3B7A ST. BRANDON ISLAND DXPEDITION NEWS (Press Release #5)[edited]. An
updated most wanted list has been published on Clublog. It now shows Saint
Brandon as the 27th most wanted entity worldwide (#19 NA, #17 SA, #33 AS,
#28 OC, #34 AF, #48 EU). This statistics clearly confirms the relevance
of our DXpedition, we knew the demand to be high more than 10 years after
3B7C.
Same as with our previous projects, we know a flawless preparation is
the key of the success. We are now working carefully on propagation fore-
cast. Of course our experience of this area is a big advantage, we know
some specifics tips, possible openings, etc. This forecasts will drive
our operations from the first to the very last day, giving priority to
the area with the shortest and most difficult conditions.
We would like to thanks our pilot team: Bjorn/ON9CFG, Paul/N6PSE,
Javi/LU5FF, Joe/JJ3PRT, and our "chief pilot" Michel/F6AGM (ex-FM5CD).
Please share your experience and all interesting information with your
local pilot during the expedition. We will be in touch with them on a
daily basis thanks to our satellite phone.
The pilots will NOT have access to the logs! Questions related to your
QSOs should be submitted to our QSL manager through the online form on
our website. Do not expect answer until we are back in France.
We would like to take advantage of this communication to wish good luck
to our 3Y0Z friends on the way to Bouvet.
Please keep on supporting our project on our website
<http://www.saintbrandondx.com/en/how-to-help-us/> and follow us on

3Y0Z BOUVET DXPEDITION NEWS (Press Release #12, dated January 16th).
Preparation for our departure continues, albeit at a somewhat slower
pace than we had hoped. However, the vessel is now fully fueled and all
our DXpedition gear, food, and medical and survival gear is aboard. And,
you have likely read that team members completed their cold water survival,
CPR, and fire-fighting training.
Two team leaders and our merchant marine captain team member (W7IV)
have been aboard the vessel. They observed the crew and contractors
working hard to complete their projects.
We are awaiting final clearance to sail which will be issued by the
Chilean Navy, the regulatory authority for maritime safety.
We remain confident in our success and are anxiously waiting to get
underway. Whatever delay we encounter will not impact our results on the
island.

3Y0Z BOUVET DXPEDITION NEWS (Posted on the Web, January 20th): We had an
uneventful traverse of the Straits of Magellan, and are currently just
southeast of the Falkland Islands, making approximately 11 knots. At the
moment, we have fair winds and following seas, and our weather forecast
looks good for the next 12 hours. However, the weather can change quickly
in this part of the world.
Our team is in good spirits, but one or two are feeling the effects of
moderate seasickness. We have one maritime mobile station active, with
most of our QSOs on 20 and 40m. We are running 100 watts to a Hustler
vertical on the bow of the ship and an OCF dipole hung from the bridge
area. Our transmissions include grid square information. We hope to add
a second station, soon.

DXCC NEWS (New Criterion for Political Entities). Thanks to "The Daily DX"
for sending out the following report [edited]:
Starting after the ARRL Board meeting today (January 20, 2018) a new
DXCC criterion will be added to Section II for Political Entities
(point 1). Currently there are three criteria for Political Entities.
If any one of the following three criteria are met the entity qualifies
as a Political Entity on the DXCC list:
1) United Nations Member State
2) Prefix is on ITU callsign prefix block
3) "The entity contains a permanent population, is administered by a
local government, and is located at least 800 km from its parent.
To satisfy the "permanent population" and "administered by a local
government" criteria of this sub-section, an Entity must be listed
on either (a) the U.S. Department of State's list of "Dependencies
and Areas of Special Sovereignty" <https://www.state.gov/s/inr/rls/10543.htm>
as having a local "Administrative Center," or (b) the United Nations
list of "Non-Self-Governing Territories.
<http://www.un.org/en/decolonization/nonselfgovterritories.shtml>"
The new criterion, which goes into effect after the BOD meeting, will be
if the potential entity is a member society of the IARU
<http://www.iaru.org/member-societies.html> and is listed on the United
States Department of State Independent States of the World list
<https://www.state.gov/s/inr/rls/4250.htm>. The Entity must be on both
lists in order to qualify as a Political Entity. QRX for the exact timing
that the new rule will go into effect.

KH1/KH7Z BAKER ISLAND DXPEDITION NEWS (Press Release by Don/N1DG, dated
January 16th). The Dateline DX Association is pleased to announce major
equipment support from Elecraft, DX Engineering, and SteppIR Communi-
cations Systems for its KH1/KH7Z Baker Island 2018 DXpedition.
For the KH1/KH7Z operation, Elecraft will supply the highly reliable
K3S transceivers and their matching KPA500 amplifiers. These radios are
veterans of several highly successful major DXpeditions and will greatly
aid our goal of many ATNO contacts.
Our use permit for access to the Baker National Wildlife Refuge restricts
the type and height of antennas we can use for KH1/KH7Z. SteppIR Commun-
ications Systems is working with team member George Wallner, AA7JV, with
antennas that are acceptable to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Every operation of this size needs a large number of critical equip-
ment items suitable for island operation. DX Engineering has stepped up
to offer those items on an as needed basis. DX Engineering continues to
support major DXpeditions, and is a quality supplier of everything needed
for the Amateur Radio community.
KH1 is the 4th most wanted entity. Our plans are to bring the KH1 entity
to as many operators, and countries as we can. Support from these equipment
vendors is appreciated and helps us meet our QSO goals. As with any DX-
pedition to the really rare ones, this will be another large budget oper-
ation. The operator team will contribute over 50% of the expected budget
of $400,000. You can help make this DXpedition happen by visiting our
website, and contributing today.

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.
