will run from 22.00 UTC on 4 December through 16.00 UTC on the 6th.
IOTA ANNUAL UPDATE (NEW DEADLINE) ---> The deadline for this year and
future years is 31 JANUARY (one day earlier than previously).
Applications or updates submitted online on or before 31 January 2010 will
count for the 2010 Honour Roll and Annual Listings so long as the
supporting cards sent to checkpoints are postmarked no later than that
date. Updates postmarked after 31 January will be processed in the normal
way but scores will be held over to the following year's listing. To remain
listed in the performance tables participants will need to have updated at
least once since February 2005.
On-line credit for QSOs made during the 2009 IOTA Contest is expected to be
claimable around Easter 2010.
NAVAL CONTEST ---> This year's International Naval Contest will be
organized by the Nucleo de Radioamadores da Armada (NRA), the Portuguese
Navy Amateur Radio Club. Complete details on the event, that will be held
on 12-13 December, can be found at http://www.nra.pt/
NOT THE MANAGER ---> Marc, F6DAY says he is receiving cards for 5R8AL, but
he is not and has never been his QSL manager.
QSL GA2MP ---> This special event callsign will be in use until 30
November. Current logs are in LoTW as of 19 November. QSLs are on order,
but will not be in-hand before the cutoff for DXCC (31 December). If anyone
needs a card for their 2009 DXCC submission, N3SL can fill your request
using a GS2MP card. Simply indicate that with your QSL. Those who already
have sent an SASE, email N3SL (n3sl@arrl.net) with the request to confirm
using the GS2MP card. All others will be answered when the new cards
arrive. [TNX N3SL]
QSL 9M6LSC ---> Please note that the QSL route for contacts made on 25-30
November 2009 (CQWW CW included) is via KM0O. The callsign was used also by
Brian, 5B4AIZ/G4ODV on 6-9 March 2008 (QSL via G3SWH). For all other

active from Bangui, Central African Republic", Paul, W4FC says. "He was a
Baptist missionary and served there for over 20 years until the political
situation prohibited him from returning. He died from a heart attack at the
age of 69 in Clermont, FL. He gave out many new country contacts while
there".
