BOUVET ISLAND  --->  Tony Deprato,  WA4JQS  (Director  of  Operations,  South
Sandwich Island Antarctic DX  Group) reports the  following: "The paper  work
for the South  Sandwich Island DX  Group's Bouvet  Island DXpedition  [425DXN
267, ed. note] is going along very  well. Permission had been received for  a
December 1997 landing date, but with  the possible establishment of a  CCAMLR
(Convention  of  the  Conservation  of  Antarctic  Marine  Lining  Resources)
ecosystem monitoring program being set up on the island and taking effect  in
October 1997 problems could arise just before departure time with  permission
to land. The  South Sandwich Group  has reapplied for  a 1998 season  landing
date also so that they would have time to work with any new requirements that
the CCAMLR group should request. Many requests by the JA-operators for us  to
postpone our landing till 1998, so that the  28 MHz band opening to JA  would
be greater, was also a big factor in the new date request."

HEARD ISLAND DXPEDITION: REFLECTOR ---> The Heard reflector is now online! It
will be the  main perum in  which DXers  can participate  in the  expedition.
Through the  reflector, the  audience will  be able  to pass  the team  their
feedback. It will be the focal point per all updates and feedback coming from
the expedition team on the island. The expedition members on the island  will
not be on the reflector, but all inpermation  to and from the island will  be
channeled through the pilot stations. The  reflector will cater to free  flow
discussions (tips, recommendations, questions and answers, etc) between DXers
and the  expedition's pilots.   The  first step  to  subscribe to  the  Heard
reflector is  to send  Email to  heard-request@ve7tcp.ampr.org   (put in  the
body: subscribe).

HEARD ISLAND DXPEDITION: PILOT STATIONS ---> The Heard Island expedition uses
the Pilot Station  concept, idea  by W0CP,  and extensively  used during  the
Peter 1 expedition,  to stay in  contact with  the DX-community.   The  pilot
stations have  daily  contact with  the  H.I. expedition  (via  PACSAT).  The
communication between the pilots and the DX-community will take place via the
Internet, Packet (BBS  and DX Clusters)  and daily  info nets  on 75  metres.
There are five pilot stations in the US, one in Europe and one in Japan: N1DG
(Don    Greenbaum,    ex    WB2DND;    E-mail:    n1dg@aurumtel.com;    PBBS:
