representatives from each of the three IARU regional organizations. The AC
held its annual in-person meeting on 7 and 8 October in Vina del Mar
(Chile), immediately prior to the IARU Region 2 Conference. See
http://www.iaru.org/news--events for the details.
IARU SECRETARY ---> "Rod Stafford, W6ROD, has retired as IARU Secretary
after seven years of service in that position", IARU reported on 20 October.
"The IARU Constitution provides that the member-society serving as the
International Secretariat, i.e. the ARRL, shall designate the Secretary. The
ARRL Board of Directors has designated David Sumner, K1ZZ, to replace Mr.
Stafford as Secretary effective 15 October 2016.
Mr. Sumner has served in this capacity twice previously, from 1982 to 1989
and from 1999 to 2009, while employed by the ARRL to manage its
headquarters. Now retired from employment, he joins the other IARU officers
and Administrative Council members in serving as a volunteer.
IARU resident Tim Ellam, VE6SH, has appointed Mr. Stafford as Emergency
Communications Special Advisor. In this capacity he will represent the
interests of the IARU and the global amateur radio community in the

relating to emergency and disaster response communications".

approaching on the horizon". Reportedly they have made nearly 31,000 QSOs;
the logs will be uploaded to Club Log and the OQRS will be activated when
they get back to Samoa. "The local police officer and new Ham Radio op
they're leaving the radio/antenna setup for (T31KNT) has been brought up to
speed and will be stopping by the 20 Meter ANZA DX Net in the future. He has
no plans to operate pileups for now". [TNX DX World]
VK IOTA POLL ---> Craig, VK5CE is "looking at planning future IOTA
DXpeditions. The % claimed and activation history on the IOTA website and %
claimed in the past 8 years as per the 2016 IOTA directory give a good
indication. However I'm also keen to see what you as a dedicated IOTA hunter
need. So please visit http://vkiota.blogspot.com.au/ and fill in the poll.
This is a chance to make your voice heard and also send in a donation if you
are able to".
