PETER FIRST ISLAND.  3Y0PI has been very active and should remain so
until about February 19.  DXers bemoaning the tough winter of 1994,
check this out.  Last Saturday 3Y0PI had to QRT
a storm that battered the team with 80 MPH winds and dumped five
feet of snow on them.  And this is during the Antarctic SUMMER/FALL.
 
Although some equipment was damaged, the team has made well over
20,000 Qs, more than 20 percent of their 100 Kilo-Q goal.  Listen
for them on CW, SSB, AmTOR, PacTOR and satellite.  EME operations
should commence soon.  QSL CW via KA6V, SSB via AA6BB.
 
LACCADIVE ISLANDS.  Geology students VU2STG and his newly licensed
XYL are on an exploration and study assignment.  During free time
they operate VU7LI on SSB only.  Please be patient as amateur radio
is not the primary purpose for their visits to the Laccadives and
equipment is minimal.  QSL via VU2STG.

1A0KM operation has been rescheduled for sometime in late February.
