phone and CW. Haven't gotten into any other modes yet, though I hope to
get digital modes squared away over the winter. Antennas will consist of
verticals and wires (because verticals over salt-water ground planes

Z6, KOSOVO (WFWL!). The big news this week has been the activity from
the Republic of Kosovo. As this was being written, NOTHING has been
announced yet from the ARRL's DXCC Desk on the DXCC status for Kosovo.
The ARRL Great Lakes Division Director Jim Weaver, K8JE, informed everyone
on September 19th: "Of interest to DXers is the current operation from
Kosovo -- Z60K. I want to ensure that everyone interested in QSOing this
activity understands it does not qualify for DXCC credit. This is because
Kosovo is neither a member of the United Nations nor does it have an ITU-
issued callsign block. At this time, Kosovo does not meet the established
requirements of the DXCC program. It is legal and fun to work the station,
but as the situation currently exists, it will not count toward DXCC."
  During the past week, the OPDX Desk has been sending out a few special
bulletins via the mailing lists and the NODXA FaceBook page trying to
keep everyone up-to-date. In short, activity by Z60K has been seen on
40/30/20/17/15 meters on the DXCluster network. Currently, on the Kosovo's
Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) Web page, under regulations
of the "Amateur Radio Services" (which is a draft and can be downloaded)
it does not provide authorization of operations on 80, 12, 10 or 6 meters.
This can be viewed at:   http://www.art-ks.org/?cid=3D2,13,419&sqr=3Damateur
Excerpts from press releases on the TRA Web page and QRZ.com, state that
the Z60K callsign is issued to the new Amateur Radio Association of Kosovo,
SHRAK, and will be active from new premises as soon as these are fixed.
SHRAK President, Sabit, Z61AA, together with Ali, Z61DD, are heading these
efforts. Many individual new licensees are scheduled to be operating at
the new Z60K station very soon. Also, individual visitor licensing is now
in place, and the first visitor license was issued at a gathering hosted
by the Administrators and attended by all new local hams as well as their
instructors. Emir, 9A6AA, part of the Kosovo IARU Project, was issued the
callsign Z6/9A6AA and was active as this was being written. He informed
OPDX that he made 300 QSOs as ZA/9A6AA. An application for a visitor
license can be printed from the Administrators' (TRA) Web site but, in
the short term, you can obtain an application form from any of the current
Kosovo instructors; G3TXF, N2BB/MD0CCE, OH2TA or OH2BH. They also suggest,
"Be prepared as the contesting season is also just around the corner, and
make sure to add Z6 to your master multiplier database and expect Z6
stations to appear on the air."

ZD9, TRISTAN DA CUNHA (Update). The ZD9UW team of Martin/G3ZAY and
Robert/M0VFC is now down to one operator for the upcoming Tristan da
Cunha operation. According to the ZD9UW Web page: "Martin, G3ZAY, has
been forced to cancel his onward journey from Cape Town to Tristan.
Rob, M0VFC, will still continue and be active as ZD9UW. This means
that it's now a single operator activation and will concentrate primarily
on SSB with some RTTY. Since our goal is to enable as many people as
possible to work ZD9 for the first time, this means the number of bands
we can activate will be limited - concentrating mostly on the higher bands.
We're sorry if this means you don't get to work us on the particular slots
you were after - we'll do our best given the situation!" =

  By the time you read this, Rob, M0VFC, will be aboard the MV "Baltic
Trader" and embark on a seven day journey over the South Atlantic Ocean.
Weather permitting, he should arrive on Tristan around the 27th of
September, where he will operate until the 4th of October before returning
to Cape Town. For more details and updates, visit their Web page at:
