OH0 ACTIVE ON 160/80 METERS & WARC BANDS
Callsign: OG0A
Dates: January 3 through January 13, 2014
Following the success of recent low-band operations by Z81X and OF9X, closely on
the heels of Santa Claus and capitalizing on the current season of almost total
darkness in Northern Europe, a sub-group of those two teams will be heading to
Aland Islands to activate OG0A on low bands and WARC bands.
The OH0X contest site will be used as the base camp with 160M slopers for the US
and Japan and a 2-L 80M beam atop a 42-meter (140ft) rotating tower. Main
activity will be on CW, but SSB/RTTY will also be used occasionally.
Operators: Mari, OH2FPK (YL); Rami, OH2BCI; Martti, OH2BH; Pertti, OH2PM and
Pekka, OH2TA.
OG0A QSL via OH2BH
This operation is dedicated to the Youth On The Air (YOTA) summer camp due to be
organized in Finland from July 15 through July 22, 2014 with two young YLs -
Mari, OH2FPK and Kati, OH2FKX - in charge. They will be hosting fifteen (15)
young European teams from the same number of countries acquainting themselves
with the many faces of Amateur Radio: presentations, competitions, visits to
radio stations, workshops, ARDF etc. at the height of the Finnish summer
season. The activity is sanctioned by IARU Region 1 and supported by the
European Union.
See <http://www.ham-yota.eu/> and <http://www.qrz.com/db/OH2FPK>
All OQRS QSL requests for OF9X and OG0A with donations will be directed to
cover the costs
of this healthy youth activity in Finland. You can OQRS OF9X and OG0A
respectively via their QRZ.com page.

brand
new 5 band Spiderbeam). He also states [edited], "Additionally, I
will
put up some traveling wave V-beam antennas to USA and EU. We will
also
try some low band activity, but due to poor soil conductivity I
expect
not too much apart from extremely low noise levels (closest
electricity
wall outlet is 80 km away). Between January 16-22nd, we will move to
the
Kololi area where we will try some serious Low Band stuff based on a
sea
mounted vertical, together with dipoles and the V-beam for the high
bands."
See QRZ.com for QSL info.
C6, BAHAMAS. John, 9H5G, will once again be active as 9H5G/C6A from

activating
the following groups: NA-001 Great Bahama Bank group, NA-113 36.6%
South
Bahamas group, NA-054 Berry Islands and NA-048 Bimini Islands. Some
of
these are rarer than others, but since I will be traveling by boat, I
am
required to validate NA-054 and NA-048 through the IOTA Committee. I
also hope to activate some islands that are not on the list, even
although
they seem to qualify (Hogsty Reef, Melita Cay). I hope to have more
infor-
mation on this soon." Watch QRZ.com for updates. QSL via LoTW, eQSL
or
direct to Buzz, NI5DX.

be
away for the festive season and will be back in C9 country on 13
January
2014." After the upgrades, he states that he will be active on the
following

as
C91J and C91B, respectively. John informs OPDX that their "ten day
C91J
and C91B DXpedition (earlier this month) was such a success (and
really
enjoyable) that we have negotiated with the owner of the sea-view
cabin
we stayed in, to go back for another ten days. We will be in
Mozambique
tomorrow 28th December through 6th January. We will be taking more
antennas
this time, specifically...resonant antennas on 40/17/12, so we will be
able
to use the amplifier on these bands, which we were not able to do on
our
last trip. So, 40 - 6 meters, SSB, CW and we will attempt the digital
modes
and RTTY also." Remember, you can see pictures from Beth on QRZ.com
under
C91B. QSL only direct to PO Box 102303, Meerensee, 3901 SOUTH AFRICA

