425DXN: NEW SEARCH TOOL ---> Leonardo Lastrucci, IZ5FSA (iz5fsa.leo@tele2.it)
reports he has developed a piece of software which allows to query the 425
DX News Archive now maintained on www.ari.it from the PacketCluster. The
commands are:
SH/425 CAL shows the 425DXN Calendar "current" activities;
SH/425 BULL [num] where [num] is the bulletin issue number;
SH/425 [text] where [text] should be replaced with a callsign, an
IOTA
reference number, an island name, an Antarctic base,
a
lighthouse, etc.
425DXN: THE SPANISH EDITION ---> The website of the Union de Radioaficionados
de Gijon (EA1URG, http://www.ea1urg.com/) now hosts the Spanish language
version of 425 DX News. Many thanks to Fabian, EA1/LW6DX (web editing) and
Miguel, EA1KI (translation).
ARRL NEWS ---> On 30 December Wayne Mills, N7NG announced that, effective 16
January, he resigns his position as ARRL Membership Services Manager. "Such
an early departure had not been my plan", he says, "but had become
necessary". Wayne had succeeded Bill Kennamer, K5NX on 2 May 2000, after
serving as chairman of the ARRL DX Advisory Committee for three years. First
licensed in 1953 at age of 10, he is best known for his operating on
DXpeditions over the past 20 years - XZ1A (1995), BV9P (1995), BS7H (1997),
H40AA (1998), TX0DX (2000) just to name a few. Wayne will be returning to
Jackson Hole (WY): "I hope to regenerate an active interest in Ham Radio back
in Wyoming", he says, "Maybe there'll be another DXpedition or two as well,
and look for N7NG to be an active Wyoming contributor to LoTW as long as it's
in business".
EUCW 160M CONTEST ---> The Union Francaise des Telegraphistes (UFT, the
French EUCW society) sponsors the annual European CW 160 Meter Contest, which

UTC). Rules can be found at http://www.uft.net, where it also possible to
download the software written by Alain, F6ENO. [TNX F5NQL]
MARS ---> N. Khosbayar, JT1CD reports that a new organization, the Mongolian
Amateur Radio Society (MARS), was established on 18 November 2006. "Once all
licensed amateur radio operators of Mongolia have switched their membership
from MRSF [the Mongolian Radio Sport Federation, ed] to MARS, we hope that we
can change the name and keep IARU membership", he says. "MARS will continue
to pay its due to IARU and the QSL bureau will be working permanently in the
future". JT1CD is the Secretary General of the newly born organization, and
held the same position at MRSF.
NOT THE MANAGER ---> Dieter, DK3SF says he has been receiving QSL cards for
contacts made with C31GN since April 2006. Dieter operated as C31GN in July
1973 and July 1975, but has nothing to share with the 2006 station (a

pirate).
NOT VIA K1WY ---> Paul Marshall, K1WO is one of the sorters for the first
call area QSL Bureau in the US. "We continue to receive hundreds of QSLs from
Europe and Asia" for a number of stations that K1WY no longer manages. Please
refer to the usual sources of QSL information (www.qrz.com, etc) for the
following stations, and refrain from sending them via the bureau to K1WY:
4L0DXP, 4L4KW, 4L5O, 5A3O, 5N0AIP, 5N0NAS, 5R8ET, AX1TX, BV4FH, GI0PCV,
OD5NJ, OX3SA, P29CC, RU0AK, S21J, TF0GX, TF4FT, TF4RX, TF7RX, TF7X, TF8GX,
TF8RX, TO0DX, UA0ACG, UA0AOZ, UA0DC, UA0ZBK, VK1TX and ZD7VC.
OPERATORS NEEDED ---> Frosty, K5LBU is organizing his annual trip to Africa,
possibly Botswana (A22) or Lesotho (7P8). Plans are to arrive on 9 July and
depart on the 23rd, which means two weekends on the air (IARU Contest
included). Please contact Frosty (frosty1@pdq.net) if interested in joining
him.
+SILENT KEY + Dewald Voigt, ZS1FRD, a 25-year-old antenna engineer and
scientist, was killed in a transport accident shortly after arriving at

about 25% of the direct requests. He has recently received a final log
update, and he is checking the 'not in logs' thoroughly against these new
logs, event htough this slackens his work rate a bit. "A number of you
requested QSLs for other stations I manage", he says, "I've been able to
finish many of these before the YX0 cards arrived, so that hasn't slowed me
down. But for those of those I missed, this will slow the request down
substantially. Please do not re-submit, as this just adds confusion". Logs
will be uploaded to LOTW after Steve gets the direct cards mailed.

