3B7, ST. BRANDON. The 3B7C team is now active from Isle du Sud, St.
Brandon (AF-015). It seems the team arrived on the island on September
5th, apparently the boat trip wasn't very pleasant due to high seas, but
activity did not start until around 2000z, September 7th. Here are the
following suggested frequencies:
CW - 1822, 3502, 7002, 10102, 14022, 18072, 21022, 24892 and 28022
SSB - 1842, 3795, 7052, 14145, 18145, 21295, 24945 and 28495
RTTY - 3570, 7035, 10137, 14085, 18100, 21085, 24920 and 28075

The 3B7C team plans to have 12 stations on the air. There will be a
station on every band from 160-6 meters with second stations on 80 and
20 meters so they can operate on CW and SSB at the same time. This should
be a fun and easy operation to work anywhere. Activity is expected to last
until September 24th. The 3B7C Web page is available at:

ARRL Outgoing QSL Service Changes (Bill Moore, NC1L): "Effective
September 6th, 2007, the ARRL Outgoing QSL Service will no longer
accept QSL cards for shipment to HH (Haiti) and 9L (Sierra Leone)."

The ARRL Incoming QSL Service and 1X1 Callsigns (Bill Moore, NC1L):
"When sending cards to confirm 1X1 callsigns, the ARRL QSL Service
requests you note somewhere on the card the person who 'requesitioned'
the callsign. This will expedite routing to the proper station and may
result in quicker processing of cards handled through the ARRL US
Incoming Bureaus. To locate the person responsible for a 1X1 callsign,
please visit this site: http://www.ncvec.org/1x1.php
Enter the 1X1 callsign. When the screen appears, select the 1X1 callsign
based on the event you worked. Click 'Details' on the right-side of the
page to determine the person responsible for the operation.
'See Requesitioned by'
Remember, callsigns may be issued more than once, so following the above
procedure will allow the QSL Service to direct it to the proper person.
Direct any questions to "

the time to practice a little more. He also plans to operate digital modes
(PSK31, RTTY) with a Microham interface. Alain also brought with him a beam

OH0Z PIRATE ALERT. Juha, OH9MM, sent out the following press release:
"Since 27 June 2007 there has been a lot of pirate activity. Most of the
pirate activity has been on 10MHZ cw. Primetime for pirate has been so far
around 17Z.
Luckily the pirate has been very rude (operating quite long periods). It
has been relatively easy to trace. Most of the signals have been sent from
the same area. However, we need some more data to contact the telecommuni-
cation authorities. Only groups of voluntary people across Europe have
identified the antenna directions so far. Even at this point OH0Z –team
would like to thank them for good co-operation! In the futu if the
pirate keeps on going, please also inform the antenna direction in the
spot. Just a reminder, our station is located in square locator JP90…
We have also built an automatic system to monitor the use of OH0Z call.
Practically we are receiving OH0Z spots directly to our mobile phones. We
can also turn this system off, please no kidding with cluster spots!
Untill further information OH0Z is now totally QRT on 10MHZ. All the
future activations on 10MHZ can now be claimed as pirate activations.
OH0Z has been active on 10MHZ only two times this year:
26 – 27. May 2007 operated by OH3BHL
24 – 26. Jun 2007 operated by OH9MM
Before sending any qsl please check log search at our page www.oh0z.net.
It contains all 10mhz contacts. We were on the island last weekend
preparing new antennas for the upcoming contest season (1-2 September). Few
qso’s were made on 80m, 20m and 17m (log seach will be updated soon). No
activity on 10Mhz…
Normally we are active during contests. Some “warm up” qso’s before
and after the tests. Holiday style operations may occur, but they are very
rare! In normal situations we are not active during the week. We are also
trying to publish our activities in advance in major bulletins as much as
possible!
Please notice that we are also renting the OH0Z place with certain terms.
There is no need to operate with our call sign in your home.
On behalf of RadioSporting Team (OH0Z).... Juha Valimaki, OH9MM"
ADDED NOTE: OH0Z will be on for both modes of the SAC Scandinavian
Contest, September 15-16th (CW) and September 22-23rd (SSB), 80-10M.
OH1JT will be the operator, SOAB in CW, and OH1RX + OH9MM (maybe also
others) M/S in SSB. QSL via W0MM. Special prefix may also be used.

P29, PAPUA NEW GUINEA (New IOTAs). Operators Luis/CT1AGF, Derek/G3KHZ,
Steve/G4EDG and Hans/SM6CVX together with two non-ham friends will make
the journey by chartered boat from Buka Island on September 22nd to
Nukumanu Island (OC-284p). They should be active as P29VCX from Nukumanu
for about 6 days beginning September 23rd. The plan is then to sail to
Takuu Island (OC-283p) and operate using the callsign P29NI from there for
6 days starting about September 30th. Finally, if time permits, they will
sail to Kilinalau Island (OC-256, aka Tulun Islands) and operate from there
for a few days, possibly as P29VLR, between October 6-9th before returning
to Buka. The dates may vary a little depending on the local weather. They
expect to operate on all bands, including 160 and 80 meters, with possibly
3-4 stations, two amplifiers, verticals and a multiband dipole. Their
plan is to run 4 stations simultaneously from 2 sites on each island.
This should allow simultaneous operation from two stations on the same
band using different modes. Two stations will use 500w linears and two
stations will use 100w. QSL P29NI via G3KHZ. QSL P29VCX and the Kilinalau
Island operation via SM6CVX. The group is looking for support from the ham
community. More details and updates are available on their Web page at:
