The OQRS on Club Log was enabled on 25 September, and the log is being uploaded to LoTW. FT4TA ---> The latest and last press release ("One more thing...") before the team leaves for Tromelin can be read on the expedition website www.tromelin2014.com. "Initially, we will seek to maximize the number of contacts to give everyone a chance whatever their geographical position", which means that FT4TA will be active "quite often on the most prolific bands". Their second priority will be "activity on the low bands, with all the difficulties that it generates". The logs will be uploaded to Club Log on a daily basis; the leaderboard will not be activated and "neither the pilots, nor the QSL Manager will have access to the log during the operation". A special postage stamp, celebrating the 60th anniversary of the first amateur radio activity from Tromelin, will be used for all direct, OQRS and donor cards. The envelopes will be then postmarked and mailed by the TAAF; the process might take some time, but at the end of the day you will have your FT4TA QSL card and a Tromelin philatelic cover.

QSL VIA RN3RQ ---> Jack, RN3RQ (ua3r[(a)]yandex.ru) has taken over the QSL duties for a number of new stations: EA8/RA1A, HA9SU (SK), K9RS, N3RR, N4AF, NY4A, PR1T, RA2FDX, TK4A (2012) and UE16MM. See the complete list and QSLling instructions on qrz.com. [TNX RN3RQ] RSGB IOTA - THE FUTURE ---> This year marks the Golden Jubilee of the Islands on the Air (IOTA) as a premier DX programme. "Those close to it have been anxious to ensure the sustainability of the IOTA programme over the next 50 years and have spent some time reviewing the challenges and opportunities it faces", RSGB's President John Gould (G3WKL) writes in a document that outlines the future of IOTA. "A number of issues have been identified: firstly, the heavy reliance of the programme on just a few key people; secondly, the need to ensure that IT support for the programme is modern and robust and will include online island credit submission akin to LoTW; and thirdly, a requirement for a friendlier and more accessible website which will be of greater use to both newcomers and the more experienced island chaser". The document can be found at http://rsgb.org/main/blog/uncategorized/2014/09/24/rsgb-iota-programme/ W1AW WAS ---> Look for ARRL Centennial stations W1AW/KL7 from Alaska, W1AW/6 from California and W1AW/3 from the District of Columbia to be on the air starting at 00.00 UTC on 1 October until 23.59 UTC on the 7th.

