[TNX N6PSE] IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO ---> The Northern California DX Foundation has published a Special Edition of the its Newsletter consisting of an article by legendary DXer and DXpeditioner Martti Laine, OH2BH on working DXpedition pileups. Martti's article, entitled "It Takes Two to Tango", reflects Martti's lifetime of DXpedition experience, including the activation of 12 all-time new entities, and sets forth his thoughtful advice and reflections on how best to handle the pileups of DXers calling from Europe as well as other parts of the world. In today's environment of stations calling out of turn and deliberate QRM, Martti's advice could not be more timely and is destined to improve and enhance the DX experience for all.

[TNX W0GJ] S79C ---> The S79C team (EA3NT, EI9FBB, MM0NDX, PA3EWP, SP5APW and VK5CE) logged 21,541 QSOs with 9,808 uniques during their 17-22 November activity from Coetivy Island (AF-119). "We had a clear vision of what our goals were, we always intended to maximise the number of uniques to give this new IOTA to as many as possible", Dave, EI9FBB reports. "We also realised that regular S7 was most wanted on the US West Coast, where we maximised our antenna farm to emphasise into this area during limited openings. In total, we worked 6,660 North American stations netting 31% of all QSOs". The logs have been uploaded to Club Log and the OQRS has been enabled. Hopefully "the initial QSL mailing" will begin in early/mid January, just in time for the IOTA Annual Update. Logs will be uploaded to LoTW in the coming days. Read the latest press release on www.af119new.com. VK0ER ---> "After more three years of planning and more than a year of development, the core operating equipment has left California for the collection point on the East Coast. The equipment includes all eight radio stations, all the coax, living items, scientific lab and supplies, and landing and emergency gear. The 31 cases and other items filled five pallets, which are now traveling by truck to Palmyra, VA, to be combined with the tents, antennas, generators, bunk beds and other equipment already collected there. On 7 December the entire collection will be loaded in a container that will sail for Cape Town, South Africa, awaiting the team's arrival around 1 March 2016". VK9WA ---> The DXpedition to the Willis Islands went QRT around 19.00 UTC on 23 November with almost 62,000 QSOs in their logs, and a noteworthy balance for the three main target areas (AS, EU and NA).
