[TNX OPDX Bulletin] =========================== *** 4 2 5 D X N E W S *** **** GOOD TO KNOW ... **** =========================== Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH Direttore Responsabile I2VGW 425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The April 2015 issue is now available for download at www.425dxn.org/monthly/index.html. [TNX IZ3EBA] CQ 2015 HALL OF FAMERS ---> CQ Magazine announced on 15 May the 2015 Hall of Fame inductees. The CQ Amateur Radio Hall of Fame was established in January 2001 to recognize individuals - radio amateurs or not - who significantly affected the course of Amateur Radio, as well as radio amateurs who have made significant contributions either to amateur radio, to their professional careers or to some other aspect of life on our planet. This year's inductees are: Tim Allen (KK6OTD), Charles Apgar (ex-2MN, SK), Dr Dan Benishek (KB8TOW), Olof Lundberg (G0CKV), Bre Pettis (W2BRE), Alvino Rey (W6UK, SK), Bob Twiggs (KE6QMD), Greg Walden (W7EQI) and Joko "Jokowi" Widodo (YD2JKW). The CQ Contest Hall of Fame (established in 1986) and the CQ DX Hall of Fame (established in 1967) honour those amateurs who not only excel in personal performance in these major areas of amateur radio, but who also "give back" to the hobby in outstanding ways. This year's inductees in the CQ Contest HoF are Doug Grant (K1DG) and Ward Silver (N0AX). The 2015 inductees to the CQ DX HoF are Yasuo "Zorro" Miyazawa (JH1AJT) and Michael Wells (G7VJR). BOUVET 2016: FINAL PRESS RELEASE ---> "After press release #3 (www.on4ww.be/bouvet2016_pr3.html), I was optimistic in terms of securing the required funding for the 'one-man three-month concept' DXpedition", Mark, ON4WW says. "Thanks to so many of you, the necessary up-front expenses were getting close to being covered by the pledges received at that time. I was also hopeful that the larger DX associations and foundations would step forward to contribute as we were getting close to realization. At this point in time, I have no other choice than to report that the funding is not sufficient to move forward. As I am sure you know, there are a number of large DXpeditions being arranged for late 2015 and early 2016, and they are more or less competing for the same resources. I didn't manage to create sufficient interest among potential external (non-ham) donors, and my one-man concept is of course somewhat controversial by nature. Though, I am still convinced that - even if my particular approach is not necessarily the solution - future DXpeditioning has to find other forms in order to remain sustainable. After having received permission for Bouvet from NPI (Norwegian Polar Institute), my wife (!), my employer (5 months leave without pay) and getting close to the sufficient up-front funding, this is a bitter pill to swallow. But I am extremely grateful to all of you for having lived this dream with me. And not the least to my angel sponsor who kept things going. As I stated from the beginning, don't be sad, someone else will activate Bouvet!" HEARD ISLAND 2016 ---> The VK0EK expedition to Heard Island has been postponed to March-April 2016. On 13 May Cordell Expeditions signed a new contract with Nigel Jolly, owner and operator of the "Braveheart". The ship will depart from Cape Town (South Africa) on 6 March and return to Fremantle (Australia) on 20 April, with a nominal 21-day stay at Heard Island (16 March-8 April). While the radio operation is the primary goal, the team will also carry out a limited scientific programme. "Obviously, the conversion to the new vessel and schedule will require adapting the team and the project activities, but the major goals of the expedition remain unchanged. We are grateful to the Northern California DX Foundation and numerous other organizations, and many, many individuals for their generous support of this project. We will update the various documents and websites in the near future". The official website for the DXpedition is at www.vk0ek.org, while www.heardisland.org is the website for the scientific project. [TNX KY6R] QSL RU9CZD ---> With immediate effect G3SWH is the QSL manager for RU9CZD. As Igor is not a member of the RSGB, paper cards are only available direct with adequate return postage. "Those logs that I have available have been uploaded to LoTW and Club Log, and there is also a log search at www.g3swh.org.uk/ru9czd.html". [TNX G3SWH] VP8SGI & VP8STI ---> While plans for the January 2016 VP8SGI & VP8STI DXpedition to South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands [425DXN 1250] are "moving forward in all aspects", the Intrepid DX Group's team has annouced the "operating strategy which will allow us to work as many unique callers as possible during each of these activations". During their voyage to South Sandwich they will access solar data e check in with the Pilots to determine which bands are currently propagating well. Then they will "select a band, possibly 20, 17 or 15 meters, and we will be QRV with one station on this band for the duration of the DXpedition. In addition, during our final 24 hours of QRV from each island, we will announce and only accept contacts from new-first time stations on this selected band". So far they have raised $105,000 towards their goal of raising $215,000, and "would welcome additional support from the many DX Clubs around the globe". See http://www.intrepid-dx.com/vp8 for detailed information. [TNX N6PSE] YB8RW/P ---> Din, YB8RW is continuing his IOTA DXpedition Tour until around 25 May.
