DXCC NEWS ---> T6SM (Afghanistan, operations beginning 14 August 2012 to
current) has been approved for DXCC credit. [TNX NC1L]

QSL GALLERY ---> The large collection of QSL cards on Les Nouvelles DX's
web site has been updated. Sixteen different galleries include 11,547 cards
for the ten Most Wanted DXCC Entities (2003-12), the 61 deleted DXCC
Entities, obsolete prefixes, stations from Maghreb from 1945 to 1962,
Allied Forces stations in Germany (1945-69), special stations commemorating

[TNX F6AJA]

QSL ZC4LI ---> Phil, G3SWH has uploaded to both LoTW and Club Log all the
logs that he has been able to find for 5B4/G0LII, 5B4AHA, C4C, G0LII, G7G,
G8G, M0ADU, MX0ADU and ZD8LII. Logsearches for these calls are available on
www.g3swh.org.uk. The late Steve Hodgson, ZC4LI was not an RSGB member, and
paper QSLs are only available direct (by traditional mail or via the OQRS
facility on Phil's website). "I am still working on the log for ZC4LI",
Phil says, "as it consists of several hundred individual files in a variety
of different formats and it is taking a lot of time to convert it to a
single format. It should be available in a few weeks time". [TNX G3SWH]

VK5CE IOTA ACTIVITY FOR 2014 ---> "Thoughts are now turning to 2014
activity", Craig VK5CE says. "Basically I should be able to do in 2014 what
I have done in 2013 - namely a rare, remote and isolated IOTA by myself
(similar to this year's OC-255) and a less rare but still wanted IOTA
packaged into a DXpedition/family vacation (similar to this year's OC-261).
It all depends on individual and club sponsorship to offset the costs. I'm
letting people be involved in the decision making process by inviting
everyone to visit http://vkiota.blogspot.com.au/"

YW5RYL ---> The 7-10 November activity from Los Roques (SA-035) [425DXN
1173] has been postponed until further notice owing to circumstances beyond
