The 3Y0X team arrived at Peter I on 5 February at 21.35 local time (01.35 UTC<br />
of the 6th). It was foggy and windy, and they had to wait for the weather to<br />
clear. The first helicopter load landed on the island at 18.30 UTC on 7<br />
February; most of the team and 80% of the gear were flown ashore and 3Y0X<br />
became active in the early UTC morning of 8 February. The rest of the gear<br />
and the remaining three team members (NP4IW, K3VN and N4GRN) had to be<br />
transferred onto the island a few hours later, but the weather deteriorated<br />
and at 23.30 UTC of 9 February they were still on the ship.<br />
The suggested operating frequencies are:<br />

<strong>DX</strong>CC NEWS: K7C from Kure Atoll (25 September - 6 October 2005) has been<br />
approved for <strong>DX</strong>CC credit.<br />
<strong>DX</strong>CC RULE CHANGES? ---> The ARRL Programs and Services Committee (PSC) has<br />
asked the <strong>DX</strong> Advisory Committee (<strong>DX</strong>AC) to study the impact of amending the<br />
<strong>DX</strong>CC "political entities" rule. The change under consideration would revise<br />
Section II, "<strong>DX</strong>CC List Criteria," under "1. Political Entities," to add a<br />
Paragraph c) reading, "The Entity contains a permanent population, is<br />
administered by a local government and is located at least 800 km from its<br />
parent." The PSC has asked the <strong>DX</strong>AC to report back by 15 March. [TNX N7NG]<br />
T99D ---> This is the new callsign issued to Dalibor, T94DO. The QSL route<br />
has not changed and it is via DJ2MX. [TNX T99D]<br />
QSL MANAGER SURVEY ---> Conducted by the "Golist, QSL Manager List", the "Top<br />
5 QSL Managers" survey for 2005 closed on 30 January and resulted in 68<br />
different mangers being nominated. From this list of 68, the following Top 5<br />
(listed in alphabetical order) were selected based upon the greatest number<br />
of nominations received: Phil Whitechurch (G3SWH), Roger Western (G3SXW),<br />
Nigel Cawthorne (G3TXF), Antonio Cannataro (IZ8CCW), Joe Arcure (W3HNK). [TNX<br />

QSL VIA G0IAS ---> Allan, G0IAS has all of the late Ron Macfarlane's<br />
logbooks. These date back to 1947, and cover all of the QSOs made by Ron as<br />
GM3EAK, ZD6RM (when Malawi was called Nyasaland) and 7Q7RM. "I intend to<br />
close the logs on the anniversary of Ron's death in September", Allan says.<br />
QSL direct only.<br />
QSL VIA N2OO ---> Cards for XR9A/8, XR9A/MM and XR9A can be sent in the same<br />
envelope. Bob asks that cards for CE0Z via N2OO and 3Y0X be sent in separate<br />
envelopes, as sending cards for multiple calls in one envelope will seriously<br />
delay your QSL. [TNX N2OO]<br />
QSL VIA SM5DQC ---> SM5DQC (Osten B. Magnusson, Nyckelvagen 4, SE-59931<br />
Odeshog, Sweden) is the new QSL manager for ZK1EQL (2002 and 2005) and ZF2QL.<br />
Those who have already sent their cards to SM7EQL, should not resubmit. One<br />
USD does not cover postae from Sweden, but 1 IRC does. Bureau cards will be<br />
replied to some time in the future.<br />
YL WRTC 2006 TEAM ---> Our Community has a great desire to enlarge the<br />
participation of Ham Ladies in international contest activity. The WRTC2006<br />
Steering Committee is totally in line with this important objective.<br />
Discussing this matter with Alexander Teimurazov (4L5A), member of our WRTC<br />
2006 Honorary Board Committee, we came up with an action to really have a<br />
good use of the WRTC 2006 to comply with this objective.<br />
Has been decided by WRTC 2006 Steering Committee to accept Al's generous<br />
offer to specifically sponsor a Team representing the Ham contesting ladies<br />
of our hobby in WRTC 2006. 4L5A Al, is donating to WRTC 2006 USD 10,000 to<br />
have a new slot for YL TEAM in addition to the other ones already in place.<br />
Accordingly with our main philosophy of recognition of actual score as the<br />
instrument to choose the competitors, we invited Emily Thiel (P43E), the<br />
highest level points among all women applications, to be the YL Team-Leader.<br />
Also accordingly our general practices we gave Emily the free option to<br />
nominate her Team-Mate. She decided to invite Ann M. Santos (WA1S)) as
Team-Mate, coincidentally the third YL highest score. [TNX PY5EG and 4L5A,<br />

FR/G - In February 2005, an outbreak of chikungunya (a form of viral<br />
fever<br />
spread by mosquitoes) was recorded on Reunion and around the 20%<br />
of<br />
the residents have been hit by the virus, and with 77 deaths<br />
have<br />
been associated to chikungunya. A conditional clearance to<br />
organize<br />
the <strong>DX</strong>pedition to Glorioso (http://glorieuses2005.free.fr/)<br />
has<br />
been given by the military HQ on Reunion. However, the<br />
current<br />
health situation in the area (neither specific treatment<br />
nor<br />
vaccine are currently available for chikungunya) advises<br />
the<br />
organizers not to make the trip now, but to put off it<br />

NOT THE MANAGER ---> Steve, 9M6<strong>DX</strong>X understands that the <strong>DX</strong>4Win program shows<br />
a JA QSL manager for 9M6<strong>DX</strong>X. This is incorrect: this callsign has never been<br />
issued before, and Steve has never had a QSL manager in Japan (or elsewhere).<br />
The only correct QSL route for 9M6<strong>DX</strong>X is direct only (there is no functioning<br />
QSL bureau in East Malaysia) to Steve Telenius-Lowe, WDT 527, 88905 Kota<br />
Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. Do not use his old address is in England, as Steve<br />

