Beacon 14.100 Beacon sends callsign CW at 100 W,
XR0Y/B 18.110 then a steady tone for
21.150 1.5 s at 100, 10, 1, and 0.1 W,
24.930 then moves to next higher frequency.
28.200 The cycle repeats once per minute.
The beacon XR0Y/B (Easter Isl.) will be QRV from 1 to 21 September.
They request exchange of real signal reports rather than the normal
"59" or "599" DXpedition report. This will slow the rates some, but
we need the information to study propagation. You are invited to
dupe the expeditions in order to help us study propagation, but
please do it only on different band-days. If there is a big pile-up
please be considerate of others who have not yet worked the DXpedi-
tion. They will be logging with a CT network, so they will know if
you are a dupe. For a station's first QSO with the expedition, a
printed QSL card will be put in the U.S. mail to you within 24
hours after the QSO if they can find a valid mailing address in the
available callbook. For all logged QSOs, a "Congratulations" e-mail
message will be sent to you automatically, if you are in the QRZ
database maintained by Fred Lloyd AA7BQ. To add yourself to the da-
tabase, either send an e-mail message
To: update@qrz.com
Message: comqrz_update your_callsign your_email_address
or log into the WWW site with the URL http://www.qrz.com
The expedition is presented in a series of pages on the World Wide
Web. These show maps, lists of people, latest information about the
expedition, etc. During the expedition the pages will be updated
daily. The URL for the site is http://ve7tcp.ampr.org/DX/easter.
QSL manager will be Mary Ann Crider WA3HUP, 2485 Lewisberry RD.,
York Haven, PA 17370. Your QSL card will contain a printed barcode
which contains all the information about the QSO. It can be read by
standard readers capable of handling Code-39 barcodes. The purpose
of the barcode is to facilitate future processing by validating
agencies such as the ARRL/DXCC. More in the next number.
