Please please read and follow the basic guidelines on the website (http://hk0na.com/) and do not contact the pilots prior to the beginning of the DXpedition, which should be on the afternoon of 21 January if all goes well.

CUBA ---> Cuban radio amateur service regulations have been modified to permit access to the 80 and 40m bands to the third class operator licensees, holders of CL prefixed callsigns. They are allowed to operate on 3550-3750 kHz and 7100-7125 kHz, running a maximum of 10 watts on CW and phone. [TNX CO8ZZ]
DX DINNER ---> The Southwest Ohio DX Association (SWODXA) is pleased to again sponsor the DX Dinner, to be held in conjunction with the 2012 Dayton Hamvention on Friday, 18 May at the Dayton Marriott Hotel. Details can be found at www.swodxa.org [TNX W8GEX]
MALYJ VYSOTSKIJ TO BE DELETED ---> Back in 2010 a new agreement on the lease of the Russian part of the Saimaa Canal zone to Finland was signed by the Prime Ministers of the Republic of Finland and the Russian Federation. The exchange of the instruments of ratification finally took place on 17 January, and the the new agreement will come into force one month later. The new lease no longer includes Malyj Vysotskij Island, which therefore no longer satisfies the criteria under under which it was added to the DXCC List. "It's unlikely that any DX pedition will come on from the island before the deletion", OH2BU says.
QSL VIA RU3SD ---> The late Vladimir Ulyanov, UA5DX (ex UA3FDX) was the QSL manager for quite a number of stations. The following have been taken over by RU3SD: 4J0AUM, 4J0DX, 4J0DX, 4J1S, 4J56V, 4J57V, 4J60AA, 4K1AZI, 4K1V, 4K49V, 4K50V, 4K51V, 4K52V, 4K53V, 4K60AA, 4K6OF, 4K70DWZ, 4K7DWZ, 4K7Z, 4K80ADR, 4KP7Z, 9A/EW6MR, ES5FDX, EU5F, EU5ROPE, EU5RUB, EU6MM (for C.I.S), EU940OR, EV3DP, EV5V, EV5ZK, EV60BR, EV60GO, EV60OG (operator EW8ZZ), EV65ZK, EV6DX, EV6ZK, EV7DP, EV8DP, EV9P, EW6MR, EW8ZZ, RC1X, RC4L/UC2WAY, RW3SR, RW3SR/1, SO9DX, SV9/UA3FDX, T9/RW3SR, UA3FDX and UC2WAY. [TNX The Daily DX]
SABLE ISLAND ---> "We are in the process of rescheduling the operation", the CY0 team reported on 14 January. "The goal is to select a time after the winter weather conditions to increase the certainty next time of being able to travel to Sable Island without delay from a winter storm". They also plan "to recruit a CW operator, with DXpedition or contest experience, to 'round out' the team". The plan is for WA4DAN to operate 70% SSB and 30% CW, AA4VK to operate 100% SSB and the third team member to operate 70% CW and 30% SSB. Bookmark www.cy0dxpedition.com for updates.
VISALIA 2012 ---> The 63rd Annual International DX Convention, sponsored by the Southern California DX Club, will be held at The Holiday Inn and Conference Center in Visalia, California on 20-22 April. Online registration and further information can be found at www.dxconvention.org

