"We have been building the radio team over the past year", the latest (14 June) post on http://vk0ek.org/ says, "and we have more than half the projected 20 participants committed. Unfortunately, in the past two months five team members withdrew, including the team leader, citing conflicts or the desire to participate in a shorter, less challenging DXpedition". Therefore it has been decided to completely reorganize the radio team. "The first step is to identify a new team leader who is widely respected in the DXing community and experienced with organizing and leading DXpeditions to rare locations. The new team leader will have the authority and responsibility for re-building the radio team and for managing the amateur radio operations on Heard Island". W1AW WAS ---> Look for ARRL Centennial stations W1AW/3 from Maryland and W1AW/9 from Illinois to be on the air starting at 00.00 UTC on 25 June until 23.59 UTC on 1 July.

WRTC 2014: CALLSIGNS ---> WRTC teams will be using 59 of the 75 call signs in the "1 x 1" special event block for the first call area, from K1A through W1Z. Sixteen of the available 75 callsigns will not be used, including the longest and shortest CW suffixes (J, Q, Y, E), suffixes that are frequently miscopied on CW (H) and suffixes not available in this callsign series (X). The teams will not know the callsign they will use until the referee hands them a sealed envelope just 15 minutes before the contest begins. This puts all teams at an equal starting point and helps maintain the anonymity of the teams.
