KH8 - KC0W's "Worldwide DXpedition" [425DXN 1289] is expected to start on 12 April from Tutuila (OC-045), American Samoa. Look for KH8/KC0W to operate CW only on 160-6 metres; he will run 500 watts to vertical antennas over salt water. "I will start off by operating from a beach the east side of the island", Tom says. "Signals to EU/JA/VK will probably be attenuated due to the tall mountains running down the center of KH8. After a month or two I will then relocate to another beach on the west side of the island specifically for EU/JA/VK". Length of stay is not known, as he announced that "the determining factor will be when the pileups die down". Refrain from working him twice on the same band, as "any station trying to dupe QSO me will have all past QSOs deleted & will be blacklisted". QSL via KC0W, direct only ("all QSL cards sent to my PO Box while I'm on this DXpedition will be answered by an assistant"). He will not use LoTW.

[TNX M0OXO] =========================== *** 4 2 5 D X N E W S *** **** GOOD TO KNOW ... **** =========================== Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH Direttore Responsabile I2VGW C5WP ---> Pedro, ON7WP (C5WP) has had to cancel his announced trip [425DXN 1299] as there was no guarantee that his luggage, including radio equipment, would make it on the flights from Belgium to The Gambia via Germany. [TNX DX World] DXCC DELETION OF KINGMAN REEF ---> The ARRL Awards Committee has voted to delete Kingman Reef (KH5) from the DXCC List, effective 29 March 2016. Kingman Reef will be added to the Deleted Entities List on 29 March 2016. The total number of entities on the List will drop from 340 to 339. The deletion process is described in DXCC Rules Section II DXCC List Criteria, Part 5(a) Deletion Criteria: "An entity may be deleted from the List if it no longer satisfies the criteria under which it was added. However, if the entity continues to meet one or more currently existing rules, it will remain on the List." With respect to the previous paragraph's text, Kingman Reef's original addition by virtue of separate administration has changed (separate administration by the U.S. Navy has been removed), and the reef does not meet any current criteria to remain on the list. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service administers Kingman Reef and Palmyra Island. The reef is too close to Palmyra Island to count as a separate entity. The reef is now considered part of the Palmyra/Jarvis DXCC entity. DXCC members who have affirmed credit with Kingman Reef will see their current entity totals drop by one on their DXCC awards - including on the bands and modes where Kingman Reef credit is given. They will also see their DXCC Challenge totals drop commensurately. Honor Roll status will now be attainable after confirming 330 entities on the DXCC List. [TNX NN1N] DXCC NEWS ---> P5/3Z9DX (Democratic People's Republic of North Korea, 2015 operation) and ZA/IW2JOP (Albania, all operations) have been approved for DXCC credit. Dom, 3Z9DX was in Pyongyang, North Korea "for high level talks with officials and inspectors" in anticipation of a future operation. Unexpectedly he was able to give a demonstration and be active as P5/3Z9DX for a few hours on 20 and 21 December [425DXN 1286]. He made 784 SSB QSOs mainly on 15 metres with Asian