He was QRV as 4W0VB from the main island of Timor (OC-148) between 11 January and 8 February, with a brief activity as 4W0VB/p from Atauro Island (OC-232). All of the QSOs have been uploaded to LoTW. QSLling instructions for paper cards can be found at www.qrz.com/db/4W0VB
HK0NA ---> Malpelo 2012 went QRT around 17 UTC on 5 February, after breaking the "tent and generator" DXpedition record set by VP6DX back in 2008 (183,686 QSOs). The preliminary QSO total for HK0NA is 192,089, but "we expect this number to rise a little as we sort things out". The OQRS at at www.hk0na.com has been turned on since 6 February; OQRS direct requests will be processed first, but the cards "won't be ready for some months". You can request your QSLs one of four ways: OQRS Direct, OQRS Bureau, via N2OO direct (Bob Schenck, P.O. Box 345, Tuckerton NJ 08087-0345, USA) or bureau. The HK0NA log is expected to be uploaded to LoTW "about 6 months after the conclusion of the DXpedition".
IOTA BASH ---> The eighth annual IOTA Bash will be held on 23-24 March in Boerne, Texas, about 20 miles northwest of San Antonio. The agenda will include presentations on some of the most recent IOTA expeditions and a nice social programme. Details and registration form are available on the IREF website (www.islandradio.org). [TNX AB5EB]
QSL 7Q7HB ---> "I have been the QSL manager for quite a few 7Q7 stations in the past 21 years", Allan G0IAS says. "With the death of Harry (7Q7HB) there is no one else active now in 7Q that I am the manager for. From 12 December 2012, the anniversary of the death of Harry, I will no longer send out any QSL cards, for any of the 7Q7 stations I manage. I think that if an operator does not send for a card, he does not need it". QSL direct only to Allan Hickman, The Conifers, High Street, Elkesley, Retford, DN22 8AJ, United Kingdom. The Malawi stations managed by G0IAS are 7Q7AH, 7Q7BW, 7Q7BX, 7Q7FM, 7Q7HB, 7Q7JL, 7Q7LA, 7Q7MH, 7Q7RL and 7Q7RM.

"Dr. Trifu exemplifies the Canadian Amateur with numerous IOTA DXpeditions since 2008 covering Canadian Islands and recently overseas islands. He has raised the profile of Canadian Amateur operations world-wide with thousands of QSOs with DXCCs covering over six continents".

7O6T ---> The expedition to Socotra Island, Yemen went QRT at 21 UTC on 15 May, as expected. In fifteen days 162,029 QSOs (72997 SSB, 80237 CW and 8795 RTTY) with 37,863 unique calls were made from three different locations. As part of the operating agreement, the expedition was limited to six radios and ten operators total. The planning began in February 2010, and "this trip came about as a result of focusing on being a good person and building meaningful relationships in the Republic of Yemen".
CQ 2012 HALL OF FAMERS ---> CQ Magazine announced on 18 May the 2012 Hall of Fame inductees. The CQ Amateur Radio Hall of Fame was established in January 2001 to recognize individuals - radio amateurs or not - who significantly affected the course of Amateur Radio, as well as radio amateurs who have made significant contributions either to amateur radio, to their professional careers or to some other aspect of life on our planet. This year's inductees are: George Badger (W6TC), Bill Brown (WB8ELK), Robert Brown (NM7M, SK), Evelyn Gauzens (W4WYR), Richard Garriott (W5WKQ), William W. Hansen (no call, SK), Richard Kirby (ex-W0LCT/HB9BOA, SK), Fred Maia (W5YI, SK), Steve Mendelsohn (W2ML), Larry Mulvehill (WB2ZPI), Rowley Shears (G8KW, SK), Mike Staal (K6MYC), Frederick Terman (ex-6FT, W6AE, W6XH, SK), Patrick Tice (WA0TDA), Louis Varney (G5RV, SK) and William A. Wilson (K6ARO, SK). The CQ Contest Hall of Fame (established in 1986) and the CQ DX Hall of Fame (established in 1967) honour those amateurs who not only excel in personal performance in these major areas of amateur radio, but who also "give back" to the hobby in outstanding ways. This year's inductees in the CQ Contest HoF are Jim Reisert (AD1C) and Lothar Wilke (DL3TD, SK). The 2012 inductees to the CQ DX HoF are Don Chesser (W4KVX, SK), Glenn Johnson (W0GJ) and Carl Smith (N4AA).

