    There's another rare DXPedition just on the horizon! PT0S, St. Peter and Saint Paul Rocks is scheduled for November through the 22nd, 2012 (approximately). Saint Peter and Saint Paul Rocks is an ATNO (all time new one) DXCC for me. Cruising their Website at PT0S.com, I see this is very rare opportunity and possibly the last time we'll have a chance at working the Rocks. There's been an official ban on Amateur Radio activities for quite some time, and it appears they've been given a one-time special operating permit for this DXPedition.
