425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The latest issue (May 2009) is now available at
http://www.425dxn.org/monthly/index.html. Articles and pictures should be
sent to Nicola Baldresca, IZ3EBA.
ANTARCTICA ---> A nice collection of images for a large number of Antarctic
bases, including those where F5PFP and ON7ZM operated from in
February-March (FT5YJ, VP8DLM and CE9XX), canbe found at
http://www.french-polar-team.fr/ (click on "Antarctic Challenge" and then
on "Antarctic stations, huts & refuges". [TNX F5PFP]
CORSICA ---> Maurice, F5NQL reminds all foreign amateur radio operators
heading to Corsica that (a) the use of 6 metres is strictly forbidden over
there and (b) the 7100-7200 extension on 40m has not been granted so far.
DXCC NEWS ---> HZ1EA (Saudi Arabia) has been approved for DXCC credit. If
you have had this operation rejected in a recent submission, please send a
note to dxcc@arrl.org to be placed on the list for an update. Also, once
completed, if you have an account in LoTW, the update will be posted to
your account. [TNX NC1L]
K5D QSL STATUS ---> Bob Schenck, N2OO and his team have finished OQRS
requests received through about 4 May. OQRS QSL processing will be resumed
shortly, and the system continues to be available for QSL requests.
The team is now focusing on the direct mail in the same order as the mail
was received. Bob continues to do the log processing after which the QSLs
will be mailed gradually by members of his QSL processing team. As of 2
June they have confirmed 26,353 QSOs, and "it will surely be a few months
before we can become current".
The first large batch on CONFIRMED QSOs ONLY will be uploaded to LoTW
within the next week: "by only uploading confirmed QSOs (in batches)", Bob
says, "we think that this is a fair compromise that is a win/win for
everyone involved". The balance of the full log will be uploaded in early
2010.
For the time being, please do not contact the QSL manager about QSL issues,
but visit www.k5d.us for current QSL status. Bob will be happy to address
any concerned "when things calm down". [TNX N2OO]
LOGS ---> A log serach for the 23-30 May TM0M activity from Molene Island
(EU-065) can be found at http://users.belgacom.net/cdxg/ [TNX ON4ZD]
PHOTO GALLERY ---> The Dayton Hamvention 2009 Photo Gallery (292 pictures
collected by Tom, K8CX) can be found at http://hamgallery.com/dayton2009/
[TNX K8CX]
PORTUGAL DAY CONTEST ---> Sponsored by the Rede dos Emissores Portugueses
(REP), this 24-hour event will be held on 13 June on 10, 15, 20, 40 and 80
metres SSB and CW. Details can be found on the REP's web site at
http://rep.pt/geeklog/article.php?story=20090203150742367 [TNX CT1END]
QSL VIA W5UE ---> Randy Becnel, W5UE [425DXN 941] is the new QSL manager
for 9V1YC, 9V9HQ and N1YC/VK9X. After many years of excellent service as
James' QSL manager, Joe/N5ID is handing over duties to Randy in order to
recuperate after an extended illness in hospital. W5UE has all the logs,
blank cards and pending QSL requests for all James' callsigns, so feel free
to check his website (http://w5ue.net/qsl-w5ue.html) for periodic updates
and status of QSL requests.
Randy will also honour any requests that may be needed in the future for
the following old calls held by James: 9V0YC, 9V8YC, KB1CM/VR2, KB1CM/VS6,
KB1CM/ZS, KH8/KB1CM, VR2/KB1CM and VS6/KB1CM. However, all of these logs
are on paper only and will require extra processing time, and Randy will
probably have to manually print cards as well. [TNX W5UE]
TOP LISTS ---> The latest Topband, Topmode and Toplist listings are now
available at http://www.425dxn.org/awards/toplist/index.html. Please note
that QSOs confirmed through LoTW or included in on-line logs are eligible
for listing. Send send your scores, as well as any request for further
information, to Erminio Pandocchi, I2EOW (i2eow@fastwebnet.it)
VK4FRAJ ---> This is neither a pirate, nor 'a commercial station', but
properly licensed Raj DeYoung, the 14-year-old son of Eddie DeYoung, VK4AN.
"There is still much reluctance and confusion amongst contesters regarding
VK 4-letter suffix calls", Eddie says. "My son is probably the only VK with
a 4-letter suffix that operates on CW, and is VERY frustrated when
contesters keep asking if his call is 2-letters or 3-letters".
Australian four-letter suffix callsigns have been issued to Foundation
Lincence holders since 2005. They can only use commercially manufactured
equipment and are allowed to operate SSB, AM, FM or "hand keyed" CW on 80,
40, 15, 10 and 2 metres, plus 430-450 MHz, with power restrictions. All
Foundation class suffixes begin with an "F" plus three more letters. [TNX
W1AW]
WFF GREEN DAYS ---> More than 50 stations from various countries are
expected to take part in "Green Days" event organized by the World Flora
Fauna programme, which will be held from 00.00 UTC on 13 June through 23.59
UTC on the 14th. Complete information can be found at
