DX CLUB ---> On 21 July the Chiltern DX Club (www.cdxc.org.uk), the UK DX Foundation elected its Committee for the coming year: G3NUG (President), G3SVL (Chairman), G3USR (Treasurer), G4LDL (Secretary), G3RFX (Digest Editor), G4AXX, G4FKA and G4PFF. CQ CONTESTS NEW DEADLINE ---> Participants in CQ-sponsored contests will now have five days after the end of a contest to either upload or mail their logs. "This is the first step in an effort to speed the processing and reporting of CQ contest results", CQ magazine Editor Rich Moseson (W2VU) explained, "and it is one more step in our ongoing efforts to help ensure the integrity of submitted logs. Shortening the deadline reduces the time available for those who might be tempted to 'cleanse' their logs after the contest". However, "we realize that in some cases circumstances may not allow a timely submission", CQ WW Contest Director Bob Cox (K3EST) says. "Requests for an extension must be received before the log submission deadline by sending an e-mail to questions[at] cqww.com". The change takes effect with this year's CQ World Wide DX Contest and will apply to all future CQ-sponsored contests. CY9M & IOTA CONTEST ---> CY9M, St. Paul Island (www.cy9m.com) will participate in the IOTA contest this weekend. Their contest operation will be limited to 20 metres only, SSB and CW. The contest log will be merged with the regular DX operation, so there is no need to work them twice. The CY9M QSL card will be used for confirmation, the log will be uploaded to LoTW and submitted to the IOTA Contest manager. V8 & 6 METRES ---> The Magic Band is coming back to Brunei after a silence of more than ten years. The V84SMD expedition (11-23 November) has been granted permission to be active on 6 metres, and will have a dedicated antenna. See http://www.mdxc.org/v84smd/ + SILENT KEYS + Paul Caboche (3B8AD, ex VQ8AS and VQ8AD) passed away on 24 July. Born in 1918, he was the oldest amateur radio operator in Mauritius and the first Chairman of the Mauritius Amateur Radio Society (1967-93). Other recently reported Silent Keys include Sergey V. Zhuchkov (R9WW), Charles D. Shinn (W5PG) and George S. Badalian (EK6GB), a doyen of amateur radio in his country and the President of the Federation of Radiosport of the Republic of Armenia (FRRA). =========================== *** 4 2 5 D X N E W S *** ******* QSL ROUTES ******* =========================== Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH Direttore Responsabile I2VGW =================================================================== CALL