NIAR PRESS RELEASE (YL Enters the Limca Book Of Records-2009). The NIAR
reports (edited): "Ms. Sadineni Yamini, VU2YAM, aged 22 years member of
National Institute of Amateur Radio (NIAR), Hyderabad, became the 'first
Indian' to participate in an International Dxpedition conducted in an
uninhabited Cocos Island of Costa Rica, Central America, during February
9-13th, 2008.
'Limca Book of Records' is the Indian equivalent to the Guinness Book
of World Records with emphasis on unique achievements of Indians within
the country and abroad. It's a salute to all those Indians who want to
do something different and be remembered for their distinctive deeds.
Yamini, excelled in her achievements for using voice as well as digital
modes of amateur radio communication technology that enables sending e-mail
without internet from a remote location. Sponsored by NIAR and Austrian
Amateur Radio Society, she was also among the youngest and the only woman
of the 12 member team consisting of hams from USA, Europe and Asia.
Several national and international organizations have recognized and
acknowledged specific achievements made by Sadineni Yamini earlier. This
exceptional achievement now finds place in National Record 2009 of the
prestigious Limca Book of Records as per the communication received from
the Editor, Limca Book of Records.
Yamini took special interest in the field of amateur radio joining as
student member at NIAR and continued to pursue this activity with outmost
dedication. She continues to motivate youth to become partners in technology
development by exhibiting her skills and undertaking challenging expeditions
under extremely difficult circumstances in the field of amateur radio, which
will remain as an inspiration to younger generation.
Many national and international print and electronic media already covered
her achievement.
Recently, in the first week of June, she participated and excelled her
performance in the 'Aila' cyclone relief operations from a remote place in
West Bengal state in India."

QSL INFO AND NEWS.....................
G3SWH QSL MANAGEMENT WEB SITE. Phil Whitchurch, G3SWH, reports: "Over
the past few days, I have had some problems with the 'QSL request' and
'contact me' functions of my web site as a result of my ISP changing
servers. However, I'm pleased to announce that these problems have all
been resolved and the web site is now fully functional." Web page is:
http://www.g3swh.org.uk
QSL HQ9R via K5WW. Erik, K5WW, reports: "It seems that quite a few people
are still sending QSL for HQ9R to N6FF. Unfortunately, Dick, N6FF,
became a Silent Key in August of 2007. I have been taking care of HQ9R's
QSL since then. Please send your QSL requests to me, K5WW."
HAVE PATIENCE! More QSL cards were received this past week for the many
UA4WHX operations. Vlad is still sending them out.
VK9LA QSL UPDATE. Bill Horner, VK4FW, QSL Manager for VK9LA, informs:
"After much haggling with the Australian Customs Department and negotiating
with a customs clearance broker, we have finally received the QSL cards
from Czech Republic. Originally I envisaged having all direct QSLing done
by the end of June, however this is not possible now. On July 2nd I will
be away from home for 2 months on a family caravaning holiday. Prior to
going I am doing as many as is possible and doing daily postings. As such,
many of you will receive your cards within a few days, but there will be
also many that will not. Please be patient and do not flood me with email
questions. Every time I have to answer an email means less QSLing done
before departure. If you are one of the lucky ones that receive your QSL
card in the next few days and find missing QSOs, be advised it is because
they were not in the log."
VY1JA QRT! Steve, N3SL, reports that he received an E-mail from "J",
VY1JA (N8JA), on June 25th, and it states that J's work stint in VY0-land
has concluded, and he is back home in the Yukon. The bad news, however,
is that he is retiring from ham radio. His note says his station has been
dismantled, and he is giving/selling everything to "younger Yukon hams."
J's last QSO in the log was 10/19/08. It's sad to see him retire. He
gave many a ham many a "clean sweep." Steve states, "I will continue to
keep his logs and answer QSLs. Akio, JA3JM, handles QSLing for JA."

first to claim the award in their particular country will also get one
point towards the two points required for the basic Geoparks diploma.
The cost of the award in the UK is 2.20 GBP, in Europe 3 Euros, and

band conditions. Many stations enjoyed chasing Chris around the bands
and modes to improve their position on the 'ZK2V leaderboard' - Jeff,
N8CC, was the overall leader with 16 band-slots out of a possible 20.
Chris has organized a different QTH for his next visit to Niue - if you
missed ZK2V, there are 2 DXpeditions to Niue in September and October
2009. Please QSL via N3SL (via the Bureau to N3SL is also OK) - all
ZK2V QSOs have been uploaded to LoTW resulting in more than 2000 QSO
matches.
