425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The January 2012 issue is now available for
download at www.425dxn.org/monthly/index.html. [TNX IZ3EBA]
4W0VB ---> Vlad, UA4WHX is now QRT from Timor Leste. He was QRV as 4W0VB
from the main island of Timor (OC-148) between 11 January and 8 February,
with a brief activity as 4W0VB/p from Atauro Island (OC-232). All of the
QSOs have been uploaded to LoTW. QSLling instructions for paper cards can
be found at www.qrz.com/db/4W0VB
HK0NA ---> Malpelo 2012 went QRT around 17 UTC on 5 February, after
breaking the "tent and generator" DXpedition record set by VP6DX back in
2008 (183,686 QSOs). The preliminary QSO total for HK0NA is 192,089, but
"we expect this number to rise a little as we sort things out". The OQRS at
at www.hk0na.com has been turned on since 6 February; OQRS direct requests
will be processed first, but the cards "won't be ready for some months".
You can request your QSLs one of four ways: OQRS Direct, OQRS Bureau, via
N2OO direct (Bob Schenck, P.O. Box 345, Tuckerton NJ 08087-0345, USA) or
bureau. The HK0NA log is expected to be uploaded to LoTW "about 6 months
after the conclusion of the DXpedition".
IOTA BASH ---> The eighth annual IOTA Bash will be held on 23-24 March in
Boerne, Texas, about 20 miles northwest of San Antonio. The agenda will
include presentations on some of the most recent IOTA expeditions and a
nice social programme. Details and registration form are available on the
IREF website (www.islandradio.org). [TNX AB5EB]
QSL 7Q7HB ---> "I have been the QSL manager for quite a few 7Q7 stations in
the past 21 years", Allan G0IAS says. "With the death of Harry (7Q7HB)
there is no one else active now in 7Q that I am the manager for. From 12
December 2012, the anniversary of the death of Harry, I will no longer send
out any QSL cards, for any of the 7Q7 stations I manage. I think that if an
operator does not send for a card, he does not need it". QSL direct only to
Allan Hickman, The Conifers, High Street, Elkesley, Retford, DN22 8AJ,
United Kingdom. The Malawi stations managed by G0IAS are 7Q7AH, 7Q7BW,
7Q7BX, 7Q7FM, 7Q7HB, 7Q7JL, 7Q7LA, 7Q7MH, 7Q7RL and 7Q7RM.
VE3LYC ---> The RAC Board of Directors has announced the selection of Dr.
Cezar Trifu, VE3LYC as the Canadian Radio Amateur of the Year for 2011.
"Dr. Trifu exemplifies the Canadian Amateur with numerous IOTA DXpeditions
since 2008 covering Canadian Islands and recently overseas islands. He has
raised the profile of Canadian Amateur operations world-wide with thousands
of QSOs with DXCCs covering over six continents".
+ SILENT KEYS + NASA astronaut Janice Voss, KC5BTK passed away on 7
February at 55 years of age. She flew in space five times between 1993 and
2000, and participated in making amateur radio contacts via the Space
Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment (SAREX), the precursor to the ARISS
programme.
Richard "Dick" Kirby, W0LCT (HB9BOA) passed away on 26 January. He was 89.
In 1974, he was elected Director of the ITU's International Radio
Consultative Committee (since 1992 ITU-R), and served as Director until his
retirement in 1995. While at the ITU, he also served as President of the
International Amateur Radio Club, 4U1ITU.
