DXCC NEWS ---> 6O0M (Somalia 2011), 9U3TMM (Burundi, December 2011-January
2012) and T6BP (Afghanistan, current operation commencing in 2011), as well
as AX/VK0TH (Macquarie Island), have been approved for DXCC credit. If you
had either of these operations rejected in a recent application, send a
note to bmoore[@]arrl.org to have your record updated. Once updated, this
will be reflected in your LoTW account and/or in the live, daily DXCC
standings on the website (www.arrl.org/dxcc).
LoTW ---> Jacques, F1VEV says he is in the process of uploading to LoTW his
logs for TR8CJ (1988-90) and V85CJ (1990-94).
PY0S ---> Amateur radio activities have been banned from St Peter & St Paul
Archipelago. The Brazilian Interministerial Commission for the Resources of
the Sea's programme aimed at "the exploration, use, conservation and
management of natural resources in the archipelago and its surroundings"
specifically excludes amateur radio expeditions as they "do not meet the
objectives" of the programme itself (www.mar.mil.br/secirm/i-proarq.htm).
LABRE and Brazilian DX groups are mobilizing the support of government
representatives to try and reverse the decision. [TNX PY2YP]
RSGB COMMONWEALTH CONTEST ---> The 75th edition of the Commonwealth (BERU)
Contest (www.beru.org.uk) will be held on 10-11 March, from 10 UTC to 10
UTC, on 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 metres CW. Only operators located within the
Commonwealth or British Mandated Territories are eligible to enter, so
please check the list at www.rsgbcc.org/hf/information/codes.shtml before
calling.
TZ5T CANCELLED ---> The 12-27 April expedition to Mali [425DXN 1087] has
been postponed indefinitely for security reasons, as the country is in the
midst of an uprising by separatist Tuaregs and the conflict is worsening.
+ SILENT KEYS + The DX community worldwide mourns the loss of Ron Wright,
ZL1AMO, who passed away on 6 March at 75 years of age. A top-notch CW
operator, for some 25 years he conducted countless DXpeditions throughout
the Pacific, and was inducted into the CQ DX Hall of Fame in 1985.
Other recently reported Silent Keys include Hiroshi Kuroda (JA1FRQ) and Wan
Morhisham bin Mokhtar (9W2GL), president of the Malaysian Amateur Radio
Transmitters' Society (MARTS).
