THE WORLD OF DX
The Italian DXpedition Team is operating as 3-X-Y-ONE-T (3XY1T) from Los
Island off the coast of Guinea in West Africa until March 4. They are on
all bands 160m to 6m on SSB, CW and RTTY.
A team of 9 operators from North America is active as A35T from the island
of Tonga until Feb. 28. QSLs are being handled by M-ZERO-URX (M0URX).
A number of stateside operators will be operating from Guantanamo Bay
starting Friday, Feb. 19, through March 4. Look for the callsigns KG4BP,
KG4EU, KG4HF, KG4HP and KG4WV.
In March, start looking for Don, VE7AQA, who will be calling as E51AQA

KICKER: AT DAYTONA 500, HAMS ARE UP TO SPEED
And finally, looking at the noted Daytona 500 race on Sunday, Feb. 21 in
Florida, let's keep in mind a few basic things: speed is good, awards are
prestigious and pileups are very, very bad.
By the way, we're not talking about the race itself here - or even the
racecar drivers - but the Special Event amateur radio station commemorating
the 58th such race. The Daytona Beach Community Emergency Response Team
Amateur Radio Team, N4DAB, took to the air with pride from Feb. 17 to be
working right up through race day on Feb. 21. For the third such event,
the club showed the same pride it's always had, whether providing backup
communications during special events, or helping out during natural
disasters.
The club is still a month away from its next special event, activating the
Canaveral National Seashore on Saturday, March 19, for National Parks On
The Air. No, they're not quite ready to look skyward yet, because racecars
and more terrestrial competitions are on their minds.
So this month, it's all about the phrase: "Gentlemen, start your engines."
Or rather, "OMs and YLs, fire up your rigs." Yes speed does count - and
those pileups should be avoided at all costs.
