* PLEASE NOTE: The report "could" contain "Pirate/SLIM" operations or
  more likely a "BUSTED CALLSIGN". As always, you never know - "Work
  First Worry Later" (WFWL).

5W, SAMOA ACTIVITIES (Update/Callsign Confusion)...........
  * Ralph, H44RK, who was originally expected to be active as 5W0RK or
    5W0KR from Apia until March 3rd (2013) from Samoa, has informed OPDX
    of the following [edit]: Hi All.... After a crazy week and weekend
    of packing, getting my licence and moving to Apia, Samoa, I have
    finally arrived. The good news is that I have my latest and permanent
    callsign 5W0W. After a lot of to and fro with suffixes 'RK' and 'KR'.
      So all is good that ends well, so they say, so 5W0W it is and have
    now set up QRZ.com for that. For those of you who made a contact with
    me on Sunday's ANZA DX net as 5W0KR.... well it is a valid one, but
    if you need a QSL card, I will have to disappoint, but I am sure we
    will make many more contacts with this final call. Thanks to you all
    for your understanding..... Best 73... Ralph, 5W0W"
    Remember, his activity will be on 20-10 meters using SSB and the
    Digital modes. QSL via NR6M.

  * NOW TO REALLY CONFUSE THE SITUATION! Ralph, VK4VB/5H3RK, was active
    from Samoa during this past week as 5W0RK (You confused yet!). Activity
    was on 17 meters CW/SSB, but by the time you read this he will probably
    be QRT. Ralph was there on business, but plans to be active from Samoa
    twice yearly until 2015. QSL via VK4VB.

AFRICAN ACTIVITY. Starting December 10th, Roger, LA4GHA, who works for
the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in East Africa, will
be active as 5Z4/LA4GHA from Nairobi, Kenya, and from Garowe, Somalia
(license not yet issued) for the next two years. Activity will be on
160-10 meters using CW, SSB and the Digital modes, as time permits. QSL
via LA4GHA, by the Bureau or direct. Look for more info to be forthcoming.

C6, BAHAMAS (Update/Another Callsign Confusion). Gil, N2GG, was active
as C6AGG early in the week from Grand Bahama Island (NA-001). However,
on December 4th, Gil's callsign was corrected to C6AEE. Gil states, "I
was originally issued C6AGG in error by the Bahama authority. I will
respond to any C6AGG QSL requests with a C6AEE QSL." Actually, C6AGG
belongs to Carolyn Wardle of Nassau and has had the callsign for 22
years. Gil will be on the island until December 13th. Activity will
be holiday style on 80-10 meters using mostly SSB with some CW. QSL
via N2GG.

CE0Z, JUAN FERNANDEZ. Several sources are reporting that a team of 10
operators will be active from Robinson Crusoe Island (SA-005) during
mid-2013. It was also mentioned that this is the same group who activated
D64K earlier this year. Look for more details to be forthcoming.

EC4, SPAIN (On the Birds!). John, K8YSE, reports: "Luis, EC4TR, is looking
for North American stations to set up schedules with him. His grid square
is IN80er. E-mail him at his QRZ.com E-mail address if you would like to
contact him. FO-29 is over 1300km high during morning passes over the
Atlantic now. AO-7 is always around 1450km and is in Mode B on odd days
during December."

IOTA NEWS..............

                    YASME EXCELLENCE AWARDS AND SUPPORTING GRANTS

   The Yasme Excellence Award is awarded to individuals who through their
own service, creativity, effort and dedication have made a significant
contribution to amateur radio.  The contribution may be in recognition of
technical, operating or organizational achievement, as all three are
necessary for amateur radio to grow and prosper.  The Yasme Excellence
Award is in the form of a cash grant and an individually-engraved crystal
globe. =


    The Board of Directors of The Yasme Foundation is pleased to announce
the award of the Yasme Excellence Award to the following individuals:

 - George Fremin, K5TR; Tree Tyree, N6TR; Trey Garlough, N5KO; and Scott
   Neader, KA9FOX, for their contributions to many infrastructure projects
   that benefit the ham community at large.

 - Mark Spencer, WA8SME, for his instrumental work in the ARRL Teachers
   Institute and other training efforts, development of PIC microcontroller
   projects and books for amateurs, and work with leaders in student and
   scientific teams applying amateur radio to scientific projects and
   experiments.

 - Champ Muangamphun, E21EIC, and Pornchai Semjang, HS2JFW, for leadership
   in the Thai amateur community, especially during the recent flooding
   which helped open the door to the new Thai HF licensing and enhanced
   the stature of amateur radio with the Thai government.

 - Tomas Hood, NW7US, and Carl Luetzelschwab, K9LA, for sustained education
   of the amateur community regarding propagation, solar and geomagnetic
   physics.

 - David Freese, W1HKJ, for creating and maintaining the freeware software
   package FLDIGI, probably the most widely used digital communication
   software in ham radio and a frequent gateway for new hams who are more
   familiar with computer-based communications.

 - Dean Straw, N6BV, for his contributions to amateur antenna system design
   and the development of software tools such as HFTA to optimize system
   design.

 - Peter Martinez, G3PLX, and Pawel Jalocha, SP9VRC, for the development
   of PSK31, a widely used digital mode entirely invented by amateurs
   that is enabling many amateurs to successfully use HF with very modest
   stations.

 - Arie Kleingeld, PA3A, Ad Van Ginneken, PA8AD, and Arie, PA3AN, for their
   sustained contributions to the Mercy Ships Project.

   Thank you for your fine work and congratulations to you all!