MANAGER CALL MANAGER CALL MANAGER =================================================================== 2O0PLA N2RJ EN1IFF UR3IQT OH0X OH2TA 2O0ZJA 2W0ZJA EO73U UT7UU OM90ZSE OM3PA 2O12L G4WNF EY8JA JE1CAQ ON85RCL ON3AR 2O12W GW1FKY FP/VA2WA VA2WA OS8A ON8VK 3W2TXR JA2TXR FP/VE3DZ VE3DZ OZ1HQ OZ1ACB 3Z15POW SP9MDY FR/TU5KG F4DXW OZ5AQC JA5AQC 3Z15POWODZ SQ6PLH GB4GBO G1LAT PI4HQ PA3CAL 4JR0HYT JR0HYT GO0DEQ GM0DEQ PS1J PY1AA 4O60GBP 4O3Z GO0GMN GM0GMN R100PZ RK3DYB 5B4AJC UA3DX GO1VDP M0URX R1150N RK1TWW 5N7M OM3CGN GO2HQ M0OXO RI0NZ UA0LCZ 5P5J F5LMJ GO3SG GI3SG S50HQ S54G 5R8FL G3SWH GO3UOF GW3UOF SA6G/7 SM6CUK 5R8UI IZ8CCW GO4BKG GW4BKG SK9HQ SM6JSM 7Q7BP G3MRC GO4DOH GI4DOH SN0HQ SP7DQR 7S5A SM4DDS GO4RCG M0OXO SO1EKO DL1EKO 7X5QB EA7FTR GO4WZG GM4WZG SU9VB UA4WHX 7Z1HL DJ9ZB GO7AXB GI7AXB SV0XAF/8 HB9EBC 7Z1SJ EA7FTR GO7VJR M0OXO SV5/OK5MM OK2JS 7Z1TT NI5DX HB9HQ HB9JOE SV8YAT DL3YAT 9A0D 9A1CKL HC1MD K8LJG SV9/LZ3FN LZ1PM 9A20HQ 9A3JB HD081QRC HC1JQ SW8LR HA0NAR 9A22MINE 9A1MB HF15POW SP6KEO T6MO K9GY 9A8BEN DO1BEN HF15POWODZ SP9PRR T6SS DL4ST 9A8CW UA6LCW HF215MD SQ3MVE T88YT K4YT 9A8TQF HB9TQF HK1MW K4AMW TM0BI ON4ZD 9A8ZRS S57L HL0HQ DS2AGH TM2BZH F6CNM 9A9DX N2RIT HS0AC HS0ZFZ TM82L F5MSS 9H1KZ G2BKZ IC8R IC8OZM TM89SARA F6ICG 9H3BD EA2BD IJ7T IK7WDS TM9LF F0GWK 9K9HQ 9K2HN JG8NQJ/JD1 JA8CJY [d] TO2D HB9EOU 9M2DVR JF3DVR JG8NQJ/JD1 JG8NQJ [b] TX0HF F4FJH 9N1AA N4AA JW2US LA2US TY2BP IK2IQD 9Y4HQ DF2RG JY9ET M0OXO UE40MD UA4LU A25JK WB6OJB K4C WP4NPC UE95K RV3YR AT1HQ VU2PTT KH2L W3HNK V31JQ HR2J BN0HQ BM2JCC LR5F LU4AA V31MO W5MRM C37NL C37URA LR5H LU4AA V31MX K0BCN CM8AKD EA7FTR LR7D LU4AA V31WH W5HNS CO2HQ EB7DX LR7F LU4AA V73NS W3HNK CO2IR EB7DX LR7H LU4AA VP2MSJ W5JAY CO8LY EA7ADH LU7EOP EA6SK VP2MUQ W5JAY CQ73I CT1EHX LX/OP50LX ON4CHN VU2HBC DL7BC CR6K CT1ILT LX75HQ LX2A VX2I VE2CQ CX1AA W3HNK LY0HQ LY8O W4O N4YDU CY9M M0URX LZ7HQ LZ1BJ WE8A/KH0 JF3MYU D2QR RW6HS MJ/OT9Z ON3NT WH0AU JP3WAU D3AA UA1QV MJ0CFW M0CFW XM31812 VE3ATX DA0HQ DL5AXX MO0ASP MJ0ASP XR3HQ CE3AA E51TAI N6NB MO0CEF DL2LFH YE9IOTA YB9BU E51YNB N6NB MO0FAL MU0FAL YF8RIM EA7FTR EF1HQ EA4URE MO0RRE MI0RRE YP0WFF YO2KQT EF2HQ EA4URE MO6GWR MW6GWR YQ0BIKE YO6KNE EF5HQ EA4URE MU/OT9Z ON3NT YR0HQ YO9FNP EF7HQ EA4URE MU0NMS/P LX1NO YT2HQ YU1SRS EG5FPN EA7HBC MW0REN DJ6OI YU100SAF YU5CW EH1FGS EA1DST MW0ZZK EB7DX YW2OM YV5AJ EI80IRTS EI4GXB NQ2A NP3O ZF1A K6AM EJ4GRC EI8DD OD5IARU EA5BYP ZL2WL NI5DX EL2DT EL2FM OE1A OE3KAB ZW100AF PY1MT EM0MFF UX7MA OF50AD OH6AD ZZ7HQ PT2AA 9M4DXX P.O.