Modes CW/SSB.
FR/T, TROMELIN (Press Release)[edited]: "Hi friends -- Most of the
DXers
consider entities as check boxes to tick once the country is worked
and
confirmed. That's the game! However, we hope to bring you a lot more
than
just a simple check mark as you discover our next destination...
Let's
talk about the 9th most wanted DXCC entity according to the Clublog
statis-
tics, an empty box for 75% of the amateur radio community.
Tromelin, as well as Glorioso, Juan de Nova, Europa, belongs to the
‘Eparses’, a French word to name these small islands scattered around
Madagascar. These French territories are administered by the TAAF
(Terres
Australes et Antarctiques Françaises). Their access is strictly
controlled
and regulated in particular for ecological reasons. Tromelin is the
smallest
one (1 square km) and the human impact is all the more sensitive.
That's
the only island where there are no French military troops and only 2
agents
of the TAAF are posted there continuously.
The last operation took place in 2000. A 4 men team made 50,000
contacts
with the callsign FR/F6KDF/T. No authorization has been given ever
since.
2014 will be the 60th anniversary of the 1st hamradio activity from
Tromelin. The operator was Marc, FB8BK/T.
Today, after some successful collaborative work with the TAAF
authorities,
we are proud to announce that we received our landing permission and
got
the green light to conduct an amateur radio operation on this remote
island.
We'll be active on Tromelin from October 30th to November 10th,
2014.
6 operators have been allowed to stay of the island. They have been
selected
for their experience and all six are ready to face the challenge. The
team
is made up of Seb/F5UFX, Michel/FM5CD, Flo/F5CWU, Eric/F5SIH,
Franck/F4AJQ,
and Fred/F5ROP.
The request is huge and we are conscious of this. For this reason, we
are
working hard in order to prepare our operation in depth. Some places in
the
world will have short openings and we’ll do our best to exploit these
short
moments with proper planning adjusted with the help of pilots.
The coming months will be devoted to the search of sponsors. We
already
have part of the equipment but partnership with equipment suppliers
will
be essential. On the other hand, we will contact foundations, clubs,
organi-
zations to request assistance to help us balance our budget, estimated
at
90,000 USDs, most of which is devoted to logistic costs.
Our website is online. All details regarding the progress, plans of
the DXpedition and sponsorship opportunities will be accessible
through
dedicated pages.... http://www.tromelin2014.com
We will regularly keep updating you until our departure.

OF9, FINLAND (SANTA QRT). From the Offices of Santa Claus, Lapland,
Finland
-- OF9X SANTA WENT QRT WEDNESDAY, DEC.25 AT 07 UTC -- This year,
Santa
Claus of Amateur Radio fame was somewhat different than in the past.
A
total of fifteen (15) radio operating elves and their support
personnel
brought Santa and Christmas cheer to ham families in a very special
way,
with several added elements to highlight the Festive Season. Not only
were some 21.000 QSOs uploaded to ClubLog but associated with these
QSOs
were many interesting occasions when Santa was in personal contact
with
children all across the world. Those are moments to be treasured!
Of those 21.000 QSOs, a sizable proportion were made on CW as well
as
on low bands, utilizing state-of-the-art remote technology of Radio
Arcala,
OH8X. Moreover, extensive special hardware elsewhere was employed to
add
to highly dedicated operators in the Far North. Everyone was
determined
to push their personal Christmas envelope to its limit.
Santa would like to summarize your eligibility for the Santa Claus
(CW) Award which you can order by E-mail at <of9x@sral.fi>. You
can
check your QSOs at <http://qrz.com/db/OF9X>.
1: You have a QSO with OF9X on SSB & CW - also 2012 Santa QSOs
count.
2: You have only one 2013 QSO with OF9X - here correct passwords
from
the Christmas Puzzle at qrz.com would compensate.
Additionally, you can A:) order a Bureau card, B:) direct airmail
QSL
cards, and C:) a direct Award and QSL cards through ClubLog's OQRS
facility.
See again the QRZ.com re: OF9X....
Thank you for contacting Santa on many modes and bands during
Christmas
2013. Hopefully we will meet again next year.

IRC REDEMPTION ETC... QSL Manager Phil, G3SWH, reports: "Hi gang --
Just
a cautionary note for those of you who still use IRCs. With effect
from
1st January 2014 and in common with most other UK based QSL managers,
I
will *NOT* be accepting IRCs for payment for return postage. They
are
just too much hassle. OQRS and US dollars are much preferred and
easier
to handle. Please take a look at <http://www.g3swh.org.uk/postage.html>
which has been in place for about six months. In that time, I have
received probably less than 10 of the new, 2017 expiry IRCs.....
73 and Happy New Year to you all"