BELGIUM: VANITY CALLS ---> Franki, ON5ZO (UBA HF Manager) reports that<br />
amateur radio operators from Belgium can now apply for a secondary 2x1 vanity<br />
callsign with all possible ITU prefixes allocated to that country (but OT5x<br />
and OR5x are still reserved for club stations). The primary focus of these<br />
new calls is contesting, but they can also be used for everyday <strong>DX</strong>ing.<br />
Koen, ON4CCP says his vanity call is OT1A, which was used back in contests<br />
back in 2001. Please note that the new QSL route is via ON4CCP (no longer via<br />
ON7LR).<br />
CQ <strong>DX</strong> MARATHON ---> Last run in 1948, the new CQ <strong>DX</strong> Marathon is a year-long<br />
<strong>DX</strong> hunt, with participants competing to see who can work the greatest number<br />
of countries ("entities") and CQ zones over the course of a full year, then<br />
starting again at zero at the beginning of the next year. This year's<br />
Marathon began at 00.00 UTC on 1 January 1 and will end at 23.59 UTC on 31<br />
December. A new dedicated web site has been established at www.dxmarathon.com<br />

HUNGARY: 6 & 40 METRES ---> Effective 29 March amateur radio operators in<br />
Hungary can start using the 50-52 MHz band on a secondary, non-interference<br />
basis. All stations holding a CEPT-equivalent licence are automatically<br />
granted access: the power limit is 10W ERP and mobile operations on 6 metres<br />
are not allowed. Hungarian amateurs have also gained access to the 7100-7200<br />
kHz segment on 40 metres. [TNX HA5X]<br />
NOT THE MANAGER ---> Oreste, IZ8EDJ is receiving cards for V59SWK, but he is<br />
not the QSL manager for that station. Oreste says he currently handles only<br />
V51KC, V55O, YI3SRA and IR8C.<br />
QRP MAS ---> The QRP Contest Community (http://www.qrpcc.de/) invites to take<br />
part in the 7th QRP Minimal Art Session (qrp-mas) that will take place on 25<br />
May from 19 to 23 UTC on 80 metres CW. Contacts shall be made with homebrew<br />
rigs as simple as possible and constructed of as few components as possible.<br />
Further information can be found on QRPCC's website or from Hartmut Weber,<br />
DJ7ST (dj7st@darc.de). [TNX DJ7ST]<br />
QSL 9M6AAC ---> DJ8XW and DL2QT recently operated from 9M6AAC at Hillview<br />
Gardens in East Malaysia. The permanent QSL manager for all operations from<br />
9M6AAC over the past 10 years is N2OO. The QSL route announced by DJ8XW and<br />
DL2QT ("via DL2QT") is incorrect, but they will answer whatever cards do go<br />
via that route if they have already been sent there. [TNX N2OO]<br />
QSL VIA YB1BOD/6 ---> Donny reports that his correct address is: Donny<br />
Sirait, P.O. Box 1206, Medan 20001, Indonesia. Donny is the QSL manager for<br />
the recent operation from Simeulue Island (OC-270). Stations from Europe only<br />
can send their request to IZ8CCW.<br />
SINGAPORE: 40 & 80 METRES ---> David, 9V1RH would like to remind readers of<br />
<strong>425</strong> <strong>DX</strong> <strong>News</strong> that "since September 2005 9V1 amateurs may use the band 7.0 to<br />
7.2 MHz. So if the QRM below 7.1 MHz is too heavy, calling CQ Contest<br />
listening 7,110 may get an easy contact. For 9M2, 9M6, 9M8, 9V1 and YB/YC the<br />
75/80 metre band runs from 3,500 to 3,900 kHz, so it is possible to work<br />
split with us above the <strong>DX</strong> window".<br />
W5<strong>DX</strong>CC ---> The Lone Star <strong>DX</strong> Association in conjunction with Ham-Com 2006<br />
will host this year's W5<strong>DX</strong>CC, to be held on 9-10 June in Plano, TX. The main<br />
event will be a dinner at the Southfork Hotel on Friday evening (this year's<br />
featured speaker and programme at the dinner event will be Bob Allphin, K4UEE<br />
and the 3Y0X <strong>DX</strong>pedition to Peter I Island), but there will be additional <strong>DX</strong><br />
events on Friday and Saturday at the convention center. To order tickets or
ead about additional <strong>DX</strong> programme information, please visit<br />

ARI CONTEST ---> The ARI International <strong>DX</strong> Contest will be held on 6-7 May,<br />
from 20.00 UTC on Saturday through 19.59 UTC on Sunday. Full information can<br />
be found at http://www.ari.it/hf/contests/ari/<strong>DX</strong>_rul_ing_new.html [TNX

ON40DST ---> UBA Section Diest (ON4DST) sponsors an award to celebrate its<br />
40th anniversary. The award is for working UBA-DST members and ON40DST, the<br />
special call issued to the club. Further information can be found at<br />
www.qrz.com under ON40DST. [TNX ON8JP]<br />
QSL VU4AN/ ---> There is conflicting QSL information for a few VU4AN/<br />
stations. Apparently not all of the operators who were supposed to use F5CWU<br />
as their QSL manager (http://www.dx-pedition.de/andaman2006/) have agreed<br />
upon this route. First hand information collected from the operators<br />
concerned is that cards for VU4AN/VU3PLM (operated by Claudia, IZ1GLO/K2LEO)<br />
and VU4AN/VU3TLY (operated by Andrea, IK1PMR) can go via IK1PMR, while cards<br />
for VU4AN/VU3RWO (operated by Dave, K3LP) should go via N3ST.<br />

