CLUB LOG & IOTA ---> "I  have  made  Club Log's  first IOTA  feature  live",
Michael G7VJR announced on  27 January.  "The Call Tester is now  capable of
identifying IOTA islands (groups and island names),  with time frames,  maps
of the locations and comments added by the  RSGB IOTA team to  help with any
ambiguities".  Please  note  that  "none  of the  research  for  these  IOTA
definitions  originated  in  Club  Log", and  that "the  only  way  an  IOTA
definition will be added  is  when  the  IOTA Validation Team choose  to  do
that".

CLUB LOG'S MOST WANTED LIST ---> The latest Most Wanted List,  generated  on
31 January, is available at  https://secure.clublog.org/mostwanted.php.  The
information is derived  from  QSOs  uploaded  to  Club  Log  (currently  407
million log entries available for analysis) and, to  improve  quality,  only
QSOs that have QSLs confirmed are  considered to be worked.  The most wanted
charts are rebuilt once per month, on average.

E51PT ---> After being  QRT since 1984,  Pia Taraeka ("Papa Pia"), E51PT  is
back on the air from  Manihiki (OC-014), North  Cook Islands "thanks  to the
generosity of members of the Western Washington DX Club".  He can operate CW
and SSB on 80-10 metres "running 100 watts into an all band dipole". QSL via
N7BX, direct only (no LoTW). [TNX The Daily DX]

INDEXA NEWSLETTER ---> The  Winter  2017  edition  of the  International  DX

Paul Island 2016). [TNX K8YC]

IOTA DINNER ---> The 22nd Annual  Islands On The Air (IOTA) Dinner  will  be
held on 21 April at the  Visalia Conference Center in  conjunction with  the
68th International DX Convention. As the IOTA Dinner is not included  in the
main Convention registration, there will be a separate  registration and fee
for it. See www.dxconvention.com/pages/dinners-iota.html  or  contact  Will,
WC6DX (wc6dx[@]sbcglobal.net) for information. [TNX WC6DX]

CLUB LOG & IOTA ---> "I  have  made  Club Log's  first IOTA  feature  live",
Michael G7VJR announced on  27 January.  "The Call Tester is now  capable of
identifying IOTA islands (groups and island names),  with time frames,  maps
of the locations and comments added by the  RSGB IOTA team to  help with any
ambiguities".  Please  note  that  "none  of the  research  for  these  IOTA
definitions  originated  in  Club  Log", and  that "the  only  way  an  IOTA
definition will be added  is  when  the  IOTA Validation Team choose  to  do
that".

CLUB LOG'S MOST WANTED LIST ---> The latest Most Wanted List,  generated  on
31 January, is available at  https://secure.clublog.org/mostwanted.php.  The
information is derived  from  QSOs  uploaded  to  Club  Log  (currently  407
million log entries available for analysis) and, to  improve  quality,  only
QSOs that have QSLs confirmed are  considered to be worked.  The most wanted
charts are rebuilt once per month, on average.

E51PT ---> After being  QRT since 1984,  Pia Taraeka ("Papa Pia"), E51PT  is
back on the air from  Manihiki (OC-014), North  Cook Islands "thanks  to the
generosity of members of the Western Washington DX Club".  He can operate CW
and SSB on 80-10 metres "running 100 watts into an all band dipole". QSL via
N7BX, direct only (no LoTW). [TNX The Daily DX]

INDEXA NEWSLETTER ---> The  Winter  2017  edition  of the  International  DX
Association's  Newsletter  (INDEXA)  is  now  available   for  download   at
www.indexa.org/newsletters.html. This issue contains the story of  CY9C (St.
Paul Island 2016). [TNX K8YC]

IOTA DINNER ---> The 22nd Annual  Islands On The Air (IOTA) Dinner  will  be
held on 21 April at the  Visalia Conference Center in  conjunction with  the
68th International DX Convention. As the IOTA Dinner is not included  in the
main Convention registration, there will be a separate  registration and fee
for it. See www.dxconvention.com/pages/dinners-iota.html  or  contact  Will,
WC6DX (wc6dx[@]sbcglobal.net) for information. [TNX WC6DX]

V63DX ---> Sho, JA7HMZ  has  cancelled  his  17-24  February  [425DXN  1341]
operation from Pohnpei, Micronesia.  He was expected to be QRV as  V63DX and
V6A during the ARRL DX CW Contest. [TNX NG3K]
