DXCC NEWS ---> Both 5T0SP (Maurotania 2012) and ZL9HR (Auckland & Campbell
Islands 2012) have been approved for DXCC credit.
DXPEDITION OF THE YEAR POLL ---> The DX World.net 2012 DXpedition of the
Year poll is now open at http://dx-world.net/. "This was an incredibly
difficult poll to decide on considering so many notable expeditions took
place during the last 12 months. It's conceivable that up to 40 different
DXpeditons could have been nominated, however, a short-list of 26 made the
poll. In previous years the poll was limited to three or five votes. This
year we have decided to allow 'free' votes on as many DXpeditions you wish
to select. In addition, to prevent repeat votes, an account must be created
using your callsign and QRZ.com listed email address. Once created you will
receive an email then you are ready to vote". The poll closes on 15 January
2013 - cast your votes! [TNX MM0NDX and IK8LOV]
IOTA NEWS ---> Updates for the Honour Roll and other annual listings must
be sent on or before 31 January. IOTA rules limit inclusion in the listings
to those participants who have updated their scores at least once in the
preceding five years and have opted to have their scores published. Listing
in the 2013 tables will be restricted to those participants who have
updated their scores since February 2008.
The following operations (February-November 2012) have provided acceptable
validation material and are therefore approved for IOTA
credit:

The 7O6T (AF-028) operation, which has been accepted for DXCC, is also
approved.
The list includes operations where validation material was specifically
required for credit to be given, as well as operations where validation
material was volunteered. In all cases, cards submitted will be accepted by
Checkpoints if they meet normal standards (i.e. the island name should be
printed on the card). [TNX G3KMA]
POSTAL RATES (ITALY) ---> Italian postal rates for standard letter items
(up to 20g) mailed abroad will increase on 1 January:

(www.usps.com) will implement another postage rate increase. The rate for

destinations will be 1.10 USD.
