The amateur radio society of New Caledonia (Association des Radio Amateurs de

The multi-national team has been issued the call TX0DX. They will operate on
all modes and all bands with five stations (four for HF bands and one for 6
metres) from two sites, far enough apart to allow simultaneous CW and SSB
operation on the same band. The list of pilots includes F6AJA, FK8CR, JH1KRC,
K6GNX, OH2BN and VK3EW. QSL via OH2BN (for HF QSOs only) and JA1BK (for
six-metre QSOs only). The TX0DX web site is under construction at
http://www.n4gn.com/tx0dx/. Last but not least: the Chesterfields are "the
next new DXCC entity"! [TNX N4GN]
