CQ WW DX CONTEST ---> The rules have been completely rewritten for 2013 and
can be found at www.cqww.com/rules.htm - read carefully!

K6VVA/KL7 ---> Rick announced he was making an attempt (the third one!) at
operating from Barter Island (NA-050) on 8-10 July [425DXN 1157]. However,
"due to increased unexpected solar disturbances, Auroral Oval, potential
NA-050 fog and now the likelihood of departure delays and missed
connections due to the re-routing of many plane flights down to the San
Jose Airport resulting from the unfortunate plane crash at nearby SFO
airport, this trip is being postponed again. Plans are to re-schedule a
fourth attempt at NA-050 in the next 45 days, but I will only make a
posting just before boarding the first plane". [TNX K6VVA]

P5 PROJECT ---> The BBC has interviewed Paul Ewing, N6PSE regarding the
efforts of the Intrepid DX Group to operate from DPRK (North Korea):

WRTC2014 STATION TEST ---> The WRTC2014 Organizing Committee will be
conducting the final capability and training test for the WRTC stations and
volunteers during this weekends' IARU HF World Championship. Twenty-five
stations (AA3K, AD1T, AK1W, K1BG, K1GQ, K1RX, K1ZD, K6ND, K9ES, KE1J, N1JD,
N1SV, N2NT, N3AD, NB1N, NI1L, NJ1F, W1CLA, W1EQ, W1HH, W1MA, W1SJ, W1UE,

see http://www.wrtc2014.org/competition/2013-station-test/.
In order to make sure all of the competitor stations are equal, the
WRTC2014 organizers will compare the signals of the test stations by using
the Reverse Beacon Network. All of the 25 stations will be on CW on certain
bands and times with their beams in a specific direction: the schedule is
at http://www.wrtc2014.org/station-test-schedule-for-signal-testing/

Z80ID ---> This special callsign was used on 9 July by Massimo, Z81B and
Diya, Z81D to celebrate the Republic of South Sudan's Independence Day. QSL
