| All 3D2R Team members have now assembled in Suva, Fiji. Upon our arrival, we learned that our shipping container is delayed in New Zealand. Fortunately, the team members have brought radios, amplifiers and antennas with them to Fiji. We will be able to run five stations and emphasize the low-bands as planned. We are now preparing our ship for our two day voyage to Rotuma. We anticipate arriving in Rotuma late in the evening of September 27th and we expect to be active early on September 28th. The 3D2R team wishes you good luck and good fun in working us. |

| After many months of careful planning, we are pleased to announce that our preparations for a large multi-national DXpedition to Rotuma are going according to plan. Rotuma is located in the South Pacific Ocean and is #32 on Club Log’s most wanted DXCC list. The Team is meeting in Lami Bay, Suva on September 22nd and departing by ship to Rotuma on September 25th. The Team expects to arrive in Rotuma and become active on Tuesday, September 27th. We will complete our DXpedition on October 7th, 2011. The main goals of this DXpedition are to work every amateur radio operator who needs Rotuma for a new DXCC country. In addition, we will be active on all bands from 1.8 MHz to 144 MHz, including the 5MHz and 50 MHz bands. In addition to CW, SSB and RTTY we will be active on PSK, SSTV and EME. Special attention will be made to work far away stations such as Europe and Africa during those periods when propagation permits. The propagation window for EU and Africa is very brief at times and signals may be weak, so we ask everyone in the honored HAM SPIRIT to stand by when asked so that we may fulfill this need. Our destination will have a wide range of options and possibilities. We plan to upload our logs on a daily basis to our on-line log. We will upload to LOTW approximately six months following the DXpedition. We wish everyone good propagation and we hope that you enjoy working the 3D2R Team. At this time, we are seeking additional Club and Individual Sponsors to help us defray the costs of carrying out this DXpedition. |

| The team of experienced amateur and friends prepared a serious amateur expedition to the far island Rotuma, which belongs to the state Fiji, but it is very important for the amateur, because it counts as a separate country by DXCC list. Our goal is to activate the beautiful island of Rotuma in all amateur frequency from 1.8 MHz to 144 MHz and all amateur modes. Our team will work CW, SSB, FM, RTTY, SSTV, PSK etc... The team of experienced amateur and friends will gather at the 24th Fiji September 2011 and expect a departure from the port of Suva 25th In September 2011 around noon. The journey takes 36 hours. We expect the first activity at amateur frequencies on 27th September 2011 and will be active the next 10 days. Return to Fiji is expected 8.oktobra 2011 in the morning in the same harbor where we came from!! We hope that the whole amateur world will enjoy the amateur activity and QSO's with our team. |

| The boat chartered for sailing to Kanton is delayed and will not arrive in Apia until late the 14th or early 15th, so the departure is delayed until maybe as late as the 16th. The boat captain arrived in Apia by plane. All operators are anxious about the delay as to how it may affect the T31A total operating days and also return flights to home QTHs beginning on May 2nd. Part of team, W6KK, EA1IR and YT1AD make decision not to going on island according obligations and not having clear return date. Also, there exist other personal reasons which make us take the decision of not boarding the boat. Carlos, EA1IR and Hrane YT1AD will make short expedition in few Pacific Isl. 20.04 till 22.04 they will QRV as 3D2IR and 3D2AD.
