CQ NEWS (International News Column to Debut in April). Richard, W2VU,
Editor of CQ Amateur Radio, sent out the following [edited]:
"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 29, 2013

CQ Adds International News Column, Names AA6TS International Editor
(Hicksville, NY January 29, 2013) ­ CQ magazine will be adding a
monthly international news column as of its April edition, magazine
editor Rich Moseson, W2VU, announced today. It will be coordinated by
new International Editor Tom Smerk, AA6TS.
'A growing number of our readers and our fans on social media are
from outside the United States,' noted Moseson, 'particularly with the
addition of our digital edition, which eliminates the high cost of
international postage.'
'We'll be calling the column 'CQ World Wide,' ' Moseson continued,
and our goals will be to both better serve our international audience
and to bring more news of ham radio activities around the world to our
prime reader base in the U.S.'
Smerk lives in Dulzura, California and has been active in ham radio
off-and-on since 1988. For the past 25 years, he has taught business
information technology for the San Diego Community College District.
He is also a professional musician and formerly taught music as well.
Tom enjoys 2-meter communications to keep in touch with friends during
his commute to and from work; and after work, he can usually be found
on the HF bands enjoying both voice and digital communications. Tom has
written on various topics including business management, music and ham
radio. He is active in ARES®, SKYWARN®, RACES, California Disaster Corps
and CERT, and is a volunteer examiner as well. A committed lifelong
learner, Tom's greatest joy is helping new hams enjoy the hobby.
Hams with news of events and activities outside the United States are
urged to contact Tom at <aa6ts@cq-amateur-radio.com>."

D4, CAPE VERDE (Correction/Update). Mats, SM7GIB, will be active as
D44TIB from Cape Verde (AF-086) until February 7th (not between February
25th and March 8th). Activity will be holiday style using a K3 into a
wire vertical for 160-10 meters. Look for him to be on the radio in the
early mornings and evenings - on CW. QSL via his home callsign.

TRIATHLON THIS WEEKEND (Also See OPDX.1095). Just a reminder that the
"1st Triathlon DX Contest" will be held this weekend. A triathlon is a
multi sport event involving the completion of three continuous and
sequential endurance events. The word "triathlon" is of Greek origin
from t?e?? or trei (three) and a???? or athlos (contest). While many
variations of the sport exist, triathlon, in its ham form, involves the
three most popular modes RTTY, SSB and CW.
Triathletes compete for the biggest score in its Radio Amateur variation.
Amateurs around the world will try to be the Ironham (the winner in
original Triathlon called Ironman) and contact other amateurs in as
many countries as possible and as many Greeks amateurs as possible...
