DXCC NEWS ---> The recent 3W3MD and 3W3MD/p operations from Vietnam have
been approved for DXCC credit.
IARU 90 ---> Currently celebrating the 90th anniversary of the
International Amateur Radio Union are also SU90IARU from Egypt (November
and December, QSL via OM3CGN), YB90IARU from Indonesia (1 November-31
December, QSL via bureau), VI90IARU from Australia (QSL via bureau) and
LY90IARU from Lithuania (2 November-31 December, QSL via LY8O). The latter
callsigns was first activated in April by LY3BY, who unfortunately passed
away in August. Apparently it has been impossible to retrieve those logs.
IOTA BASH 2016 ---> The 12th annual IOTA Bash will be held on 26-27
February in Boerne, Texas. For further information, please contact Mike
Crownover, AB5EB (ab5ebdxer[@]gmail.com) or visit the IREF website
(www.islandradio.org). [TNX AB5EB]
INDEXA NEWSLETTER ---> The Fall 2015 issue of the International DX
Association's (INDEXA) Newsletter is now available for download at
www.indexa.org/newsletters.html. This issue (#111) features the report of
the FT4TA DXpedition to Tromelin which concluded in November 2014. [TNX
W3OA]
IOTA NEWS ---> Record-holders who have made IOTA contacts in an IOTA
contest after 2003, can claim credit for them without submitting QSLs,
provided that the contact details match, either by manually entering the
QSO information on the input form or by uploading a Cabrillo format log.
The 2015 IOTA Contest data has now been uploaded to the IOTA database and
is available for QSO matching. This is significantly earlier than in
previous years and we should thank all on the IT side involved. [TNX G3KMA]
K1N DVD ---> The DVD of the February 2015 DXpedition to Navassa Island is
now available: see www.k4uee.com for the details. "It took eight years to
send men to the moon, but it took thirteen years to get permission to visit
Navassa Island. The long road involved getting permission from the US Fish
and Wildlife Service, because Navassa has been declared a National Wildlife
Refuge. The DVD shows the logistical challenge of moving fifteen operators
and tons of gear to this small uninhabited island in the Caribbean. It was
hot work - and expensive - since the only practical way to get there was
via helicopter. This two-week effort paid off with 140,000 QSOs and many,
many all-time new ones, as tens of thousands of hams worldwide weren't even
licensed the last time Navassa Island was activated in 1993".
THE END OF AN ERA ---> The DX Magazine's annual Most Wanted Survey has come
to an end. "For the past few years I have been comparing the DX Magazine
survey results with the one available from Michael Wells, G7VJR on his
ClubLog web site", Carl Smith (N4AA) says. "The two results have
consistently closely paralleled each other. After serious consideration, it
seemed to me that the ClubLog Most Wanted information would adequately
serve the DX community. The one conducted by The DX Magazine would not
offer enough difference to justify the cost in time, or money, for it to
continue. I want to thank the thousands of DXers, world-wide, who have
supported The DX Magazine survey for the past 25 years". The DX Magazine
(http://www.dxpub.net/DX-Magazine.html) "will continue to provide DXers
with the stories of DXpeditioners traveling to the far reaches of the earth
to provide you with those cherished contacts from rare and exotic places. I
want to encourage the organizers/leaders of those DXpeditions to continue
offering their stories. By telling others, who, what, where, when and how
you made that operation possible, the story can be the final chapter of the
DXpedition. It might also inspire others to make the effort to organize
their own DXpedition, or to at least make a donation to the next major
DXpedition".
YASME EXCELLENCE AWARD ---> In 2008 The Yasme Foundation (www.yasme.org)
established the Yasme Excellence Awards, to be presented to those 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 latest
recipient, announced on 13 November, is the N1MM+ Development Team (Tom
Wagner N1MM, Rick Ellison N2AMG, Steve London N2IC, John Bednar K3CT,
Nikolay Safronov NA3M, Pete Smith N4ZR, Andreas Hofman KU7T, Larry Gauthier
K8UT and Richard Ferch VE3KI). "The initial N1MM Classic is a sophisticated
logging program offered at no cost to contesters around the world. N1MM+ is
a major revision to the original program and was a completely volunteer
effort of thousands of programmer-hours to rewrite and test more than
250,000 lines of code (www.n1mm.com). The program continues to be made
available without charge and continues to be refined on a regular basis,
supported by an extensive user group and full documentation". [TNX W6SZN]