"We will be active on all bands and all modes, implement a variety of innovative real-time communications technologies, and field a variety of scientific projects that are designed to observe and document some of the unique resources on this extraordinary island". The website for the 2014 DXpedition is at www.cordell.org/HD/. If interested in joining the expedition, please contact KK6EK at schmieder[@]cordell.org.

CY0/VE1AWW ---> Al, CY0/VE1AWW has been QRT from Sable Island since 28 May. "A migratory bird (and protected species) was found near my towers with injuries suggesting a collision with one of the towers", he says. "I am required to take down the towers until an investigation and policy can be developed for tern season (April-August)".
ST PAUL ISLAND 2012 ---> In their latest press release (25 May), the CY9M team reported that on 25 July they "will be making their way to Sydney, Nova Scotia, then onwards to the northernmost tip of Cape Breton, ready to depart for St Paul island on July 26th". A few of the team plan to be QRV as VE1/callsign from Cape Breton Island (NA-010) prior to CY9M. There are few landing spots on St Paul, and "actual station location will be determined where we land. From planning discussions, we know each proposed location has positives and negatives to certain regions around the globe - therefore this is very much an 'on the day' set-up at any given landing spot. Now the shipping process begins". Further information, including log search, OQRS and details on how contribute, can be found at www.cy9m.com

IDXC 2013 ---> Sponsored by the Northern California DX Club, the 64th Annual International DX Convention will be held at the Visalia Conference Center in downtown Visalia, California on 19-21 April 2013.

IOTA EU-155 ---> Back in October 2011 [425DXN 1069] the RSGB IOTA Manager reported that "following information received from a local operator in Italy that the only two islands listed as qualifying for EU-155, Baron and Scanno di Piallazza, no longer existed, we would not be accepting for credit any new operations claiming to take place from EU-155 pending a final check. This has now been carried out and it confirms the report. Under IOTA rules we have no option but to withdraw EU-155 from the list of valid IOTA groups and to amend scores down. However we have noted that the Po Delta is a remarkably fragile natural environment with a varying sedimentation rate influenced by river flow, tide and storm and have not ruled out the possibility of one of the islands reforming in time. In the circumstances, we have decided to remove EU-155 credit from all scores on 1 September 2012 but to retain the QSO information on the database in a non-counting format in case the situation should change.

DXCC NEWS ---> TL8ES (Central African Republic, 2011 operation) and TT8ES (Chad, 2012 operation have been approved for DXCC credit. [TNX NC1L]
HEARD ISLAND 2014 ---> The initial operators for the 2014 expedition to Heard Island (www.heardisland.org) include KK6EK, ON6TT, DL1MGB, N6MZ, DJ9ZB, NP4IW, AD6E, N4GRN, DJ5IW, N6PSE, W3WL, W0GJ and AA7XT. The next round of team members will be announced on 15 August.
IOTA EU-117 & EU-133 GROUPS ---> This is an abridged version of the official announcement dated 16 June that can be found on the RSGB IOTA's website. Following the decision by the ARRL to delete Malyy Vysotskiy Island (MVI) from the current DXCC list as of 17 February 2012, the IOTA Committee has considered action to be taken with regard to the future of EU-117. A consultation conducted by an enlarged IOTA management group produced a clear majority in favour of splitting EU-133 to form two groups within the Gulf of Finland, North and South. The dividing line has been set at 60
file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/425dxnews/425-2012/425ENG%20425%20DX%20News%20%231103.txt[29.12.2012 17:39:42] degrees, 15 minutes north. The islands now constituting the two groups can be seen via the Search facility on www.rsgbiota.org. The change has an effective date backdated to 17 February 2012. Past credits for MVI will continue to stand and new opportunities are created for contacting EU-117. Record-holders need take no action regarding existing credits as they will not be deleted as a consequence of this change, nor in the case of EU-133 credits need they be transferred unless requested.
OH10X/MM ---> Kristina Cruises Ltd with Radio Arcala, OH8X of Finland, are in the process of testing whether a permanent Amateur Radio station will suit the maritime environment and serve DXers in their leisure time, whether cruising in the Mediterranean or off West Africa or just doing island-hopping in the Caribbean. The onboard station will be active at the peak propagation hours to various continents on 14267 kHz on 20-24 June. The test cruise will take the ship to Estonia (ES), Gotland, Sweden (SM1), Aland Islands (OH0), and back to Finland. The objective for the first run is to look at potential interference issues both ways - from the Amateur Radio station to the ship's navigation system and from the ship's advanced PC networks to the reception of Amateur Radio transmissions.
YASME AWARDS ---> The Yasme Foundation has for many years offered two Yasme Awards, available at no cost to qualifying applicants. The first Yasme Award, in the form of a handsome plaque, is offered to those amateurs who submit proof of 30 QSOs with Yasme officials and DXpeditions that have at least one Yasme official as a participant. The second, the Yasme Supreme Award, is in the form of a representation of the YASME boat used by Danny Weil in his around-the-world DXpedition and is available to those who submit proof of 60 QSOs with Yasme officials and DXpeditions with a Yasme official as a participant. After a year-long evaluation of the rules for qualifying call signs, the Board of Directors is pleased to announce that the rules for qualifying call signs have been revised. As a result, many call signs have been added to the list. The revised list of call signs eligible for both awards is available at http://www.yasme.org/DXpeditions.html

