PJ5J – Sint Eustatius
Isao, JH1ROJ provides the following info:
We are pleased to announce that we will be active from PJ5, the Island of Sint Eustatius known as “Statia or Statius” (IOTA NA-145) in early December, 2012. The team consists of seven JA operators, and will be on the Island between November 30 and December 12.
Special callsign PJ5J has been granted for use during the entire operation and we will participate in some part of the ARRL 10M Contest and other contests during the period. We will operate at least 1 station 24 hours, and another one or two stations will operate simultaneously according to band opens. Since PJ5 became new entity, not many contacts were made on top band, and with AS/JA stations for the other bands, thus we would like to emphasize low bands especially on 160m, and stations of AS/JA.
We have reserved “Keli Keli House” from which Polish team operated last year and the year before (special tnx to Wlodek/SP6EQZ). The house is located on the slope of volcano “The Quill” and has a clear view in the direction of AS/NA/EU.
Our team members are:
Takayuki AE6AU/ JA1MZL (Team leader)
Yutaka N1GO/JJ1LIB
Naoki NY6X/JN1RVS
Hideyuki KG4PPO/JJ1CBY
Katsu AH6G/JA1DXA
Toshihiko AH6PW/JN1HOW
Isao KG8XV/JH1ROJ
Frequency: 160m-10m.
Modes: SSB/CW/Digital.
Equipment: Two sets of TR/X with 500W amplifier.
One TR/X barefoot.
Antennas: Verticals for low bands with beverage.
Spiderbeam for higher bands.
We are proud to introduce our QSL manager will be Nao JA1HGY. Logs will be updated to the ClubLog daily and LoTW after the operation. To make it easy for QSLing, OQRS will be ready soon.
See you on the air!
PT0S – St Peter and St Paul Rocks
We are scheduled to sail for St. Peter and St. Paul Rocks the evening of Nov 05 (maybe early Nov 06). We expect to arrive on the rocks the morning of Nov 09. We hope to raise the main station during the day and be on 160m in the evening.
Our plan is to TX somewhere around 1816.5 kHz and listen up 2 to 5 for EU and NA, and listen for JA-s between 1822 and 1825. PT0S will be very challenging for JA and other Asian stations. They will have to work through a very long path, close to the Auroral region, and over (really, under) much stronger EU signals. To give the JA-s a chance, EU and NA stations please do not call us between 1822 and 1825. Your consideration will be much appreciated.
We will be located on the main rock, called Belmonte, where we expect very high levels of noise from the various scientific equipment. We are planning to build two remote RX antennas on one of the remote rocks (called Cabral) and run the coax and control cables under water. These RX antennas should be up by the 11th or 12th of November. We hope they will improve our ability to copy weak signals.
June 28, 2012 — The Araucaria DX Group, in conjunction with the TX3A Team, is pleased to announce a DXpedition to St. Peter and St. Paul Rocks, PY0S, under the call sign PT0S. The DXpedition will take place approx November 10-22, 2012. PT0S website.
There has been an official ban on Amateur Radio activities from PY0S. Although the ban, which was created for environmental and safety reasons, remains in place, the Araucaria DX Group was given a special permit by Brazil’s SECIRM (Secretaria da Comissao Interministerial para Os Recursos do Mar), the Brazilian Navy, Ministry of Environment and LABRE to conduct a two week long operation.
The operation will have a strong low band focus. There will be a dedicated 160 meter station operating on 160 meters from sunset to sunrise. A second station will be on 80 and 40 meters at night. During the day we will operate two stations on the higher bands — and 6 meters — based on conditions. RTTY will also be supported.
The DXpedition’s goal is to give this rare and difficult entity to as many amateurs as possible, taking maximum advantage of this unique opportunity. The group will be using newly designed RX antennas and receiving equipment to allow small and QRP stations to work PT0S on all bands, but especially on 80 and 160 meters.
All QSOs will be loaded onto LoTW within 36 hours of taking place.
Operators will be Fred Carvalho PY2XB (PY2XB/PY0F, PQ0F, VP5/PY2XB, 8P9XB), Peter Sprengel PP5XX/PY5CC (PY0FM, PW0T, HK0NA). Tomi Pekarik, HA7RY and George Wallner, AA7JV. Due to environmental considerations, we have been limited to four operators.