SOUTHEAST ASIAN TOUR. Toshi, JA8BMK, will activate two DXCC entities
during the first two months of the new year. Activity will be holiday
style using a HEX beam/wire antennas/Inv.Vee. Operations will be on
160-10
meters. Toshi informs OPDX that the modes will be CW and SSB, not
sure
about the Digital (says may be not). He will use a K2 with a 500w
amp.
QSL via JA8BMK, by the Bureau or direct (see QRZ.com). His tentative
schedule (Starting/Ending dates are flexible) and callsigns are as
follows:
January 15-30th - Callsign is XW8BM; from Vientiane, Laos.
February 15th-March 2nd (possibly 25th) - Callsign is XV2BM; from
Nha Trang (eastcost of South China Sea),
Vietnam.
MORE INFO FROM JA8BMK (Just before going to print!)[edited]: "I
will
leave Japan for Vientiane via China on Jan. 11, 2014, and I am
scheduled
to receive the license at PTT office. The thing is the location to
operate.
Vientiane is not a exceptional, noisy city and it seems very difficult
to
put up a vertical antennas for low bands. I will spend a few days to
find
a good location for antenna installation. Also, I must explain to the
hotel
people about what amateur radio is. Sometime, they do not give the
per-
mission to visitors as they have no knowledge on amateur radio.
However,
I succeeded in 3D (Fiji) land by explaining about BBC which I like to
listen to.
Regarding my antennas, I left them in Nepal. They are KIO Hex beam
and
wire/vertical and coax cable for the next operation. This time I
bought
another Hex beam from DX Engineering. This is a very good antenna and
seems strong. But the problem is that it takes a long time and I
modified
it so that Airline company (China Eastern) will accept the size which
is only 158cm total dimension X+Y+Z as maximum. They will accept two
of
23kg per person, I got 92kg for the luggage with two persons, my wife and
I. The 158cm as a total dimension is now popular. The longest length
is 96cm after modifying and I made a wooden box for them(28x30x100cm
O.D.).
KIO Hex beam seems cheaper and lighter, and simpler to assemble
compared
with DX Eng. Hex beam. For DXpedition, I like to recommend KIO.
The license fee is not cheap in XW (may be, in XV, too) as well as
9N.
The fee should be calculated according to how many bands, how much
power,
what frequency, what mode and how many days. These factors can be
multi-
plied. I heard in XW PTT office that one Russian guy payed over 2,500
US dollar before!
My schedule is not sure after XW operation. But I will be in
Indo-China
until Mar. 28th, 2014, and will try to visit some other entity if I have
time.
Anyway, I am traveling with my wife, I will not be so free as I must
take
care of her."
T6, AFGHANISTAN. T6EUPOL is the official ham radio station of the
"European
Union Police" (EUPOL) Mission in Afghanistan. The station is operated
by
Janusz, home callsign: AK4JK (aka T6/ZS5ADU). No QSNs have been listed
yet
on the DXCluster networks. QSL only direct to the AK4JK postal
address
together with the SAE plus 2 USDs for postage.
T8, PALAU. Masa, JN3MXT, will be active as T88MX from "VIP Guest
Hotel"
(Free Radio Room) on Koro Island (OC-009) between January 25-30th.
Activity will be on the HF bands using mainly SSB and RTTY. QSL via