CQ CONTESTS NEW DEADLINE ---> Participants in CQ-sponsored contests will now have five days after the end of a contest to either upload or mail their logs. "This is the first step in an effort to speed the processing and reporting of CQ contest results", CQ magazine Editor Rich Moseson (W2VU) explained, "and it is one more step in our ongoing efforts to help ensure the integrity of submitted logs. Shortening the deadline reduces the time available for those who might be tempted to 'cleanse' their logs after

However, "we realize that in some cases circumstances may not allow a timely submission", CQ WW Contest Director Bob Cox (K3EST) says. "Requests for an extension must be received before the log submission deadline by sending an e-mail to questions[at] cqww.com". The change takes effect with this year's CQ World Wide DX Contest and will apply to all future CQ-sponsored contests.

HEARD ISLAND 2014 ---> Updates of the team and the Project Description (version 4.3) are now available at www.heardisland.org. "You will see in the Project Description that we have developed a wide-ranging scientific program, including radio operations (the DXpedition), real-time communications, mountain science, biological science, atmospheric science, astronomical science, documentation, and educational outreach. We are proposing that the AAD collaborate on some of the research. We are interested in establishing a collaboration with any person or group that can fit into the research program (or extend it). The next NEWS update will be on 15 September. The next round of team members will be announced on 15 October, but if you are interested in joining the team (on the island or offsite), we invite you to contact us anytime."
PT0S & 6 METRES ---> The PT0S team will be making a special effort to put St. Peter and St. Paul Rocks on 6 metres during its 12-24 November operation. "We have experienced 50MHz operators", they say, "and will be taking high performance gear to effectively exploit openings. We'll operate on SSB and CW and an additional effort will be made for 6m EME, during the time when the moon is at the horizon". Please visit http://pt0s.com/ for further information.
QSL HK0NA ---> As of 8 August, all traditional direct requests received through 31 July (with appropriate return funds) and all OQRS direct requests received through 5 August have been processed and mailed - a grand total of 74,190 QSOs. "The QSL process has been temporarily 'paused' while we give all of our special QSL processors and handlers some time off", N2OO says. "We will re-start direct QSLing in early September, then start on the OQRS bureau requests soon after". The logs were uploaded to LoTW on 10 August, but some QSOs are missing. N2OO is aware of the problem and is workimg on this with ARRL.