**** GOOD TO KNOW ... ****
===========================
Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH
Direttore Responsabile I2VGW
ARRL NEWS ---> Several organizational changes at ARRL Headquarters became
effective on 22 January. A new department, tentatively called the Programs
and Services Department, will combine most functions of the former Membership
Services Department and Field and Educational Services. Dave Patton (NN1N)
has been named manager of the combined department, and Norm Fusaro (W3IZ)
will become assistant manager of the combined units.
DENMARK ---> The Danish IT and Telecom Agency has opened the possibility to
apply for new prefix block callsigns. They should start being issued by

mid-March, so don't be caught unawares if you hear OU, OV, 5P and 5Q stations
from Denmark, as well as XP callsigns from Greenland and OW callsigns from
the Faroe Islands.
DXCC HONOR ROLL ---> The deadline to be shown in the next DXCC Honor Roll
listing is 31 March. Submissions must be postmarked 31 March 2007 for your
submission to count for this listing. The DXCC Honor Roll list will appear in
August 2007 QST. There are 337 entities on the DXCC list and you must be
within the numerical top 10 DXCC entities to qualify. The current minimum
requirement for Honor Roll is 328 current entities (deleted entities do not
count towards this level). [TNX NC1L]
LU2ERA/Z ---> Henry (LU4DXU) says that he saw that Hugo was at the Orcadas
Base in the South Orkney Islands, he suggested him to operate on the amateur
radio bands "without knowing that he never went to renew his LU2ERA license
and lost it. This callsign has now been issued to another individual. As soon
I received this information I spoke with him to cancel the operation. All QSL
cards received will be returned to the sender. Mistakes happen and I hope
that Hugo eventually renews his license and is able to activate such rare
Bases in the near future". [TNX NE8Z]
NOT THE MANAGER ---> Graham, M5AAV says that with immediate effect he is no
longer the QSL Manager for G6PZ, GX6PZ and GB6MD.
QSL EU-179 ---> As of 20 January, Alex (UX2IQ) had processed and mailed all
of the direct requests for UT3IB/p, UT9IO/p & UX2IQ/p. Anyone still needing a
card can apply for one either direct with adequate return postage and SAE, or
via the UARL bureau. [TNX UT3IB]
QSL XF4DL ---> The cards for the latest Revillagigedo operation have been
printed in Germany, and the QSL manager for the Americas (N6AWD) is still
waiting for them to arrive. Hopefully he will receive them in the next 2-3
weeks, for the time being please be patient and do not resubmit. [TNX XE2K]
USA DROPS CW ---> The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has modified
the Amateur Radio Service rules and eliminated Morse code exam requirements
for all amateur licence classes. The new rules become effective on 23
February. Full information can be found at http://www.arrl.org/fcc/morse/.

3B7C ---> Two members of the Five Star DXers Association (FSDXA) recently
visited Mauritius to set up logistics for the 7-24 September operation from
St. Brandon [425DXN 814]. All the necessary permits and licences are in hand,
and a suitable ship has been located to take the team members and something
like 6 tonnes of equipment to the island. The full press release no. 3,
issued by Don Field (G3XTT) on 30 January, will be published in the latest
425 Magazine (http://www.425dxn.org/monthly/index.html).
ARRL NEWS ---> "Membership and Volunteer Programs Department" (MVP) is the
official name for the ARRL newly born department that combines most functions
of the former Membership Services Department and Field and Educational
Services [425DXN 821]. The MVP manager is Dave Patton, NN1N.
DXCC NEWS ---> The VU7LD operation from the Lakshadweep Islands (1-30
December 2006) has been approved for DXCC credit. [TNX NC1L]
LAKSHADWEEPS 2007 ---> VU7RG went QRT at 18.30 UTC on 24 January, after 9
days and 92,134 QSOs (65.1% CW, 29.1 SSB, 5.1 RTTY) made from the islands of
Agatti, Bangaram and Kadmat (all of them are AS-011 for IOTA). The VU7RG logs
can be found at http://www.dx-pedition.de/lakshadweep2007/logs/logsearch.php
(logs are in the process of being checked). The band and continent breakdowns
are as follows (full statistics for VU7RG are now available at
http://www.dx-pedition.de/lakshadweep2007/operations/statistics.html):

