   First DXpedition to Antipodes Islands (ZL9), OC-286 New!   
      
   "Department of Conservation of New Zealand has issued for the first time   
   landing and operating permits for the activation of Antipodes Is. (ZL9),   
   OC-286 New. The team includes Cezar (VE3LYC), Craig (VK5CE), Stan (SQ8X), and   
   Bob (KD1CT), who will attempt    
   to operate between January 7 and 11, 2016. The team will assist in the mouse   
   eradication program on Antipodes, and support other critical research   
   activities there. Details will be made available soon on the expedition   
   website.   
      
   DXCC is expected to announce later this week a re-naming of the existing ZL9   
   entity ‘Auckland & Campbell Is.' to also include other New Zealand   
   Sub-Antarctic Islands. ZL9 ranks #37 on the current ClubLog DXCC Most Wanted   
   List. The team will operate CW    
   and SSB on all bands from 10 to 40 m, running two stations around the clock.   
      
   Given the large cost of this project, in excess of $50,000, the operators call   
   upon the DX and IOTA communities to consider assisting them financially in   
   order to offset some of their travel expenses. Donations can be sent by paypal   
   to ve3lyc@hotmail.com,   
    and all donors will be acknowledged on the expedition website."