CLUB LOG OQRS ---> "There has been an update to Club Log which may prove useful to international expedition teams (outside NA) who want to receive OQRS payments in their home currency", Michael G7VJR says. From 23 September 2012, Club Log OQRS has support for US Dollars (USD), GB Pounds (GBP), Euros (EUR), Australian Dollars (AUD) and Japanese Yen (JPY), thus removing the overheads for expeditions who use these currencies. "In future, when you request a card from Club Log, you might be asked to pay in one of the currencies above instead of dollars. Don't forget that PayPal will show you how much you're paying in your own currency before you send funds overseas".

Any future change in Kosovo's DXCC status will be announced by ARRL". [TNX NC1L]

PJ5J ---> The website for the upcoming PJ5J DXpedition (30 November-12 December) [425DXN 1123] can be found at http://www.ndxa.net/pj5j/.
PT0S ---> The DXpedition to St. Peter & St. Paul Rocks now runs three stations during the day and two during the night. The main challenges for the team are limited Internet access, a difficult physical environment and extremely limited space. For the time being the online logsearch now 12517 QSOs made until 0928 UTC on 15 November: not only do they have limited bandwidth, but also the satellite openings are very short and erratic. This causes severe delays in updates: "please bear with us", they say, "and do not 'over-dupe' us".

PT0S ---> The team was aiming to remain QRV for the CQWW contest, but they were not permitted to stay during the weekend and PT0S went QRT at 10.30 UTC on 23 November. "Most of our plans went out the window the day we landed", the team reported on the 20th. "We had to improvise because things have changed since our July survey trip. We ended up with a totally different basing, antenna and operating plan". Read about the trials and

Log updates were very difficult to send. The latest, but not final update on Club Log (22 November at 08.45 UTC) includes 40922 QSOs (23649 CW, 15676 SSB, 1597 RTTY) with 13116 unique calls. Logs are sent to LoTW at the same time as they go to the online logsearch, but there is several days of delay at ARRL processing the files. The OQRS for both direct and bureau cards is now up and running on the DXpedition's website.
QSL 4L1AN ---> As of 21 November, Buzz NI5DX, is the QSL manager for Joni 4L1AN. They will work on designing a card and getting it printed. This may take up to 6 weeks. NI5DX will not be able to answer any card requests prior to 21 November 2012. [TNX The Golist]
QSL ZL2HAM ---> Effective immediately, Buzz NI5DX, is the QSL manager for Rick ZL2HAM (including his contest callsigns ZL1G and ZM1G).Rick has forwarded his past logs, so Buzz will be able to answer any request for a card. The QSL cards should be available to send out in about a month. [TNX The Golist]
V26B ---> Team Antigua is saddened to announce that the V26B contest station was totally destroyed by fire on 18 November. Luckily, no one was seriously hurt. The station Owner, Roy V21N, received minor injuries due to smoke inhalation but is OK now. As of now, the future of the station is uncertain. It may be possible to rebuild it, as the antennas and towers were not damaged. However the interior and all equipment, tools and spare parts were totally destroyed. Pictures of the fire can be found at http://n3oc.dyndns.org/v26b/ Also, Mike KA2AEV (QSL manager for V26B) reports that he has not "yet begun to answer any QSL requests that I have received". He does not anticipate being able to do so for "maybe another two weeks" because of his current work commitments ("Hurricane Sandy hit my area hard", he says, and "I work for the local Power Company").
VP8SGK ---> Mike, GM0HCQ (VP8CMH/mm) was able to operate as VP8SGK from King Edward Point, South Georgia on 20 November, from about 17.30 UTC until about 19 UTC. He was QRV on 10, 17 and 20 metres SSB. QSL direct to GM0HCQ (Mike Gloistein, 27 Stormont Way, Scone, Perthshire PH2 6SP, United Kingdom).
+ SILENT KEYS + Rod Newkirk, W9BRD/VA3ZBB passed away on 19 November. + The editor of QST Magazine's "How's DX?" column from 1947 to 1978, he was inducted into both the CQ DX Hall of Fame (1984) and the CQ Hall of Fame (2002). He was credited with coining the term "Elmer" (meaning someone who provides personal guidance and assistance to would-be hams) back in 1971. [TNX ARRL]

