CANADA & 60 METRES ---> On 22 January, Industry Canada released a decision
to allow amateur radio operators to five 60m channels (5332 kHz, 5348 kHz,
5358.5 kHz, 5373 kHz and 5405 kHz) on a non-interference basis. Amateur
stations will be restricted to telephony, data, RTTY and CW, with a maximum
bandwidth of 2.8 kHz and a maximum effective radiated power of 100 W PEP.
DXCC NEWS ---> T6EU (Afghanistan, current operation through 3 May 2014) and
TT8ES (Chad, previously approved for 2012 and 2013, and the license has
been extended through 28 February 2014) have been approved for DXCC credit.
[TNX NC1L]
DXHEAT ---> DXHeat by Tobias Wellnitz, DH1TW (www.dxheat.com) is a new
real-time Web DX-Cluster that offers versatile filtering of incoming spots,
a visual tool to check the current band activity into all continents at a
glance, and integration with WebSDR. Through its DX Analytics, DXHeat
provides meaningful statistics for amateur radio stations and their past DX
activities.
FT5ZM ---> The FT5ZM Team reached Amsterdam Island around 1 UTC on 24
January. They were waiting offshore for the island general to come aboard
and do an inspection at their 8 a.m. (3 UTC). Once this is done, they can
begin to unload all the cargo onto the Zodiac and on to the island. When
the team is ashore, they will have 18 days to set up, conduct the
DXpedition, and tear down for departure. See www.amsterdamdx.org for
updates and logsearch.
IOTA DINNER ---> The 19th Annual Islands On The Air (IOTA) Dinner will be
held on Friday, 4 April at the Visalia Marriott Convention Center, in
conjunction with the 65th International DX Convention
(www.dxconvention.com). For additional information regarding this event,
please contact Ray N6VR (rayn6vr[@]cableone.net) or Will WC6DX
(wc6dx[@]sbcglobal.net).
QSL CP6XE ---> Effective 15 January 2014, the new QSL route for Miguel,
CP6XE is via IK6GPZ, direct only. See http://www.qrz.com/db/IK6GPZ for
QSLling instructions.
QSL VK0TH ---> Trevor, VK8TH made some 15,000 QSOs while stationed on
Macquarie Island between late September 2011 and mid-April 2012. "No
further QSL cards will be processed", he wrote on VK0TH's qrz.com page on
15 January. "If you have sent a card before 01/01/2014 then your QSL will
be processed however I have no further QSL Cards for VK0TH and cannot
process the volume of QSL's still being received almost 2 years after the
expedition. My apologies and hope you understand. I am more than willing to
process eQSL and will look at making the log available via other means".
TO7CC ---> The website for the Radio Club de Provins' 6-16 February
expedition to Reunion Island [425DXN 1185] is now up and running at
www.to7cc.com
TROMELIN 2014 ---> Vincent, F4BKV has joined the operating team, in place
of F5SIH. The Northern California DX Foundation (www.ncdxf.org) has
announced a grant of $25,000 to the Tromelin Island DXpedition planned for
late October-early November [425DXN 1182]. "Tromelin is a very small and
very environmentally fragile area. There are strict limitations to the
number of visitors and the time allowable on the island. The team's antenna
plans, pilot feedback plans and enthusiasm should make this entity
available to many DXers".
W1AW WAS ---> Look for ARRL Centennial stations W1AW/0 from Minnesota and
W1AW/5 from Texas to be on the air starting at 00.00 UTC on 29 January
until 23.59 UTC on 4 February. Complete information on the ARRL Centennial
