P5/3Z9DX ---> "Dom informs that the previously announced plans for a
January or February operation from P5 have been modified", DX-World.net
reported on 31 December. "A new location and project will likely now happen
at the end of summer 2016. This new location is noise free (something he
did not have during his recent demonstration)".
POSTAL RATES (DENMARK) ---> Effective 1 January 2016 Post Danmark
(www.postdanmark.dk) has implemented another postage rate increase. The
rate for letters up to 100 grams to European destinations is DKK 25
(Priority) or 16 (Economy), and to the rest of the world is DKK 30
(Priority) or 19 (Economy). Three US dollars cover only the Economy rates.
[TNX OZ1ACB]
QSL BY5YAA (AS-138) ---> Anyone needing a QSL card for Pingtan Island
(AS-138), activated by BY5YAA on on 26-27 July 2014 (IOTA Contest), can now
do so via M0OXO. Cards can be requested direct or (preferably) through the
OQRS at www.m0oxo.com. Full colour cards will be available in the next few
weeks. Please note the specific date of the operation, as QSOs made with
BY5YAA outside the IOTA Contest will not be valid for AS-138; email Charles
(charles.wilmott[@]m0oxo.com) for log checks or any question. [TNX M0OXO]
VP8STI & VP8SGI ---> The R/V "Braveheart" has arrived in Stanley (Falkland
Islands) and is making preparations for her 36-day voyage with the
VP8STI/VP8SGI team. After camping in tents on Southern Thule, South
Sandwich Islands (VP8STI) for ten days, the team will go South Georgia
Island (VP8SGI) and set up camp for an additional ten days. Upon their
return to Stanley, the team will operate as VP8IDX for five days with an
emphasis on 160 metres. Plans are to upload the logs to Club Log on a daily
basis, but the team expects to have challenges in doing so from Southern
Thule, which is outside of the Inmarsat BGAN coverage footprint. QSL
VP8STI, VP8SGI, VP8IDX and VP8IDX/mm via the OQRS provided by Club Log for
direct and bureau cards (direct links can be found on
www.intrepid-dx.com/vp8/qsl.php). Traditional cards should be sent to N2OO

posted to LoTW about six months after the conclusion of the DXpedition.