[TNX F6FNA]<br />
QSL 3Y0X ---> The first batch of cards (115 pounds/52 kilograms) was sent out<br />
on 8 May. They were mailed to about 2/3 of the individuals who contributed to<br />
the <strong>DX</strong>pedition expenses AND whose cards were received through the beginning<br />
of April. Over the next two weeks, the remainder of this group of cards will<br />
be processed. After Dayton, the QSL team will resume processing the rest of<br />
the contributor cards as well as the non-contributor cards. Bureau cards will<br />
be processed at an appropriate time in the future. Please refrain from<br />

YX0A/YX0LIX operation, as well as a flood of emails relative to QSOs not<br />
being in the log, or incorrect band/mode. "You can trust that I will<br />
thorougly examine each of your QSOs against the log", he says, "and do my<br />
best to ensure that you get credit for each QSO that match the log entries. I<br />
suspect many of the issues raised in the emails will be resolved". Steve asks<br />
not to include QSLs for other stations he manages with your YX0A/YX0LIX<br />
cards, as this this will substantially delay your QSL return. Bureau cards<br />
will be honoured and logs will be posted on LOTW (even though not in the near<br />
future).<br />

CQ HALLS OF FAME ---> The CQ Amateur Radio Hall of Fame was established in<br />
January 2001 to recognize individuals - radio amateurs or not - who<br />

Russell A. Hulse, ex-WB2LAV Arne Trossman, W2DTJ<br />
Edgar F. Johnson, 9ALD<br />
The CQ Contest Hall of Fame was established in 1986 to recognize Amateur<br />
Radio operators who have made major contributions to contesting. This year's<br />
inductees are Tim Duffy (K3LR) and the late Bill Fisher (W4AN).<br />
The CQ <strong>DX</strong> Hall of Fame was established in 1967 to recognize major<br />
contributions by <strong>DX</strong>ers. This year's inductees are Ralph Fedor (K0IR) and Don<br />
Greenbaum (N1DG).<br />
<strong>DX</strong>CC FEES ---> The <strong>DX</strong>CC programme fees will rise slightly effective 1 July.<br />
The fee for a basic <strong>DX</strong>CC application (including certificate and pin for<br />
initial applications only, 120 QSOs maximum) and for first endorsement<br />
applications within a year will increase to $12 for ARRL members and to $22<br />
for foreign nonmembers. Second and subsequent endorsements (120 QSOs maximum)<br />
within a year will be $22 for ARRL members and $32 for foreign nonmembers.<br />
The cost of other <strong>DX</strong>CC-related items such as plaques and pins also will go up<br />
on 1 July.<br />

HUNGARY ---> Effective 25 May 2006, amateur radio regulations in Hungary have<br />
changed significantly, in many respects breaking with age-long traditions,<br />
Chris (HA5X) reports. Key changes that also affect the international amateur<br />
radio community are as follows:<br />
* ECC REC (05)06 on the "CEPT Novice Licence" is implemented.<br />
Foreign<br />
visitors holding a "CEPT Novice Licence" can now work in Hungary<br />
using<br />
HA/home call. The CEPT Novice licence grants access to 160m, 80m, 40m,<br />
15m,<br />
10m, 2m, 70cm and 23cm bands, with reduced power levels. Please look<br />
up<br />
rules before operating!<br />
* Morse-code is no longer a requirement, VHF licencees can start using<br />
HF<br />
bands, without changing their HG callsigns. A 6 WPM Morse proficiency<br />
exam<br />
is still necessary to make CW QSOs, unless the CW QSO is between<br />
two<br />
computers.<br />
* Geographic call area numbers no longer exist in callsigns.<br />
* Callsign rules simplified, thus allowing for a wider choice<br />
of<br />
possibilities.<br />
* A new, simplified entry level exam and licence will be introduced<br />
for<br />
youngsters and seniors later this year.<br />
* Earlier licence levels consolidated into two: "CEPT Novice" and "CEPT".<br />
All<br />
existing licencees get more privileges with this change.

4W6AAB ---> Michael, PA5M (4W6AAB) went QRT from Timor Leste earlier than<br />
expected. On 27 May he and the rest of the UN WFP (World Food Program)<br />
personnel were evacuated from the country because of security concerns.<br />
4W6AAB made 456 QSOs and his log is available at http://www.4w.pa7fm.nl/. QSL<br />
via PA7FM.<br />
IOTA HONOUR ROLL ---> The IOTA Annual Listings as at February 2006 are now<br />
available on the IOTA Manager's web site (http://www.g3kma.dsl.pipex.com/).<br />
The performance tables include the Honour Roll and the Annual Listing, as<br />
well as the VHF/UHF, Club and SWL listings. Listing in the 2006 tables was<br />
restricted to those members who had updated their scores since February 2001.
IRC ---> The new design (http://www.dailydx.com/2007irc.jpg) for the<br />
International Reply Coupon (IRC) has been selected by the Universal Postal<br />
Union. The new IRC is expected to be available on 1 July 2006 and it will be<br />
good through 31 December 2009. The current IRC<br />
(http://www.upu.int/irc/en/2002_version.html) is good through 31 December<br />
2006. [TNX The Daily <strong>DX</strong>]<br />
NOT THE MANAGER ---> The W1 QSL Bureau has been receiving many QSLs for<br />
K1HP/KH2 and K1HP/KH0. The correct route for these operations (and also for<br />
K1HP) is via JE2EHP. The W1 Bureau forwards these cards via the JA Bureau.<br />
[TNX K1HT]<br />
NOT THE MANAGER ---> The W1 QSL Bureau continues to receive QSLs for CU2AA<br />
and CU3AA, but KA1HFL is not the manager for these stations. The W1 Bureau's<br />
current information is that neither CU2AA nor CU3AA has a QSL manager at<br />
present. [TNX K1HT]<br />
VI9NL & VI9NS ---> Kirsti, VK9NL and Jim, VK9NS both applied and were issued<br />
two licences for the callsigns VI9NL and VI9NS to be used for the current<br />
celebrations on Norfolk Island [<strong>425</strong><strong>DX</strong>N 783]. However they were notified by<br />
the National Licensing and Allocations Branch that "the ACMA does not usually<br />
allow more than one Special Event Licence to one organisation [the Heard<br />
Island <strong>DX</strong> Association in this case, ed.] for the same event." Kirsti and Jim<br />
have relinquished the use of VI9NL basically as Kirsti will not be here for<br />
the complete month. HI<strong>DX</strong>A retains the use of VI9NS for the month of June<br />
2006. [TNX VK9NS]<br />
YV5EU ---> This is the new callsign for Ray, DL2GG/YV5. QSL via DL3AMA,<br />

