long wire in SSB (14260 and 7085 KHz) and RTTY (14085 and 7085 KHz)
VK0_h - Bad news from the Heard Island DXpedition Team,currently in Austra-
lia. On 29 October KK6EK, K0IR, HB9AHL and RA3AUU joined ON6TT and
PA3DUU, supported by VK6NE, VK6UE, and numerous other Australians.
They have determined that the vessel that was to take them to Heard
Island is not up to their standards for safety to make the journey,
and they have been searching for a replacement. At the least, it
will mean a delay until early 1996. A problem they may face is that
much, perhaps all, of the financial investment in the vessel char-
ter is now unavailable to them. They are pessimistic that they can
recover amounts by Jan. 1 to enable them to finance another vessel.
Therefore, they are simultaneously working to locate major new fi-
nancial backing in order to complete the expedition this season.
They face a daunting task in this regard. It is likely that some of
the present team members will be unable to return in January, and
therefore there may be openings for new team members. The equipment
is safe. They ask for your understanding and support, as they work
to find a solution to this very difficult problem. Any brilliant
ideas would be most welcome!
W2 - Sunday 5 November the N2FCZ station will be active to celebrate the

7100, 14074 and 14100 KHz, from 15.00 to 23.00 UTC by two ex RCA CW

ry. QSL via N2FCZ, Henry Bookout, 167 Sound Avenue, Riverhead, NY
11901, USA.

gularly active from 10 to 80 meters and he has the logs for 1985-88
