DUCIE DXPEDITION CANCELLED! On late Monday, November 19th, the DXpedition team turned back to Pitcairn due to the stormy weather conditions. Between the rough seas and having to shut down the diesel engines to clean the fuel filter every few hours, it was just too risky to attempt a landing. As they were heading back to Pitcairn, the team began making plans to operate in the upcoming CQWW Contest from Pitcairn. According to pilot station Dr. Bill, N6GNX, the team made it back OK to Pitcairn, however, once on the island the PIARA Ducie Island team decided not to operate during the CQWW weekend from Pitcairn. The reason given was that a diesel problem necessitated a dozen stops to clean the fuel filter just on the trip back to Pitcairn alone, and it was decided that it would be prudent to head back to the Gambier Island earlier (0100z) November 22nd. Before leaving, Kan, JA1BK, donated all the antennas and masts and 2 generators to the Pitcairn Island Amateur Radio Association (PIARA) for a future DXpedition. INTEREST NOTE: While on the island, Mike/K9AJ and Vince/K5VT who are both medical doctors, made themselves available to several patients as the number of doctors on Pitcairn just went from zero to two!

QSL INFO AND NEWS.................

R1, ANTARCTICA. Oleg, R1ANF/mm, who is currently onboard of the vessel "Grigoriy Mikheev", is heading south again. Reportedly, the ship will make stops at the Canary Islands and Montevideo, Uruguay, before heading to King George Island. Oleg, who will be the station leader of the Russian Antarctic base "Bellingshausen", wil be there until March of 2003. His equipment this season consists of a FT-900 (100w) and a R-6000 multiband vertical antenna. He has plans to activate again the Chilean base "Ripamonti" as well as "Pedro Cerda" (CE9) and probably "Des. Navy Deception (LU/Z) Bases on Deception Island" in January 2002. QSL for R1ANF/mm are via RK1PWA.

UX0, UKRAINE (6 meters). Nikolay, UX0FF, who has been active on 6 meters lately, has been heard on 50113.6 kHz between 1300-1430z. He informs OPDX that there has been some confusion with his CBA address. Some callbooks list him as being in "Asiatic Russia" which is incorrect. His correct address is: Nikolay Lavreka, P.O. Box 3, IZMAIL, 68600, UKRAINE.

VP5, TURKS & CAICOS ISLANDS. Ed, WA3WSJ, will be operating his Elecraft K2 on Provo Island starting Thanksgiving night through November 29th. Outside the CQWW DX CW Contest, Ed will be active as VP5/WA3WSJ. He will operate CW and PSK31, so he hopes to see many QRPers on his screen! Inside the contest Ed will operate CW as VP5ED again with his K2. If you need a VP5 QRP, give him a call. Take a look at his Web site for additional information at: http://www.qsl.net/wa3wsj/

VP8, SOUTH GEORGIA ISLAND (Also South Orkney). By the time you read this, GM0HCQ is scheduled/expected to be active from South Georgia (AN-007) as VP8SGK until November 30th. He will also be active again from South Georgia between January 10-11th. Also, look for him to be active from South Orkney Island (AN-008) as VP8SIG, January 5-8th and January 28-30th. http://www.qsl.net/gm0hcq/vp8sgk&.htm

XV9, VIETNAM. Rolf, SM5MX, informs OPDX that he will be in Hanoi until November 28th, activating his callsign XV9SW. He will take part in the CQWW CW Contest as a 21 MHz Single Band/Low Power entry. Before and after the contest, he will be on 20/15/10 meters, CW only. QSL via SM3CXS.

YA, AFGHANISTAN. It has been reported that well-known DXer Peter, ON6TT, is back in Kabul. He is there setting up U.N communications for the U.N. personnel. Knowing Peter, we are sure he will try to receive permission to operate from this country.

ZK2, NIUE. Mike/KM9D and YL Jan/KF4TUG have been very active this past week as ZK2MO and ZK2TO, respectively. Their activity seems to cover 80-10 meters and the WARC bands. Mike does mainly CW while Jan operates on SSB. Mike will be in the CQWW CW Contest as a Single Op/All Band/Low Power entry. QSL both callsign via OM2SA. Also, expected to be active is Tom, VK2IR, until November 29th, but there have been no QSNs reported. His callsign is unknown, but is expected to be active on 40-6 meters.

Excerpts and distribution of The OPDX Bulletin are granted as long as
KB8NW/OPDX/BARF80 receive credit. To contribute DX info, call BARF-80 BBS
online at 440-237-8208 28.8k/14400/9600/2400/1200 and leave a message with
the Sysop or send via InterNet Mail to:      kb8nw@barf80.nshore.org
                              - OR -
Use the VOICE or FAX answering machine at 440-237-8208 which shares the
same phone line as BARF-80 BBS using a data/fax/phone switch. To access:
1) Dial Number. 2) Wait for first ring (the second ring should be a false
ring from the fax/data switch box) and then dial four quick ones ("1111").
(NOTE: Some FAX machines that send single "BEEPS" every second will not
have to do this step.) 3) The phone will pick up and after the "BEEP"
leave your voice message or FAX.
