   4W, TIMOR-LESTE (URE - RadioSolidaridad Press Release). The following   
   was received last week from "URE - RadioSolidaridad":   
     "The Union de Radioaficionados Espanoles, URE, (The Spanish Amateur   
   Radio League) is proud to announce a project in East Timor to take place   
   in June 2008. URE's Radiosolidarity Department will organize an Amateur   
   Radio DXpedition, combined with activities to promote Amateur Radio   
   including the donation and setting up of a complete amateur radio   
   station at the University of Dili. It is hoped that by operating alongside   
   students and teachers of the Electrical Engineering and other departments   
   it will be possible to sow the seeds of future amateur radio activity of   
   a permanent nature in East Timor.   
      
     During the last few years URE's Radiosolidarity has been involved in   
   projects in the following countries:   
     1998-TJ2RSF-Cameroun [ in collaboration with RSF]   
     1998/1999-Cuba [campaign of donation of material]   
     1999-HU4U-El Salvador   
     2000-HQ0R-Honduras   
     2001-TG0R-Guatemala   
     2003-ZA1A-Albania [an IARU project]   
     2004-7W0AD-Algeria   
     2004-T42R-Cuba   
     2005-TZ6DEL-Mali   
     2007-T42R-Cuba   
     2007-HQ2R-Honduras   
      
     This new project will take place in cooperation with the University of   
   Dili, located in the capital of East Timor. We don't yet know the callsign   
   that will be used; whether it will be a special one for the occasion,   
   hopefully 4W6R, the callsign of the University (4W6UTL) or the callsign   
   of one of the operators (4W6ERC).   
      
     The group that will take part in the activity is made up of the   
   following experienced operators:   
      EA1QF Angel (team leader)           EA4KA Eugene   
      EA3CUU Pere                         EA5BWR Txema   
      EA4DB (ex-EA4BPJ) Jose              CT1ERC Jose   
      
                     QSLs will be via EA4URE.   
      
     A complete station (Kenwood TS690 + Mosley TA63M + G5RV + rotor) will   
   be donated to and installed at the University of Dili for use of the   
   students and teachers of the Electrical Engineering Department or anyone   
   else who might be interested in Amateur Radio. Another station will be   
   set up, temporarily, at the team=B4s lodgings in order to have two stations   
   (CW and SSB) operating permanently during the 15 days of operation. Time   
   will be spent on other modes (RTTY, etc) and special attention will be   
   paid to operation on six meters.   
      
     The majority of this project`s funding is provided by the Alicante   
   Provincial Government and by URE. The rest of the budget, at this time,   
   will be down to the operators although we have already received news of   
   some small but useful donations. We would be very grateful if individuals   
   and organizations could consider making contributions to this project at   
   any time, including after the operation. Please bear in mind the following   
   two considerations.   
      
     The objective of this project is to contribute to the development of a   
   very young country and to promote amateur radio activity by East Timor   
   nationals.   
      
     The DXpedition part of the activity is intended to achieve 30,000 plus   
   QSOs in spite of the limitations imposed on us. We feel able to achieve   
   this due to the very considerable experience of our six-man team of proven   
   DXpedition operators."   
      
   5B4 & G4, CYPRUS AND ENGLAND (Contesting from 2 QTHs!). Terry, G4MKP,   
   will be operating as G4MKP (home QTH) during the CQ WPX SSB Contest on   
   Saturday, March 29th, but also plans to be active from Cyprus (5B4) on   
   Sunday for a few hours too (after 1700z).   
      
   5T, MAURITANIA. A German team of operators will be active from Nouakchott   
   between March 15-30th. No callsign(s) were provided. They plan to be active   
   in the CQWW WPX SSB Contest (March -29-30th) as a Multi-? entry. Operators   
   mentioned are: DK8YY, DL2ARD, DL2JRM, DL3JJ, DL4JS, DL5SE and DL7ZZ. QSL   
   via DH7WW, direct or by the DARC Bureau.

   April 6-12th. Operators mentioned are Ronnie/SM7DKF, Goran/SM7DLK, Mats/

   have two stations on 160-10 meters operating CW and SSB, with monoband   
   yagis and verticals. QSL via SM7DXQ.   
      
   6Y, JAMAICA (60m Activity). Frank, K3TRM, informs OPDX that he is returning   
   to Lucea, Jamaica (NA-097), again for vacation and will be active as   
   K3TRM/6Y5 from March 14-23rd. Activity will be on 80-10 meters SSB, CW,   
   and RTTY. He has also received permission from the Jamaican authorities   
   to activate 60 meters for the first time from Jamaica. QSL via his home
