2011 DX SOUND BITES! Tom, K8CX, has done it again. He has provided DXers
with 130 memorable DX sound clips from 2011. Visit Tom's famous "HAM
GALLERY" Web at: http://hamgallery.com/dx2011
While there also check out some of his other features on his Web page,
such as: 14 years of "Rare DX Sound Clips" of the past (as well as some
clips from the 1960's and 1970's), QSL Card Museum, Dayton Photo Galleries
and Tribute to Silent Key Ham Operators. Tom states, "If anyone has any
old HF recordings, I would be interested in hearing from them."
60 METER (NEW) WEB SITE. Joe, W8GEX, (from 60m News) informs: "I just
want to let you know that our old Web site shut down on Dec. 31st. We
want to thank Tom, K4MM, for his help on the former site for so many
years. It was a challenge and he did a fine job. With the help of K3ZXL,
K5YY and myself, we have a new 60m Web site at: http://60metersonline.net
Here you will find a collection of information about current events
and upcoming DXpeditions, plus more. The new site is hosted by Dan Schaaf,
K3ZXL of Punta Gorda, Florida. Dan has been on 60 meters since 2003 when
we were given the new band. An avid DXer, you can find Dan in the pileup
on any band, and any mode. Dan will bring his DXing experience and
enthusiasm to the new Web site. Dan already has the new site activated,
and it is still a work in progress. While he updates info from the former
site, he invites news from all of you. This is our forum to keep everyone
interested in 60m up-to-date on the activities, and the when and where to
look for DX. So if you have anything to report, please forward it to Dan,
K3ZXL at: dan-schaaf@att.net -- We certainly thank Dan for accepting
the challenge of keeping all of us happy DXers!"

DXCC SEES AN INCREASE IN APPLICATIONS. In this week's "ARRL Letter", they
report that more amateurs are working DX, which means the ARRL's Membership
and Volunteer Programs Department, especially the DXCC Desk and the ARRL
Incoming and Outgoing QSL Bureaus, are working very hard in processing
applications (for initial awards and endorsements) and sending out cards
via the different QSL Bureaus. In 2010, the DXCC Desk processed 7134
applications for initial awards and endorsements; these 2010 applications
included 853,462 QSOs. In 2011, the DXCC Desk processed 11,175 applica-
tions, containing 1,250,864 QSOs. "Comparing 2010 to 2011, this represents
a 47 percent increase in the number of QSOs and a 57 percent increase in
the number of applications," MVP Administrative Manager Sharon Taratula
explained. To learn more about this increase, go to:

HK0NA DXPEDITION (Latest News Dated January 6th). From the HK0NA Web
page: " 'The fantastic four' are working very hard and doing a great job
on the Island! We are in daily contact with them. They are tired but in
high spirits. Most of the camp infrastructure and antennas for Op.B (bajo)
is now complete. Two antennas require further testing.
Today, they made the climb to the top of the mountain (300m), this will
be the location for Op. A (alto). The purpose was to survey the antenna
and operating locations. It is a fairly strenuous climb, and it took about
40 minutes to get to the top. Afterward, a decision was made to place the
operating position and sleep tent at the very top of the mountain and
schedule operators for 2 day shifts to minimize transit risks. Set up of
the camp infrastructure and antennas at OP A will begin in a couple of
days. We plan another press release prior to our departure to Bogota on
Jan. 18th." For more details and updates, visit: http://hk0na.com

PV0F BROKEN CALLSIGN IN NOVEMBER 2011. Dennis Motschenbacher, K7BV,
reports: "I have received a number of QSLs for a PV0F operation during
November, 2011. I am certain there was no operation using that call at
that time; however I note that P40F was extremely active by R5GA for
the CQ WW contest. I will gather November 2011 PV0F cards sent to me
for a awhile and then send them off to R5GA assuming the senders
miscopied his P40F callsign."
