Pacific Tour. JA8CDG, Ken, updates us on JA8BMK's, Toshi's, trip
to the Pacific starting later this month. Toshi will be QRV as
3D2WW from Fiji, T30XX from Western Kiribati and T31XX from Central

was reported earlier. Toshi was expected to arrive in Tarawa,
Western Kiribati today and should remain there for about 10 days
before departing for Central Kiribati (T31). That trip will take
about 5-6 days by ship. Activity is expected on 1.8 to 50 MHz on
CW, SSB, RTTY and PSK31. There will be no online logs. QSL all
via his home call direct only. Donations can also be sent to JA8BMK.

Hi Andy, I will be using a Icom ic706MK2G, power will be 100 watts
6-80m, no amp this trip. We have no planned schedule at this time
where Bill W4WV (KG4WV) and I will share the antennas. There is
a Force 12 triband beam 10,15,20 and wire antennas for 40-160.
I will setup a 4 element quad beam for 6. The information for
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba is listed below: Grid FK29kv CQ Zone 8
ITU Zone 11 IOTA NA-015. I hope that the information helps.

N3NBT/p plan to be qrv in the Pennsylvania QSO Party 2008
I plan on trying to get on 6 FM. I will be in Sullivan County
on top of a mountain outside LaPorte, PA. I should have a pretty
good location, but I will only be running perhaps 30 watts to
a ground plane antenna made from a mobile antenna. Not sure what
frequency I will be on, perhaps 52.525. Bob & Jack N3NBT & N3BQB
