MY DX SUMMIT LAUNCHED ---> The newfangled My DX Summit (MDXS) [425DXN 1226]
opened for public on 21 November at 10.00 UTC. MDXS introduces a fresh
lineup of features with a handy propagation tool: predicted propagation is
based on your personal location, and by clicking a DX spot you will see the
current conditions and a 24-hour window covering all bands from your
station, short and long path, to a distant DX location. This recent
face-lift makes several new functions readily available, assuring a
pleasant user experience. Mobile users are also extensively supported which
makes MDXS the first-ever mobile-ready DX Cluster. Join the launch
festivities by sending a maximum number of spots during the first 14 days;
three (3) winners will be visited by Santa Claus bringing his certificate
from the OHo-Ho-Ho land of Radio Arcala, OH8X. My DX Summit has
automatically replaced the old DX Summit at www.dxsummit.fi. [TNX OH2BN]
PALMYRA ATOLL 2016 ---> Working with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, The
Nature Conservancy (TNC) has "developed a plan to accommodate" amateur
radio DXpeditions to Palmyra Atoll (KH5), and is able "to offer a maximum
of two such trips in Winter 2016". The available spots are 11-26 January
and 1-16 February; participants are limited to 12 operators with "up to six
radio antennae of 50 feet and 5 inch in diameter or less". The deadline for
completed applications is 16 January 2015; notification of acceptance will
be on 30 January 2015 and non-refundable deposit of $5,000 for each
participant of accepted applicants will be due by 27 February 2015. Total
estimated cost for each trip is USD 176,000. [TNX QRZ DX]

on Club Log and the first batch of QSOs has been uploaded. "Don't worry if
your latest QSOs don't show up immediately", the team reported on 19
November, because "due to unreliable internet connectivity, logs have be
sent on a ferry each day from Neil Island to Port Blair and at times may
take a day or two to be uploaded. Please make your insurance QSO only if
you think the QSO was bad". The email address for log checks is
vu4kv_log[@]yahoo.com, but be advised that they "will look at these emails
only after the expedition is finished and the team has got back home". QSL
