H40 - There have been some changes in VE3LYC's original time schedule of
his Duff Islands project [425DXN 1389]. Cezar has decided to start
earlier and lengthen the DXpedition by a week, in order to include
some contingency in case weather and sea conditions delay the
voyage to Taumako (OC-179). "If everything works well", he says, "I
should be finished with OC-179 before the end of April, and
hopefully have time to operate from a second or perhaps even a
third IOTA group in the area". His second target can be the
Vanikolo and Utupua Islands group (OC-163, H40), and the third the
Florida Islands (OC-158, H44). Bookmark http://oc-179.weebly.com
