IOTA 50TH ANNIVERSARY MARATHON ---> The 50th Anniversary Marathon starts on
1 January 2012 [425DXN 1042]. For a two-year period (from 00.00 UTC 1
January 2012 until 23.59 UTC 31 December 2013), IOTA chasers are encouraged
to contact as many different IOTA groups as possible, and IOTA activators
to play their part by operating from as many groups as possible, with
special emphasis on the less-frequently activated ones. As participants
will need the island name, not just the IOTA reference number, for the
island station worked, those who post spots on the clusters are encouraged
to include the island name in their postings where there is more than one
IOTA group possibility. Full details of the Marathon are available on
www.rsgbiota.org.
NOT THE MANAGER ---> Al, VE1AL has received two cards for contacts made
with 3V8S during the CQ WW DX CW Contest 2009. "I am not and never have
been the QSL manager for this operation", Al says, and adds: "also, I still
receive cards for ZK2DD and VA1S. I have the logs for the ZK2DD operation
for only July 1979. If the call was re-issued, I cannot help. The VA1S logs
are no longer available. I won't return the QSLs to the senders because of
new, onerous, charges by RAC for membership and use of its outgoing bureau".
ON5NT ---> Ghis reports that as of 20 December his new mailing address is:
Ghis Penny, P.O.Box 6, 9700 Oudenaarde, Belgium (mail sent to his old POB
93 will be forwarded). The operations Ghis is the QSL manager for are
listed on qrz.com
+ SILENT KEYS + Recently reported Silent Keys include Walter Schreuer
(K1YZW), Pat Parrish (K4YR), Michael W. Smith (N8GUZ), Aleksandr V. Rybak
(UT0UA), Larry Amodeo (W2AX) and Zoran Levkov (Z30V).
