ETHICS AND OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR THE RADIO AMATEUR ---> At its June 2008
meeting the IARU Administrative Council, noting that "poor operating
behavior adversely affects the enjoyment of all radio amateurs and does not
enhance the reputation of the Amateur Radio Services", endorsed and
recommended the principles set out by John Devoldere, ON4UN and Marc
Demeuleneere, ON4WW in their booklet "Ethics and Operating Procedures for
the Radio Amateur". The booklet is currently available in 28 languages, and
can be downloaded for free from quite a number of websites. The entire
collection can be found at www.ham-operating-ethics.org
HR5/F2JD ---> Gerard has started his activity from Honduras [425DXN 1035]
and the first batch of his log is online at
http://lesnouvellesdx.fr/voirlogs.php [TNX F6AJA]
OPERATORS NEEDED ---> Operators are being sought for an expedition
organized by the Oceania Amateur Radio DX Group to take place from Port
Vila, Vuanuatu (YJ) from 28 September to 14 October. Preliminary plans and
contact information can be found at www.odxg.org
PJ7DX ---> Logsearch and statistics for the recent PJ7DX operation from
Sint Maarten can be found at www.pagus.it/pj7dx. The QSL cards have been
received from the printer and requests are being processed by I8NHJ.
QSL A92IO ---> "Due to the deteriorating situation within the Kingdom of
Bahrain", Dave (A92IO/ EI3IO) says, "it is becoming incresingly difficult
to travel within the country. Therefore please do not send QSL requests to
my Bahrain address (PO Box 31183) until further notice. Also please do not
send to Ireland for the time being. At present all QSOs are confirmed by
ARRL's Logbook of the World for DXCC and by eQSL for WAZ etc. Sending QSLs
via EI3IO through the bureau system (not via the A9 bureau) is also OK".
His website is at www.connogue.com/ei3io/html/body_a92io_as002.html
SOUTHERN SUDAN ---> Antonio, EA5RM reports that "after a long way, a lot of
hard work and several successful meetings with Southern Sudan Government
officials of various Ministries", the first amateur radio license was
issued by the new government on 18 March. "Our DXpedition will start on
July 9th from Juba so please stay tuned". Bookmark
www.dxfriends.com/SouthernSudan2011/ for updates.
VU4PB ---> The current expedition to the Andaman Islands "was hit by a
noticeable pirate operation on 40m CW between 1527z to 1817z on 16 March",
VU2PTT says. He adds that "three of our key operators have been unable to
join us at VU4PB as planned due to health and family issues and we have
been working hard to fill the gaps with the operators that we have".
Updates, logsearch and OQRS can be found at www.arsi.info
+ SILENT KEYS + Thormod "Tom" Boe, LA7OF, former head of the European
Radiocommunications Office and current president of the Norsk Radio Relae
