8P6DR MISSING RTTY LOGS ---> There is a  problem  with  logs  for  the  2015
activity, Richard G3RWL (8P6DR) reports. Some RTTY QSOs  were  lost  in  the
backup process. If you think you had an  RTTY  QSO  with  8P6DR  during  the
following dates: 25 March to 2 April, 4-8 April  and  9  April  (from  16.22
UTC) to 13 April, but the QSOs do  not  appear  in  Club  Log,  then  please
contact him immediately (g3rwl[@]amsat.org). After a few  days  (to  correct
any broken, or missing, callsigns) he will upload to LOTW. Later  amendments
will not get onto LOTW. Other information  is  on  his  qrz.com  page.  [TNX
G3RWL]

NEPAL ---> After the devastating earthquake that  hit  Nepal  on  25  April,
14205 and 14215 kHz are being used by controlled nets  for  emergency  radio
traffic. Also 14300 kHz might be used,  so please keep these  frequencies  5
kHz clear of all  transmissions unless you are directly involved in contacts
with Nepal.
"The ARRL along with other groups around the world are trying to respond  to
the request for VHF handhelds and other  equipment  which  has  been  passed
over the 20m emergency nets",  IARU  reported  on  30  April.  "However  the
process to get even basic emergency supplies and  Search  and  Rescue  Teams
into the area is hampered by restricted capacity at  Kathmandu  Airport  and
Customs procedures".

OC-274 ---> Departure was delayed for 12 hours, and  YB4IR  and  YB8RW  left
Ambon around 2 UTC on 27 April. Apparently bad weather conditions  prevented
them from landing for quite some time, as they started activity  as  YB4IR/8
and YB8RW/p from Pulau Bingkudu, Penyu Islands (OC-274, new  one  for  IOTA)
on 29 April around 5 UTC. Then "a bad storm hit the islands", and they  were
off the air for over 24 hours as they "spent the  entire  day  drying  their
equipment". Operations resumed around 8 UTC on 1 May. The latest  report  on
https://lucipara2015.wordpress.com adds that Imam and Din now plan  to  stay
on the island until 3 May.
