4U20B ---> Tom, 9A2AA (who is using special callsign 9A88AA until the end
of the year) reports that the licence for 4U20B has been renewed until 31
December. This special callsign is being used by Ivo, 9A3A from the UN
Global Service Center in Brindisi, Italy. QSL via 9A2AA, direct or bureau.
CHILTERN DX CLUB ---> At the Chiltern DX Club 2015 AGM and Summer Social,
Neville Cheadle (G3NUG) stood down as President and was made an Honorary
Life Member for his outstanding contributions to the Club over the 22 years
he has served as a Committee member. Neville has been the President for the
past 14 years, after joining the Committee in 1993 and becoming Chairman in
1994. He was inducted into the CQ DX Hall of Fame in 2009 and is also the
President of the Five Star DXers Association. The 2015-16 Committee Members
are Don Field G3XTT (President), Chris Duckling G3SVL (Chairman), Tony
Bettley G4LDL (Secretary), Gordon Rolland G3USR (Treasurer), Mark Marsden
G4AXX and Ian McCathy G3YBY. The Chiltern DX Club (www.cdxc.org) is one of
the largest and most respected DX groups in the world; now it has over 960
members of whom around 20% are outside of the UK. [TNX G3SVL]
VP8SGI & VP8STI ---> While their plans continue "moving forward very well",
the Intrepid DX Group announced on 31 July that Dmitri, RA9USU has been
added to the team and that all of the equipment has been shipped to New
Zeland: "our container contents will be loaded aboard the RV Braveheart and
will meet us in the Falkland Islands in January". When the team's voyage
starts, it will be possible to follow their itinerary in real time on a map
on their website. They will be QRV as VP8IDX/mm on the way to and from the
islands. The team's goal is to conduct two 8-10 day DXpeditions to South
Georgia (VP8SGI) and the South Sandwich Islands (VP8STI). There is still a
"significant deficit of $97,000" and the team needs the support of the
worldwide DX Community to help them make this project a success: "we
encourage you to visit our website (www.intrepid-dx.com/vp8) and donate via
the PayPal link".
YASME EXCELLENCE AWARDS ---> In 2008 The Yasme Foundation (www.yasme.org)
established the Yasme Excellence Awards, to be presented 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 5 August, are:
- Mike Mertel, K7IR, for his revolutionary invention of a tunable Yagi
antenna that was later made available to the amateur radio community under
the brand name SteppIR.
- Koos Fockens, PA0KDF, for his investigations, measurements and
publications regarding noise in the amateur radio bands that played a key
role in the global fight against Broadband Over Power Line (BPL)
interference.
- James Ying, N2IW, for his creation of an on-line scheduling application
that was used by many W1AW/portable operations during the 2014 ARRL
Centennial and remains available without charge. [TNX W6SZN]
