425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The November 2012 issue is now available for
download at www.425dxn.org/monthly/index.html. [TNX IZ3EBA]
IOTA CHARGES ---> IOTA charges, most of which have remained unchanged since
2007, will rise on 1 January 2013. The full list can be seen at
http://www.rsgbiota.org/info/directory/charges-en.pdf. The new fees will be
applied automatically through the charging module to all applications
received on or after 1 January. The RSGB regrets the need to increase
charges but the current financial climate makes this unavoidable.
Applications/updates received before that date will attract the previous
charge.
IRON HAM CONTEST ---> Drawing inspiration from the Ironman Thriatlon races,
the Araucaria DX Group introduces the WW Iron Ham Contest, a competition
that combines the main operating modes (Phone, CW and RTTY) into one single
contest to be held on 29-30 December (from 12 UTC on Saturday through 11:59
UTC on Sunday). The 24-hour contest is organized to have 8 hours of
operation on each mode in periods no shorter than one hour. Complete
details can be found at www.araucariadx.com/ih/ [TNX PY5EG]

can be found at http://pt0s.com/PT0S_Summary.pdf
QSL NA-161 ---> All direct requests for the 17-19 August activation of
NA-161 (KL7XK/p, VA7AQ/NL5, VE7DP/WL9) have been mailed. Please note that
some of the VA7AQ/NL5 cards have a typo-error: check your card and if the
label reads VA7AQ/NL7, please contact Heinz by email. Provide your complete
mailing address and and you will receive another QSL. Email requests for
bureau cards can be sent to va7aq[@]yahoo.ca and ve7dp[@]rac.ca. [TNX VE7DP]

ZL9HR ---> The team arrived at Campbell Island around 18 UTC on 30
November, and came on the air at about 04.30 UTC on 1 December using
minimum equipment. The following day the full range of masts and antennas
were installed. ZL9HR is expected to QRT on 9 December at 08.00 local time
(19 UTC on 8 December). The decision is based on the weather forecast, as
they need to get favourable conditions for the voyage back to New Zealand.
