TI9K
TI9 - TI9K was expected to become active from Isla del Coco a few days ago, but it has been delayed (not cancelled!) by a bureaucratic hiccup. A new callsign (TI9KK) has been issued and the team was able to leave for Cocos around 18 UTC on 6 February. Operations are expected to start on the 8th and plans are to depart the island on the 14th. QSL via EA2CRX. The website for the expedition is at www.ti9.eu.com [TNX DJ7JC]

TI9, COCOS ISLAND (Update/QSL Route Change). The international team of operators are now active as TI9KK (not TI9K as first announced). Activity will last until February 14th. Operations will be on all modes and bands including 60 meters and EME, with 6 stations on the air. It was announced last week (by DH8WR/EA2CRX, DJ7JC and OE9AMJ) that the QSL Manager was changed for this operation. The new QSL Manager is EA1DR. However, beware that the TI9 Web site still states EA2CRX, but QRZ.com does have the correct QSL info. There will be E-mail requests for Bureau QSLs. However, Bureau QSLs will be sent via the Bureau later. For more details and updates, visit the TI9 Web page at:
