[TNX K4SV] ==================================== IOTA PROGRAMME: NEW ISLAND GROUPS by Roger Balister, G3KMA RSGB IOTA Manager 11 July 2014 ==================================== ELEVEN NEW IOTA GROUPS were announced at IOTA's 50th Anniversary Convention, held in Windsor, England over the weekend 4 to 6 July 2014. Some result directly from the rule changes announced in the latest IOTA Directory, published in May 2014 (a note of the main changes can be seen at IOTA Rule Changes 2014 on http://www.g3kma.dsl.pipex.com) All new groups have provisional numbers. This means that they will need to be confirmed by an operation taking place after 5 July 2014 that meets the 1000 QSO and other normal validation requirements. Only after confirmation of the number will credit for past operations be considered. Most of the new groups have not seen a previous amateur radio operation. Where however there has been an operation with contacts credited to an IOTA group, IOTA Management will at some point arrange transfers of credits to the new group if it has clear-cut information covering all operations in the old group. In two cases this may not be possible. The addition of these new groups necessitates in some cases the renaming of the titles of existing groups and amendment of the "co-ordination boxes" as currently appearing in the new Directory. 'A' and 'W' refer to the regional awards as shown in the Directory. AF-118P CN MEDITERRANEAN SEA COAST GROUP (=JAEGERSCHMIDT, LOS FARALLONES) 34.59-35.56N 002.13-006.15W New 'coastal islands' group. These islands were not previously shown on a 1:1,000,000 scale map but now qualify from being shown and named on Google Earth. No known previous amateur radio activity. AF-119P S7 COETIVY ISLAND (=COETIVY) 06.58-07.18S 056.08-056.25E New 'remote island' group. This island (previously AF-024) lies a distance of some 170 km from Platte Island, the nearest island in the rest of the Seychelles. Permission to land and operate is required from the owners. No Known previous amateur radio activity. Coetivy will be deleted from AF-024 and the 'co-ordinates box' amended. AS-200P JA5 SHIKOKU'S COASTAL ISLANDS (=[ISLANDS TO BE LISTED]) 32.40-34.35N 132.00-134.52E Shikoku, one of the four main Japanese islands, has hitherto not had its own coastal islands IOTA group and these all previously counted for AS-076. This is being changed. The main valid islands will be listed on the scroll down list on the application page on the RSGB website shortly. There has been regular previous amateur radio activity. Contacts do not count until a new valid operation has taken place. It may not be possible to transfer past credits that now qualify for AS-200P. The island entry against AS-076 will be amended. AS-201P TA SEA OF MARMARA ISLANDS (=AVSA [AKA TURKELI], IMRALI, MARMARA, PASALIMANI, PRINCE ISLS [NAMELY BURGAZADA, BUYUKADA, HEYBELIADA, KASIK, KINALIADA, SEDEF, SIVRIADA, TAVSAN, YASSIADA]) 40.18-41.04N 026.10-029.31E The case for the Sea of Marmara islands counting as a separate group for IOTA has been reviewed and, given the special