FT4TA ---> The Tromelin Island 2014 Story can be read online, and it is
also possible to order the hardcover book. "We choose to write a report
which would tell in details all that one would like to know in connection
with such adventure: the 'behind the scenes' of FT4TA!", the team says. "In
these days with of DQRM, anonymous and nasty comments, it does not exists a
better answer than explaining, and try to sensitize, show the work done for
a so ambitious project". Please visit http://blur.by/1KGFCIT (French
version) and http://blur.by/1LziqfS (English version).
K1N ---> An interesting interview with Glenn Johnson, W0GJ on the recent
DXpedition to Navassa Island can be found on the Mediterraneo DX Club's
website: http://www.mdxc.org/k1n-interview-for-mdxc-by-w0gj/. It gives good
food for thought, and it's definitely worth reading.
QSL VIA NR6M ---> Rex is the new QSL manager for A6/N2IEN, FJ/KB2HZI,
FJ/N2IEN, FJ/NN2DX, FJ/W2RE, FJ/WW2DX, TF/W2RE, VP2EZZ and VP2V/N2IEN. The
logs have been uploaded to Club Log, and the OQRS has been enabled.
WRTC 2014 ---> Produced by James Brooks (9V1YC), the WRTC2014 official
documentary video (59 minutes) is now available for viewing at
https://vimeo.com/119947598. James took advantage of nine roving video
teams to capture high definition footage of action at headquarters and out
in the field, artfully telling the WRTC2014 story using the participants'
own words. Plans are to make a downloadable version available in the near
future, to help facilitate use at club meetings.
+ SILENT KEYS + Hans Berg, DJ6TJ passed away on 18 February at 72 years of
age. He was Chairman of the old IARU Region 1 HF Working Group and the
Region 1 HF Committee from 1984 until 1993. He was also the Foreign
Relations Committee Chairman of DARC (1982-2003).
Sandor "Alex" Gyorfi, HA7UW died unexpectedly on 20 February. "Alex had
been a conscientious IOTA checkpoint since October 2005 and during these
ten years had shown himself to be a great supporter and friend of IOTA",
G3KMA says. He also "served the HA amateurs over a very long period as the
chief of the QSL bureau, setting a gold standard that was impossible to
exceed".
