HEARD ISLAND EXPEDITION 1995 - For  several  months  a group from  the 3Y0PI
team has worked discretely on a new DXpedition. All key elements of the pro-
ject are now in place.  This is the first announcement of this group's acti-
vities.  K0IR, the  organizer and  leader of the  1994 3Y0PI  Peter I Island
DXpedition,  will lead a team  to Heard Island in November, 1995. Sir Edmund
Hillary will be the Honorary Expedition Leader. The Australian Antarctic Di-
vision has  issued permit number  95/1 allowing a  full-scale  amateur radio
operation. All environmental assessments and letters of indemnification have
been filed and approved. A separate proposal for scientific work  during the
stay is expected to be approved. A 140-ft. vessel has been chartered for the
trip. The team will sail from Fremantle, Western Australia, on Nov. 1, 1995,
and expects to land on Heard Island Nov. 12. They will remain until  Dec. 1,
returning to Fremantle around Dec. 12.  The team will be active on all bands
and modes, including digital and satellite.  The team will elaborate  on the
strong  points of  the 3Y0PI  expedition,  and hopes  to take  advantage  of
technical innovations  resulting from the  1995 Easter  Island/Salas y Gomez
expedition in September. Radio equipment is being provided by Yaesu, ETO,and
Cushcraft.  The DXpedition was organized  by 3Y0PI veterans K0IR (Expedition
Leader),  KK6EK (Scientific Coordinator)  and ON6TT  (European Coordinator).
The team also currently includes another 3Y0PI team member HB9AHL, plus N6EK
PA3DUU,  K5VT, DJ9ZB, and  JH4RHF.  Additional support will come from JH1AJT
(Japanese Coordinator) and VK2BEX (Australian Coordinator). Contributions to
help defray the high cost of transportation are needed. Please forward these

TT8OBO -> Operations made from WA4OBO in Chad using the TT8OBO call was con-
sidered NOT valid from the ARRL DXCC Desk.
 
NEW ONE DXCC & IOTA ??? -> In these days newspapers and  televisions  talked
about the big  volcanic eruption in Pacific Ocean, near the Tonga archipela-
go that could create a possibile new island; the conditional is necessary as
the same volcanic activity that created it could destroy it in a short while
but we are sure that someone is looking for Metis Shoal on maps, to consider
the possibility of a new DXCC country.
 
PIRATES -> Tony, T77C, is still receiving QSL for  operations made  from  an
unknown M1TC station. Tony reports that is a pirate activity and ask  to not
lose time and money sending requests that he is not able to satisfy.