treatment afforded the Black Sea islands, is considered on balance worthy of acceptance. The main valid islands are on the Asiatic side of the Sea of Marmara. There has been occasional previous amateur radio activity but contacts do not count until a new valid operation has taken place. AS-202P A9 HAWAR ISLANDS (=HAWAR ISLS [NAMELY HAWAR, RABAD AL GHARBIYAR, RABAD ASH SHARQIYAH, SUWAD AL JANUBIYAH, SUWAD ASH SHAMLIYAH]) 25.32-25.47N 050.41-050.51E This is a self-contained group of islands (previously AS-002), which nestle close to Qatar and are physically separated off from Bahrain. No known previous amateur radio activity. The island entry against AS-002 and the 'co-ordinates box' will be amended. AS-203P R0X SHELIKHOVA BAY GROUP (=DOBRZHANSKOGO, KONUS, ROVNYY, SKALA, TRETIY, ZUBCHATYY) 59.00-62.41N 159.40-165.05E The currently named Shelikhova Bay group (AS-091) is being split to allow islands north of Ptichiy Island to count separately. Dobrzhanskogo Island is situated some 600 km from Ptichiy and the others mentioned above some 500 km. This distance spread in a group is quite exceptional. All previous activity has been from Ptichiy Island (AS-091) - by UA0X/EK250RA (August 1991), RZ0ZWA/0 and UE0XYZ (both July 2001) - and this will remain AS-091. The title of AS-091 will be renamed 'Sea of Okhotsk Coast group' and the 'co-ordinates box' amended. A EU-190P RI1F VIKTORIYA ISLAND, FRANZ JOSEF LAND (=VIKTORIYA) 80.05-80.12N 036.30-037.10E New 'remote island' group. This island (previously EU-019) lies a distance of 158 km from Zemlya Aleksandry, Franz Josef Land. Previous Amateur Radio Activity was by Nikolay Povalyaev (1985-1991 as UA1O/UA0BCA, then 1991 to 1994 as 4K2BCA and, lastly 1994 when the station was closed as R1FJV) but contacts do not count until a new valid operation has taken place. Viktoriya will be deleted from EU-019 and the 'co-ordinates box' amended. EU-191P YO/UR FERICIRII ISLAND (=FERICIRII) 45.09-45.13N 029.45-029.47E New 'split sovereignty island' group. This is a newly established split sovereignty island in the Black Sea just outside the Danube Delta. It is 2km from the mainland and approximate 4.78Km long. A recent International Court of Justice decision split sovereignty over the island between Romania and Ukraine. It cannot be joined with Saculinu Mare because the latter is not split sovereignty. No known previous amateur radio activity. W NA-247P PJ7 SINT MAARTEN'S COASTAL ISLANDS (=GUANA KEY OF PELIKAN, MOLLY BEDAY [AKA MAL ABORDER]) 18.00-18.04N 062.57-063.10W New 'coastal islands' group of a split sovereignty island. These islands were not previously shown on a 1:1,000,000 scale map but now qualify from being shown and named on Google Earth in the same way that the coastal islands of St Martin FS count (NA-199). No known previous amateur radio activity. A NA-248P VE8,VY0 NWT (MELVILLE ISLAND) GROUP (=BORDEN, BROCK, EGLINTON, EMERALD, MACKENZIE KING, MELVILLE, PRINCE PATRICK) 74.20-78.50N 105.00-123.30W This leaves NA-009 as follows: NA-009 VY0 Nunavut (Devon Island) group (=Baillie-Hamilton, Bathurst, Byam