TY, BENIN (Update). Wim, ON6DX (ex-ON4CIT), who was active as 5V7TH
recently from Togo, announced this past week he finally received his
Benin callsign TY1TT from the telecom authorities. He states, "Was
not
easy, took me the longest time and most expensive ever to get a
callsign.
Now I can plan flights and lodging beginning 2014 in Benin." No
specific
dates were mentioned yet. Activity will be from Grand PoPo and
operations
will be on 20/17/15/12/10/6 meters using CW, SSB and RTTY. Wim did
mention,
"Clublog is a fine tool, but this year: OQRS QSL: Yes, but... But no
more
clublog leaderboards." Read his reason and look for updates at:
VQ9, CHAGOS (Update). Last week we reported that Jim, ND9M, is once
again
active as VQ9JC from Diego Garcia. Jim informed OPDX that he arrived on
the
island a month ago, but he had to get his license renewed; it expired
a
couple days before he landed. Jim states, "Normally, I get it renewed
within one business day, but this time there was an administrative
hiccup
that led to a month-long delay. The British military officer in
charge
of the island called the 'Brit Rep' was new to his post here. He
read
all the can's and cannot's of the job, and the legal info about
issuing
ham licenses says that tickets are signed by the Territorial
Commissioner
who's back in the U.K. The Brit Rep finally got the official word
last
week that issuing authority was delegated to the local office, and my
license was signed the next day. This was the first time in the 15
years
I've been coming here that anything like that had happened. In fact,
licensing had been so smooth here that in 2008, I walked in to the
Brit
Rep's office without an appointment and left 45 minutes later with
not
only a signed renewal for my regular VQ9JC license but also a special
temporary license for my VQ98JC operation. I wonder if anyone else
can
claim receiving two licenses fully authorized without previous notice
that fast! Anyway, I'm still operating Field Day style from the
covered
picnic table at the park which has AC power and dozens of gecko
lizards
chasing the bugs. The table is about 30 feet from the wall of the
jungle,
and this weekend I'll try to thread a 135-foot OCF dipole through all
the
trees in the jungle so that I can not only leave the antenna up but
also
have multi-band capability. If I hoist the antenna where it can be
seen,
I would stand a very good chance of it being quickly removed as the
150
pound fishing line that I use to secure the antenna and the copper
wire
are both precious commodities here. The OCF dipole doesn't work on
15m,
30m, or 60m, even with a matchbox, so I'll put up separate dipoles
for
15 and 30 and feed those two and the OCF to a switch. I don't know
yet
if I'll put up a 60m dipole. The 80m OCF is going to be a big enough
project just to get it hoisted to only 25 feet; the jungle's pretty
thick! I'll also be putting up a 20m dipole and maybe a 30m dipole as
well on the ship. Obviously, I sign /MM during any contacts made from
the ship as I did earlier this year. Contacts with me as /MM aren't
valid for DXCC of course, but SKCC ops can count them if my ship's
QTH
is near the island. The rig is an FT-857D. I'll be running 100 watts
most of the time, but I'm expecting to do some QRP work from here
too.
Most of my operating will be CW as usual (with a cootie most times),
but I'll be on SSB occasionally. Also, I'm a rookie when it comes to
digital comms, but I'm hoping to get my Rigblaster and FLDigi
software
configured to do some PSK and RTTY work. While on board the ship, I
use
an Icom IC-760 that I have set up in my service shop. I feed the coax
through a helicopter control center that's directly above my shop. My
shipboard antennas are about 115 feet above the water line. I don't
have
internet connectivity when I'm at my operating QTH on the island, so
I
obviously can't help with real-time QSY requests or the ever present
'EU PSE' when I'm calling for NA & SA stations." OPDX asked Jim
about
the status of the club station, possibly using a special VQ prefix
for
2014, activity on the satellites and if he would attend the 2014
Dayton
HamVention, and he replied, "Yeah, the ham club station is gone
forever
unfortunately. The log periodic has been grounded and dismantled, and
everything in the shack has been turned back over to the Navy. I'm
here
six months out of the year of course, but once Larry, VQ9LA left
three
years ago, there was no one reliably present during my off times.
When
the Navy's MWR office personnel made a routine visit, they found
nobody
there since I was Stateside, so they decided that the club was no
longer
in use and took what they thought were appropriate steps. By the time
I
got back to the island and worked my way up the chain of command, the
deal had been sealed. And yes, I'm working the satellites out here
although
there aren't many ops to work. I'll be on the birds when I get home
again
next year. I don't know yet if my XYL Cori (KK4CGA) and I will be at
Dayton
this coming May or not. We're hoping to go to New England for the
ARRL
Centennial in July, and we'll likely do only one trip. My assignment
schedule has me returning to the ship a few days days before the
national
convention, and I'm trying to work things out with the guy that's
here
when I'm off ship for him to stay a little longer so that I can
attend.
He hasn't given me a firm answer yet though..... My plan for 2014 is
to
get VQ94JC issued for sometime during the second half of the year.
The
local licensing office has no requirements toward my getting a ticket
other than having one already issued by the FCC. My US license
expires
in April, and the FCC won't enable the renewing process until 90 days
before the expiration date, so I have to wait until early January to
do
that. If I can get the renewed license here - actually just a scanned
copy will do and my XYL will send that - I can turn that over to the
local office, and they should issue me the short-term ticket.
Emphasis
on special. It's all legal of course, but the folks in that office
are
all British military who typically do one-year tours here before
being
re-assigned, so I can never assume that the next person will
cooperate.
I'm optimistic though as I've already had 7 VQ9xJC licenses plus the
VQ975FOC ticket earlier this year, so the precedent's pretty well
estab-
lished. When I started doing the VQ9xJC bit in 2007, I did it just
for
fun and I thought the WPX chasers would like it. I really didn't
expect
to still be doing it after so many years. Now I'm looking ahead at
rounding
out the decade of annual special callsigns and thinking about what
special
prefix variation to initiate after the 10th one!" QSL via ND9M.

