6Y5/JA0RQV ---> His business trip has been rescheduled for February 2016,
and Masa, JA0RQV has had to cancel his activity from Jamaica, which was
expected to start on 24 October [425DXN 1273].
C6ATS ---> John, 9H5G (C6ATS) will be returning to the Bahamas next winter,
and is conducting a survey "to find out the bands and modes that people
want (or need) to work C6 or the IOTA groups on. That way I can at least
know what to aim at": https://kk4oyj.wordpress.com/2015/10/08/the-c6-survey/
DXCC NEWS ---> Sharon Taratula, Awards Manager at the ARRL Radiosport
Department, reports that TX3X (Chesterfield Islands, 2015 operation) and
ZA1KS (Albania, 2015 operation) have been approved for DXCC credit.
IARU 90 AWARD ---> Celebrating the 90th anniversary of the founding of the
International Amateur Radio Union, IARU issues a certificate for contacts
made with jubilee stations from ten different IARU member countries in the
period 1 January-31 December 2015. The free of charge certificates are
issued in electronic format directly from http://iaru90.hamlogs.net (SWLs
can send their application to ua6yw[@]mail.ru).
TX3X ---> The TX3X operators at the Chesterfield Islands have experienced
strong winds right from the start. Conditions are "erratic", and signals
"have been weak to moderate" with some really strong - and at times
unexpected - openings. The team's plan is "to take down the stations first
thing in the morning Oct 12 (local)", i.e. during the UTC late
afternoon/evening of the 11th. Finally, they "know there are PSK31 log
entries that should be either SSB or CW and a few other problems" that will
be corrected.
