3B7, ST. BRANDON ISLAND. Ron, K5XK, updates OPDX that Rachid, 3B8FQ,
will leave Mauritius by boat on Tuesday, August 11th, enroute for St.
Brandon (AF-015). Rachid will operate solo as 3B7FQ from August 12th
through the end of the month–and possibly a few extra days in early
September. Look for him on all bands, 30-10 meters, although Rachid
expects 40 and 20 meters to be most productive. He will use both CW
and SSB, as conditions allow. As in Rachid’s earlier travels to 3B6
and 3B7, operating time will be shared with his primary mission of
performing maintenance on the island’s meteorological equipment. He
expects to use the island’s G5RV and a vertical with a 100 watt trans-
ceiver powered by a 12 volt battery that will be charged daily. Rachid
likes to use “the 8s” whenever possible on CW. Here are his anticipated
frequencies:
CW - 7008, 10108, 14008, 18078, 21008, 24898 and 28008 kHz
SSB - 7050, 14191, 18141, 21241, 24941 and 28491 kHz

If future plans come together, Rachid may operate from 3B9 sometime
after his return and hopes to operate from 3B6 again in November. QSL
via K5XK, direct preferred.

run 4 stations simultaneously in order to serve the pile-up. They have
also announced their callsign for the operation - 3D20CR. The callsign
of this DXpedition was issued to commemorate a DXpedition 20 years ago
when DK9KX as organizer and leader of a crew, which included today’s
member DJ9ON, visited this island for the first activation ever. The
DXpedition is still looking for sponsors. The total amount of the operation

CQ NEWS. A press release by Richard Moseson, W2VU, Editor of CQ Amateur
Radio, dated August 4th, states: “2008 CQ World Wide CW Contest Marks
Major Milestone for K0DQ Becomes Possibly the Only Person Ever to Win
All Six Major Ham Radio Contests — Scott Redd, K0DQ, operating the 2008
CW weekend of the CQ World Wide DX Contest from Aruba as P40Q, racked up
over a million more points than his closest competitor in the Single-
Operator Low Power Class, and became perhaps the only person ever to win
single-op world championships in all six major Ham Radio DX contests.
‘I don’t know of anyone else’ who has won all the major contests, said
CQWW Contest Director Bob Cox, K3EST, in announcing the results, which
will be published in the September issue of ‘CQ’ magazine.
Scott had his first taste of contest victory back in 1966, as a young
Navy officer posted to Uruguay and operating CX2CO in the phone weekend
of the CQ World Wide DX Contest. Over the succeeding years, Scott worked
his way through the Navy ranks to Vice Admiral and became Commander of
the Fifth Fleet, then served as a civilian in the Iraq Coalition
Provisional Authority and as Director of the National Counter terrorism
Center before retiring in late 2007. But Ham Radio and contesting were
never far away, and operating from Mexico as XE1IIJ in the early 1970s,
Scott won single-op world championships in the CQWW Phone Contest, the
ARRL DX Phone and CW Contests and the CQ WPX Phone Contest. Thirty years
later, when his professional life permitted a little more hamming time,
Scott added the WPX CW crown as P41P, operating from P43P’s station in
Aruba, in 2002. The only prize that eluded him — until now — was the
CQWW CW.
‘I’ve been trying like a son-of-a-gun to win (the) CQ World Wide CW,’
Scott commented in a 2008 interview with ‘CQ’. ‘I’ve come in number two,
I’ve come in number three, but I’ve never won that one…. so that’s
still my goal, every time I get close, in CQ World Wide CW, to win the
world.’
When informed that he had finally achieved that goal, K0DQ said, ‘I
guess the message is if you keep at it long enough good things happen.
In this case, four decades. It’s been a great ride … and it’s still
magic!’
CQ congratulates Scott — already a member of the CQ Amateur Radio
Hall of Fame, for his contesting achievements on top of all his other
achievements.”

