ET7L ---> The team's stay has been extended and ET7L is now expected to
remain active until 1 May. Since 17 January they have made 34,000+ QSOs and
counting. Those who still need Ethiopia as an All Time New One (ATNO), can
email et7l.club[@]gmail.com for a sked: "we will try to be right for you at
the right time in the right place". See http://et7l.dxer.com.ua/ for
further updates. Logsearch on Club Log, OQRS to be enabled later.
Traditional cards via US0LW; the logs will be uploaded to LoTW after the
end of the operation.
FT4JA ---> The team on Juan de Nova will leave the island on 11 April.
Their dismantlement plan will have to "match with the necessary high tide.
Depending on the high wind these days this might make things difficult for
loading/unloading things with the zodiac". During the weekend they will
concentrate on the more productive bands/modes, in order "to give all a
last opportunity for an All Time New One".
FT4JA started activity on 30 March, and at 18:26 UTC on 7 April Club Log
had 83,495 QSOs (CW 38,596, SSB 38,352 and RTTY 6,547) with 21,421 unique
callsigns (25,7%). The most productive band so far has been 15m (20,933
QSOs), followed by 12m (12,773 QSOs) and 17m (12,367 QSOs).
INTERNATIONAL MARCONI DAY ---> Organized by the Cornish Radio Amateur Club,
the International Marconi Day (IMD) is a 24-hour amateur radio event held
annually to celebrate the birth of Guglielmo Marconi (25 April 1874). It is
not a contest, but an opportunity for amateurs around the world to make
contacts with historic Marconi sites using HF communications techniques.
This year's event will be held on 23 April, from 00.00 UTC through 23.59
UTC. Details, including information on the relevant Award Certificates and
the listing of participating stations, can be found at http://gx4crc.com/.
QSL 3XY5M ---> Cards are being handled by Michael, PA5M himself. Those who
requested their cards through Club Log's OQRS or direct by mail and have
not received their QSLs are invited to email Michael (pa5m@chello.nl). [TNX
DX World]
QSL 9J2BO ---> "Due to the difficulty at present of contacting 9J2BO", Mike
G3TEV reports, "I will only accept cards direct and will not accept bureau
cards until futher notice". As UK postal rates have increased [425DXN
1296], the basic rate of GBP 1.05 for standard airmail letters is "enough
for about 5 cards to Europe or a maximum of 2 cards for the rest of the
world". QSL to M.J. Mills, 3 Tylers Way, Chalford Hill, Stroud, GL6 8ND,
United Kingdom. [TNX G3TEV]
VK0EK ---> "We are approaching our last weekend on Heard Island", the Radio
Team Leader reported on 7 April. "One of our objectives is to give an
All-Time New One (ATNO) to as many DXers as possible (we all like
band-fills but they don't give the same thrill as a first contact with an
entity). To support this goal, we will be taking the following measures:
- We will identify some of our operating positions as 'ATNO Stations' that
will be specifically asking for ATNO contacts or new mode contacts during
the upcoming weekend (Heard Island time). Please only call these stations
if a QSO with Heard Island gives you an All-Time New One or a new mode.
Watch the message box in DXA (http://dxa.vk0ek.org/) for instructions and
information. We will post information regularly on bands/modes where the
ATNO stations are operating.
- Weather-permitting, we will extend our stay, with the final day of radio
operation being 11 April and departure on the 12th".
VK0EK started activity on 23 March, and at 12:34 UTC on 8 April Club Log
had 69,353 QSOs (SSB 14,912, CW 51,403 and RTTY 3,035) with 19,706 unique
callsigns (28,4%). The most productive band so far has been 15m (12,406
QSOs), followed by 40m (10,818 QSOs) and 30m (10,126 QSOs).

Their dismantlement plan will have to "match with the necessary high tide.
Depending on the high wind these days this might make things difficult for
loading/unloading things with the zodiac". During the weekend they will
concentrate on the more productive bands/modes, in order "to give all a
last opportunity for an All Time New One".
FT4JA started activity on 30 March, and at 18:26 UTC on 7 April Club Log
had 83,495 QSOs (CW 38,596, SSB 38,352 and RTTY 6,547) with 21,421 unique
callsigns (25,7%). The most productive band so far has been 15m (20,933
QSOs), followed by 12m (12,773 QSOs) and 17m (12,367 QSOs).
INTERNATIONAL MARCONI DAY ---> Organized by the Cornish Radio Amateur Club,
the International Marconi Day (IMD) is a 24-hour amateur radio event held
annually to celebrate the birth of Guglielmo Marconi (25 April 1874). It is
not a contest, but an opportunity for amateurs around the world to make
contacts with historic Marconi sites using HF communications techniques.
This year's event will be held on 23 April, from 00.00 UTC through 23.59
UTC. Details, including information on the relevant Award Certificates and
the listing of participating stations, can be found at http://gx4crc.com/.
QSL 3XY5M ---> Cards are being handled by Michael, PA5M himself. Those who
requested their cards through Club Log's OQRS or direct by mail and have
not received their QSLs are invited to email Michael (pa5m@chello.nl). [TNX

QSL 9J2BO ---> "Due to the difficulty at present of contacting 9J2BO", Mike
G3TEV reports, "I will only accept cards direct and will not accept bureau
cards until futher notice". As UK postal rates have increased [425DXN
1296], the basic rate of GBP 1.05 for standard airmail letters is "enough
for about 5 cards to Europe or a maximum of 2 cards for the rest of the
world". QSL to M.J. Mills, 3 Tylers Way, Chalford Hill, Stroud, GL6 8ND,
United Kingdom. [TNX G3TEV]
VK0EK ---> "We are approaching our last weekend on Heard Island", the Radio
Team Leader reported on 7 April. "One of our objectives is to give an
All-Time New One (ATNO) to as many DXers as possible (we all like
band-fills but they don't give the same thrill as a first contact with an
entity). To support this goal, we will be taking the following measures:
- We will identify some of our operating positions as 'ATNO Stations' that
will be specifically asking for ATNO contacts or new mode contacts during
the upcoming weekend (Heard Island time). Please only call these stations
if a QSO with Heard Island gives you an All-Time New One or a new mode.
Watch the message box in DXA (http://dxa.vk0ek.org/) for instructions and
information. We will post information regularly on bands/modes where the
ATNO stations are operating.
- Weather-permitting, we will extend our stay, with the final day of radio
operation being 11 April and departure on the 12th".
VK0EK started activity on 23 March, and at 12:34 UTC on 8 April Club Log
had 69,353 QSOs (SSB 14,912, CW 51,403 and RTTY 3,035) with 19,706 unique
callsigns (28,4%). The most productive band so far has been 15m (12,406
QSOs), followed by 40m (10,818 QSOs) and 30m (10,126 QSOs).
