The team will consist of leader BV5AF, BV2AP, BV4AS, BV4OB and OH2BH. The call signs BV0ARL/BV9P or simply BV9P will be used. This initial operation will be approximately four and a half hours, from 0300z until 0730z, according to BV5AF, and will hopefully open the door for a larger operation in March. There is currently no DXCC status for this island. NNNN -- James J. Reisert Internet: reisert@wrksys.enet.dec.com Digital Equipment Corp.