VU7MY remained active from Minicoy (AS-106) until around 15.30 UTC on 30
January, with a total of about 17,000 QSOs. The QSL routes for VU7MY are the
same as for VU7RG; according to the expedition website (www.vu7.in) on-line
logs will be published sometime in February.

http://www.rlx.lu/lx_prefix_assignment.htm [TNX LX1KQ]
QSL 4O3T ---> The last problem QSLs were sorted out this past week and should
reach their destinations by 15 February at the latest. It was also noted that
an unknown volume of direct requests were lost in the postal system somewhere
along the way. Over the next ten months the direct QSLing phase will continue
through sub-QSL managers: John, N7CQQ (USA & Canada); Martti, OH2BH (Japan
and Asia); Hans, PB2T (Europe and the rest of the world). By the end of 2007
the rest will be released for distribution via the worldwide bureau network.
QSL YT6A via YU1FW. [TNX OH2BH]
QSL J79XBI ---> Please note that the QSL route for contacts made between 16

QSL YX0A/YX0LIX ---> Steve, KU9C says that about 70% of the direct cards have
been mailed. There is stills a large pile of cards that include QSOs that are
not in log (it seems there were at least two major "slim" runs, one on 15
metres and one on 80 metres), requests for /mm cards, requests for YX0A
and/or YX0LIX and other cards that he manages. Steve has not started bureau
cards yet, and won't for some time. "I apologize for the slow delivery of
these cards", he says, "My hope was to be able to mail these a long time ago,
when I had some slack time in my schedule, but the process 'came together'
just as some hectic work and personal commitments came into my schedule".
+ SILENT KEYS + Peter McKay, G3WQU passed away in Lebanon on 28 January.
While working for the United Nations, he operated as E4/G3WQU, CN2PM, S07PM
and 4W3CW.
Patrick de Verteuil, HH7PV died of a heart attack on 13 January. He lived in
Haiti for 34 years and gave many DXers their first QSO with that Country.. He
was also very active on 6 metres.

Direttore Responsabile I2VGW
The following announcement comes from Tom Harrell (N4XP) through Don
Greenbaum (N1DG).
"After three years of effort to obtain permission to land and operate from
the most needed entity in the world, that needed authorization has been
received. A multi-national team led by W6RGG will operate from Scarborough
Reef for ten days in late April. BA1HAM and BV4FH have been
instrumental in bringing this operation to reality with ongoing support being
provided by N4XP, N1DG, K5YY and N6MZ.
A team is being assembled that will include members from Asia, Europe and the
USA.
As with any DXpedition to a location such as this, transportation is very
costly and will be the largest single expense. Success will depend on the
contributions of the DX community.
Please QRX for more information as it becomes available and the web site is
activated".

April

not
to be sufficient, and the team is actively seeking sponsors
and
financial help. Details on the expedition and on how to
contribute
can be found at http://3b6.godx.eu or from Witek,