CQ to Realign Publications, Launch New CQ Plus Digital Supplement
Hicksville, NY (December 23, 2013) -- CQ Communications, Inc. today
announced plans to realign its roster of publications and to launch
an
exciting new online supplement to its flagship magazine, CQ Amateur
Radio.
"The hobby radio market is changing," said CQ Communications
President
and Publisher Dick Ross, K2MGA, "and we are changing what we do and
how
we do it in order to continue providing leadership to all segments of
the radio hobby." CQ Communications is currently the only publisher
in
the United States serving the broad radio hobby, from broadcast band
DXing to amateur radio moonbounce and satellite communications. CQ
itself
has been amateur radio's leading independent voice for seven
decades.
Effective with the February 2014 issue of CQ, said Ross, content
from
the magazine's three sister publications, Popular Communications, CQ
VHF
and WorldRadio Online, will be incorporated into CQ's digital edition
as
a supplement to be called "CQ Plus." With this change, hobby radio
enthus-
iasts of all types will be able to go to a single source - CQ - for
articles
on the broader aspects of hobby radio, from shortwave listening and
scanner
monitoring to personal two-way services and Internet radio, as well
as
amateur radio. Richard Fisher, KI6SN, currently Editor of both
Popular
Communications and WorldRadio Online, will be Editor of CQ Plus.
"Our primary audience is ham radio operators," explained Ross, "but
very few hams began their radio involvement as amateurs. Most of us
started out as shortwave listeners, broadcast band DXers, CBers or
scanning enthusiasts. Many continue to be involved in many different
aspects of the radio hobby in addition to amateur radio."
"By consolidating four specialized publications into one," Ross
continued,
"we will be better able to keep these multidimensional readers informed
on
all aspects of the radio hobby while simultaneously exposing those who
are
not hams to all the excitement and opportunities that amateur radio has
to
offer. We see this as a win-win for all of our readers and our
advertisers,
who will now be able to reach a wider and more diverse audience."
The expanded material will be an integral part of the digital edition
of
CQ, and will be included as part of a standard digital subscription.
Each
month's digital edition will simply continue beyond where the print
edition
ends, offering supplemental material on all aspects of hobby radio
communi-
cation and will include selected columns carried over from the other
magazines. The added digital content will make full use of the
multimedia
opportunities presented by digital publications.
Current subscriptions to Popular Communications, CQ VHF and
WorldRadio
Online will be converted to CQ subscriptions - and receive CQ Plus at
no
additional charge! Details will be posted on each magazine
website.
There's no need to wait to see the great variety of articles that
will
be featured each month in the new CQ and CQ Plus. A preview of the
February
issue's Table of Contents is available right now on the CQ website at

CQ DX MARATHON ---> The CQ DX Marathon (www.dxmarathon.com) is a year-long
DX hunt, with participants competing to see who can work the greatest
number of countries ("entities") and CQ zones during the calendar year. The
2014 edition will start at 00.00 UTC on 1 January and will end at 23.59 UTC
on 31 December. For 2014, the CQ Marathon is introducing a third class of

CQ DX MARATHON ---> The CQ DX Marathon (www.dxmarathon.com) is a year-long
DX hunt, with participants competing to see who can work the greatest
number of countries ("entities") and CQ zones during the calendar year. The
2014 edition will start at 00.00 UTC on 1 January and will end at 23.59 UTC

GRANITE ISLAND (OC-228) ---> Paul, VK5PAS was active for a few hours from
Granite Island on 27 December. Those who were not able to work him during
his QRP operation, will have a second chance next year, as Craig, VK5CE has

for any T3 callsigns from the 1980s".
