T33 - In March or April 2004 an international
team of about 15 well known operators, including most of the TI9M
group, will be active as T33C from Banaba (OC-018) for a period
of about 12 days. The QSL manager will be announced at a later
date. The main emphasis of this DXpedition will be to work Europe
on all bands, especially on the low-bands. The team will use 5
stations around the clock. When the DX window to Europe is not
open, the team will focus on all other areas of the world.
Operations will take place on 160-6 metres CW, SSB, RTTY, PSK and
some SSTV with linear amplifiers available, when needed. This
will be a completely self supporting DXpedition, since little of
the infrastructure of Banaba is left. All food, water, medical
support, radios, antennas and electrical power equipment must be
brought in by boat. The web site for the DXpedition is at http://www.dx-pedition.de/banaba2004,
and it will be updated as frequently as things progress. [TNX

OY operation have been processed and mailed. Direct cards

Please refrain from sending registered letters, as they
are not collected. If for any reason you want to send
your request by registered mail, please contact Rob (pa5et@muurkrant.com)
in advance so that he can give another proper address.
TIMOR LESTE ---> The following press
release comes from Stu Greene, WA2MOE and it is being
quoted verbatim: "The United Nations no longer is in
control and independence was won by the East Timorese on
May 20, 2002. An application for new entity status will
be filed together with an application to delete of the
former 4W territory as an entity under DXCC rules.
Article 5 of the treaty between Portugal and Indonesia of
May 5, 1999 removed East Timor from the list of
Non-Self-Governing Territories of the General Assembly
and the deletion of the question of East Timor from the
agendas of the Security Council and the General Assembly.
The treaty, witnessed by the Secretary General of the
United Nations, did not make the United Nations the
administrator of East Timor but did provide for UN
humanitarian assistance. Article 7 requested "the
Secretary-General to maintain an adequate United Nations
presence in East Timor." The DX Advisory and Awards
Committees quite possibly misinterpreted the language of
the treaty as conferring status of East Timor as a UN
administered territory which in fact was not the case.
Only when the referendum authorized by the treaty was
held and the East Timorese people declared themselves
independent was there a new entity. The role of UNTAET
(UN Transitional Administration in East Timor) was
humanitarian and peacekeeping and was not a
quasi-government authorized to issue amateur radio
licenses. UNTAET did not have the authority to issue
amateur radio licenses; it was a peacekeeping mission and
only after the referendum was there a Ministry of
Communications which does have that authority. The text
of the treaty for those interested is at http://www.un.org/peace/etimor99/agreement/agreeFrame_Eng01.html.
If ARRL agrees, the UN sanctioned operations in East
Timor would be deleted on the ground that East Timor was
not an entity under the rules and a new entity, would be
created effective 20 May 2002, the date of the creation
of the East Timorese state. Democratic Republic of Timor
Leste became a UN state on 27 September, 2002. ITU has
reassigned 4WA-4WZ to the Democratic Republic of Timor
Leste on 23 April, 2003."
