VP6/D, DUCIE ISLAND (Update)
Carsten, DL6LAU, Teamleader, reports that the team has been very busy "behind
the scene" for the last weeks and some things have changed or happened. To
summarize, the team has agreed to extend the duration of the DXpedition (making
them grab even deeper into their pockets). The team will depart from Gambier
Island onboard Braveheart on Tuesday, February 5th, 2008, around 1500 local
time. If there are normal weather conditions, the voyage to Pitcairn will take
about 36 hours. They'll spend some hours on Pitcairn before they make another 36
hours trip to Ducie. They hope to arrive at Ducie at dawn on the 9th of
February. If the weather is good, they hope to have all the equipment up and
running in 24 hours. The plan is to be on the air for 19 days (until February
28th). Operators Pertti/OH2PM and Krassy/K1LZ can not make it this trip, but
they have added some more operators since the announcement in Dayton.
Operators as of today includes: DJ8NK, DL3DXX, DL6LAU, DL8LAS, K3NA, OH2BH,
SP3DOI, SP5XVY, UA3AB and WA6CDR. Three more operators will be announced very
soon. Carsten states, "But the operating team can only be as good as the guys
doing a lot of things behind the scenes at home and we are very thankful to have
JA1BK as our advisor in the team thank you so much Kan! DF6QV, DJ2YA and OH1JT
form our Antenna Engineering Team, DL1MGB is our webmaster, GU4YOX is the
Electrical Team Manager and VP6MW is the liaison on Pitcairn more to be
announced very soon too."
The team has decided to have seven stations up and running (all Elecraft K3
transceivers with ACOM amps). For 160m, they will have two phased verticals
pointing towards Europe (and the U.S.), they will use one vertical for the other
areas. On 80m, they will have two 4-Squares antennas. On 40/30m, they will also
have 4-Squares, while 20-10m will have phased vertical dipoles. The team is
still in need for donations since the budget for this operation is well over
200,000 USDs. For more details on how to donate and an unedited report by
Carsten, please visit the VP6DX Web page at:

My 1st QSO was on 3rd June 2002 with SK0TM on 14 MHz CW, and the last QSO was on
27th June 2007 with F2FP on 14 MHz CW. My station was in the apartment in the
center of Tirana, using 100w and only one antenna: G5RV 30 above the ground. All
contacts are on HF, CW and SSB (exept 300 QSOs on 6M).
During the period of 16-20th June 2007, I was QRV portable from the small place
Ksamil (JM99XS) on the south-west corner of Albania, close to the border with
Greece. A total of 1150 QSOs were made on 20m CW and SSB using 100W and Inverted
Vee dipole 9 m above the ground mounted on the balcony of the hotel.
1994 was my first radio activity from Albania, then working only for a few days
as ZA/Z32KV. I was host operator at ZA1B, ZA1MH, ZA1AJ in 1994-95; ZA1A, ZA1UT,
ZA/K7ZV in 2003; ZA/HA5NLI in 2004, ZA/SP5AEQ in 2006, and ZA/IW2JOP in 2007.
