> Abaixo transcrevemos o anuncio oficial da Expedição
>
> The Araucaria DX Group, in conjunction with the TX3A Team, is pleased to
> announce a DXpedition to St. Peter and St. Paul Rocks, PY0S, under the
> call sign PT0S. The DXpedition will take place in the late November to mid
> December, 2012 time frame. The actual dates will depend on weather
> conditions and will be announced later on this website.
>
>
>
> There has been an official ban on Amateur Radio activities from PY0S.
> Although the ban, which was created for environmental and safety reasons,
> remains in place, the Araucaria DX Group was given a special permit by
> Brazil's SECIRM (Secretaria da Comissao Interministerial para Os Recursos
> do Mar), the Brazilian Navy, Ministry of Environment and LABRE to conduct
> a two week long operation.
>
> The operation will have a strong low band focus. There will be a dedicated
> 160 meter station operating on 160 meters from sunset to sunrise. A second
> station will be on 80 and 40 meters at night. During the day we will
> operate two stations on the higher bands -- and 6 meters -- based on
> conditions. RTTY will also be supported.
>
> The DXpedition's goal is to give this rare and difficult entity to as many
> amateurs as possible, taking maximum advantage of this unique opportunity.
> The group will be using newly designed RX antennas and receiving equipment
> to allow small and QRP stations to work PT0S on all bands, but especially
> on 80 and 160 meters.
>
> All QSO-s will be loaded onto LoTW within 36 hours of taking place.
>
> Operators will be Fred Carvalho PY2XB (PY2XB/PY0F, PQ0F, VP5/PY2XB,
> 8P9XB), Peter Sprengel PP5XX/PY5CC (PY0FM, PW0T, HK0NA). Tomi Pekarik,
> HA7RY and George Wallner, AA7JV. Due to environmental considerations, we
> have been limited to four operators.
>
> About The Araucaria DX Group
> The Araucaria DX Group (GRUPO ARAUCARIA DE DX) was formed in the 70s by
> mostly Brazilian amateur radio enthusiasts. Today it has become a
> multinational group focused on contesting and dxing. The group currently
> has 340 members, of which about 100 are from outside Brazil. The group
> includes 15 top of Honor Roll and several Contest Hall of Fame members.
> For details go to: http://www.araucariadx.com
>
> About the TX3A Team:
> The TX3A Team of HA7RY and AA7JV have conducted a number of two-man
> DXpeditions to Chesterfield Reef (TX3A), Mellish Reef (VK9GMW), Serrana
> Bank - Bajo Nouveo (5K0T) and Willis Islets (VK9WWI). The team focuses on
> putting difficult places on the air, especially on the low bands.

> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
>
>
> The Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago (ASPSP) is a group of 15 small
> islets and rocks in the Atlantic Ocean, lying close to the equator and
> about 520 nautical miles (990 km) east of the Brazilian city of Natal. The
> rocks are close to the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), are area of
> constant and severe thunderstorms, resulting in permanently noisy radio
> conditions, especially on the lower bands. The rocks are located
> relatively close to both North America and Europe. We hope that the
> proximity of the rocks to Europe and North America will allow relatively
> small stations to work this rare entity.
>
> We will be operating from the largest rock, called Belmonte. This is a
> very a difficult place to operate from. Although the Brazilian navy
> maintains a scientific research station on Belmonte, which is manned year
> around, we will have to be totally self-reliant and will be unable to use
> station's facilities. Apart from the location of the research station,
> there is no flat ground on the rocks. We will be taking a pre-fabricated
> platform on which we will erect our tent.
>
> Due to their strategic importance, the Rocks of St. Peter and St. Paul are
> treated differently by the Brazilian government to other islands in its
> territory. The Secretariat of the Interministerial Commission for Sea
> Resources (SECIRM) manages the archipelago in a manner the maximizes
> protection of national and environmental interests in the region. The
> infrastructure of the archipelago is very complex. Researchers take turns
> constantly on the research station located on Belmonte islet. The conduct
> research in areas of geology, biology, oceanography, meteorology and other
> academic and national interest. The difficulties of access in terms of
> almost 1,000 km distance that separates this small part of the country
> from the continent, the absence of drinking water, the frequent
> earthquakes; are just some of the difficulties encountered by the
> Brazilian government in managing the site.
>
> As a consequence of several meetings with the Brazilian authorities, the
> organizers of the Expedition, represented by the Araucaria Dx Group's
> Chairman (PY5EG Atilano de Oms), had the opportunity to show the relevance
> of ham radio activity to the communications community as well how the
> Dx-Pedition intends to cooperate to meet the requirements of the
> occupation of the archipelago and demonstrate its compatibility with the
> ongoing activities. The Brazilian Navy through SECIRM is giving total
> support to the expedition.
> Due to the fact that the archipelago is a very important natural Brazilian
> reserve, a special permit from Ministry of Environment ( ICMBIOS) has been
> issued (NR 01-2012).
> The expedition has also received a fundamental support from the Brazilian
> Amateur Radio League LABRE, as well from ANATEL (Agencia Nacional de
> Telecomunicacoes). A special call has been assigned PT0S.
> During all contacts with the Brazilian entities, we emphasized the
> importance of the work done by radio amateurs and reciprocity that could
> derive from this understanding. The operation is aimed not only at
> bringing this rare location to the DX community, but also to demonstrate
> that Amateur Radio is in fact totally compatible with the scientific and
> environmentally sensitive nature of the St. Peter and St. Paul
> Archipelago.
> The Araucaria DX Group greatly appreciates the understanding and support
> of all its friends and Brazilian authorities.
>
> Additional Background:
> The archipelago of St Peter and St Paul is a group of small rocky islands
> and rocky which is situated in the central equatorial Atlantic Ocean,
> lying 627 km from the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, 986 km the
> nearest point on the mainland and 1010 km from Natal, in Rio Grande do
> Norte. It was declared as part of the Brazilian territory, according to
> IBGE belonging to the state of Pernambuco, despite being closer to the
> state of Rio Grande do Norte. In 1998 a scientific station was opened on
> the island Belmonte, initiating the program Archipelago of Sao Pedro and
> Sao Paulo (Proarquipelago) administered by the Secretariat of the
> Interministerial Commission for Sea Resources (SECIRM). The permanent
> presence of scientists in scientific station is required to prove the
> livability in the archipelago, which is seen as crucial for its
> international recognition as the archipelago as Brazilian territory.