ARRL 10 METER CONTEST ---> Object of the contest is for amateurs around the world to work as many stations as possible on the 10m band. This year's event will be held on 8-9 December. Complete details can be found at http://www.arrl.org/10-meter
PT0S ---> "The logs of the last 20 hours of operation were uploaded", the team reported on 27 November. "Please note that these logs do not contain corrections. We will deal with the correction requests during the next two weeks and upload a final and corrected log around 10 December. (Probably not so final, as correction requests are likely to be coming in for a while.)"
QSL NH8S ---> "Our QSL manager (Joe, AA4NN) has processed all QSL requests from OQRS and direct mail. Envelopes and QSO labels are prepared for the QSL cards. The cards were shipped from Italy and we await their arrival. As soon as they arrive, all cards will be mailed. LOTW confirmations have been uploaded for those that have donated more than $10 to the DXpedition. Remaining QSOs will be uploaded in batches starting December 1st". [TNX W8GEX]

The sailing vessel "Evohe" with the ZL9HR team departed Bluff, on the southern coast of New Zealand's South Island, on the 26th around noon local time. However, bad weather forced the team to shelter in the lee of Stewart Island and wait for conditions to improve. They expected to leave for Campbell Island on 29 November in the morning and hopefully to reach their destination on 1 December. MM0NDX, the EU Pilot station, reports that they will not be able to extend their stay on the island beyond 9 December. Keep an eye on http://dx-world.net/

The new fees will be applied automatically through the charging module to all applications received on or after 1 January.

