NEW DXCC-ENTITIES TO COME -
PJ2, PJ4, PJ5, PJ7 and PJ????
>From the Balkan DX reflector....
New DXCC-Entities to come: As found on the homepage of EUDXF, President
of EUDXF Hans, PB2T, visited ARRL HQ in Newington July 24th. There was
discussion about the DXCC status of Netherland's Antilles after December
15th, 2008. It looks like four new entities for Curacao, Sint Maarten,
Saba, Sint Eustatius and Bonaire for future DXCC. (DJ5AV: I remember
there should be no further Deleted Entities added to the existing
ARRL-DXCC list - compare DXCC Rules, Removal Criteria.) Political
Background: The association "Netherland's Antilles" will finish with
"Kingdom's Day", December 15th, 2008. Until late 2008 status of a new
system will be set up. Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius voted for closer
connection with the Netherlands, while Curacao and Sint Maarten want an
autonomous status like Aruba. [YT3W via ZL2AL]

40 METER DX NET -
John, VK6JB, is the moderator of a 40m DX Net that presently runs on
Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at 1200-1330z. The frequency is 7077.5
kHz, but if this is unusable for some reason, they will move the net to
7092 kHz +/- QRM. John states that this net may be quite early in the
morning for some stations and is interested in starting another net
possibly between 7.125-7.200 MHz if a clear frequency could be found for
the duration of the net. He adds, "As the seasons change, so do the
broadcast stations, but it is worth a try to find a frequency so we can
all join in on the DX net together. There are many VK stations from the
west to the east coast that would like to work you. If you can join the
present net or assist in finding a clear net frequency, please send any
frequency reports to vk6jb@wia.org.au and I will collate them. I would
also like to offer an open invitation to any amateur interested in 40m
DX, to join our YAHOO group. Address details are as follows:

HAM RADIO IN SPACE -
CHINA TO LAUNCH NEW HAMSAT IN 2009
AMSAT says that China will likely launch a new ham radio satellite in
2009. The ham radio space agency says that it has received a report from
Michael Chen, BD5RV, that indicates the CAS-1 amateur radio bird has
completed its IARU frequency coordination and the hardware has been
finished.
The payload of CAS-1 will likely include a CW telemetry beacon, a linear
transponder, an FM repeater and a digital store and forward transponder.
These operations will use 2 meters for uplinks and 70 centimeters for
downlinks at 500mW output power. The satellite is expected to be
launched from China into a sun synchronous orbit with a 670 km apogee.
According to Chen the CAS-1 team is waiting for another payload to be
finished before launch date is officially set. (ANS)
New Russian satellite RS30
On May 23rd had been launched with success the "Yubileiny" satellite,
named RS30, by rocket, from the Plesetsk, base, along with three other
communication birds. This launching was a mean to celebrate the50th
anniversary of the first artificial bird "Sputnik-1" The beacon is
sending on 435.315 MHz.
This is an educative bird. It will be able to transmit SSTV and vocal,
in the 435 MHz band (see 435.215 MHz). It seems too that a digital
transponder is aboard to the Russian Universities students use, to make
simulations of works to be made in the future on bigger satellites.
