required to send "medium letters" by International Air to Australia & South
Pacific will be 2.00 NZD (about 1.75 USD), and 2.50 NZD (about 2.20 USD) to

QSL 4U1ITU, 4U1UN & 4U1WRC ---> Get your missing QSLs for QSOs with 4U1ITU,
4U1UN and 4U1WRC (2012) at the Swiss DX Foundation's booth at Hamradio 2014
(Friedrichshafen) on 27-29 June. Additionally you can also get QSL cards
for HB9SOLAR and HB14SAF. Bring your QSO data with you and observe the
working hours of the QSL manager (to be available at the booth). [TNX DX
Newsletter]
QSL FT5ZM ---> On 17 June N2OO reported that the cards were "just arriving
from printer. The SJDXA QSL team has been hard at work preparing the
labels. All of our attention is focused on FT5ZM QSLs right now. I ask
everyone waiting for other cards that I handle to be patient while we get
through this enormous project".
QSL HZ1HX ---> Effective 1 June, E73Y is the new QSL manager for HZ1HX.
Boris has complete logs and will be able to confirm direct and bureau
requests for all QSOs. Clublog OQRS will be activated he receives the cards
from the printer.
VK0EK: HEARD ISLAND 2016 ---> The radio team is being reorganized from
scratch. "We have been building the radio team over the past year", the
latest (14 June) post on http://vk0ek.org/ says, "and we have more than
half the projected 20 participants committed. Unfortunately, in the past
two months five team members withdrew, including the team leader, citing
conflicts or the desire to participate in a shorter, less challenging
DXpedition". Therefore it has been decided to completely reorganize the
radio team. "The first step is to identify a new team leader who is widely
respected in the DXing community and experienced with organizing and
leading DXpeditions to rare locations. The new team leader will have the
authority and responsibility for re-building the radio team and for
managing the amateur radio operations on Heard Island".
W1AW WAS ---> Look for ARRL Centennial stations W1AW/3 from Maryland and
W1AW/9 from Illinois to be on the air starting at 00.00 UTC on 25 June
until 23.59 UTC on 1 July. Complete information on the ARRL Centennial QSO
Party can be found at www.arrl.org/centennial-qso-party.
WRTC 2014: CALLSIGNS ---> WRTC teams will be using 59 of the 75 call signs
in the "1 x 1" special event block for the first call area, from K1A
through W1Z. Sixteen of the available 75 callsigns will not be used,
including the longest and shortest CW suffixes (J, Q, Y, E), suffixes that
are frequently miscopied on CW (H) and suffixes not available in this
callsign series (X). The teams will not know the callsign they will use
until the referee hands them a sealed envelope just 15 minutes before the
contest begins. This puts all teams at an equal starting point and helps
maintain the anonymity of the teams.
Participation awards are available for anyone who works a WRTC 2014 teams
during the competition: www.wrtc2014.org/competition/participation-awards/.
