AMSTERDAM 1998 ---> Jeffrey Pawlan, WA6KBL (pilot station for North  America:
jpawlan@ieee.org) reports  that  the FT5ZH  DXpedition  to  Amsterdam  Island
[425DXN 381] is on schedule and there  are no problems so far. The  equipment
departed from Marseille on 5 October.  The operators (Mehdi, F5PFP and  Eric,
F5SIH) will  depart  by  plane  for Reunion  in  eary  November.  Enroute  to
Amsterdam Island, the ship will stop at both Crozet and Kerguelen, but  Mehdi

arrive on Amsterdam  Island on 25  November and expect  to have all  antennas
erected and operational on 27 November. They will operate around the clock on
all bands CW, SSB and RTTY  as much as they can until  their departure on  25
December. The logs will NOT be available on the web while the operations take
place. QSL via F6KDF. [TNX KF2TI and WA6KBL]