<strong>425</strong> <strong>DX</strong> NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The latest issue (May 2006) is now available at<br />
http://www.<strong>425</strong>dxn.org/monthly/. Articles and pictures should be sent to<br />
Nicola Baldresca, IZ3EBA (iz3eba@ari.it).<br />
MONTENEGRO ---> After the dissolution of the Socialist Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia in 1992, Montenegro went into federation with Serbia, first as<br />
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, then as a looser State Union of Serbia and<br />
Montenegro. On 3 June the Parliament of Montenegro declared the independence<br />
of Montenegro, formally confirming the result of a referendum on independence<br />
held on 21 May. Montenegro has begun the process of seeking international<br />
recognition as well as a seat at international organizations. As far as <strong>DX</strong>CC<br />
is concerned, when Montenegro becomes a UN member *or* is assigned a prefix<br />
block by the ITU, then it will be added to the <strong>DX</strong>CC list. Information on the<br />
history of Montenegro can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montenegro<br />
POSTAL RATES (ITALY) ---> Effective 1 June, the postal rates for a standard<br />
letter (up to 20 grams) from Italy are EUR 0.65 for Europe (plus Algeria,<br />
Cyprus, Egypt, Giordania, Israel, Libya, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria and<br />
Tunisia), EUR 0.85 for other destinations in Africa & Asia and the Americas,<br />
EUR 1.00 for destinations in Oceania. Consequently, please note that 1 USD no<br />
longer covers the postage for direct QSLs outside Europe.<br />
* Silvano, I2YSB (see the list of the stations he is the QSL manager for<br />
on<br />
http://www.i2ysb.com/) says he will honour direct requests that include<br />
1<br />
IRC + 1 USD, or 2 IRCs or 2 USD (otherwise they will be processed<br />
through<br />
the bureau).<br />
* Andrea, IK1PMR (http://www.ik1pmr.com/) says he will provide on his web<br />
site a secure PayPal-based system to allow interested <strong>DX</strong>ers to send<br />
needed<br />
extra-funds for postage. At all events, "a reasonably quick reply via<br />
the<br />
ARI QSL Bureau is guaranteed" to those who have already sent their<br />
direct<br />
cards without sufficient return postage.<br />
QSL 3Y0X ---> On 6 June Bob Schenck, N2OO announced that 27,477 QSOs (the 32%<br />
of all QSOs made by 3Y0X) have bee confirmed. He stimates that they have now<br />
answered approximately 65% of all requests received (this includes about 95%<br />
of all 3Y0X contributor's cards). Another QSL session will be scheduled for<br />
11 June and another mailing should be ready for the 12th. Please give a look<br />
to the QSL Update announcement & QSLling procedures at<br />
http://www.peterone.com/qsl.htm, and refrain from e-mailing N2OO at this<br />
time, as it will only slow the process down.<br />
THAILAND ---> The long-awaited permission to operate on the WARC bands (30,<br />
17 and 12 metres) is just around the corner, according to John (Narissara),<br />
HS1CHB, who said that the NTC (the Thai National Telecommunications<br />
Commission) has agreed to issue temporary permission for those radio amateurs<br />
in Thailand who notify them of their desire to do so. This privilege includes<br />
permission to operate on 80 and 160 metres, and the temporary permission will<br />
be valid until the end of the year. The yet-to-be-formed National<br />
Broadcasting Commission would need to be in place before any permanent<br />
spectrum changes could be made. [Source: http://www.qsl.net/rast]<br />
WRTC 2006 ---> The results of the WRTC 2006 Contest (which will take place as<br />
a part of the IARU contest on 8-9 July) must be ready within 35 hours after<br />
the event. The organizers therefore need as many IARU logs as possible and as<br />
soon as possible to verify the logs of the WRTC 2006 competitors. All IARU<br />
Logs received direct to logs@wrtc2006.com or via iaruhf@iaru.org until they<br />
cut-off the reception of the IARU logs at the WRTC 2006 HQ some time late<br />
Sunday/early Monday (UTC) will participate in a lottery. All IARU Logs<br />
received within 6 hours after the contest (i.e. before 18 UTC on 9 July) will<br />
also be entitled to receive a few prizes. Further information can be found at<br />
http://www.wrtc2006.com/release52.html [TNX PY5EG]<br />

>>> MONTENEGRO: DO YOU FEEL LIKE OPERATING FROM A NEW ONE?
Special Sovereignty" as having a local "Administrative Center," or<br />
(b)<br />
the United Nations list of "Non-Self-Governing Territories."<br />
Rule 1c) is intended to recognize entities that are sufficiently separate<br />
from their parent for <strong>DX</strong>CC purposes but do not qualify under Rule 1a) or 1b).<br />
The new rule will cause a change to Point 1 status for certain entities. This<br />
in turn will reduce the mileage for a first separation for these entities<br />
from 800 km to 350 km.<br />
The lists referenced in the text of the rule can be viewed at the following<br />
Web sites:<br />
* the DOS list of Dependencies and Areas of Special Sovereignty at<br />
http://www.state.gov/s/inr/rls/10543.htm, and<br />
* the U.N. list of Non-Self-Governing Territories at<br />
http://www.un.org/depts/dpi/decolonization/trust3.htm.<br />
QSOs with any new entity resulting from this rule change will count for<br />
credit for the new entity only if the QSOs are made on or after the Start<br />
Date for the entity. In no case will QSOs made prior to the date of this<br />
notice be considered for credit for any new entity created under this rule.<br />
Applications for <strong>DX</strong>CC award credits resulting from this change will be<br />
accepted on or after October 1, 2006.<br />
For further information please contact Wayne Mills, N7NG (n7ng@arrl.org).<br />