Martin, Cameron, Coburg, Cornwall, Cornwallis, Devon, Graham, Grosvenor, Lougheed) 74.24-77.51N 079.00-106.10W The very large territorial/sea area covered by NA-009, Nunavut (Parry Islands) is divided administratively between NWT and Nunavut by straight line co-ordinates (in some cases across an island). Following practice elsewhere, these islands are now split into two IOTA groups. Devon and Melville Islands, the largest islands in each, are among the next largest "large islands" in size after others that have been given separate numbers because of size. There has been regular previous amateur radio activity from NA-248P. Contacts do not count for this group until a new valid operation has taken place. It may not be possible to transfer past credits from NA-009 that now qualify for NA-248P. OC-296P T8 TOBI AND HELEN ISLANDS (=HELEN, TOBI) 02.40-03.10N 131.00-132.00E New 'remote island' group. These two islands (previously OC-248) lie a distance of about 152 km from Merir Island, the nearest of the remaining South Palau group. No known previous amateur radio activity. The title of OC-248 will be renamed 'Sonsorol Islands group' and the 'co-ordinates box' amended. =========================== *** 4 2 5 D X N E W S *** ******* QSL ROUTES ******* =========================== Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH Direttore Responsabile I2VGW =================================================================== CALL MANAGER CALL MANAGER CALL MANAGER =================================================================== 3B8FA NI5DX EH1CB EA1WD SN0LOT SP1PMY 3D2ML RM2A FG4NO F4AVX SV02FF SV2GWY 3W3B E21EIC FP/KV1J KV1J T88KH BM2JCC 4L8A K1BV FR4PV EA5GL TA0/DF8DX DF8DX 4M4C YV4GLD GA2MP N3SL TK14CC F8BBL 5B4AJC UA3DX GB4TDF G1LAT TM100BS F5KOU 5P2X DL2DXA GJ/WJ2O N2ZN TM100GM F8KGY 5W0ML RM2A HF33WGC SP3PKC TM100LGG F4GRW 5Z4PL DJ0TA HF70AK SP8MMW TM200NB F5KOB 6V7S RK4FF HF750J SP9PRR TM29CTI F4FRG 9H5G NI5DX HG20JASZ HA7NK TM60GW F5PCX 9J2CA G3SWH HG7DANUBE HA7VY TM68TDF F6KDL 9M6XRO/p M0URX HS0ZJF ON4AFU TM800B F-60345 9V1KK JH1ILX HZ1HX E73Y TM80GW F5INJ A65DR N4GNR JT1NOC I5NOC V31LF KH7AM C5II JA1UII JW/KH0PR JJ8DEN V47JA W5JON C5JA JE1WVQ JW/UA3IPL RW6HS VE6100EMP/7 VA7QB C91IW ZS1WY JW6VDA LA6VDA VK7BO EA7FTR C91JR GI4FUM JW7QIA LA7QIA VY1JA N3SL D44TS DL3GCS MC0SHL M0URX WR1TC K1KI DJ60DXMB DL7UXG OF3ERTC OH2BH YN2RP NN3RP DR50RRDXA DJ6QT OM08EPC OM3RP YS1/NP3J EA5GL DU1IST JA1HGY OQ4TDF ON4IPR YU100CER YU1HQR E51QBV K2QBV P43K RW6HS ZD9M ZS1A E72NATO E73Y PC200ZVL PA0ABM ZF2GO K6GO EG5FPN EA7HBC R1CC DJ1ND ZF2NA K6GO EG5HSJ EA5RKB R50EPC RZ3DVP ZF2ZH K6ZH EG7FCJ EA7FC R90NOR RA3TYL ZS3Y NI5DX 4J0SFR Parvana Hasanova Fornatti, 12584 Eden Ct, Apple Valley MN 55124, USA DF8DX Bodo Fritsche, Mardelaeckerstr. 14, 5417 Untersiggenthal, Switzerland JA1UII Takeshi Ono, 3-33-11 Hachioji, Chuo-ku, Saitama-shi, Saitama-ken, 338-0006, Japan JE1WVQ Takao Miyatani, 2-8-3 Uemine, Chuo-ku, Saitama-shi, Saitama-ken, 338-0014, Japan KV1J Eric Williams, 763 Pleasant St, Marlboro MA 01752, USA N2M Burlington County Radio Club, P.O.

