ical 7900km maximum range for AO-7. AO-7 was launched in 1974 and went

IOTA NEWS..............
AF-119. S79C UPDATE/PRESS RELEASE (date September 4th): Just over a
month ago, the S79C team released information about their plans
to activate brand new IOTA AF-119, Coetivy Island.
With little over 2 months before our departure, we are de-
lighted to confirm that plans are definite and large deposits
have already been paid to the relevant departments. We have
obtained all necessary permits both to visit and operate from
Coetivy and are looking forward to bringing this new one to so
many island chasers and DXers around the globe.
As of last week, all individual flights have now been booked.
Departing from cities such as Adelaide, Paris, Dublin, Rome,
Warsaw and Amsterdam, will see the whole team meet up in Mahe,
capital of Seychelles, on November 14/15th. On November 16th we
leave for Coetivy.
As private airplane charter is needed to access the island,
costs are terrifically high, higher than staging a DXpedition to
some rare entities! We kindly urge IOTA and DX chasers to support
our activation. http://af119new.com/donate/
To those of you who have already supported, we thank you, and
will reward those advance donors of $5 or more with a free QSL
card. Just send us your QSO details after the DXpedition. It's
our way of saying thanks!
We are most grateful to our corporate sponsors and early
support from GMDX, CDXC, GDXF, Nippon, DX World and IREF.
Station design and antennas are currently being discussed. We
aim to have 6 stations QRV at peak times to fulfill the demand
for this first activation and will concentrate on all geograph-
ical areas. We know many of you trust us to deliver a first class
island activation. Please visit our webpage <http://af119new.com=

PY7RP, Jose/PY8ZE and Jaime/PY8FML will be active as PX8Z

PA-14, ARLHS-278, DFB PA-13, WLOTA 2855) between September

SA-071. Labeled as the "deadliest island in the world" because of snakes,
look for operators Marcelo/PY2AE, Murilo/PY2DS and Joao Paulo/
PU2POP to be active as ZY2QG from Queimada Grande Island (DIB
SP-17 [NEW!]) and lighthouse (DFB SP-11, ARLHS BRA-086, WLOTA
0242) sometime in November for 24 hours only. On QRZ.com, it
states, "A Discovery Channel documentary, Treasure Quest: Snake
Island, claimed that there is between two and four thousand snak=
es
on the 430,000 square meter island which equates to an average
of one snake per approximately 75 square meters over the entire
island. This contrasts with claims of an average of one to as
many as five snakes per square meter... It is home to an endemic
species of Bothrops, the 'Golden Lancehead Viper' (Bothrops
insularis), which is one of the most venomous snakes in the
world. Much about its venom is disputed, as no cases of humans
having been bit have been confirmed." QSL via PY2AE, direct or
by the Bureau. See QRZ.com for more details.

REALTIME BAND CONDITIONS WEB SITE <http://www.bandconditions.com>:
The purpose of this experimental Web site is to provide 24-7-365 actual
(REALTIME) band condition information to CW QRPp, QRPe and CW/SSB for
Contesters interested in increasing their scores. It can also be of
benefit to other Radio Amateurs to determine band conditions for Nets
and casual QSO's. This information is NOT based on any software pre-
dictions or any kind of satellite based readings. It is based on a
new Ionospheric sounding method called "HF Ionospheric Interferometry"
which operates very similarly to the PolSAR system used by NASA.