ANTARCTICA AWARD ---> The Award Manager (Gianni Marruccella, IZ8CGS) reports
that all of the certificate requests received as of 31 December 2006 have
been processed and mailed along with the complimentary map of Antarctica
published by the Australian Antarctic Division [425DXN 700].Up-to-date score
tables are available at www.mdxc.org/antarctica/award.asp.
NOT THE MANAGER ---> Victor Diniz, CT1AUO (contact him at ct1auo@netcabo.pt,
if you need a QSL manager) is receiving (and returning to sender) many bureau
cards for CS5A he cannot reply to. Please note that he can confirm contacts
made with CS5A between 2001 and June 2004 only.
QSL V51AS ---> The new QSL route [425DXN 823] should be all right effective
10 March. Send your cards to Frank Steinhauser, Schlossstr. 68A, 82140
Olching, Germany and be prepared to wait a bit: this is not a QSL manager, so
it may be up to four months before you will hear back from Frank, but it is a
reliable route. [TNX WE7K]
QSL VIA I2WIJ ---> Roberto, I2WIJ reports that "due to unpredictable delays
in QSL card printing", he is currently unable to confirm contacts made with
CN3A and 5D5A. Hopefully the QSL cards will be available before then end of
March. Please be patient.
QSL VIA IV3SKB ---> Cards for contacts made with IU3A operated by IV3HAX
between 2001 and 2005 should be sent direct to IV3SKB. Do not send any bureau
or direct card to Mauro, IV3HAX, because he cannot receive them. [TNX IV3HAX]
QSL VIA IZ8CLM ---> Sal, IZ8CLM reports that all of the contacts made with
S79RS (May-June 2006) and CE70RG (July 2006) have been confirmed
automatically via the bureau. Sal also has the complete logbooks for Samir,
OD5SK from 1983 to date.
+ SILENT KEY + Gianni Rizzi, I7RIZ (ex I8RIZ) passed away on 13 February. A
personal friend of your trulies for several years, he was a serious DXer with
337/351 (current/deleted) credited DXCC Entities, as well as a keen IOTA
enthusiast. We will miss his presence on the pile-ups and at the various HF
meetings and conventions he and his wife Marisa used to attend on a regular
basis.

At 6 UTC on 25 April, the BS7H team left Hong Kong harbour on a 60-hour
voyage to Scarborough Reef, from where they intended to be QRV for 9 days.
However, at 02.40 UTC on 27 April the team was located approximately 240

progress because of extremely rough seas. Current estimated arrival to BS7 is
their Sunday morning local time. Because of rough seas, there has been no
maritime mobile operation. The announcement that they have commenced radio

As for the cards, please refrain from e-mailing inquiries to the the QSL
manager (KU9C), as he is not in a position to answer whether you are in or
not in the log at the moment. "If you are not in the web log", he says,
"don't give up, put down EVERY QSO you believe you had, and I'll do the rest.
If the web log shows 20 SSB, put down EVERY qso you think you had on 20 SSB,
not just the first". In case of busted calls, Steve will use
"well-established judgement in issuing the card, and may ask you to help
confirm that the person whose call appears did not make a QSO". Finally, "if
you DO NOT HAVE ANY detail besides what is in the web log online, it's
impossible for me to give you credit for the card - I'm not in a position to
issue a QSL to you 'just because' the web log says you're there. Not the way
it works".
ANTARCTIC CHALLENGE ---> Gil, F5NOD reports that the Antarctic Challenge
scores are up-to-date at http://f6kdf.ath.cx/f5nod/index.htm
HELP KADEK ---> Island chasers and hams throughout the world have been
saddened by the news of Kadek's (YB9BU) material losses following the fire
that destroyed his house in early April. "Help Kadek" initiative represents
our way to show a friend that we care and that we do appreciate his long time
dedication to the IOTA community. We hope that our support will help Kadek
rebuild his radio shack and bring him back on the air. Please visit our web
page at http://www.mdxc.org/yb9bu to find more about this initiative and to
contribute to this fund through one of the regional collection points.
MONTENEGRO ---> Quoting a spokesman from the ITU Radiocommunication Sector,
The Daily DX reports that the 4O0-4O9 callsign prefix block has been
allocated to Montenegro. Serbia will continue to use YT0-YT9 and YU0-YU9,
while the 4N and YZ prefixes have been withdrawn and given back to the ITU
for future use to another nation.
QSL MANAGER OFFERED ---> Petr, OK1DOT (Petr.Gustab@seznam.cz) is willing to
offer his services to a station in need. He can provide QSL cards at no
charge to the stations he manages. Information on his QSLling policy can be
found at http://www.qrz.com/ok1dot [TNX OK1DOT]

