Thanks to the Northern Ohio Amateur Radio Society, Northern Ohio DX Association, Ohio/Penn PacketCluster Network, AB5K & the AR TelNet Clusters Network FO8RZ and VU2PTT for the following DX information.

FO/M, MARQUESAS ISLAND
Phil, FO8RZ, sent the following to OPDX:

"I will go tomorrow morning on Marquesas Islands for my job. QTH will be Taiohae in the south of Nuku Hiva island (OC027). I was expected to operate from the north of the island but I had to cancel this QTH at last moment. South QTH is a bad QTH due to big mountains (550m to USA/EU - 700m to JA), but I have no choice. I will operate only during my periods of freetime:
- 16th March around 0530Z to 0900Z
- 17th March around 0530Z to 1000Z
- 17th March around 1600Z to 2000Z
My freetime may change due to changes in my job. Call sign will be FO8RZ/P. QSL via LoTW and F8BPN Activity on 40-20-17-15-12-10 CW Rig: 100W + HF6V
This operation may be canceled or delayed at the last moment due to my job....... Best 73 de FO8RZ Phil"

OOOPPPSS DEPARTMENT
Couple of typo were in OPDX.1002. Please correct the following: * Under "CY0, SABLE ISLAND (Update)" - Jeff, N1SNB, callsign was incorrect (not N1NSB). * Under QSL-INFO from DB0SDX (dated March 13th) - The QSL route for NO8DX is wrong .... it says KB8BW -- should be KB8NW (ALREADY CORRECTED ON THE WEB VERSION)

VU4, ANDAMAN ISLANDS (Press Release 4: Mar 15th).

"VU4PB is now operational but due to very bad weather with high winds and rain only two stations were installed and ran on both 20 and 40m. We hope to get a third station operational by the end of the day today and the fourth later during this week.
Low band antennas will be up and running later in the week. Murphy is keeping us good company along with the daily storms.

Please note that our 'Operating Frequencies' http://www.arsi.info/dxpeditions/vu4pb-mar-2011/operating-frequencies have been updated to avoid interference to the JA Emergency Nets which have been notified and our Propagation Page http://www.arsi.info/dxpeditions/vu4pb-mar-2011/propagation has also been updated.
The online logs will be available by 17th March. FYI, the following press release is available on our website at: http://www.arsi.info/dxpeditions/vu4pb-mar-2011/press-releases
