Ola 
amigos

Com alegria estamos 
veiculando e informando aos amigos do DXs o comunicado sobre a realização da 
expedição aos Rochedos de São Pedro e São Paulo.
Graças aos 
inestimáveis apoios da Marinha, Ministério do Meio Ambiente, SECIRM, LABRE e 
ANATEL, recebemos oficialmente a aprovação de nosso pleito para realização de 
uma expedição aos Rochedos para final de Novembro inicio de 
Dezembro.

Alguns aspectos 
importantes do Plano da Expedição

  Nosso log será 
  atualizado dentro de 36 horas no LOTW 
  Daremos atenção 
  especial as bandas baixas 80 e 160 
  Estaremos 
  utilizando antenas especiais para este tipo de expedição, sendo que 
  diosponibilizaremos os projetos para radioamadores interessados. - antenas 
  verticais sobre agua salgada. 
  Estaremos em 
  parceria como SECIRM colaborando com as pesquisas cientificas no Arquipelago 
  fazendo doações de equipamentos auxiliares para tal 
  Estaremos dotando 
  os Rochedos de uma estação que ficará a disposição do SECIRM para  ser 
  utilizada por radioamadores pesquisadores. 
  Em virtude do 
  projeto das estações foi absolutamente  minizado impactos ao meio 
  ambiente.
Nosso site deverá 
conter todas as informações necessárias sobre a expedição

Desejamos a todos 
boa sorte e que Deus abençoe a expedição

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.