HISTORIC MARCONI IRISH TOUR ---> In 1898, Gugliemo Marconi received the first
commercial opportunity for his newly invented wireless telegraph apparatus
and established a wireless link for shipping between Ballycastle and Rathlin

Island. In 1907, Marconi's dream of fixed point-to-point wireless telegraph
stations linking Europe and North America became a reality. The stations were
located at Derrygimla near Clifden, and at Glace Bay, Nova Scotia.
To commemorate these significant events, Hal, W8HC will operate as GI/W8HC/p
from Ballycastle on 4-5 August (he will be also taking part in the annual
Marconi Festival at Ballycastle with the Marconi Radio Group's MN0MRG special
event station). On 6 August Hal will go and operate from East Lighthouse
(ARLS NTI-011) on Rathlin Island (EU-122). On 9-10 August he will be active
as EI/W8HC/p from the Derrygimla site, and possibly from nearby Letterfrack,
site of an ancillary receive station built in 1912. Logs will be uploaded to
LoTW and special QSLs from each of these historic Marconi locations will be
printed and sent via GlobalQSL (www.globalqsl.com). In addition, a specially
designed certificate will be issued to those stations making contact with
both GI and EI operations from either Ballycastle or Rathlin and Derrygimla
or Letterfrack. In keeping with the historic connection, all QSOs from these
locations will be CW only. [TNX W8HC]

months and 310,000 QSOs from 21 DXCC entities. Callsigns used include 3DA0VB,

list available for download www.dailydx.com). His QSLling instructions are as
follows:
1. Vlad accepts cards sent through the Russian QSL bureau, as well as
bureau
shipments mailed directly from societies or organizations to his
address
(Vladimir M. Bykov, P.O. Box 2040, Izhevsk, 426000, Russia). To keep
track
and make certain nothing is missing when a big batch is on the way, it
is
advisable to contact him (ua4whx@mail.ru).
2. He recommends sending requests direct rather than going via the
bureau.
Cards will be arranged and replied to by senders, direct/bureau
put
together. If there is enough postage, the bureau will join the
direct
requests.
3. Please avoid sending cash, use IRCs instead ("I can technically send
7
pieces of QSLs with one IRC", he says).
4. It is even possible to use credit cards (Visa or Master Card). "I
will
keep records of the transaction together with your QSL requests",
Vlad
says. "The transaction is 100% secure and will be done
electronically
through Svezhy Veter Travel Agency".
5. Those who made multiple QSOs, can send only one card along with the
QSO
list on a sheet of paper.
6. Vlad did not use a computer, and all QSOs are on paper logs. He will
have
a few people to help help him with the QSLing. He will let everyone
know
when the first cards are out.
UK POSTAL RATES ---> Mike, G3TEV (QSL manager for 9J2BO) reminds stations
that send for direct QSL cards that due to the current exchange rate a
minimum of 2 USD or 1 IRC is required for postage to anywhere outside the UK,
Eire and rest of Europe included. The new postal rates became effective on 2
April 2007.

3B7 - The various logistical arrangements for the 7-24 September 3B7C
operation from St. Brandon have been confirmed, a detailed site
survey of the QTH (Isle du Sud) has been made, the container of gear
has been shipped and everything is looking good.
Amateur radio activity on 6 metres is not normally allowed from
Mauritius and its outlying islands, but the group has been able to
gain a short-term permit, limited to three fixed frequencies: 50090
(CW), 50102 (CW), 50145 (USB).
Bob, N6OX has joined the team, but they still have a vacancy for one
team member to bring the total team to 20. "We are seeking a team
player and an outstanding operator who is ideally known to one of
the current 3B7C team members", says G3XTT (g3xtt@lineone.net). "A
6m specialist would be particularly welcome".
Keep an eye on the web site (www.3b7c.com), which continues to be
updated on a regular basis.

