>>> IOTA NEWS: UNACTIVATED GROUPS NUMBERED <<<
Provisional reference numbers have been issued to almost all currently
unnumbered IOTA groups with qualifying islands. The advantage of this is that
in future DXpeditioners to a previously unactivated group will know the new
reference number before setting off. Offsetting this is the slight
disadvantage that, as new numbers will not be issued and confirmed in
sequence, tracking them will be a little more difficult. However the IOTA
websites will have the information. The procedures for validation of
operations from the rarest IOTA groups and groups where special permission is
required will continue. For details see the listing under "New IOTA Reference
Numbers" on the IOTA Manager's website (http://www.g3kma.dsl.pipex.com).
Why the change? It will help DXpeditioners who will now be able to give the
new number on air as soon as they start the operation. It will also simplify
things considerably for IOTA management. Almost all remaining unnumbered
groups are hard to activate, either for "political" reasons - licensing
difficulties or nature conservation restrictions - or the practical hurdles
of access and cost. Few can be put on the air at little or no notice, so the
chances of someone unfamiliar with IOTA requirements on validation firing up
from a new island group without any prior contact with IOTA HQ or without
warning are not as high now as once they were when procedures were less
well-known. [TNX G3KMA]
>>> IOTA NEWS: NEW IOTA GROUP <<<
The IOTA Committee is committed to reviewing the island list every five
years. The last such occasion was scheduled for 2005 but in the event the
Committee decided against a review then. It needed to complete work
implementing decisions taken following the major overhaul of the island list
in year 2000. With the next review not now scheduled until 2010 the IOTA
Committee has decided not to wait until then to correct an anomaly. Sebatik
Island in Borneo is a 'split sovereignty island', one half owned by Indonesia
(Kalimantan) and the other by East Malaysia (Sabah). Under paragraph E.5.7 of
the Programme Rules such islands each count for a separate IOTA group. The
Committee is rectifying this omission now and adding Sebatik Island as a new
group in the Oceania list (OC-295P). [TNX G3KMA]
MDXC CONVENTION ---> The 2nd Mediterraneo DX Club (MDXC) HF Convention will
take place on 16-17 September at Nola (Napoli), Italy. Full information can
be found at http://www.mdxc.org/meeting.asp
MONTENEGRO ---> On 22 June the UN Security Council decided to recommend to
the General Assembly that the Republic of Montenegro be admitted as a Member
of the United Nations. The Assembly is expected to act on the matter next
Wednesday (28 June) - keep an eye on the UN News Centre
(http://www.un.org/News/).
In their latest press release, the organizers of the "DX Festival Montenegro
2006" [425DXN 787] say that the all-band all-mode DXpedition to the newest
DXCC Entity is now expected to take place from 20 July to 12 August. Bookmark
http://www.yu6scg.cg.yu/international-dx-festival-montenegro-2006/ for
updates.
NOT THE MANAGER ---> Antonello, IK2DUW says is still receiving cards for
UA0FZ he is not able to to reply to. He was the QSL manager only for the year
2000 through January 2001; the current QSL route is via W3HNK.
QSL CE0Z ---> Jean-Michel, F6AJA (the European QSL manager for CE0Z) reports
that he has received the CE0Z cards from the printer and has mailed all
direct European QSLs. He is still waiting for the CE9/F2JD to arrive from the
printer.
QSL J6/G3XAQ ---> Phil Whitchurch, G3SWH has recently acquired a copy of the
log for the 2002 and 2004 operations of J6/G3XAQ. QSL cards are available
either direct or through the bureau (e-mail requests for bureau cards are all
right). Phil hopes to be able to upload the log to LoTW at some stage in the
future. [TNX G3SWH]
QSL VIA K7ZD ---> Effective 18 June, Gary/K7ZD no longer manages any
activities by Tony, W4OI (HK1AR). Please send your requests to Tony himself.
Gary is still the QSL manager for HK1AR for contacts made before 9 February
2006, as well as well as for 5K5Z and HK0/HK1AR. Cards for contacts made with
HK1AR on 10-21 February 2006 go to Girts, YL2KL (who was the guest operator).
