425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The October 2014 issue is now available for
download at www.425dxn.org/monthly/index.html. [TNX IZ3EBA]
BOUVET 2015-16 ---> UN7PCZ has announced plans for him and other eleven
operators to be active as 3Y0F (licence issued on 7 November by the
Norwegian Post and Telecommunications Authority) from Bouvet Island for two
weeks between December 2015 and January 2016. See www.qrz.com/db/3Y0F.
FT4TA ---> The team went QRT from Tromelin Island on 01:27 UTC on 10
November. Club Log shows a grand total of 71,463 QSOs with 18,410 (25,8%)
unique calls. Breakdowns by Band/Mode and by Continent, as well as other
statistics, can be found at https://secure.clublog.org/charts/?c=FT4TA#r;
the OQRS is up and running. "We are still amazed by the huge pileups.
Despite all team members having already experience from other most wanted
entities, none of us had ever had to face such an incredible demand", F5UFX
wrote in his final update on 12 November. "Our objectives were clearly
announced and supported by the community and we believe we had achieve most
of them. In addition, we were happy to surprise most of you by providing
immediate LoTW confirmation during our activity". Read the entire release
("We Made It!") on www.tromelin2014.com.
INDEXA NEWSLETTER ---> The Fall Issue of the International DX Association's
(INDEXA) Newsletter is available for download. This issue (#107) reports on
the DXpedition to Lakshadweep Islands (VU7AG) in late 2013 by Krish (W4VKU)
and his team mates: www.indexa.org/newsletters.html. [TNX W3OA]
IOTA NEWS: QSLING VIA YB9BU ---> "IOTA Management has received a number of
complaints that QSL card requests sent to Kadek, YB9BU in accordance with
his QSLing instructions on QRZ.com have not received a reply and similarly
that email enquiries are not being answered. Emails from the IOTA Manager
and mutual friends have also gone unanswered. In the circumstances it can
only be assumed that there is an interruption in the QSL manager service
for all the many operations for which YB9BU acts as QSL manager and people
would be well advised not to send further cards. We would also advise YB
island operators for whom YB9BU acts or normally acts as manager to make
other arrangements to ensure satisfactory QSLing. Acceptance by IOTA
Management of further IOTA operations by YB9BU must be regarded as on hold
until and unless the matter is resolved". [G3KMA, 11 November 2014]
VK9DLX & VK9LM ---> VK9DLX finally went QRT on 9 November. "The QSO counter
for VK9DLX shows over 116,500 QSOs, combined with over 11,500 QSOs in the
CQWW SSB Contest as VK9LM, we end up with over 128,000 QSOs in our logs",
the team said on 12 November. "More detailed statistics for both callsigns
when we merge and clean the logs and upload them to Clublog. We know that
still some VK9DLX QSOs are missing in Clublog right now". The OQRS is
online to apply for either VK9DLX and VK9LM cards (direct an bureau): it
can be accessed on http://oqrs.lagunaria-dx-group.org.