AMATEUR RADIO LICENSING IN SPAIN ---> The Spanish Government has approved new<br />
amateur radio regulations which came into force 10th of June 2006. The most<br />
important changes are:<br />
* The extinction of the three Spanish licences (General-EA, Restricted-EB<br />
and<br />
Novice-EC). All Spanish licensed have the same privileges from now on,<br />
so<br />
you will hear in all bands not only EA but also EB and EC stations.<br />

from<br />
CEPT countries or others foreign amateurs with temporary licence, but<br />
there<br />
are geographical restrictions in the centre of Spain due to TV emissions.<br />

>>> IOTA NEWS: UNACTIVATED GROUPS NUMBERED
years. The last such occasion was scheduled for 2005 but in the event the<br />
Committee decided against a review then. It needed to complete work<br />
implementing decisions taken following the major overhaul of the island list<br />
in year 2000. With the next review not now scheduled until 2010 the IOTA<br />
Committee has decided not to wait until then to correct an anomaly. Sebatik<br />
Island in Borneo is a 'split sovereignty island', one half owned by Indonesia<br />
(Kalimantan) and the other by East Malaysia (Sabah). Under paragraph E.5.7 of<br />
the Programme Rules such islands each count for a separate IOTA group. The<br />
Committee is rectifying this omission now and adding Sebatik Island as a new<br />
group in the Oceania list (OC-295P). [TNX G3KMA]<br />

IOTA CONTEST LOGGER ---> The 14th IOTA Contest takes place on 29-30 July. SDI<br />
by Paul O'Kane, EI5DI is the only contest logger dedicated to this event, it<br />
offers many unique features and it is recommended for single-operator<br />
entrants. SDI runs on any Windows PC, and is free from www.ei5di.com (should<br />
you have any problems, just ask sd-user@contesting.com).<br />
PIRATES ---> Emanuela, IZ2ELV reports he is receiving cards for ST/IZ2ELV (a<br />
pirate) and TT1ENI (ditto). Save your time and money; she is the QSL manager<br />
only for her own operations as 8Q7LY (2002).<br />
WRTC 2006 MONITORING SYSTEM ---> You can watch the 2006 Amateur Radio<br />
Olympics live at your computer - just click www.hagasoft.com! The Contest<br />
Club Finland (CCF) team are in Brazil to run the system. Each of the 47<br />
competing teams will release their scores at hourly intervals and the ranking<br />
will appear on your computer screen along with historical data. The referees<br />
at each station use a Nokia sponsored 6301i cell phone and its text messaging<br />
(SMS) function to get the scores to a dedicated server. From the server the<br />
scores then get processed and transferred to another SQL Server located in<br />
California, USA.<br />
Adding to the Scoreboard, another technology house (Elisa Communications of<br />
Finland) with their team at OH2AQ has moved in to provide you with continued<br />
access to all WRTC-related <strong>DX</strong> Summit spots on a specific Web site:<br />
http://oh2aq.kolumbus.com/dxs/wrtc.html<br />
Several prizes are available to IARU HF World Championship participants who<br />
send a Cabrillo log to logs@wrtc2006.com or iaruhf@iaru.org within 6 hours<br />
after the contest. For the details see WRTC Press Release 054/06 at<br />
http://www.wrtc2006.com/release54.html<br />
YU6AO ---> The Daily <strong>DX</strong> reports that "it is now been confirmed that the<br />
station producing highest number of Montenegrin QSOs with the callsign YU6AO<br />
is actually a VHF only license and has been operated by several Serbian hams.<br />
Upgrading of the license to HF privileges is pending and suggests that QSOs<br />
made up to that point will be very questionable for <strong>DX</strong>CC purposes".<br />

"The presentation in any public forum of logs or other representations of<br />
station operation showing details of station activity or other information<br />
from which all essential QSO elements (time, date, band, mode and callsign)<br />
for individual contacts can be derived creates a question as to the integrity<br />
of the claimed QSOs with that station during the period encompassed by the<br />
log. Presentation of such information in any public forum by the station<br />
operator, operators or associated parties is not allowed and may be<br />
considered sufficient reason to deny ARRL award credit for contacts with any<br />
station for which such presentations have been made. Persistent violation of<br />
this provision may result in disqualification from the <strong>DX</strong>CC program".<br />

<strong>DX</strong>pedition like ours", Juergen, DL8LE says. However, "its excellent<br />
properties" should allow "many more digital mode QSOs than possible in old<br />
standard RTTY". Please visit the Digital Modes page at<br />

heading back out to sea". A similar activity took place back in 2002 (12<br />
September). Last week's operation was cut short by the weather and Bert was<br />
able to log 133 QSOs. QSL via ZL2BSJ.<br />

NOT THE MANAGER ---> Wayne, W4MPY is not the QSL manager for any station. He<br />
gets a number of cards each bureau mailing for stations he has simply<br />
*printed* QSL cards for (apparently the confusion comes from the rpinetr's<br />
credit, "QSLman - W4MPY"). "In the past, I have forwarded them at my expense<br />
to the customers", he says, "but will no longer be doing that". [TNX W4MPY]<br />
PSK63 QSO PARTY ---> The EPC PSK63 QSO Party, sponsored by the European PSK<br />

QSL YX0A & YX0LIX ---> Steve, KU9C reports he has printed most of the labels,<br />
but is still waiting for the cards to arrive from the printer. He has still<br />
to do a number of log searches for the gaps in the logs, and as soon as the<br />
<strong>DX</strong> team provides them he will start that process. Please be patient, as "the<br />
situation is a bit out of my control", he says.<br />
YX5IOTA ---> Lighthouse chasers please note that the 26 September-1 October<br />

D20VB ---> According to first hand information collected by Cezar (VE3LYC),<br />
Vlad (UA4WHX) "was never on AF-108 and whoever spotted him like that made a<br />
rather bad joke". Vlad added that "he has no plans at this time to activate<br />
any of the D2 IOTAs", because travelling throught the country is extremely
difficult, the islands are much less safer than the mainland and the terrain<br />
is very rough. [TNX www.islandchaser.com]<br />
<strong>DX</strong>CC NEWS ---> The following operations have been approved for <strong>DX</strong>CC credit:<br />
9Q1D, 9Q1TB and 9Q1EK (Democratic Republic of the Congo), current operation<br />
beginning 22 September 2006. [TNX NC1L]<br />
QSL 9N1AA ---> Satish is back on the air after being inactive for the past<br />
three years or so. His QSL manager (Carl Smith, N4AA) says that apparently<br />
Satish now has access to his old logs (previously reported as lost), even<br />
though he cannot provide a copy of them. Carl will be sending him a list of<br />
the "several hundred unanswered requests on hand at N4AA", and hopefully he<br />
will be able to confirm those old contacts. "I will answer these cards as<br />
soon as possible and to the best of my ability", Carl says. [TNX QRZ-<strong>DX</strong>]<br />
QSL VK0JLX ---> Paul, VK2JLX/VK0JLX says he has decided not to select a QSL<br />
manger, he himself will reply to the many QSL cards that await his for his<br />
return to Australia around mid 2007. He is still working at Davis Station,<br />
Antarctica and his current operating times on the amateur radio bands are 6-7<br />
UTC and 10-16 UTC (weekdays) and 5 UTC onwards (weekends).<br />
QSL YU6AO ---> The following was published on the <strong>DX</strong>CC Dialog Weblog<br />
(http://www.arrl.org/blog/<strong>DX</strong>CC%20Dialog) on 11 October: "Reference our recent<br />
comments about YU6AO credits [<strong>425</strong><strong>DX</strong>N 805, ed.], we have decided to continue<br />
crediting any YU6AO QSOs made on or after July 4, 2006. While we are still<br />
concerned that for some reason there are apparent date errors on certain<br />
YU6AO QSL cards, we will continue to count these credits pending further<br />
investigation. If you have received a YU6AO QSL card showing a date of July 4<br />
or later which actually represents a QSO made prior to July 4, 2006, please<br />
let us know in an email to dxcc@arrl.org". [Bill Moore, NC1L]<br />

HB0 JUBILEE CERTIFICATE ---> Amateurfunk Verein Liechtenstein (AFVL, the IARU<br />
society for HB0) sponsors a Jubilee Certificate for contacts made with their<br />
club station (HB0FL) and AFVL members from 1 January 2006 through 31 December<br />
2007. The certificate commemorates the 200th anniversary of the sovereignty<br />
of the Principality of Liechtenstein, as well as the 20th anniversary of<br />
AFVL. The certificate is available to either licenced amateurs and SWLs, full<br />
information can be found at http://www.afvl.li/ [TNX HB0TW]<br />
QSL VIA CT1GFK ---> Toze reports that all of the direct requests for CU8F and<br />
CU8T have been processed and mailed out. Toze is the QSL manager also for<br />
CQ1A, CQ1C, CQ4I, CT1A, CT7A, CS0RCL (EU-167 and EU-145), CU4M and CU4T.<br />
VP6UU ---> Larry, N0UU [<strong>425</strong><strong>DX</strong>N 805] operated from Pitcairn (OC-044) on 22<br />
October (341 QSOs), Henderson Island (OC-056) on the 23rd (74 QSOs) and Ducie<br />
Island (OC-182) on the 24th (89 QSOs). QSL via home call. [TNX The Daily <strong>DX</strong>]<br />
ZL8R ---> The Microlite Penguins Dxpedition to Raoul Island in the Kermadecs<br />
went QRT at 22 UTC on 17 October after 40,000+ QSOs (26053 CW, 12999 SSB and<br />
1378 RTTY, plus five 6m EME contacts). The operators were EI6FR, HB9ASZ,<br />
K9ZO, N0TT, N6MZ, VK6<strong>DX</strong>I, W7EW and 9V1YC and the total on-air operating time<br />
was just over 7 days. Transceivers consisted of six, brand new Icom IC-7000s<br />
kindly sponsored by Icom America and antennas were all simple wire dipoles<br />
strung up in the surrounding pine trees. The band/mode breakdowns are as<br />
follows:<br />

The continental percentages are North America 39%, Asia 30%, Europe 26%,<br />
Oceania 3%, South America 1%, Africa 1%. Almost all of the expenses for this<br />
trip were paid by the team members themselves. But given the extraordinary<br />
expense it takes to charter a ship to a remote island in the Pacific for two<br />
weeks, they say, "we hope that each and every <strong>DX</strong>er will help contribute to<br />
this endeavor, either by donations with your QSL cards to our manager VE3XN,<br />
or by joining the Northern California <strong>DX</strong> Foundation".<br />

VE - Igor, VA3Y<strong>DX</strong> reports he will operate as VE2I<strong>DX</strong> from Bizard<br />
Island<br />
(not IOTA, QC-027 for the Canadian Islands Award) on 29-30<br />
December.<br />
His main goal is to participate in the Canada Winter Contest.<br />
Look<br />
for him on +/- 14260, 3795 and 7260 kHz. QSL direct to VA3Y<strong>DX</strong>.<br />

VU7 - The first batch of ARSI operators (including VU2DMP, VU2GGM,<br />

VU2MTT, VU2NKS, VU2NXM, VU2PAI, VU2PJP, VU2RCR, VU2RDQ,<br />
VU2SWS,<br />
VU2VKU, VU3ENB, VU3KKZ and VU3SGS) has been active from<br />
Kavaratti<br />
Island, Lakshadweeps (AS-011) since around 18.30 UTC on 30<br />
November<br />
(i.e. on 1 December at noon local time). They have been required<br />
to<br />
sign VU7LD/homecall, but this is not an Andaman-like<br />
activity<br />
(different operations under different callsigns, with different<br />
QSL<br />
routes and different QSL cards): so there is no need to<br />
work<br />
multiple VU7LD/hc's on the same band and mode, as they would<br />
be<br />
duplicate QSOs. Suggested frequencies are as follows:<br />

Elvira, 5V7SE that include "old style" IRCs expiring on 31 December. Please<br />
note that if Gabriele can get the logs before the end of the year, these

a four-month holiday with his wife in Florida. He should return to VQ9 in<br />
April 2007 for another four-month tour. "I've been active from VQ9 for eight<br />
months out of the past year", he says, "and so far logged 26,000 QSOs. CW<br />
accounts for 85%, with SSB at 13%, and 2% were using digital modes. About 40%<br />
have been on 20m, 20% were on 15m, and another 20% were split between 30 and<br />
40m. Considering what propagation conditions have been like, I'm quite<br />
pleased with the results". All direct mail QSLs received at his Florida QTH<br />
as of 10 November have been answered. The requests received after that date<br />
will be answered when Jim gets home. Bureau cards received as of 10 November<br />
have also been processed and will be mailed to the Outgoing Bureau. All QSL<br />
requests go via ND9M.<br />

weekends of activity. The team is aware that a Polish expedition to Agalega<br />
has been announced for April 2007, but considers that demand for this rare<br />
one is such that a large-scale operation (12 stations) is fully justified.<br />

VU7RG ---> While another five VU7 permits and three reciprocal licences have<br />
been granted to foreign participants in the January 2007 activity, the team<br />
is finishing now the last logistics for a full-fledged operation of 15 manned<br />
stations. The latest field tests confirmed that Internet access on the<br />
islands will allow the team to upload online logs on daily base. VU7RG will<br />
make use of three pilot stations (Klaus/DL1XX, Don/N1DG and a third one TBA).<br />
For the time being, you can give the team the opportunity to benefit from<br />

CQ <strong>DX</strong> MARATHON ---> The new CQ <strong>DX</strong> Marathon [<strong>425</strong><strong>DX</strong>N 777] is a year-long <strong>DX</strong><br />
hunt, with participants competing to see who can work the greatest number of<br />
countries ("entities") and CQ zones over the course of a full year, then<br />
starting again at zero at the beginning of the next year. This year's<br />
Marathon began at 00.00 UTC on 1 January 1 and will end at 23.59 UTC on 31<br />
December: "it is now time to start gathering your country and zone contacts<br />
made in 2006", John, K9EL says, "and enter them onto the official <strong>DX</strong> Marathon<br />
score sheet available at http://www.dxmarathon.com". All logs must be<br />
received no later than 28 February 2007. The 2007 Marathon will start at<br />
00.00 UTC on 1 January. [TNX K9EL]<br />
DIRECT CARDS FROM INDONESIA ---> Donny Sirait, YB6LD (ex YB1BOD) has compiled<br />
an informative document on how to obtain a direct QSL card from Indonesia. It<br />
includes the current postage rates to several destinations around the world<br />
and useful tips on IRCs, whose redeemable value depends on the country they<br />
originate from, not on their "destination": for instance, a coupon issued in<br />
the US will give a 4,500 Indonesian Rupiahs postage stamp (which covers a<br />
letter to Japan, but not to the US). "Normally", Donny says, "a 20gr (single<br />
card request) need 2 valid IRC's from the originating country for an airmail<br />
reply". The document (.pdf format) is vailable from Donny, please contact him<br />
at yb6ld@yahoo.com if interested.<br />
HNY 2007 PARTY --->The "Happy New Year 2007 Party", sponsored by Polish MK<br />
QTC Magazine (http://qtc.radio.org.pl), will take place from 18 UTC on 31<br />
December to 18 UTC on 1 January. For details on the event and the relevant<br />
award, please e-mail Sylwester Jarkiewicz, SP2FAP at qtc@post.pl [TNX SP2FAP]<br />
JIIA ---> The JIIA Activity Year will run from 1 January through 31 December<br />
2007 to celebrate the Japanese IOTA Islands Award (JIIA) programme's 5th<br />
anniversary. A special award will be issued for contacts made with at least<br />
10 stations operating from different islands. Please contact Yuki, JI6KVR<br />
(ji6kvr@dance.ocn.ne.jp) for further information.<br />
OH CONTEST/<strong>DX</strong> MEETING ---> The 12th annual Contest & <strong>DX</strong> Meeting, organized<br />
by the Contest Club Finland and thr OH <strong>DX</strong> Foundation, will be held aboard the<br />
Viking Line M/S Gabriella on 19-21 January 2007. The ship will travel from<br />
Finland to the Aland Islands to Sweden and back. Further information, prices<br />
and on-line registration form are available at<br />
http://www.contestclubfinland.com/ (bookings should be made no later than 18<br />
December). [TNX OH1UA]<br />
PIRATE ---> The NZART (New Zealand Association of Radio Transmitters)<br />
Monitoring Service reports that the station signing ZK3<strong>DX</strong> and claiming to be<br />
operating from Nukunonu Atoll (Tokelau) is a pirate. He has been operating<br />
(usually around 7000-7010 kHz between 5 and 7 NZDT) since 16 September and<br />
was last heard on 3 December. The Tokelau Administration has not issued this<br />
callsign, nor have they heard of any amateur operating from these islands.<br />
[TNX ZL2RR and AD1C]<br />
QSL 4O3T ---> Bill Moore, NC1L reports that the first batch of cards received<br />
by US operators contained only the month and year and not the specific day of<br />
the QSO. 4O3T cards that show July 2006 or later, with or without the actual<br />
day being shown on the card, will be credited for "Montenegro". QSLs for QSOs<br />
in May 2006 or earlier will count for "Serbia and Montenegro". Cards for QSOs<br />
in June 2006 will not be accepted for any credit (Montenegro was added to the<br />
<strong>DX</strong>CC list on 28 June 2006). Those who received a 4O3T QSL card with no date<br />
number and wish to obtain a corrected QSL can send a self addressed envelope<br />
directly to John Kennon, N7CQQ who is sending out cards for all of the<br />
Americas.<br />
QSL OC-270 ---> Donny, YB6LD (ex YB1BOD) says that all of the direct requests
eceived so far for the March 2006 operation from Simeulue Island (YC6LAY/p,<br />
YB6LYS/p, YC6JKV/p, YB6PLG/p and YB1BOD/6) have been processed and mailed.<br />
Direct requests from Japan without sufficient return postage have been<br />
honoured through the JARL bureau. "For other stations outside JA that did not<br />
send sufficient funds, I have no other choice than to send it directly since<br />
sending it to the bureau will cost me the same amount (due to small<br />
numbers)", Donny says.<br />
QSL ST2A ---> Boris, T93Y reports that all direct requests received as of 9<br />
December have processed and mailed. You can give a look to the card designs<br />
in the "QSL Info" and check the status of your request in the "LOG Search"<br />
sections of the ST2A website (http://www.t93y.com/st2a). Boris reminds the <strong>DX</strong><br />
community that 1 USD does not cover the postage from Bosnia and Herzegovina<br />
to anywhere in the world, while 1 IRC does. [TNX T93Y]<br />
QSL VIA DL5EBE ---> Dominik reports he is now living in Russia. Those who<br />
need a direct card for any of the stations he is the QSL manager for should<br />
mail their request to the following address: Wintershall Holding AG, Abt. EV,<br />
Mr. Dominik Weiel, Friedrich-Ebert-Str. 160, D-34119 Kassel, Germany. Cards<br />
sent via the DARC QSL bureau will be forwarded to Dominik.<br />
QSL VIA RZ3DJ ---> Those who still need a QSL card for Vlady's (RU3HD)<br />
activities from Antarctica can send their request to RZ3DJ (Dmitry Tsyplakov,<br />
P.O. Box 5/3, Pushkino - 5, 141205, Russia). Vlady nade about 36,000 QSOs<br />
(153 on 160m and 1282 on 80m) as R1ANN and RU3HD/ANT from Novolazarevskaja<br />
(IOTA NA-01, UA-08 for the Antarctica Award), and some 7,000 QSOs as R1ANN/mm<br />
and RU3HD/mm from the "Academic Fedorov". [TNX RZ3DJ]<br />
QSL YX0A & YX0LIX ---> "The cards have arrived, and I'm in the process of<br />
preparing the first mailings", Steve (KU9C) says. "The process will be a bit<br />
slower than I'd like, due to the holidays and a few business and family<br />
commitments. Please do not resubmit; I'll use the <strong>DX</strong> bulletins to advise when<br />
I've finished mailing what I've got and status updates along the way. I do<br />
apologize for the delay in getting the cards out".<br />
VU7LD ---> The 9th press release (issued on 9 December) states that the<br />
second batch of six operators (VU2GMN Gopal, VU2LX Lakshman, VU3SPQ Sunny,<br />
VU3RSB Sara, VU3ELR Sasi and VU2SJD Sanjay) were sailing to Kavaratti to join<br />
the other operators who have been there since 30 November. "We are aware of<br />
issues with the published online logs where the mode and band have in some<br />
cases been wrong, also a couple of logs from a few sessions were not<br />
published on the web", Gopal (VU2GMN) says, "We are working to rectify that<br />
in the next log update expected latest around the 20th of December.<br />
[Actually, the log search at http://www.arsi.info/vu7/onlinelog.shtml now<br />
covers the period 1-12 December, and the next update is expected for 16<br />
December, Ed.]. A number of constructive suggestions have been received from<br />
the international <strong>DX</strong> community and we have taken note of the suggestions and<br />
information has already been passed on to the operators who are working to<br />
implement as many of them as is feasible". A few pictures of VU7LD can be<br />
found at http://www.vu7ld.info/.<br />
+ SILENT KEY + We were saddened by the news of the sudden passing of<br />
Agustinus "Agus" Ginting, YC6JKV, who was killed in a car accident on 8<br />

not being at its best, several solar flares and multiple power outages, the<br />
team has logged almost 50,000 QSOs so far. "The transfer of logs to the<br />
mainland for updating the webpage has been a problem but VU2ZAP and VU2SJD<br />
have been working very hard to sort out the many errors and partials that<br />
have been brought to our notice and updating the online logs. VU2ZAP has also<br />
been diligently answering all mail regarding errors and we expect that most<br />
of the issues will be sorted out completely". On-line logs current cover the<br />
period 1-21 December, the next update is expected on 24 December.<br />

entire period of the <strong>DX</strong>pedition: if you do not find yourself in the log and<br />
believe you have a valid QSO, please send a message to vu7ld@arsi.info with<br />
your detailed log entry (including the VU7LD/operator you worked) for the<br />

activity for the Lakshadweeps. "As announced earlier we have made clear<br />
agreements with all involved VU7 stations how we are going to share the<br />
frequency band to avoid chaos because of overlapping frequencies", the team<br />
says. Please note that:<br />
- all sites will operate exclusively within their frequency slots and<br />
- always at the beginning of their slot;
- split window never will exceed upper slot boundary;<br />
- stations calling VU7RG outside the slot windows will not get logged - for<br />
example, Site 1 operates on 1821 kc and the upper split window boundary is<br />
1832 kc: call on 1830 kc and will get your chance, call on 1833 kc and you<br />
will not be considered at all.<br />