and Radiosportsmen) Chairman Alexander Pantchenko, EU1PA would like to remind
everyone that the BFRR QSL bureau service is for BFRR members only. The
Belarus QSL bureau has limited financial resources, so that QSL cards sent to
non members are not returned to sender. The BFRR members list can be found at
http://www.bfrr.net/
DXCC NEWS ---> 9U0X (Burundi, February 2007) has been accepted for DXCC
credit. Those who had cards rejected for this operation, can send an e-mail
to dxcc@arrl.org and they will be placed on the list for update. [TNX NC1L]
NA-231 ---> Ken, G3OCA and Cezar, VE3LYC had to cancel their attempt to go
and operate from East Pen Island (NA-231, 20-22 July), due to various
problems encountered on arrival at Ft. Severn in northern Ontario. Basically,
the unusual number of polar bears on the island and the walrus colonies
"extremely protective" towards their cubs made the crossing to and the
staying on East Pen too dangerous.
NOT THE MANAGER ---> Corrado, IT9DAA reports he is not the QSL manager for
YV1CTE, YV1RDX and YY1JGT any longer. Cards should be sent direct only to the
respective addresses (see www.qrz.com). Corrado still handles the cards
(direct and bureau) for 4M5DX, 4M5R, YV1FM, YV5MSG, YV5SSB, YV5TX, YW0DX
(NA-020, 8-13 February 2007), YW1DX (SA-089, 26-29 July 2007), YW4C (SA-058,
7-10 July 2005), YW5CQ, YX5IOTA (SA-044, 26 September-1 October 2006) and
YY4RN.
QSL BS7H ---> The first QSLs were mailed on 23 July. Steve, KU9C, has
received over 10,000 envelopes, so it is expected it will take approximately
two months before every card is answered. Please do not send for a second
card until we announce all cards have been answered. Steve will also upload
QSOs to LOTW as he processes the cards so, if you utilize LOTW, you can
expect your QSOs to show up roughly the same time you receive your card. This
will allow you to avoid mailing in your physical QSL card for verification.
A small number of QSL cards were received with either no SASE, or a SASE with
old style IRCs that are no longer valid. KU9C will attempt to contact you via
email, but if he cannot contact you, these will be returned by the bureau.
Steve will also upload bureau card QSOs to LOTW as they are processed. [TNX
N1DG]
QSL N8S ---> All of the requests received before 1 June have been processed
and sent out. They are about 14,500 direct cards (the last batch of 2,500
cards was mailed on 25 July) and 1,000 bureau QSLs. There are still some
2,500 direct requests, received after 1 June, that will be processed within
the next couple of weeks. Keep an eye on www.yt1ad.info/n8s/news.html [TNX
YT3W]
QSL VIA 9M2TO ---> Tex now has a Post Office Box, and his new mailing address
is: Tex Izumo, P.O. Box 125, GPO 10710, Penang, Malaysia. Use this address
when QSLling direct for 9M4SDX, 9M4DXX and 9M4SIX (otherwise use the 9M2 QSL
bureau). Cards for QSOs made with 9M2TO himself go via JA0DMV, direct or
through the JARL bureau. [TNX 9M2TO]
QSL VIA SM5DQC ---> Georges, 9Q1EK is the only one currently active from the
Democratic Republic of Congo. His log has been updated on www.logsearch.de
(if you do not find a QSO you are sure of, please e-mail
sm5dqc@areteadsl.se). Phillipe, 9Q1TB is on vacation until early August, and
Osten (SM5DQC) says he is still waiting for his latest log to arrive. QSLs
direct only to Osten B. Magnusson, Nyckelvagen 4, SE-59931 Odeshog, Sweden
(and do not forget that 1 USD does not cover return postage from Sweden to
anywhere).

+ SILENT KEY + Bert "Axel" Rohrbeck, DL7PR, passed away on 25 July at 65
years of age after a short illness. Licenced in 1969, he earned his 5-Band
DXCC as early as 1971 and he was one of the most active and famous DXers in
southern Germany. "His longpath signal on 40m CW", says Mike, DJ5AV, "was an
indicator of propagation between Europe and Stateside nearly every day during
European winters".

