DXCC NEWS ---> 9X0XA (Rwanda, 2013 operation), T6TM (Afghanistan, current
operation) and VU7AG (Lakshadweep Islands, 20 November - 10 December 2013)
have been approved for DXCC credit. [TNX NC1L]
INDEXA NEWS ---> "The officers of the International DX Association, INDEXA
(www.indexa.org), have agreed to send an additional donation of 2,500 USD
to the Amsterdam Island, FT5ZM, DXpedition team. INDEXA's financial support
for this DXpedition has now grown to 10,000 USD. Our membership of
worldwide DXers has been generous to us this year with donations. Thus,
INDEXA felt further support to the FT5ZM team was appropriate".
K9W ---> The K9W Wake Atoll Team thanks the DX community for the
outstanding response to The Forgotten 98 Commemorative DXpedition. K9W made
53765 CW, 38700 SSB and 7562 digital QSOs. The final QSO percentages per
continent are NA 35.3%, AS 32.3%, EU 26.9%, OC 3.1%, SA 1.8% and AF 0.6%.
All of the QSOs have been uploaded to Club Log, and "most, if not all,
corrections have been made". Please write to info[@]wake2013.org for
possible problems with the ClubLog upload. The printed QSLs are in transit
to the QSL manager (AA4NN). The use of OQRS for direct and bureau cards is
highly recommended (see http://wake2013.org/pages/qsl.html). [TNX W8GEX]
QSL HP0INT ---> Vincent, F4BKV mailed about 50% of the direct cards for the
Panama IOTA Tour on 12 December, the others will follow on the 23rd. Those
letters will be sent from Hong Kong, he says; direct requests with French
postage stamps on their SAEs will be processed in early January.
STORMY WEATHER: OH8X ---> Radio Arcala (OH8X) has lost its 100m (330 ft)
tall tower that supported 160m and 80m Yagis. The structure weighed 40 tons
(80,000 lbs) and did not survive recent storm Oskari's gusts of up to 68
knots. "The mammoth structure collapsed peacefully, not hitting any of the
other six towers, not hurting people or damaging buildings", OH2BN reports.
"It is suspected that automation designed to enable the array to find its
most comfortable position in high winds somehow locked up and caused the
structure to corkscrew and crumble down on its on base".
STORMY WEATHER: SV2ASP/A ---> The Daily DX reports that also Monk Apollo,
the only active station from Mount Athos, has lost all of his antennas,
which "fell down in the big wind storm last week". Apollo is currently "in
Corinth, Greece for the olive harvest" and "does does not know when he will
have the time to get something back up in the air".
