ARCTIC LEGEND ---> A major IOTA DXpedition is being planned to take in
February-March 2017 to commemorate the 120th anniversary of Fridtjof
Nansen's legendary expedition to the Arctic Ocean on the ship "Fram". The
team is expected to include five operators (UA9KDF, UA9KFX, UA9LDD, UA0BA
and RW0BG) who - depending on weather and ice conditions - will be active
as RT9K/9 from the Firnley Islands (Ostrova Firnleya, AS-054), Tyrtov
Island (Ostrov Tyrtova, AS-121), Nansen Island (Ostrov Nansena, AS-104) and
the Scott Hansen Islands (Ostrova Skott-Gansena, AS-068). Activity will be
on 40-10 metres CW, SSB and digital modes (PSK, APRS and Pactor) with three
stations. QSL via RX9KM. Bookmark www.qrz.com/db/RT9K/9 for further
information and updates.
BOUVET ISLAND ACTIVATION ---> Three proven and experienced DXpedition
leaders (Ralph K0IR, Bob K4UEE and Erling LA6VM) and a large team of
operators will activate Bouvet Island in late 2017 or early 2018. They are
making this announcement now, "so that other DXpedition teams that may be
considering Bouvet as a DXpedition target can re-direct their time and
effort elsewhere". They already have an agreement with Nigel Jolly for the
"Braveheart" to provide transportation (helicopter included); the Norwegian
Polar Institute has accepted their preliminary plan and a permit will be
issued to land on Slakhallet, the huge glacier that covers the island. "As
per our funding model, we commit to paying one-half the expenses involved
and we are asking the DX community to pay the other half of the expenses".
A website is under construction and fundraising will begin in the months
ahead. [TNX K4UEE]
DAYTON PHOTO GALLERY ---> The Dayton Hamvention 2016 Photo Gallery (443
pictures) can be found at http://hamgallery.com/dayton2016/. The Dayton
Photo Galleries start in 1997 and contain a total of 4902 photos. They are
all searchable from the HamGallery homepage. Other Dayton photos are
welcome, past and present, but must follow instructions on the Dayton 2016
page. [TNX K8CX]
EM5F ---> This was the callsign used by UR5FAV, UR5FLF, UT7UT and UX0FF on
6-7 June, during their activity from the Ukrainian side of Fericirii
(EU-191), a split-sovereignity island that was added to the IOTA List two
years ago. They experienced very bad weather, and were able to log about
2,000 QSOs in 14 hours before giving up. QSL via UX0FF, direct o bureau.
[TNX UY5XE]

Big Sight in Ariake, Tokyo on 20 August. Presentations will include

information and updates.
BOUVET ISLAND ACTIVATION ---> Three proven and experienced DXpedition
leaders (Ralph K0IR, Bob K4UEE and Erling LA6VM) and a large team of
operators will activate Bouvet Island in late 2017 or early 2018. They are
making this announcement now, "so that other DXpedition teams that may be
considering Bouvet as a DXpedition target can re-direct their time and
effort elsewhere". They already have an agreement with Nigel Jolly for the
"Braveheart" to provide transportation (helicopter included); the Norwegian
Polar Institute has accepted their preliminary plan and a permit will be
issued to land on Slakhallet, the huge glacier that covers the island. "As
per our funding model, we commit to paying one-half the expenses involved
and we are asking the DX community to pay the other half of the expenses".
A website is under construction and fundraising will begin in the months
ahead. [TNX K4UEE]
DAYTON PHOTO GALLERY ---> The Dayton Hamvention 2016 Photo Gallery (443
pictures) can be found at http://hamgallery.com/dayton2016/. The Dayton
Photo Galleries start in 1997 and contain a total of 4902 photos. They are
all searchable from the HamGallery homepage. Other Dayton photos are
welcome, past and present, but must follow instructions on the Dayton 2016
page. [TNX K8CX]
EM5F ---> This was the callsign used by UR5FAV, UR5FLF, UT7UT and UX0FF on
6-7 June, during their activity from the Ukrainian side of Fericirii
(EU-191), a split-sovereignity island that was added to the IOTA List two
years ago. They experienced very bad weather, and were able to log about
2,000 QSOs in 14 hours before giving up. QSL via UX0FF, direct o bureau.
