REDEFINED Q-CODE ---> A redefined Q-code (QTX) is promoted to communicate
the state of affairs clearly from both ends of the DXpedition circuit. The
new QTX code was released over the past weekend at the ARI DX summit in
Rome, Italy and the RSGB Convention in the UK.
"The new meaning of QTX: when a DXpedition operator clearly spells out a
callsign and a number, it simply means that a targeted station should stop
transmitting for a specified time period, say 1 hour, and then come back
with a retuned method and mind. Alternatively, a DXer can send QTX with
band and time to a pilot station indicating that a specific DXpedition
operator's efficiency and throughput - the rate, that is - has reached a
point where the DXpedition operator cannot handle the task at hand, so much
so that it all results in a chaotic situation. The DXpedition management
folks should then act accordingly to deal with this unfortunate operator".
[TNX OH2BN]
THE FUTURE OF THE IOTA PROGRAMME ---> The following release was posted by
the Radio Society of Great Britain's General Manager on 10 October: "The
RSGB Islands on the Air (IOTA) programme celebrated its 50th anniversary as
a premier DX programme in July 2014. The last fifty years have seen the
programme grow to 2,500 active island chasers and approximately 15,000 more
casual participants. It is perhaps second in scale and scope to the DXCC
award; indeed, many would argue it is even more challenging than that
programme.
Last year the Board identified a number of challenges that the programme
faced, not least of which was the need to provide an IT system that would
allow online island credit submission akin to Logbook of the World (LoTW).
Since that time, a small group of IOTA enthusiasts has been working with
the Society to ensure that the IOTA programme continues to grow and play
the prominent role that it has done in Amateur Radio DXing and contest
activity for the last fifty years.
That work has now come to fruition and we are pleased to announce that a
new organisation will be formed, to be called the IOTA Foundation. It will
be run by IOTA enthusiasts and will manage the IOTA programme in
partnership with the Society. One major task for the new organisation will
be to develop a new online credit system that is due to be completed in
2017.
Roger Balister (G3KMA), Bob Barden (MD0CCE), Cezar Trifu (VE3LYC) and Johan
Willemsen (PA3EXX) are the team who will implement the IT changes and form
the IOTA Foundation, with representation from radio amateurs at home and
abroad". Read G3KMA's "Welcoming Response" on www.rsgbiota.org.
TX3X ---> The TX3X team logged their last QSO at 17.17 on 11 October and
left the island at 3 UTC on the 12th. The voyage back to New Caledonia was
not smooth: "with 2-3 meter seas, coming at us from different directions,
and heavy winds the boat and passengers took a significant beating". All
the logs have been uploaded to the server, and the current statistics show
50104 QSOs (50.8% CW, 38.9% SSB and 10.3% RTTY) with 14401 unique callsigns
(28.74%) located in Asia (44.43%), North America (30.22%), Europe (20.19%),
Oceania (3.71%), South America (1.23%) and Africa (0.23%). There are
hundreds of e-mails asking for a "log check", and the team reports they
"will begin the process of working through the NiL and busted calls when we
are near a reliable Internet connection. This will probably not be until 19
October".
VK0EK NEWSLETTER ---> In the sixth issue of the Heard Island Expedition
Newsletter, published on 14 October, "we celebrate and thank our sponsors.
While the current list is incomplete (we receive new sponsors almost every
day), we take this opportunity to thank not only those who have contributed
already, but all who will help us complete our fundraising goal. The good
news is that we are on track to completing the financial resources to carry
out the expedition". Subscribe to the Newsletter for free by going to
www.heardisland.org/HD_pages/HD_newsletter.php (where there is also a link
to download back issues).
VP8SGI & VP8STI ---> This appeal (abridged) comes from the organizers of
the January-February 2016 VP8STI (South Sandwich) and VP8SGI (South
Georgia) DXpeditions. "Analysis of our funding shows us that while
individual donations have exceeded all expectations, club donations have
not. We are seeing that many clubs that gave FT5ZM or K1N $1000-$2000 are
giving us $500 or a fraction of what they gave to these other DXpeditions.
Some clubs that gave quite generously to other recent DXpeditions have
decided not to make any donation to us. While we appreciate each and every
donation, with a budget of $425,000 we are making small incremental steps
when leaps and bounds are needed. To date, we have raised $142,000 above
the team contribution of $210,000. We still have a deficit of $73,000 that
we need to fill as much as we can. At this time, we are asking for those
Foundations and Clubs that have not yet made a donation to please consider
doing so": www.intrepid-dx.com/vp8.
+ SILENT KEY + Franz Nieberding, DK1II (DA0I) passed away on 8 October
2015. Licenced since 1966, he was primarily a CW operator - but enjoyed SSB
and RTTY as well - with a focus on DXing and contesting. He was the
organizer and team leader of the 7O1YGF DXpedition to Yemen (2000), and
participated in the 5A7A (Lybia 2006), ZL8X (Kermadec 2010) and T32C
(Kiritimati/Christmas Island 2011) DXpeditions. Other DX activities include
YJ0AII (2004), ZL7II (2004) and 3D2II (2010).
