E30FB ---> The DXpedition to Eritrea went QRT at  09.00  UTC  on  17  March.
Club Log's statistics show 62665 QSOs (CW  33305,  SSB  26574,  RTTY  2786).
"Murphy was a  constant  companion  on  this  DXpedition  and  impacted  our
antennas and computers", the team says. "We beat Murphy back each time  with
skill and determination. You will be surprised to know that  almost  all  CW
was sent by hand keys". QSL via M0URX. Donations to  help  offset  the  very
high air cargo costs are gratefully accepted, and can be sent via PayPal  to
jh1ajt[@]fgc.or.jp.

IOTA AUCTION ---> The Publishers of DX-World will again take a stand at  Ham
Radio Friedrichshafen in  June.  This  year,  continuing  their  pursuit  of
financial support for IOTA DXpeditions, they are planning  to  auction  some
items received from team members of  various  island  DXpeditions  over  the
last few months. A number of attractive items have  already  been  promised,
including signed flags from some of the rarest  islands  recently  activated
and various items of memorabilia contributed by IOTA  Management.  The  plan
is still at an early stage and the team looks to readers to help  them  with
ideas (or even products you may wish  to  donate)  to  generate  that  extra
revenue for future IOTA DXpeditions. Please get in touch with  the  DX-World
Team if you have something unique, quirky or funny you would be  willing  to
donate for auction for this very  worthwhile  cause.  Full  details  are  at
http://www.dx-world.net/small-update-from-dx-world/. [TNX G3KMA]
