In January 2016, a multi-national team of fourteen operators willconverge in Stanley, the Falkland Islands and start a 34-day voyageaboard the R/V Braveheart to the #4 most wanted DXCC, South Sandwich Island and the #9 most wanted DXCC, South Georgia Island.
The team will set up and operate from each island for approximately ten days, weather and sea conditions permitting.
Our primary objective is to activate South Sandwich and South Georgiawith a goal of providing as many Dxers as possible a “new one” withthese rare DXCC entities and, as a secondary objective; we will focus onlow-band contacts.
The team consists of fourteen operators including:

The group plans to have six stations on the air from 10 through 160meters with SSB, CW and RTTY. The radios will be the venerable ElecraftK3 while the amplifiers will be the Elecraft KPA500, 600 wattamplifiers. We will also use an Acom 1500 on the low bands. There willbe low band receive antennas and every effort will be made to utilizethe propagation on all bands to all population areas.
Our QSL Managers will be Bob Schenck N2OO and Steve Wheatley KU9Cworking with the QSL team from the South Jersey DX Association. We willhave OQRS, we will accept direct and bureau QSL cards. We plan to uploadour logs to Club Log on a daily basis where conditions permit. The ClubLog Leaderboard feature will not be activated for this Dxpedition.








N6PSE-PAUL，  K3LP---DAVID， 给大家带来好消息，2016年1月，将针对目前西方需求排第4和第9的VP8/SA 和VP8/G发起一次相比以往最大规模的远征。 整个活动持续34天，计划在每个岛操作10天（天气条件允许的话），达到两个目标，第一：让尽可能多的HAM满足ALL BAND NEW ONE，消除红点；第二：希望在低波段有所为（估计以前这两个岛很少在低波段出来）；这次远征预计共有14个人参加；（名单就不译了），远征将设6个台，涵盖10米-160米，除了在160米用ACOM 1500瓦功放外，其余全部用Elecraft的 KPA500，约600瓦；电台用清一色的K3， QSL MANGER是N2OO，可以使用OQRS，情况允许下我们会上传到CLUB LO，但是。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。不会开放CLUB的LEADERBOARD功能（疯子们就去失望吧）

疯子们，加油追啊

明年8月就是猴年马月， 这个比猴年马月还晚了半年

其实最近有个新西兰人ZL4DB DENNIS在南乔治亚岛，可能在4月下旬才结束。但是，他只限于12，17米的SSB，而且是GP天线裸奔。幸运的是，他的设台地点对VK/ZL，AS的SP方向，是几乎没有遮挡的。在一楼的大型远征前有这个打头阵，也是挺有挑战性的。

他的设台条件结合南乔治亚岛的地理位置，估计比K1N更难。。。。非常难。

News from the Intrepid DX Group VP8STI/VP8SGI Team

The VP8STI-South Sandwich, VP8SGI-South Georgia and VP8IDX (Falklands & /MM) licenses have been issued and are in hand. In just six short weeks, the team will be making their voyage to South Sandwich Island. Our ship, the venerable RV Braveheart is being prepared and loaded for her long voyage halfway around the world to meet the team in the Falkland Islands.

We expect to land at South Sandwich and begin operations sometime on January 17th if sea conditions and weather permit. After ten days at South Sandwich, we will break camp and voyage three days to South Georgia. We expect to land and be on the air on February 1st.

This is a “Pure DX” Dxpedition. The team is not mountain climbing or collecting specimens, our sole focus is getting you in our logs! We will work very hard to do that!

To date, we have raised $153,500 from the global DX Community. The 14 team members have contributed $210,000 towards our entire budget of $425,000. If your club or you yourself have not already donated will you please consider a donation? We cannot get there without you!