Regarding the Oceania SSB and CW legs, Clublog real-time uploads will be switched off during this time and uploaded soon after the contest ends". =========================== *** 4 2 5 D X N E W S *** ******* QSL ROUTES ******* =========================== Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH Direttore Responsabile I2VGW =================================================================== CALL MANAGER CALL MANAGER CALL MANAGER =================================================================== 3B8BAE K5XK EG5VAL EA5DM PX2A PY2VM 3Z0TECH 3Z6AEF EG6RAY EA6QY S01MZ EA1BT 3Z50AYP SP7DQR EG7MAL EA7RM S79LCA HB9LCA 4K6FO DC9RI EG7SFC EC7AKV SN0S SP5IOU 4O0HST SP1RKR EG7UDA EB7KA SP55DXC SP7DQR 4U20B 9A2AA EG8COR EA8URL SW8WW HA0HW 5H9GB G4SVV EH2HJ EA2IR SX2IMA SV2JAO 5Q1A/p OZ5ESB FS/PJ7MF IZ1MHY T6EU AK4JK 5R8SV G3SWH GB0SBC MM3YMU T6T RW6HS 5W1SA JA1DXA GB2LGR G4NRZ T6YA F5OGL 8P2K KU9C GB4ADU G4LRG T88KH BM2JCC 8Q7AF EA1AF GB70BTF G4LRG TA7AOF TA1HZ 9H3JA EA5IDQ GD0EMG/p G3NKC TF/NA8O JK1FNL 9H5G NI5DX GW0AAA/p G3TXF TG9/AB0FU JA2SWH 9H9NC 9H1SP GX8HRC G3SVK TG9NT RW6HS 9K9GHL 9K2QA HB9SOLAR HB9ACA TM1MAD F5KLJ 9M4DX JA6IDJ HC1GVT KK4GV TM27NN F5KTU 9M51CP 9M2RDX HF0S SP5XHJ TM36CDXC F5CWU 9M51RP 9M2GET HF200P SP9PKE TM59FDL F5KDB 9M51SB 9M6ZIM HF80PLOCK SP5ZBA TM77AR F5NTZ 9M51TR 9M2FUL HG0WFF HA0HW TM80CLC F8KHS 9M6XRO M0URX HG140JLO HA8KW TM850CS F6FNA A25TQ N6TQ HG15SPORT HA7PL TM89IARU F6KMF A52AEF JH3AEF HS0ZFS LX1KQ TY1AA I2YSB AH0CO JA1JHQ II0IABJ IK0ZME TZ6HY DJ9ZB AP2TN DJ9ZB II0IAET IZ0EUX UE16HQ R4AAS C91GBA EA4GBA II0IAML IS0IGV UE16MM RN3RQ CG3C VE3RHE II0IGZF IZ0FVD UE16MP RY2S CO6HLP EA7FTR II1IAST IK1RKN UE16MT R4AAS CO6LC IZ1GDB II5IHLP I5NQK UE16SA UA6ABE CR5MV CR7AKN II9IAGM IT9YEM UE16SF UA3RF CR6LH CT1GZB II9IAIQ IT9CFP UE16ST R9XC CY0C VE1RGB IR2ENG I2MYF UN160G UN0GL D44KS EB7DX IS0/3Z0R SP9SX UO160G UN0GL D8A 6K5YPD J47ALT SZ2T UP160G UN0GL DB50FIRAC DL8DWL KH2/KH0K JE4SMQ V26K AA3B DP0GVN DL5EBE KI1U/VE9 KI1U V26OC N3OC DR20RAFG DK0GSK LX/PA1AW PA1AW VK6ISL VE3LYC E2A E21EIC LX/PA3EWP PA1AW VK9AN N7QT E2C E20PFE LX/PA9JO PA1AW VK9NT VK2CA E30FB JH1AJT LX/PB5X PA1AW VP5B K4ISV E51AOW LA8OW M0UKI/p M0OXO VU2EXP RW6HS EA6/G3SZU M0OXO OJ0W OH3WS XT2CML LZ1CLM EG1CEL EA1YO OP147MN ON2KP XU7TZG ON7PP EG1DEP EA1DR OP14A ON7LU YB9/DJ7XJ OZ7XJ EG1RSO EA1AST OP14N ON4CRD YF1AR/p N2OO EG2EIB EA1WK OP14V ON4GDV YL100PW YL2PP EG3BAR EB3CW OY1OF M0URX YS1/AB0FU JA2SWH EG3CAT EB3JP OZ0AV DL8AAV YV4MT EA5GL EG4ATB EA4TX P29NI G3KHZ YW5RYL YV5AJ EG4ATM EA5DY P29VCX SM6CVX Z81D OM3JW EG4ESP EA4TD PA175RR PI4KST ZD9XF G3TXF EG4GET EA4ZK PA70KP PA1TX ZD9ZS ZS1S EG5CVF EA5WP PA70OMG PB0AEZ ZL7X JA0VSH EG5ELX EA5BY PA70PARA PA1WBU ZS9Z ZS1OIN EG5GRA EA5FID PA950SLD PA3FOE ZW5B K3IRV EG5LEV EA5URL PI1000GAZ PI4GAZ ZX2B PY2MNL EG5RMA EA5FL PJ4DX M0URX ZY1SG PY1AA G3KHZ Derek Cox, 18 Station Road, Castle Bytham, Grantham, NG33 4SB, United Kingdom G3TXF Nigel Cawthorne, Falcons, St George's Avenue, Weybridge, KT13 0BS, United Kingdom I2YSB Silvano Borsa, Viale Capettini 1, 27036 Mortara PV, Italy JA0VSH Kazuhide Maruyama, 1-25-49 Irima-cho, Chofu-shi, Tokyo, 182-0004, Japan JA4GXS Kenji Sasaki, 2-15 Ishigannon-cho, Yamaguchi-shi, Yamaguchi-ken, 753-0038, Japan JH1AJT Y.

LISTINFO-LPC 1059: Conférence radioastronomie à Limoges par F6AGR
by Raymond AUPETIT Sept. 16, 2014

Sept. 16, 2014

Bonjour Le même communiqué m'arrive de deux côtés : De la part de F6ETI : F6AGR, Jean-Louis RAULT, président de la commission radio-astronomie de la Société astronomique de France, viendra à Limoges faire une conférence sur la *Radioastronomie* le vendredi 3 octobre 2014. 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. À la suite de cette conférence, la SAPL organise le lendemain samedi 4 octobre une réunion restreinte avec Monsieur RAULT sur les possibilités d'installer une station de radioastronomie d'amateur. La présence de radio amateurs à cette réunion, avec nos astronomes amateurs, me paraît essentielle. Les radio amateurs qui souhaitent participer, compte tenu du nombre de places limitées, doivent impérativement m'envoyer un email (christian.jacquier(a)yahoo.fr) indiquant leur présence. La réunion se déroulera le 4 octobre de 14h00 à 16H00 dans les locaux de la SAPL, Ecole du Pont Neuf 12, rue des Carriers 87 000 Limoges. En espérant avoir le plaisir de vous rencontrer, Bien cordialement Christian JACQUIER - Philippe BURY De la part de F1UJT : Pour faire suite à notre conversation téléphonique je vous confirme que pour faire suite à la conférence sur la radioastronomie du vendredi soir 3 octobre, la SAPL (Société d'astronomie populaire de Limoges) organise le Samedi 4 octobre une réunion restreinte avec Monsieur RAULT sur les possibilités d'installer une station de radioastronomie d'amateur. La présence de radio amateurs à cette réunion, avec nos astronomes amateurs, me paraît essentielle, et nous serons très heureux de les accueillir. Pourriez vous diffuser cette information auprès des radio amateurs du département. Les radio amateurs qui souhaitent participer, compte tenu du nombre de places limitées, doivent impérativement m'envoyer un email (christian.jacquier(a)yahoo.fr) indiquant leur présence. La réunion se déroulera le 4 octobre de 14h00 à 16H00 dans les locaux de la SAPL, Ecole du Pont Neuf 12, rue des Carriers 87 000 Limoges.
