DIGITAL MODE MOST WANTED SURVEY ---> This srvey provides digital mode DXers worldwide the opportunity to specify which DXCC Entities they still need. "For the purposes of this survey, need is defined by you, the DXer. If you just worked a new DX entity last month and are confident of getting a confirmation, do not list it as 'needed'. However, if you worked a country three years ago and have not been able to get confirmation, you should probably check it as a 'needed' country". The survey will end on 13 May at 23:59 and can be found on http://survey.hamdocs.com/index.php/468764. MOUNT ATHOS ---> Monk Iakovos, SV2RSG has been licenced since 2015 and is active from Mount Athos. As "a permanent resident" at the Koutloumousiou Monastery, he says, he does not use /A, because "it means Alternative location of the station". QSL via SV1RP (direct). NCDXF NEWSLETTER ---> The Northern California DX Foundation's Spring 2016 Newsletter is now available at www.ncdxf.org/pages/newsletter.html. It contains articles on VP8STI & VP8SGI (South Sandwich Islands & South Georgia), K5P (Palmyra) and VK9WA (Willis Islands). PIRATE ALERT ---> 'Hassan from Baghdad' has been "pirating and bootlegging multiple calls for several years. He has been heard bootlegging the calls YI1HR, YI1H, YI1HRP and YI1HI and pirating the calls YI1BGD, YI1IRQ, YI1DZ and most recently TA7/YI1RZ. Unfortunately in Iraq there does not seem to be any enforcement to take Hassan off the air, much less do anything about the situation. Therefore let's get the word out not to work or spot Hassan who operates on 20 Meters SSB, usually around 14178-14188. In fact the best policy is to ignore him completely on the air".
