The Araucaria DX Group has announced that it has received permission from the Brazilian Navy Brazilian Navy to conduct a DXpedition from Saint Peter & Saint Paul Archipelago (SA-014) in the October-November 2025 timeframe.
This DXCC Entity was last activated in 2012. "Since then permission to land and operate from the rocks has not been granted. Our Radio In a Box (RIB) capability enables us to make this activation possible without the operators being physically on the rocks, thereby meeting the key requirement of the Navy for a very small footprint operation with minimum human presence. According to the permit, two of us will be allowed to land each day for a limited time to refuel the generators and make any necessary repairs".
Plans are to deploy five RIBs for a total of 6 stations, and to operate CW, SSB and FT8 on 160-6 metres. There will be six local operators (AA7JV, HA7RY, KN4EEI, KO8SCA, PY2XB and PY5CC) who will be based on a boat anchored a short distance from the rocks. The local team will be complemented by a number of remote operators. Further information, including dates and callsign, will be provided in due course. Bookmark https://py0s2025.com for updates.