will be implemented "probably later this year," Sumner said. [TNX

Direttore Responsabile I2VGW
>>> 3B7C

Many thanks to John, G3WGV for forwarding the following update coming from
the 3B7C team at St. Brandon.
3B7C passed the 100,000 QSO mark earlier today (20 September, Ed.). Our
DXCC total is also at 187 - quite remarkable. We have been posting occasional
updates on our web page, but felt this was a good moment for a more complete
update. Our data link with the outside world is limited to a satellite uplink
and the priority has been daily log uploads. We are very pleased with the
feedback on our web page, especially the novel features on the log lookup and
the band/mode listings.
The team is in good spirits and all equipment and antennas are working
well. We are particularly pleased at the way we have been able to run two
modes simultaneously on both 80 and 20 right from the start. In the last few
days we have also added a limited capability to do this on 15 and 17 to make
the most of limited band openings. The disappointment has been that band
openings have been somewhat more limited than we had hoped and propagation on
all bands varies substantially from day to day so we ask forbearance from the DX
community - we try to hit all major band openings when conditions permit.
Noise levels also vary substantially from day to day on the LF bands -
yesterday was good and we were able to work a number of US stations on 160
SSB.
The good news is that we have some real successes, for example working the US
West Coast on 160 at our sunset, and consistent West Coast openings both
short- and long-path on 80 and 40. We started RTTY operations last weekend
and currently have about 3.5k RTTY QSOs in the log, many stations telling us
that 3B7 is new for them on that mode. However, and with some reluctance, we
have decided not to work PSK31 as we feel this will very much be a repeat of
those stations we have already worked on RTTY (and bearing in mind that the
RTTY DXCC does not differentiate between data modes), whereas there is still a
huge demand on all the traditional modes. Indeed, this is perhaps the
greatest surprise - that with so many QSOs made from 3B7 in recent weeks the
pile-ups remain at a very high level when bands are open.
Our beacon has been running continuously on six meters, but we have no
reports of reception apart from VQ9. Nonetheless we will keep trying as this
will be a new one for the Deserving.
We will be very QRV over this coming weekend, trying to work round the SAC
SSB contest where possible (e.g. by working RTTY and/or CW on those bands
during the 24 hours of the contest). Station break-down will start on Monday
24th, though we will try to keep at least some stations QRV until shortly

4S7DXG ---> Radio Society of Sri Lanka's Secretary Victor Goonetilleke, 4S7VK
says that 4S7DXG (UR9IDX) "is operating without a valid licence". He used
that callsign in the past and "has applied for renewal", which "has not yet
been granted by the Ministry of Defense". He also claimed "to operate from
IOTA AS-171, Barbaryn Island, which needs special clearance from the Harbour
Master which he hasn't received". [TNX www. islandchaser.com]
BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA ---> In August [425DXN 849] the ITU granted a request from
the Ministry of Communications and Transport of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH)
to replace T9A-T9Z with E7A-E7Z. The change was made initially on a
provisional basis under authority of the ITU Secretary General and was
confirmed by the 2007 World Radiocommunication Conference to be effective 17
November 2007. A press conference was held in Sarajevo on 18 December to
formally announce the change. Amateur Radio station licences bearing E7
prefixes will be issued beginning in January 2008, and the use of other
prefixes will be phased out. [TNX www.arrl.org]
E4/OM2DX ---> Mike/OM2DX, Steve/OM3JW, Rudy/OM3PC and Miro/OM5RW made nearly
30,000 QSOs during their recent 7-day operation from Bethlehem, Palestine.
Their final statistics are as follows:
SSB CW RTTY TOT
------------------------------------
160 39 2050 0 2089
80 0 4866 0 4866
40 493 6775 0 7268
30 0 3033 0 3033
20 3151 2220 1048 6419
17 2298 1365 0 3661
15 672 1385 0 2057
12 0 55 0 55
10 0 0 0 0
------------------------------------
TOT 6653 21749 1048 29450
Why did not they work more SSB? "The answer is easy", Mike, OM2DX says.
"Doors to Palestine are pretty much opened for anybody and we are sure that

every other expedition will spend much more time on SSB than on CW. There are
also some local licensed operators but once they will come on air it will be
again SSB only". The complete log and a few pictures can be found at
www.om2dx.com/. QSL via OM3JW, direct or bureau.
QSL 3V8SS ---> The QSL cards for 3V8SS operated by RW4WM (2-10 October 2007)
