ET3AA ---> "On 30 May 2011 the reopening of the club station of EARS, our
Ethiopian member society took place. Professor Doctor Heiko Schroeder, Head
of the Technical Faculty of the University of Addis Ababa and Hans Blondeel
Timmerman, President of IARU Region 1 cut the ribbon. Donations from STARS
and others helped to enable the revival of ET3AA. Led by Sid ET3SID the
club installed their their shack and built antennas on top of the roof of
the Technical Faculty of the University of Addis Ababa". The full story is
available on the IARU Region 1 website (www.iaru-r1.org).
MUSEUM SHIPS WEEKEND ---> Sponsored by the Battleship New Jersey Amateur
Radio Station (NJ2BB), this year's Museum Ships Weekend will be held from
00.00 UTC on 4 June until 23.59 UTC on the 5th. Information on the event,
including the relevant certificate and the listing of participating ships,
can be found at www.nj2bb.org
TOP LISTS ---> The latest Topband, Topmode and Toplist listings are now
available at www.425dxn.org/awards/toplist/index.html. QSOs confirmed
through LoTW or included in on-line logs are eligible for listing. Send
send your scores, as well as any request for further information, to
Erminio Pandocchi, I2EOW (i2eow[@]fastwebnet.it)
SEANET CONTEST & CONVENTION ---> This year's SEANET Contest will take
place on 4-5 June (24 hours). The results will be announced at the 39th
SEANET Convention, to be held in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam on
17-20 November. Full information on the Contest and the convention can be
found at www.seanet2011.com
SOUTH SUDAN DXCC STATUS ---> By Martti Laine, OH2BH: "With great
anticipation, DXers the world over are looking forward to the 9th of July
this year as the predicted day of South Sudan's declaration of
independence. Indeed, that declaration is set to happen, but it will not
yet guarantee the birth of a new DXCC entity, at least at that time. The
DXCC rules are written in such a way that only a new country's membership
in the United Nations and/or its ITU country prefix will result in the
anticipated DXCC counter. The U.S. State Department Geographer's list of
Dependencies and Areas of Special Sovereignty obviously does not apply in
this case.
The opinion from the ARRL is that no exceptions will be made in this case.
They state that the event date - i.e. declaration of independence - will
not cause potential QSOs to be counted retroactively. Rather, Newington
categorically assumes that U.N. membership, which will most likely come
first, followed by the release of an ITU prefix by the U.N.
telecommunications agency, will lead to country status.
The prospect of a new country has taken an unexpected turn just recently.
The country's borderline has never been settled between North and South
Sudan in the area (Abyei) where most of the oil reserves are located. It
was agreed under the 2005 Peace Agreement that the border issue will be
resolved by the people in that province. A referendum to settle the matter
has not happened. Instead, the North (ST2) has entered the disputed
province with force. Additionally, the North has stated that they will not
support an independent State in the south unless the contested region is
theirs. The matter now remains totally in limbo
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-13560829).
While the amateur radio project announced earlier this year by 5Z4DZ,
ST2AR, W3UR and OH2BH is well underway, it is not yet reasonable to swing
your antennas toward South Sudan, as we speak. The project has two
well-known DXers now permanently based in South Sudan: SM7PKK and
YI1DZ/ST2DZ. The knowledge and the professional presence are in place to
proceed with an immediate activation as soon as the above country status
matters are resolved. More news to follow". [TNX OH2BN]
WORLD CASTLES WEEKEND ---> Organized by the World Castles Activity Group,
it will be held on 25-26 June. Several stations are expected to operate
from fortresses and castles in Belarus, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic,
France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania,
Russia, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Ukraine and the
United Kingdom. Information on the event can be found at www.wcagroup.org
