K1N DQRM
"Deliberate QRM has been a major hindrance on both ends of
the pileups in recent years and is worsening. There is a tab on our website
(www.navassadx.com) where you can help us identify QRMing stations. This
tab will not be active until the DXpedition comes on the air. By entering
the data requested, and if enough data is entered, even with crude or rough
beam headings, a 'heat map' can be produced with mathematical analysis of
the data. This was covertly tested during the recent FT4TA Tromelin
DXpedition and even with limited data input, several deliberate QRMing
stations could be identified within a very small area! Again, the more data
that is provided the more accurate the 'heat' can be put on offending
stations. If we do experience QRM, we have planned tactics to minimize the
malicious interference. Hint: listen, listen and listen more for us... we
might try to 'wiggle' out of it! We will also try hard to keep our splits
narrow as possible to avoid annoying non-DXers who have been known to
'bother' a pileup".
VP8DOZ/G South Georgia tulossa
Denis ZL4DB is heading to VP8\G South Georgia in a few days. En route, he hopes to collect his license in Stanley, Falkland Islands around 24th January and to get a VP8\G call-sign. He also hopes to meet Bob VP8LP who has been very helpful in providing information on requirements and contacts with the VP8 administration. Once on the South Georgia he needs to obtain permission to operate, which could be late February as there are important tasks to complete for the team he's working with. A QRZ page and possibly Clublog will be set up when his call is confirmed.
Denis will arrive at King Edward Point, near Grytviken around 27th January and will be tasked with providing comms for a helicopter operation as part of the South Georgia Habitat Restoration Project. The helicopter team will be rat-poisoning, with Denis setting up a global positioning warning system to track the choppers and a repeater system between the main base and forward operating positions. His time for ham radio will be largely dictated by the weather. If its adverse for flying, then he'll be off to the shack. The operation is scheduled to end late March/early April.
Denis is very inexperienced in using a computer logging program or pile-up handling so may not be calling CQ initially, he may only S&P for a while until his confidence increases. If you hear him, please be very patient. He has been given him some training using N1MM with a simulated steady stream of callers. He knows how to use split but initially may be simplex only.
His rig is a TS-480 barefoot into a 17/20m GP. The TS-480 has auto-tuner so he may appear on other bands. Unfortunately, he is not permitted to operate from the main comms room on the base or use their antennas. He will only be operating SSB.
From Grytviken, there is a tall mountain range to the North which will largely block SP signals towards WEU, NA & SA. Fortunately, these is a large bay right in front of him on the SP to ZL, VK & Asia.
Denis has been on Macquarie before and had hoped to operate from there but this never eventuated. There is a possibility he may not operate from VP8\G either. With a large team planning to activate South Georgia and South Sandwich in 2016, it won't be long before we get a crack at a large-scale activation from these highly sought-after entities.
Denis will not be reachable by e-mail while at Grytviken. He hopes to gain some internet time to send logs to his QSL manager (Paul ZL4PW). Please do not request skeds, different bands, different modes etc etc. If he isn't too intimidated by the pile-ups and caller behaviour he will work more of the deserving. QSL information will be posted on qrz.com at a later date. Uploading to LOTW and eQSL is very unlikely.
Regards,
Paul ZL4PW

Oli palvelusta tippunut viime viikon ajan muutama valitettavan tärkeä toiminto pois päältä, kuten pitkäntien laskenta, mutta viat on
nyt korjattu.
