>>> THE NEW MAILING LIST OF 425 DX NEWS <<<
The 425 DX News mailing list has been down for a couple of months owing to
technical problems (too many subscribers!), but we are now glad to announce
that the new mailing list [425ENG] has been up and running since 19 January.
If you want to subscribe, please visit http://www.425dxn.org and follow the
step by step instructions.
Thank you for being patient during the transition period and for your
continuing support to 425 DX News!

>>> 3Y0X * UPDATE <<<
The renovations and modifications taking place on the vessel chartered for
the expedition were not completed on schedule, and the ship could not meet
the original sailing date. The charter company says they expect to be ready
to sail for Peter I on 10 February; the team of operators remains intact and
is prepared to assemble in Punta Arenas, Chile on the 8th (even though they
are not entirely confident the work can be completed on time).
If all things go well, they will arrive at the island about 6-7 days after
departure, depending on the route, weather and ice conditions. 3Y0X is
expected to be on the air as soon as possible, but this too is dependent on
the conditions on the island.
Despite the schedule change, the team still hopes to spend two full weeks on
the island. "The state of preparation of the ship, the location, complex
logistics, weather, and sea ice are all challenges and largely out of our
control", they say. "We will do all that is within our power to complete this
DXpedition safely and within this new time frame". Check
http://www.peterone.com/ for future updates.
3D2_rot - 3D2RE/R is the call Charlie, HA8IB and Eli, HA9RE will be use
during their 26 January-22 February operation from Rotuma (OC-060)
[425DXN 713]. Starting on the 23rd, they will operate as 3D2RE from
the Fiji Islands for a few days. QSL via HA8IB. [TNX NG3K]
6O - The tentative transmitting frequencies for the 3-17 February 6O0G
and 6O0CW activity from Somalia [425DXN 704] are:
BAND SSB CW RTTY
6 50110 50100 -
10 28450 28055 28080

Proposed frequencies have been chosen in order to avoid any
possible confusion with the DXpedition to Peter I (which however
now is unlikely to be concurrent with the 6O's). Comments and
suggestions are welcome (i2ysb@i2ysb.com), and please note that
new, different frequencies might be selected depending on actual
local conditions. The web site for the expedition is at