BEST PRACTICES FOR DXPEDITION OPERATING ---> "We believe that much of the chaos on the bands during DXpeditions is caused by the operating tactics of the DXpedition operator - this leads to poor operating by DX-Chasers, and therefore to chaos. At a meeting of RSGB, CDXC and GM-DX on October 13th we agreed to strengthen the 'DX Code of Conduct' and to prioritise the DXpedition side. This has now been completed, thanks to Wayne N7NG and 'DX University', and has been renamed 'Best Practices for DXpedition Operating'. Please go to www.dxuniversity.com click on DXpeditioning Tools, then Basic Practices. Each of the 13 points is hyper-linked to some explanatory text. We would hope that DX organisations will adopt it as a condition of funding. This would hopefully spread to become the normal requirement for all DXpedition funding: DXpeditions would not only 'support' it, but would also implement it on-air. In this way we expect that chaos on DX bands can be reduced somewhat whenever a DXpedition is under way". [TNX G3SXW]
IARU NEWS ---> Two new member-societies have joined IARU. On 1 November 2012 voting was completed on the admission of Federation of Radio Sport of Azerbaijan (Proposal No. 247) and St. Vincent & Grenadines Amateur Radio Club (Proposal No. 248) to IARU membership. With 53 affirmative votes required for approval there were 60 votes in favor of Proposal No. 247 and 61 votes in favor of Proposal No. 248. Accordingly, both proposals were adopted.
QSL CY0AA 1996 ---> All of the 15,000+ QSOs made by CY0AA (Sable Island) back in June-July 1996 have been uploaded to LoTW. Should you still need a paper QSL, send your request direct only to W8RHM. No further bureau cards will be processed. [TNX OPDX Bulletin]
QSL PS0F ---> Renner, PY7RP was active as PS0F from Fernando de Noronha on 6-10 December, and the QSL route for this operation is via WD9DZV. PS0F was also the callsign used by Jim, K9PPY and Bill, W9VA back in March 2009, and the QSL route for that operation is still via W9VA.
THE CDXC DX ARCHIVE ---> This project was born out of a proposal, made by Alan, 5B4AHJ/G3PMR to the Chiltern DX Club Committee in early 2011. In his research work for Club Log's callsign database, Alan recognised that there
file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/425dxnews/425-2012/425ENG%20425%20DX%20News%20%231128.txt[29.12.2012 17:40:00] are many DX documents that exist only in paper format, and are thus inaccessible to the majority of interested persons. Alan proposed that CDXC should set up a DX Archive project, whereby DX documents would be digitised and made freely accessible to all, in a searchable format, via the CDXC web site. The initial phase of this project involved the acquisition and scanning of as many issues of Geoff Watts' (later RSGB's) "DX News Sheet" and "RSGB DX News Magazine" as possible. This phase of the project, undertaken entirely by volunteers, is now live and accessible via the CDXC website. Go to http://www.cdxc.org.uk/ and click on "The CDXC DX Archive".
V26B ---> Team Antigua has set up a Restoration Fund and is accepting any donations (PayPal at http://team-antigua.com) to help rebuild the shack that was destroyed by fire on 18 November [425DXN 1125]. "We have temporarily moved the station to another smaller building in the property", they say, "and hope to return to the main shack if we can come up with enough money to do so". 100% of any donations will be used towards replacement of damaged equipment or repairing the fire damage. The fund will be administered by N3OC, WT3Q, N3BNA and AA3B.
YASME EXCELLENCE AWARDS ---> In 2008 The Yasme Foundation (www.yasme.org) established the Yasme Excellence Awards, to be awarded "to individuals who through their own service, creativity, effort and dedication have made a significant contribution to amateur radio. The contribution may be in recognition of technical, operating or organizational achievement as all three are necessary for amateur radio to grow and prosper". The latest recipients, announced on 7 December, are: - George Fremin (K5TR), Tree Tyree (N6TR), Trey Garlough (N5KO) and Scott Neader (KA9FOX) for their contributions to many infrastructure projects that benefit the ham community at large. - Mark Spencer (WA8SME), for his instrumental work in the ARRL Teachers Institute and other training efforts, development of PIC microcontroller projects and books for amateurs, and work with leaders in student and scientific teams applying amateur radio to scientific projects and experiments. - Champ Muangamphun (E21EIC) and Pornchai Semjang (HS2JFW), for leadership in the Thai amateur community, especially during the recent flooding which helped open the door to the new Thai HF licensing and enhanced the stature of amateur radio with the Thai government. - Tomas Hood (NW7US) and Carl Luetzelschwab (K9LA), for sustained education of the amateur community regarding propagation, solar and geomagnetic physics. - David Freese (W1HKJ), for creating and maintaining the freeware software package FLDIGI, probably the most widely used digital communication software in ham radio and a frequent gateway for new hams who are more familiar with computer-based communications. - Dean Straw (N6BV), for his contributions to amateur antenna system design and the development of software tools such as HFTA to optimize system design. - Peter Martinez (G3PLX) and Pawel Jalocha (SP9VRC), for the development of PSK31, a widely used digital mode entirely invented by amateurs that is enabling many amateurs to successfully use HF with very modest stations. - Arie Kleingeld (PA3A), Ad Van Ginneken (PA8AD) and Arie Noordzij (PA3AN), for their sustained contributions to the Mercy Ships Project. The YASME Board of Directors also announced supporting grants to WRTC 2014, the World Wide Radio Operators Foundation, Club Log, the NCDXF Beacon Project, Yasme Scholarships (administered by ARRL) and the Amateur Radio Association of Kosovo (SHRAK).

DXPEDITION OF THE YEAR POLL ---> The DX World.net 2012 DXpedition of the Year poll is now open at http://dx-world.net/. "This was an incredibly difficult poll to decide on considering so many notable expeditions took place during the last 12 months. It's conceivable that up to 40 different DXpeditons could have been nominated, however, a short-list of 26 made the poll. In previous years the poll was limited to three or five votes. This year we have decided to allow 'free' votes on as many DXpeditions you wish to select. In addition, to prevent repeat votes, an account must be created using your callsign and QRZ.com listed email address. Once created you will receive an email then you are ready to vote". The poll closes on 15 January 2013 - cast your votes! [TNX MM0NDX and IK8LOV]
