The Yasme Excellence Award is in the form of a cash grant and an individually-engraved crystal globe. The latest recipients, announced on 26 May, are: - Tim Duffy, K3LR: in recognition of his adaptation and development of the Contest University (CTU), now in its tenth year. CTU has not only reached hundreds of amateurs around the world, but it has also inspired others to create their own CTU-format training programs in other fields. Tim's dedication to CTU is in the finest traditions of amateur radio's self- teaching and training. - Carole Perry, WB2MGP: in recognition of her many years of contributions to teaching and mentoring youth interested in amateur radio and her efforts in organizing and promoting the interests of young operators. This youth- oriented work becomes more and more important to amateur radio with every passing year. Carole's dedication to this work, including through the Radio Club of America, is in the finest traditions of amateur radio's self-teaching and training. - Tom Rauch, W8JI: in recognition of his many contributions to the technical advancement of the amateur service. Tom's willingness to provide education and direction to amateurs through his website (www.w8ji.com) and other communications is a prime example of hams mentoring, teaching and training each other in the finest traditions of amateur radio.

Bonsoir Voici une information de Bernard F5HDN. Par ailleurs : La liste LISTINFO-LPC est arrêtée suite à crash informatique et perte du carnet d’adresses. Donc tous les abonnés individuels (hors listes automatiques) ne recevront plus cette liste. Faites passer l’info, merci. 73 de Raymond F-15873 Pour les utilisateurs du relais du Limousin (R2). Vous avez tous constaté que le R2 est régulièrement l'objet de déclenchements intempestifs. Voir brouillé au point d'excéder les O.M qui déduisent un mauvais fonctionnement du relais. Afin de limiter ces désagréments et d'être conforme aux recommandations IARU applicables depuis 2014, le relais du Limousin R2 est configuré pour fonctionner uniquement avec du CTCSS à 88.5Hz. Excursion maximale de 2.8 Khz. La tonalité 1750Hz n'est plus active. Je tiens à remercier Christopher F5VMR qui se dévoue sans compter pour la maintenance du R2 et de toutes les installations de "Pain-Pot" mis aux services de la communauté radioamateurs. 73 Bernard/F5HDN

Bonsoir, Voici les dernières nouvelles DX. Il n’y aura plus de LISTINFO-LPC, ni F8REF, ni cette liste DX, à ceux qui les recevaient en direct, hors listes automatiques. (Suite à pb informatique) 73 bon WE. Raymond. 21 May 2016 A.R.I. DX Bulletin No 1307 =========================== *** 4 2 5 D X N E W S *** **** DX INFORMATION **** =========================== Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH Direttore Responsabile I2VGW 5W - Tom, KC0W (currently active as KH8/KC0W from American Samoa) expects to continue his "Worldwide DXpedition" [425DXN 1289] and go to Samoa (OC-097) around 15 June. Length of stay is not known. Look for 5W0COW to operate CW only on 160-6 metres. Refrain from working him twice on the same band, as "any station trying to dupe QSO me will have all past QSOs deleted & will be blacklisted". QSL via KC0W, direct only ("all QSL cards sent to my PO Box while I'm on this DXpedition will be answered by an assistant"); logsearch on Club Log. He will not use LoTW.

He "has decided to bring back and treasure those great people and locations that once introduced him to joy, provided learning, and urged him to look at the world from a missionary DXing perspective". His 70th anniversary journey in 2016 "will take him to many of those original locations, allowing you to refresh your memories at the other end of the radio circuit. Use the password 'QBH70' to put the pileup on hold and share one of your memories right on the spot. This mode of DXing is called RETRO DXpeditioning". After CT3BH, there will be more. "Dotting the world is the greatest pastime of DXers, even though returning to one's sweet home tends to beat such dotting. Qualifying for the BH-SH (Back Home-Sweet Home) Award is a 14-dot mission: each country with OH2BH operating alone and/or as part of a group during 2016 gives you 1 point, whereas working Martti at his home gives you 5 points - you need 10 countries to qualify". Activities so far in 2016 include CU2KG/CR2X, Z68BH/Z60A, and ZA/OH2BH. [TNX N7NG] DL - Stefan, DF8HS will be active from Fehmarn Island (EU-128) from 6 June to 4 July. QSL via bureau.

Recently we learned that Bill was in need of a laptop computer. His current Windows laptop is quite old and very much out of date. He is using an iPhone and iPad but a Windows 10 laptop will be of great help in his recovery. Bill cannot use his fingers except in a very limited way and at that he has no strength. We hope this current technology laptop will be the foundation for development of an interface that allows Bill to use the Remote Ham Radio site with push buttons rather than mouse actions. This particular laptop was used on the TX3X Chesterfield Island DXpedition. The machine was refurbished by the Perseverance DX Group (www.pdxg.net), loaded with Windows 10 and presented to Bill by Les Kalmus W2LK. PDXG is extremely happy to have been able to help Bill on his long road to recovery". [TNX K5GS] PIRATE ---> 1A0KM was repeatedly pirated over the past few weeks.

WRTC 2018: SPONSORED TEAMS ---> "Sponsored teams are a long-standing tradition in WRTC and a substantial part for fundraising. It gives the chance to take part in the WRTC to dedicated contesters who cannot qualify because of serious commitments". The WRTC 2018 Organizing Committee is looking for applications for the first two sponsored teams beginning on 1 June - see the details on www.wrtc2018.de. WWFF ---> The "World Wide Flora and Fauna in Amateur Radio" aims to draw attention to the importance of protecting nature. In this spirit amateur radio operators set up and operate their radio stations from designated nature parks and protected nature areas - generating attention for these areas whilst giving the ham radio community an interesting activity to contact.
