CWOPS AWARD ---> The "CWops Award for  Advancing the Art of CW"  (details on
www.cwops.org/awards.html) recognizes individuals, groups  and organizations
that have made  the  greatest  contribution(s) toward  advancing the art  or
practice of radio communications by Morse code. The 2016 recipients are:
- CWops President Rob Brownstein (K6RB) "for creating, organizing, marketing
  and actively  participating  in the  operation of CW Academy, which trains
  about 360 people in Morse code every year";
- Carlo Consoli (IK0YGJ), whose book "Zen  and the Art  of Radiotelegraphy",
  available in  four languages, "is an encyclopedia about CW, and especially
  about learning it. The most valuable section explains how to teach oneself
  to copy CW at speeds exceeding 50 WPM";
- Chuck  Adams (K7QO), "for  writing  and  publishing a CW  training  course
  manual  and  CDs, which  he  distributes  at  no cost to students. He also
  teaches CW classes". [TNX ARRL]

GTC CW CUP ---> The 6th  Greek Telegraphy Club CW Cup  will be  held on  1-2
October (6-12 UTC on Saturday and 12-18 UTC on Sunday) on 80, 40, 20, 15 and

(Heard Island 2016: New Technology Changes the DXpedition). [TNX K8YC]

IOTA: FRIENDS OF IOTA UPDATE ---> "The Friends of IOTA appeal has now raised
GBP 13,232.49, a sum which covers more  than half of  our initial target  of
GBP  25,000  for  the  paperless  QSLing  project",  Roger Balister  (G3KMA)
reported on  the  IOTA  website  on  21  September.  "Additionally  we  have
transferred into Friends of IOTA, with the agreement of the trustees, a  sum
of GBP 2,661.43 previously in the  W4BAA Trust Fund  -  this  was set up  by
bequest for  the  betterment of the  IOTA Programme.  The  sum total of  GBP
15,893.92 is available both for IT and  also, where restricted,  promotional
expenditure.  We  now  have  116  contributors in  31 countries  and we  are
immensely grateful to them for their generosity and support at this time  of
need". Nonetheless, "we are still significantly  short of our target on  the
IT paperless QSLing project", and therefore  donations are still  gratefully
received through PayPal  to the email  address islandsontheair[@]outlook.com
(in the comments field add "Friends of IOTA" and  your callsign to  identify
you). See www.rsgbiota.org for the complete report.

CWOPS AWARD ---> The "CWops Award for  Advancing the Art of CW"  (details on
www.cwops.org/awards.html) recognizes individuals, groups  and organizations
that have made  the  greatest  contribution(s) toward  advancing the art  or
practice of radio communications by Morse code. The 2016 recipients are:
- CWops President Rob Brownstein (K6RB) "for creating, organizing, marketing
  and actively  participating  in the  operation of CW Academy, which trains
  about 360 people in Morse code every year";
- Carlo Consoli (IK0YGJ), whose book "Zen  and the Art  of Radiotelegraphy",
  available in  four languages, "is an encyclopedia about CW, and especially
  about learning it. The most valuable section explains how to teach oneself
  to copy CW at speeds exceeding 50 WPM";
- Chuck  Adams (K7QO), "for  writing  and  publishing a CW  training  course
  manual  and  CDs, which  he  distributes  at  no cost to students. He also
  teaches CW classes". [TNX ARRL]

GTC CW CUP ---> The 6th  Greek Telegraphy Club CW Cup  will be  held on  1-2
October (6-12 UTC on Saturday and 12-18 UTC on Sunday) on 80, 40, 20, 15 and
complete information. [TNX SV5DKL]

INDEXA NEWSLETTER ---> A Summer 2016 Special Issue of the  International  DX
Association's   Newsletter   (INDEXA)   is  now   available  for   download:
www.indexa.org/newsletters.html.  This  issue  contains the  story of  VK0EK
(Heard Island 2016: New Technology Changes the DXpedition). [TNX K8YC]

IOTA: FRIENDS OF IOTA UPDATE ---> "The Friends of IOTA appeal has now raised
GBP 13,232.49, a sum which covers more  than half of  our initial target  of
GBP  25,000  for  the  paperless  QSLing  project",  Roger Balister  (G3KMA)
reported on  the  IOTA  website  on  21  September.  "Additionally  we  have
transferred into Friends of IOTA, with the agreement of the trustees, a  sum
of GBP 2,661.43 previously in the  W4BAA Trust Fund  -  this  was set up  by
bequest for  the  betterment of the  IOTA Programme.  The  sum total of  GBP
15,893.92 is available both for IT and  also, where restricted,  promotional
expenditure.  We  now  have  116  contributors in  31 countries  and we  are
immensely grateful to them for their generosity and support at this time  of
need". Nonetheless, "we are still significantly  short of our target on  the
IT paperless QSLing project", and therefore  donations are still  gratefully
received through PayPal  to the email  address islandsontheair[@]outlook.com
(in the comments field add "Friends of IOTA" and  your callsign to  identify
you). See www.rsgbiota.org for the complete report.
