on 30-6 m. and our main modes will be CW and RTTY/PSK, with some SSB if conditions will be good enough to operate as much as we wish to.
The team will also check conditions on the 40m band, but the band may also be not usable at that time of the year. The team will have a professional TV crew on board that will prepare a broadcast documentary about the project and the island." Updated details such as operators and QSL route will be available soon on the following Web page (currently under construction) at:
