ARRL 10 METER CONTEST ---> The annual ARRL 10 Meter Contest will be held on
10-11 December. Complete details can be found at www.arrl.org/10-meter
DXCC NEWS ---> ARRL Awards Branch Manager Bill Moore, NC1L reports that
5X1VJ (Uganda, 2011 operation) has been approved for DXCC credit.
MALPELO 2012 ---> This is the latest information released by the HK0NA
DXpediton organizers on 28 November.
"Recently three US members (K4UEE, N4GRN and W6IZT) of the Malpelo 2012
DXpedition flew to Cartagena, Colombia and met with six of their Colombian
counterparts. The purpose of the two day meeting was to make some critical
decisions about the upcoming DXpedition to Malpelo Island. Also, checklists
and inventories were finalized and all team members' responsibilities were
assigned.
Since it is highly unlikely that the various Colombian authorities will
permit another DXpedition to Malpelo anytime soon; a decision was made to
extend the DXpedition to 16-17 days from the previous 12-14 day plan. The
approximate dates of operations will be January 21, 2012 through February
5/6, 2012.
Four team members will travel with all equipment, radios, antennas and
infrastructure to Malpelo in early January. They will be transported by
the Colombian Navy. They will arrive about two weeks prior to the rest of
the team and will set up camp, the two operating sites, radios and
antennas. They will spend about 30 days on the island. This will allow the
rest of the team to begin radio operations immediately upon arrival by
chartered vessel.
As mentioned there will be two operating sites, each with a complete
complement of antennas and radios with amplifiers. The first operating
site will be co-located with the Colombian marine's camp on the east side
of the island. It is clear to East Coast USA, EU and Africa. In order to
have a clear shot at JA/Asia, the Pacific region and W6/W7; the second
operating site will be located near the top of the highest mountain peak on
the island. However, to lessen the physical risks to the team members, the
operating site will be located on platforms situated below the actual peak.
Still, it will be a 45 minute uphill climb to reach the platforms. The
antennas for that site will be on the top of the mountain peak. At times,
there will be as many as nine stations QRV with the capability of dual mode
operations on all bands.
Safety of the team is paramount. We will be installing a winch system to
hoist team members and all of our equipment from our chartered ship's
Zodiac onto the island. From there, manpower will carry the equipment the
300 meters straight uphill to the marine camp. The trail to the elevated
operating site is extremely dangerous. We will utilize harnesses and
safety ropes to minimize the risks. This is going to be a difficult and
expensive DXpedition. Every effort will be made to maximize QSOs while
protecting the safety of the team members. It is a delicate balance.
Your financial support is necessary and gratefully accepted. Contributions
can be made via our website at: www.hk0na.com/sponsors
QSL A71CV ---> Buzz, NI5DX, has assumed the duties of QSL manager for
Abdulla A71CV, whose previous manager (A71AN) is now a SK. Abdulla will
soon send Buzz his logs and the two will work on the design of a new QSL
card. No cards should be expected from NI5DX until the new QSLs are
received from the printer (the process could take as long as 6-8 weeks).
[TNX The Golist]
QSL ET3AA ---> The QSL route for contacts made with ET3AA and ET3SID on
8-13 December [425DXN 1071] is via N2OO. Either direct and bureau cards can
be requested online by going to www.qsl.net/n2oo/history/qsl-n2oo.htm
T2T ---> The T2T DXpedition to Tuvalu (www.t2t.pacific-dxers.com/T2T.html)
will go QRT on 3 December, a few days earlier than planned. "We have been
doing everything possible to avert this", VK4FW says, "but realistically
have no choice due to persistent power problems". The T2T online log totals
(on 30 November there were 39347 QSOs) also include contacts made by T2V
during the CQ WW DX CW Contest. Speaking of which, during the contest "we
inadvertently sent 32 as our zone. So if you put that in your log, then you
copied our exchange Correctly. We have since realised that it should have
been 31... and have advised the contest committee. How this error will be
managed will be up to them. We sincerely apologise for this mistake!"
TOP LISTS ---> The latest Topband, Topmode and Toplist listings are now
available at www.425dxn.org/awards/toplist/index.html. QSOs confirmed
through LoTW or included in on-line logs are eligible for listing. Send
your scores, as well as any request for further information, to Erminio
Pandocchi I2EOW (i2eow[@]fastwebnet.it).