LISTINFO-LPC 1498: PRESSE: Le Télégramme
by Raymond AUPETIT July 7, 2014

July 7, 2014

Bonjour les amateurs de l'époque.... Un article intéressant ? Sujet de visite lors de vacances ? 73 de Raymond F-15873 40-44. Les voix bretonnes de Radio Londres 6 juillet 2014/ Erwan Chartier-Le Floch / Ce cliché, pris le 24 juin 1944, montre un officier de liaison en mission.. Archives du Musée de la Résistance Bretonne de Saint-Marcel L'information a joué un rôle essentiel durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, avec l'utilisation de moyens massifs de propagande ou de contre-propagande et le recours aux nouveaux médias de l'époque : le cinéma et la radio. Plusieurs Bretons ont participé à cette guerre médiatique sur les ondes de la BBC, à travers les émissions de Radio Londres. Commençant par le fameux « Pom, pom, pom, pom », le générique des émissions « Les Français parlent aux Français » fait partie des éléments les plus familiers de la mémoire de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il est vrai que la radio a joué un rôle majeur dans le conflit et c'est d'ailleurs ce média qu'utilise le général de Gaulle pour diffuser son fameux appel du 18 juin 1940 et avec lequel les Français libres vont quotidiennement communiquer. Une guerre des ondes Inventée au siècle précédent, la radio ne prend son essor que dans les années 1920, avec la création des premières émissions régulières, puis le lancement de chaînes, très souvent sous contrôle des États. Les régimes totalitaires des années 1930 comprennent rapidement l'intérêt de ce média qui permet de faire passer massivement des messages de propagande. Après la défaite, Radio Vichy et Radio Paris sont mises au service de la collaboration, à grands renforts de démagogie et d'antisémitisme. Pour les contrer, sur les ondes de la BBC à Londres, plusieurs émissions sont mises en place par les Français libres, animées par de jeunes journalistes qui innovent par leur ton novateur (sketchs, messages personnels, chansons, blagues...). C'est ainsi que Pierre Dac lance le slogan : « Radio Paris ment, Radio Paris est allemand ». Rapidement, Radio Londres va également contribuer à faire passer des messages codés pour la Résistance. Sur le continent, les Allemands tentent de brouiller la radio, sans succès. Partout, on « bricole » des postes à galène pour pouvoir capter la voix de la France libre et des Alliés qui rendent compte à partir de 1942-1943, des revers des forces de l'Axe. Jean Marin, le Douarneniste Parmi les grandes voix de Radio Londres, on retrouve deux Bretons : le Douarneniste Jean Marin et le Trégorrois Charles-Marie Guillois. Né en 1904 dans la cité penn-sardin, Yves Morvan, plus connu sous son pseudonyme de Jean Marin, a passé quelques années dans la Marine, avant de devenir correspondant de presse à Londres en 1935. Mobilisé sur place et versé dans la mission d'information franco-britannique, il est détaché au service français de la BBC. Il est présent lors de l'enregistrement de l'appel du 18 juin et, impressionné par la personnalité de de Gaulle, décide de s'engager à ses côtés. Dès le 19 juin 1940, il anime une émission afin de « porter dans les demeures françaises les paroles de vérité ». En 1944, il est présent dans la deuxième division blindée du général Leclerc qui libère Paris, avant d'être chargé par de Gaulle du redémarrage de Radio Rennes. Il s'investit également dans la presse régionale. Après la guerre, Jean Marin devient directeur de l'Agence France Presse, puis son président en 1957, après avoir contribué au statut d'autonomie de l'AFP, garant d'un journalisme indépendant. Guillois, le bretonnant de la BBC Originaire de Penvénan, Charles-Marie Guillois rejoint l'Angleterre depuis Brest, le 16 juin 1940, à bord des navires de la Marine qui tentent d'échapper à l'avance allemande en Bretagne. Il a d'ailleurs failli mourir sur le Vauquois, coulé par une mine dérivant. À Londres, Jean Marin le remarque alors qu'il est en train de discuter en breton avec un groupe d'engagés des FFL. Jean Marin l'embauche pour les émissions en langue bretonne et en profite pour rassurer sa famille restée au pays. « Me zo Koko deus Porzh Gwenn » (« C'est moi Koko de Porsguen »), lance-t-il sur les ondes de la BBC, notamment pour sa mère qui le croyait mort sur le Vauquois. Pendant plusieurs mois, Charles-Marie Guillois anime des émissions