CE0Z   - As of 12 January, the CB0ZA DXpedition's two air freight shipments sent out of Miami last month had cleared Chilean customs, and were at the port in Valparaiso and scheduled for shipment by cargo vessel out to Robinson Crusoe Island, Juan Fernandez. The DXpedition is set for 10-24 February. The operation by the 7-member on-island team will be complimented by an off-island team of over 30 remote operators from around the world. They will be using a NexGenRiB (Radio in a Box, developed by Gregg, W6IZT, with assistance from Warren, KD4Z and John N4IHV) on FT8 and CW with the callsign CB0ZEW. As for FT8 operations, please note that the CB0ZEW remote station will be using WSJT-X running Fox/Hound mode, while the CB0ZA onisland stations will be running MSHV software. "The DXpedition made the decision to use the different callsign for two reasons. First, it is a way to commemorate the DXpedition's organizer Marco Quijada, CE1EW who became a Silent Key in November. The second reason is to distinguish the DXpedition's remote CB0ZEW QSOs from the on-island CB0ZA QSOs. Because the remote CB0ZEW contacts will NOT count for IOTA under current rules in the IOTA program, the team felt the easiest way to manage this issue and honor IOTA's requirements would be by simply operating the remote RiB with a different call sign". For both callsigns QSL via Club Log's OQRS, or direct to N2OO. In addition to the original DXpedition budget, the team has incurred some significant unforeseen expenses: "so at this time we are appealing to DXers who have not lent support to the DXpedition to please consider making a donation".