stations; logsearch, statistics and OQRS on Club Log. QSL EN7P ---> Apparently there are problems with the incoming QSL bureau, Vladimir UT1PG reports. He says that bureau cards should be requested by email (ut1pg[@]lrv.net.ua), and will be sent out "at the first opportunity". Direct cards go to P.O. Box 21, Kovel-8, 45008, Ukraine. =========================== *** 4 2 5 D X N E W S *** ******* QSL ROUTES ******* =========================== Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH Direttore Responsabile I2VGW ==================================================================== CALL MANAGER CALL MANAGER CALL MANAGER ==================================================================== 4D1R A61BK EE5TW EB5HRX RG55YG RQ7L 4H1T DU1IVT EF2A EA2OT RJ55YG RQ7L 4L2M EA7FTR EG1PEA EA1RKA RQ55YG RQ7L 4V1TL W3HNK EG1SSV EA1URV RT55YG RQ7L 4X7R 4X6OM EG5SSC EA5DDK RT73AB RL5G 4Z7T N4GNR EG7SCM EA7URM RT73AS RG3B 5B4AHL M0URX EG7SSM EA7DK RT73BB RL5G 5C5W EA5XX EI1Y EI5JQ RT73CC RL5G 5D5D EB7DX EI7M EI6HB RT73DL RL5G 5E5E W7EJ EM140Y US2YW RT73FL RL5G 5H3EE DL4ME EY8MM K1BV RT73GM RM8Y 5T4C NI5DX FS4WBS IZ1MHY RT73GP RL5G 5V7D DL9MBI FT4JA F5CWU RT73OL RL5G 5Z4/TA1HZ LZ3HI GD0A M0OXO RT73RH RL5G 7R7W 7X2VB GP0STH G4DIY RW55YG RQ7L 7S70AT SK2AT HB20AA HB9ARF RX55YG RQ7L 7U9C SM4VPZ HC5ZY HC5VF RZ55YG RQ7L 7Z1JA KE5JA HF6FIRAC SP6IEQ S0S EA2JG 7Z1SJ EA7FTR HI3CC W2CCW SN1050JPM SP1JPM 8P1W KU9C HI3TT W2CCW SN1050KJU SP9KJU 8P2K KU9C HK3TK F5CWU SN1050PKA SP3PKA 8P5A NN1N HR4/DL5YWM DL5YWM SN1050PL SP2PBM 8P6DR G3RWL HS0AC HS5NMF SN1050PMY SP1PMY 8T2BH I1HYW HZ1HZ N7RO SQ65HSC SP3LPR 9G1AA PA3ERA IO5O IK5RLP SU1SK SM5AQD 9G5GH EA5ZD IR4M I4IFL SX9C SV9COL 9H6A 9H1BT IR8P IZ8FWN T40A CO8ZZ 9K9K 9K2RA J42P SV2BXA T88IR JF1DIR 9M2SI 9M2OOO J42PIKRA SV2DSJ TC101GS TA3X 9M2TO JA0DMV J43TR SV3DCX TC3P TA3X 9M4DX JA6IDJ J8/WW2DX NR6M TC4A TA4CS 9M4SG 9M2YOT JG8NQJ/JD1 JA8CJY [d] TF3WK OZ1OM 9M6SDX direct JG8NQJ/JD1 JG8NQJ [b] TM0T F4DXW A25GF ZS6AYU JW/DL7DF DL7DF TM17CV F8FZC A61SM A61BK JW7QIA LA7QIA TM22TSF F6HRO A62A IZ8CLM KG4XP W4XP TM2PL F5HNQ A65BP UA6MF KH2KY JA1MFR TM6M F4DXW A73A A71A KL7RA N6TR TO972M FM5BH A96A A92AA KP2DX EB7DX TY2AC IZ1BZV AH0I/AH2 JF1IRW LT1F AC7DX UN3M EA7FTR B4T BA4TB LX0RL LX1KQ UP0L DL8KAC B7P BA4EG LZ1700SIP LZ1KCP UP2L UA9AB BG3ITB BG9GXM MD4K G3NKC UP55F UN7FW BW0PX BM2JCC NP2X K5WW UP9L RW6HS C4A 5B4KH NP3A WD8CW V31MA M0OXO C5FUD SP2FUD OA4SS KB6J V73NS W3HNK C5GCJ SP2GCJ OD5PY KU9C V84O V85TL C5YK ON6EG OD5ZZ NI5DX VC2A VA2WA CB1H CE1DY OE2S OE2GEN VK4KW N3SL CE2AWW N7RO OE3K OE1DIA VK9/LB1GB LA9VDA CE2SQE W3HNK OE6KIDS OE6WIG VP2EAU N1VIV CN2AA UA2FM OE9R OE9XRV VP2ETE W3HNK CN2AY DF8AN OG30OJ OH3OJ VQ5E W6RI CN2CL CT1QP OG73X OH8L WP2Z KU9C CN2CO UA2FM OH0X OH2TA XL3T VE3AT CN2PM UA2FM OP28TLV ON4CRD XU7TZG ON7PP CO8LY EA7ADH OY1DZ F5CWU XW1IC E21EIC CQ9T CT3KN P33W UA3DX XW7FG JA7FGI CR3W DL5AXX P3F M0URX YB9KA HA3JB CR5A CT1FFU P49Y AE6Y YP0IPA YO3AS CX2DK EA5GL PJ2P DL8OBQ YS3/DL5YWM DL5YWM D3YL RA4HT PJ2T W3HNK YW4D EA7JX D41CV IK2NCJ PJ4DX M0URX Z60A OH2BH DX7HQ DU7RH PJ6E KC9SNM Z68BH OH2BH E2X E20GMY PS5A PY5VC ZS9Z ZS1OIN E44YL IK2CKR [CW] PX2A PY2VM ZV2C PY2CX E44YL IK3GES [SSB] R100IA RZ5D ZW5B K3IRV E44YL IK3GES [dig] R3CA/9 UA9OBA ZY2A PP2BO EA6/EI6DX RA3R RA55YG RQ7L ZY2B PY2UD ED8T EA8CZQ RC55YG RQ7L ZZ2T PY2MNL A75GA Wlodzimierz Tomczyk, P.O.
