DXCC NEWS ---> TL8ES (Central African Republic, 2011 operation) and TT8ES
(Chad, 2012 operation have been approved for DXCC credit. [TNX NC1L]
HEARD ISLAND 2014 ---> The initial operators for the 2014 expedition to
Heard Island (www.heardisland.org) include KK6EK, ON6TT, DL1MGB, N6MZ,
DJ9ZB, NP4IW, AD6E, N4GRN, DJ5IW, N6PSE, W3WL, W0GJ and AA7XT. The next
round of team members will be announced on 15 August.
IOTA EU-117 & EU-133 GROUPS ---> This is an abridged version of the
official announcement dated 16 June that can be found on the RSGB IOTA's
website.
Following the decision by the ARRL to delete Malyy Vysotskiy Island (MVI)
from the current DXCC list as of 17 February 2012, the IOTA Committee has
considered action to be taken with regard to the future of EU-117. A
consultation conducted by an enlarged IOTA management group produced a
clear majority in favour of splitting EU-133 to form two groups within the
Gulf of Finland, North and South. The dividing line has been set at 60
degrees, 15 minutes north. The islands now constituting the two groups can
be seen via the Search facility on www.rsgbiota.org. The change has an
effective date backdated to 17 February 2012. Past credits for MVI will
continue to stand and new opportunities are created for contacting EU-117.
Record-holders need take no action regarding existing credits as they will
not be deleted as a consequence of this change, nor in the case of EU-133
credits need they be transferred unless requested.
OH10X/MM ---> Kristina Cruises Ltd with Radio Arcala, OH8X of Finland, are
in the process of testing whether a permanent Amateur Radio station will
suit the maritime environment and serve DXers in their leisure time,
whether cruising in the Mediterranean or off West Africa or just doing
island-hopping in the Caribbean.
The onboard station will be active at the peak propagation hours to various
continents on 14267 kHz on 20-24 June. The test cruise will take the ship
to Estonia (ES), Gotland, Sweden (SM1), Aland Islands (OH0), and back to
Finland. The objective for the first run is to look at potential
interference issues both ways - from the Amateur Radio station to the
ship's navigation system and from the ship's advanced PC networks to the
reception of Amateur Radio transmissions.
YASME AWARDS ---> The Yasme Foundation has for many years offered two Yasme
Awards, available at no cost to qualifying applicants. The first Yasme
Award, in the form of a handsome plaque, is offered to those amateurs who
submit proof of 30 QSOs with Yasme officials and DXpeditions that have at
least one Yasme official as a participant. The second, the Yasme Supreme
Award, is in the form of a representation of the YASME boat used by Danny
Weil in his around-the-world DXpedition and is available to those who
submit proof of 60 QSOs with Yasme officials and DXpeditions with a Yasme
official as a participant.
After a year-long evaluation of the rules for qualifying call signs, the
Board of Directors is pleased to announce that the rules for qualifying
call signs have been revised. As a result, many call signs have been added
to the list. The revised list of call signs eligible for both awards is
available at http://www.yasme.org/DXpeditions.html