en langue bretonne pour inviter les hommes valides à continuer le combat et à rejoindre l'Angleterre. L'emploi du breton a une indéniable efficacité psychologique pour convaincre de nombreux marins de traverser la Manche. Les Bretons formeront ainsi près de 40 % des effectifs des Forces navales françaises libres. Sans compter les maquis qui se développent dans la péninsule à partir de 1943. Après la guerre, Charles-Marie Guillois rappellera au général de Gaulle et aux autorités de la République que la langue bretonne, qui avait été aussi mobilisée dans le combat contre les nazis, méritait des mesures de protection. Il rédige une lettre au président de la République. Mais son message, cette fois, ne sera pas entendu. Pour en savoir plus « Radio Londres - 1940-1944 - Les voix de la liberté », Aurélie Luneau, éditions Librairie Académique Perrin, 2005. « Résistance et conscience bretonne », Jean-Jacques Monnier, Yoran Embanner, 2008. « Toute l'Histoire de Bretagne », Collectif, Skol Vreizh, 2012. En complément Le Musée de la Résistance à Saint-Marcel Aujourd'hui encore, malgré leur quiétude apparente, les bois et les collines de Saint-Marcel, dans le Morbihan, en lisière des landes de Lanvaux, conservent le souvenir des durs combats qui éclatèrent en juin 1944. En prévision de l'opération Overlord, plusieurs dizaines de parachutistes SAS avaient, en effet, été envoyés en Bretagne, afin d'organiser les maquis et de fixer les troupes allemandes pour qu'elles ne puissent pas renforcer le front de Normandie. Le plus important d'entre eux se constituera à Saint-Marcel. Des milliers de résistants vont s'y rendre et s'y armer. De violents conflits les opposent aux Allemands. Après la guerre, un monument est élevé puis, en 1979, un premier musée est installé dans la mairie. Mais, face à l'afflux des visiteurs, il se révèle trop petit et la décision est prise d'en construire un nouveau sur le lieu des combats. Il est inauguré en 1984. Visite pédagogique et didactique Une collection privée d'objets de la Seconde Guerre mondiale a permis de constituer le noyau d'un fonds muséographique qui continue toujours de s'enrichir. Le scénario du musée a été écrit par Jacqueline Sainclivier et Christian Bougeard, deux universitaires spécialistes de la période. La visite qu'ils ont imaginée est très pédagogique et didactique. Elle ne se cantonne pas à l'évocation des combats de Saint-Marcel, mais permet d'évoquer la vie quotidienne sous l'Occupation en Bretagne. On peut, par exemple, s'asseoir dans la tourelle d'un bombardier pour assister au bombardement de Lorient ou déambuler dans une rue avec ses magasins rationnés et des affiches d'époque. D'autres espaces présentent la presse de l'époque, des uniformes et des armes des différentes armées ou les activités de la Résistance. La Collaboration et la Déportation sont également évoquées. Deux salles sont enfin consacrées aux parachutistes français SAS qui, avant la Bretagne, s'étaient illustrés en Afrique du Nord. À l'extérieur, les visiteurs peuvent découvrir des reconstitutions des fortifications du mur de l'Atlantique et des véhicules d'époque. Le musée comporte également un fonds documentaire accessible sur rendez-vous et une salle d'exposition temporaire.

Mr Jean-Louis Rault F6AGR, président de la commission radio-astronomie de la Société astronomique de France, viendra à Limoges faire , à notre demande une conférence sur la *Radioastronomie*. Outre les grands évènements professionnels de cette discipline très riche, il évoquera aussi les actions que les amateurs peuvent mener dans ce domaine, avec des moyens simples ou adaptés. Cette conférence aura lieu le vendredi 3 octobre, en soirée, à la Faculté des sciences et techniques de Limoges, et elle s'inscrit dans le cadre de la Fête de la Science 2014. Elle est ouverte à tous et gratuite, et nous pensons qu'il serait utile de la signaler à la connaissance des radioamateurs de la région, dont certains pourraient être intéressés par cette relation entre l'astronomie d'amateur et le radio-amateurisme. Peut-être avez-vous la possibilité de la signaler aux OM de votre secteur ? Il va de soi que cette information peut être librement communiquée, et que vous pouvez, d'ores et déjà, la considérer comme une invitation, si vous avez la possibilité de venir à Limoges ce soir-là Je vous remercie d'avance de votre attention.
