Help to Palmyra DXpedition please...
I would like to ask for kind help to Joe, W8GEX as follows:
Janet W8CAA and Joe, W8GEX are
in charge of fundraising for the upcoming Palmyra DXpedition. They
have already asked the large foundations and large clubs in
Europe for help, but the KH5 DXpedition is still in need of
money to meet their budget. A large payment is due on 1st Nov.
As you know KH5 is high on the most wanted list in Europe. There has not been a great response from news releases so they would like to write to the European clubs and individuals for support. This is a huge undertaking and they need money from everyone worldwide.
So this would be a huge help if some of us could participate for this trip.

Many thanks for reading and help if possible.

More about Gambia:
Gambia, or Republic of the Gambia, a country of western Africa. Gambia occupies a narrow strip on both sides of the Gambia River and is bounded by Senegal and the Atlantic Ocean. The total area is 4,361 square miles (11,295 km2).
Gambia consists mainly of savannas and marshes. The Gambia River is the chief waterway and is widely used for transport. The country has a tropical climate. Gambia's economy is based almost entirely on agriculture, which employs about 80 per cent of the workforce. Peanuts are the chief cash crop. Also important to the economy are fishing and tourism. Roads are poorly developed. There is an international airport near Banjul, at Yundum. Banjul is the principal seaport. The basic currency unit is the dalasi.
Gambia's population in 1993 was 1,025,867. Banjul, the capital, had a population of 42,326 in 1993. Most Gambians are Negroid; the major groups are the Malinké (Mandingo), Wolof, and Fulani. Islam is the predominant religion; less than 10 per cent of the population is Christian. The literacy rate is about 25 per cent, and about half of the children of primary school age attend school.
Under the constitution of 1996 Gambia is a republic with an elected president. The country is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations.
Gambia was discovered by Portuguese navigators in the 15th century and came under British control in the 1600's. It was a part of Sierra Leone, 1807–43; a crown colony, 1843–66; and a part of the West African Settlements, 1866–88. Gambia became a separate crown colony again in 1888. In 1902 most of the area was formed into a protectorate; a small region centered on Banjul (then called Bathurst) remained a colony. Gambia was granted independence in 1965, and became a constitutional monarchy. Dawda Jawara was the first prime minister. In 1970 Gambia became a republic with Jawara as president. During 1981–89, Gambia was joined with Senegal in a loose confederation called Senegambia. In 1994 Jawara was overthrown in a military coup. In 1996 a democratic constitution was established and civilian rule was restored.

T42US - DX pedition to Cuba by Jim, WB2REM
according to preview message regarding the Cuba 60m band plan there I am sending the news about the T42US operation planned for October as announced by Jim, WB2REM...
Hi Group,
Thank you all for your suggestions and information. I will program my IC706 to TX in the Cuban band (TBA when we can scope out interference-radio has been modified) and receive on 5.4035 MHz (USB) or 5.4050 MHz (CW) – primary and if that gets too crowded we will monitor the other frequency of 5.3715 MHz (USB) or 5.3730 MHz (CW).
We will operate, when we can and during conditions on 60 Meters on non-contest days, Oct 21, 22 and 23 until 23:59Z. Then we will be back on October 26th and 27th (closing down late afternoon on the 27th). We will try to work as many of you as we can but probably won’t have internet accessibility to take requests or spot frequencies.
Please help to publicize our operation. We have already printed a beautiful commemorative QSL card and will also be using OQRS. Please visit our site for more information.

CO - Cuba on 60m by Pavel, CO7WT again...
Hi all,
I am re-posting this message from Pavel, CO7WT about the Cuban ´s permit on 60m band.
"Hi from CO7WT, Pavel in Camagüey, Cuba.
The Official Cuba segment in 60m is this:
5418 to 5430 Khz
In the following site (see link) you can find the original document that allows cuban's too use 60m band, I was active a time ago as the first Cuban ham in the band I was the first experimental license for 60m (Authorities call it 55m here).
http://www.mincom.gob.cu/?q=marcoregulatorio
I suggest 5425 Khz USB as main freq in Cuba, I have tried regular contacts with cuban's and others in this freq with success and no interference, just one time on the air I get required on the air to QRT by a primary user of the frequency.
If you plan to work split, be sure to listen from time to time on the TX freq, remember you are a secondary user.
73 de Pavel, CO7WT"
Pavel posted it to 60m Yahoo group list and suggested the QRG for planned DX-pedition from Cuba. It is useful to understand the system of approval on 60m for Cuba and remember it if you will be looking for CO on this band.

T2GC - Tuvalu on 60m by Stan, LZ1GC update
according to our short email discussion with Stan, LZ1GC there is proposed channels arrangement for their 60m band operation from Tuvalu as T2GC...
Stan will try with team operate on 5373kHz or 5405kHz on CW (appropriate QRGs on SSB for these channels of course). In case of pile-up and needs they will try to use 5373 and split up to 5405...
The most important will be the actual situation with radar QRM in this area.
Good luck to all,
73 - Petr, OK1RP
