7P8C ---> Club Log's OQRS for the recent  DXpedition  to  Lesotho  has  been
activated. From 8 to 17 February 50180  QSOs  with  17297  unique  callsigns
were made (26908 SSB, 19236 CW and 4036 RTTY). Further  information  on  the
operation and a photo gallery can be found at www.lesotho2016.com.

FT4JA ---> "Last month, we reached a milestone with the shipment by  sea  of
our equipment which marks a definite point of  no  return  for  the  project
both for logistical and financial support", the FT4JA team  reported  on  23
February. Departure  for  Juan  de  Nova  is  expected  on  26  March,  with
operations planned between  29  March  and  11  April.  There  will  be  six
stations active on the HF bands, and one station  for  6m.  Read  the  Press
Release  on  www.juandenovadx.com,  and  pay  attention  to  the  band  plan
coordinated  with  VK0EK.  Further  information,  including  QSL  route  and
real-time monitoring, is expected a few days before departure.

VK0EK & AUDIOLOG ---> "This service enables us to call on a  telephone  from
any location (including from Heard Island), and  make  an  audio  recording.
The system automatically captures the audio track, and  provides  it  online
for anyone to listen with  any  browser.  You  can  listen  to  the  initial
recordings by going to https://media.vk0ek.org". The Audio Log entries  will
be  posted  daily  to  DXpedition's website (http://vk0ek.org/) in the  News
section.

VP8STI/VP8SGI & LOTW ---> "Although our previous policy  was  to  give  LoTW
only to those who requested a QSL card and then do a  full  LoTW  upload  in
September", the Intrepid-DX Group VP8 Team announced  on  28  February,  "we
have just now decided to do a full upload to  LoTW  as  our  way  of  saying
'thank  you'  for  everyone's  generous  support!  We  have  just  completed
uploading the entire VP8STI and VP8SGI logs to Log Book of the World.  Soon,
we will upload VP8IDX and VP8DRC logs to LoTW as well.  We  hope  that  this
gesture will negate the need to send us bureau  cards  which  we  feel  will
someday be replaced by Log Book of the World. It is our  hope  to  encourage
and promote this development. Soon, you will be able  to  read  accounts  of
our journey and we will produce a nice video which we will  share  with  you
at no cost".

+ SILENT KEY + Norman Pascoe, G4USB passed away on 11 February. He  was  one
of the founders and the yearly organiser of the International  Marconi  Day,
one  of  the  most  popular  events  in  amateur  radio.  Both  the  event's
(gb4imd.com) and the Cornish Radio Amateur Club's (gx4crc.com) websites  are
currently offline. "We are trying to sort this and  gain  access  to  them",
Steve G7VOH says, "but it will take some considerable time.  For  those  who
have already registered there is have nothing more to do but if anyone  need
to register please email crac.imd[@]gmail.com and they will be  added to the
list". [TNX RSGB]

7P8C ---> Club Log's OQRS for the recent  DXpedition  to  Lesotho  has  been
activated. From 8 to 17 February 50180  QSOs  with  17297  unique  callsigns
were made (26908 SSB, 19236 CW and 4036 RTTY). Further  information  on  the
operation and a photo gallery can be found at www.lesotho2016.com.

FT4JA ---> "Last month, we reached a milestone with the shipment by  sea  of
our equipment which marks a definite point of  no  return  for  the  project
both for logistical and financial support", the FT4JA team  reported  on  23
February. Departure  for  Juan  de  Nova  is  expected  on  26  March,  with
operations planned between  29  March  and  11  April.  There  will  be  six
stations active on the HF bands, and one station  for  6m.  Read  the  Press
Release  on  www.juandenovadx.com,  and  pay  attention  to  the  band  plan
coordinated  with  VK0EK.  Further  information,  including  QSL  route  and
real-time monitoring, is expected a few days before departure.

VK0EK & AUDIOLOG ---> "This service enables us to call on a  telephone  from
any location (including from Heard Island), and  make  an  audio  recording.
The system automatically captures the audio track, and  provides  it  online
for anyone to listen with  any  browser.  You  can  listen  to  the  initial
recordings by going to https://media.vk0ek.org". The Audio Log entries  will
be  posted  daily  to  DXpedition's website (http://vk0ek.org/) in the  News
section.

VP8STI/VP8SGI & LOTW ---> "Although our previous policy  was  to  give  LoTW
only to those who requested a QSL card and then do a  full  LoTW  upload  in
September", the Intrepid-DX Group VP8 Team announced  on  28  February,  "we
have just now decided to do a full upload to  LoTW  as  our  way  of  saying
'thank  you'  for  everyone's  generous  support!  We  have  just  completed
uploading the entire VP8STI and VP8SGI logs to Log Book of the World.  Soon,
we will upload VP8IDX and VP8DRC logs to LoTW as well.  We  hope  that  this
gesture will negate the need to send us bureau  cards  which  we  feel  will
someday be replaced by Log Book of the World. It is our  hope  to  encourage
and promote this development. Soon, you will be able  to  read  accounts  of
our journey and we will produce a nice video which we will  share  with  you
at no cost".

+ SILENT KEY + Norman Pascoe, G4USB passed away on 11 February. He  was  one
of the founders and the yearly organiser of the International  Marconi  Day,
one  of  the  most  popular  events  in  amateur  radio.  Both  the  event's
(gb4imd.com) and the Cornish Radio Amateur Club's (gx4crc.com) websites  are
currently offline. "We are trying to sort this and  gain  access  to  them",
Steve G7VOH says, "but it will take some considerable time.  For  those  who
have already registered there is have nothing more to do but if anyone  need
to register please email crac.imd[@]gmail.com and they will be  added to the
list". [TNX RSGB]
