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: N1DG@NS1N.MA.USA.NA; DX-Cluster: K1AJ) for USA North East, North America (except USA), South America; W0EK, (Bob Bruner, ex WD0AEK; E-mail: bbruner@upstel.net; PBBS: W0EK@NF0H.Mn.USA.NA; DX Cluster: K0IR) for USA Midwest & North; K0EU (Randy Martin; E-mail: randymartn@aol.com; DX-cluster: KY0A) for USA Mid-West & South; W4WW (Scotty Neustadter, ex N4PYD; E-mail: scotty@iquest.com; PBBS: W4WW@K4BFT#HSV.AL.USA.NA; DX-Cluster: W4NS) for USA South East; W2IJ (Jay Kobelin, ex WA2FIJ/6; E-mail: pcb4u@ix.netcom.com; DX-Cluster: N7QQ) for USA West Coast and Oceania; ON4UN (John Devoldere; E-mail: john.devoldere@innet.be; PBBS: ON4UN@ON4AWP.BEL.EU; DX-cluster: ON4DXK) for Europe & Africa; JH1ROJ (Isao Numaguchi; E-mail: isaonuma@nisiq.net; DX-cluster: JH1ROJ) for Japan and Asia.
