Fábio states, "We only ask that everyone has a lot of patience and understands that our operation in TOP BAND is a rudimentary form because of the conditions that we have on the island. Thus, each contact that we can make, will be a victory for us all. Anyway, we will be active in 160 meters servicing the requests of many colleagues."

VK0EK HEARD ISLAND DXPEDITION NEWS
Rich, KY6R, posted the following on February 15th [edited]:
EXPEDITION LEADER GOES DOWN UNDER TO COORDINATE THE PROJECT
-- Expedition Organizer/Leader Dr. Robert Schmieder is on a 2-week multi-stop trip to New Zealand, Tasmania, and Australia to coordinate plans, permits, and logistics for the expedition. His first stop was to see Peter Hillary (son of Sir Edmund Hillary) in Auckland (see picture at: http://www.heardisland.org/HD_images/HD_people/IMG_3552_crop_640.jpg).

Bob was hosted for several days by team member Jacky Calvo ZL3CW. They were able to meet with other radio amateurs who will provide support for the expedition, including Gary/ZL2IFB, Chris/ZL2DX, and Lee/ZL2AL, who will serve as a radio pilot for the DXpedition.

In Christchurch, Bob met with Rodney Russ of Heritage Expeditions (who is providing the vessel), and in Kingston, Tasmania, he met with staff at the Australian Antarctic Division (who will issue the permits). Bob reports that these meetings went very well, and there is every expectation that the expedition can go forward as planned. In particular, the contract for the vessel is in hand, and Heritage indicated they can help with certain facilities and logistics that will save the expedition some expenses. The AAD indicated that the expedition can expect to receive permission to visit areas of the island normally off-limits to visitors, and to make collections of organisms and return with them for laboratory analysis. These activities are critical to the expedition’s goal of “Discovering Life in the Extremes,” so this step gives assurance that the major objec- tives of the expedition can be met.

In Christchurch, Bob met with team member Martin Budd, son of legendary Heard Island explorer Grahame Budd, (also a member of the expedition team). Team member Rohan Clarke came from Melbourne for the meeting with the AAD in Kingston, Tasmania, and they also met with Eric Woehler, expert on Heard Island and an important advisor to the expedition. Bob will also be meeting with staff at the University of Tasmania, including Jodi Fox, who will be doing her PhD thesis on the geology of the Laurens Peninsula. In a few days, Bob travels to Sydney to meet with Grahame Budd and with other Australian team members, including John Weigle and Glen Pacey. He will also make an important side trip to Perth to coordinate the local (Fremantle) support team.

It is clear that this trip was an essential step to solidify the formal structure of the expedition and the coordination of the team. “Now,” Bob says, in a flight metaphor, “We have an approved flight plan. The next steps are to assemble the cargo, suit up the crew, and prepare for take- off in November!”

VK9L, LORD HOWE ISLAND (Update)
Operators Pekka/OH1TV and Pekka/OH2YY will be active as VK9LC from Lord Howe Island (OC-004) between February 22-28th. Activity will be mainly SSB, with some CW, using two K3 stations into 2 element yagis for 20-10m, dipoles for 40/30m and a 3 element yagi 6m. QSL via OH2YY or QSL Bureau of the SRAL.

VK9L, LORD HOWE ISLAND (Also Possible VK IOTAs)
Steve, G0UIH/VK2IAY/3D2FI, of Vortex Antennas, will be making a trip back to Australia and the Pacific between December 2015 and January 2016. His operations will be holiday style (as it's his XYL's birthday trip) from Lord Howe Island (OC-004) as VK2IAY/9 between December 16-23rd (8 days). Activity will be SSB only concentrating on 10/15/17 and 20m, although other bands are possible as he hopes to utilize some antenna hardware from his previous activations. Steve will also be using various antenna hardware from Vortex Antenna Systems www.vortexantennas.co.uk. On returning to Australia (between December 23rd, 2015 and January 16th, 2016), there is a good chance of activating other IOTA references around VK although nothing has yet been confirmed. Look around 14260/21260/28460 and 18145 kHz. A 4 color special double QSL sponsored by Vortex Antenna Systems will be available in early 2016. QSL via G0UIH, direct or by the Bureau.

VK9N, NORFOLK ISLAND
Four Australian operators will be active as VK9NT from Norfolk Island (OC-005, WLOTA 1469, WWFF VKFF-392) between April 24th and May 4. Operators mentioned are Chris/VK3QB (Team Leader), Luke/VK3HJ, Roy/VK3GB and Oly/VK3XDX/5. Activity will be on 160-10 meters using CW only. No Digital or 6m activity is planned. Equipment will be 2x TS- 480HX, KX-3/KXPA-100, verticals and dipoles. Another KX-3 will be used portable and for some SOTA activity. Logs will be uploaded daily to ClubLog, and soon after the end of the activity to LoTW. An OQRS via ClubLog will also be active. QSL via VK2CA, direct or by the Bureau. An OQRS (Online QSL Request) [For Bureau and direct QSLs] will be available via ClubLog and is the "PREFERRED" method.