GB2/GB4/M0, ENGLAND. Members of Sands Amateur Radio Contest Group will
be operating a number of special event stations on Saturday, August 15th,
to celebrate the Galloways Society for the Blind’s “25th Anniversary of
the Cross Bay Walk” led by Queen’s Guide Cedric Robinson MBE. The walk
generally takes around 3 hours and needs the Queen’s Guide to navigate
between Arnside and Kents Bank safely because of the quicksands around
the bay that have taken many lives over the years. The first appointment
was in 1536. Cedric, who is the 25th appointed Queen’s Guide to the Sands
and local fisherman, has been leading the walks since 1963. The special
callsigns to listen out for are:
GB2GSB - Located at Arnside Knott which overlooks Arnside and a good
part of the walk.
M0SCG/M - Will be operating from the tractor which follows the walkers
and can be used if anybody becomes too exhausted or ill during
the walk.
GB4GSB - Located at the end of the walk at Kents Bank.

A special certificate is offered for amateurs and SWLs who work any of
the stations. To obtain a certificate, send an A4 SAE and a check for
2.50 (pounds) made out to SARCG, and send it to their QSL Manager G0VGS
(see QRZ.com or: Ian Maude, 21 Colwyn Avenue, Bare, Morecambe, Lancs,
LA4 6EQ. Once printing costs are covered, any money left over will be
donated to the Galloways Society for the Blind. For more details about

ADDED NOTES BY LEE: Lee informs that “SpaceWeather.com” is reporting that
this year’s Perseid meteor shower may be even better than usual, especially
on the peak day of August 12th. The Web site is reporting that, “According
to NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office, a filament of comet dust has
drifted across Earth’s path, and when Earth passes through it sometime
between 0800-0900z (1-2 am PDT) on August 12th, the Perseid meteor rate
could surge to twice its normal value. Check
for details and observing tips.” The peak hourly rate could reach 200
meteors. Many hams who enjoy making meteor scatter contacts look forward
to the Perseids each August, along with backyard astronomers who take
advantage of the warm summer weather to sit outside late at night and
watch the sky show.

a lite and small DXpedition with 6 operators. Operators mentioned are:
Marco/CE6TBN, Leszek/NI1L, Aart/PA3C Zbig/SP7HOV, Stan/SQ8X and Victoria/
SV2KBS. Although Easter Island is no longer among the “100 Top Most Wanted
DXCC Entities”, it is still most wanted on some bands such as 30 meters
and any activity on this band is very seldom due to a fact a special,
temporary license submitted by Chilean Ministry of Telecommunication is
obligatory. The group has obtained a license for all bands, and they
decided to dedicate their DXpedition to 30 meters (CW section only! Digi-
modes on 30m are not allowed in Chile), and 160, 80 and 40 meters. The
group thanks the support from “Radio Club de Chile” to help obtain and
have this unique opportunity to activate Rapa Nui on 30 meters. A QSL
route has not been announced yet, but it will be shortly. They plan to
use an “Online QSL Request System” (OQRS) for direct requests and also
the standard QSLing via direct and bureau options. Their logs will be
uploaded to the LoTW after the DXpedition after some period of time.
They will NOT nor plan to use eQSL. For more details and update, visit
the XR0YA Web site at: rapanui2009.org

the same operators that activated VK9GMW from Mellish Reef, and they
plan to make this another simple low-band DXpedition. Their priorities

* Mailing direct -Please include 2 USDs with every direct QSL request
for up to three cards per envelope. If you send International Reply
Coupons (IRC), please make sure that it is not expired or is not
about to expire. DO NOT SEND IRCs that are valid only until end of
2009! Cards are likely to be posted only early 2010. Mailing address:
Tamas Pekarik, Alagi ut 15, H-2151 Fot, HUNGARY

* The preferred way is using the “Online QSL Request Service” (OQRS)
on their Web site which they will launch once the DXpedition is
over. You can use that form to request your direct QSL and cover
the costs of sending the QSL card to you direct by using PayPal.
They request a minimum of 5 USDs or 4 EUROs for this service.

* LoTW and eQSL: The log will be placed onto the LoTW and eQSL systems.

* Bureau: They will launch an “Online QSL Request Service” (OQRS) on
their Web site as soon as the expedition is over. If you want to
receive your QSL via the bureau, please use that form to request
the card. They will check your QSOs against the log and send your
card to you via the bureau. This method will allow them faster
processing, helps them protect the environment and you will receive
your TX3A card faster. If you request your bureau card online, please
do NOT request a direct card and do NOT send us your QSL card.
