HB0 JUBILEE CERTIFICATE ---> Amateurfunk Verein Liechtenstein (AFVL, the IARU
society for HB0) sponsors a Jubilee Certificate for contacts made with their
club station (HB0FL) and AFVL members from 1 January 2006 through 31 December
2007. The certificate commemorates the 200th anniversary of the sovereignty
of the Principality of Liechtenstein, as well as the 20th anniversary of
AFVL. The certificate is available to either licenced amateurs and SWLs, full
information can be found at http://www.afvl.li/ [TNX HB0TW]
QSL VIA CT1GFK ---> Toze reports that all of the direct requests for CU8F and
CU8T have been processed and mailed out. Toze is the QSL manager also for
CQ1A, CQ1C, CQ4I, CT1A, CT7A, CS0RCL (EU-167 and EU-145), CU4M and CU4T.
VP6UU ---> Larry, N0UU [425DXN 805] operated from Pitcairn (OC-044) on 22
October (341 QSOs), Henderson Island (OC-056) on the 23rd (74 QSOs) and Ducie
Island (OC-182) on the 24th (89 QSOs). QSL via home call. [TNX The Daily DX]
ZL8R ---> The Microlite Penguins Dxpedition to Raoul Island in the Kermadecs
went QRT at 22 UTC on 17 October after 40,000+ QSOs (26053 CW, 12999 SSB and
1378 RTTY, plus five 6m EME contacts). The operators were EI6FR, HB9ASZ,
K9ZO, N0TT, N6MZ, VK6DXI, W7EW and 9V1YC and the total on-air operating time
was just over 7 days. Transceivers consisted of six, brand new Icom IC-7000s
kindly sponsored by Icom America and antennas were all simple wire dipoles
strung up in the surrounding pine trees. The band/mode breakdowns are as
follows:
Band CW SSB RTTY Total
------------------------------------------
1.8 643 - - 643
3.5 2488 551 - 3039
7 4702 1450 - 6152
10 4707 - 454 5161
14 4571 4222 - 8793
18 3531 1541 353 5425
21 3659 3659 571 7889
24 1148 1012 - 2160
28 604 564 - 1168
The continental percentages are North America 39%, Asia 30%, Europe 26%,
Oceania 3%, South America 1%, Africa 1%. Almost all of the expenses for this
trip were paid by the team members themselves. But given the extraordinary
expense it takes to charter a ship to a remote island in the Pacific for two
weeks, they say, "we hope that each and every DXer will help contribute to
this endeavor, either by donations with your QSL cards to our manager VE3XN,
or by joining the Northern California DX Foundation".
