CANADA & 60 METRES ---> On 22 January, Industry Canada released  a  decision
to allow amateur radio operators to five 60m channels (5332 kHz,  5348  kHz,
5358.5 kHz, 5373 kHz and 5405 kHz)  on  a  non-interference  basis.  Amateur
stations will be restricted to telephony, data, RTTY and CW, with a  maximum
bandwidth of 2.8 kHz and a maximum effective radiated power of 100 W PEP.

DXCC NEWS ---> T6EU (Afghanistan, current operation through 3 May 2014)  and
TT8ES (Chad, previously approved for 2012 and  2013,  and  the  license  has
been extended through 28 February 2014) have been approved for DXCC  credit.
[TNX NC1L]

DXHEAT ---> DXHeat by Tobias  Wellnitz,  DH1TW  (www.dxheat.com)  is  a  new
real-time Web DX-Cluster that offers versatile filtering of incoming  spots,
a visual tool to check the current band activity into all  continents  at  a
glance, and integration  with  WebSDR.  Through  its  DX  Analytics,  DXHeat
provides meaningful statistics for amateur radio stations and their past  DX
activities.

FT5ZM ---> The FT5ZM Team reached  Amsterdam  Island  around  1  UTC  on  24
January. They were waiting offshore for the island general  to  come  aboard
and do an inspection at their 8 a.m. (3 UTC). Once this is  done,  they  can
begin to unload all the cargo onto the Zodiac and on  to  the  island.  When
the team is  ashore,  they  will  have  18  days  to  set  up,  conduct  the
DXpedition,  and  tear  down  for  departure.  See  www.amsterdamdx.org  for
updates and logsearch.

IOTA DINNER ---> The 19th Annual Islands On The Air (IOTA)  Dinner  will  be
held on Friday, 4 April  at  the  Visalia  Marriott  Convention  Center,  in
conjunction    with    the    65th        International     DX    Convention
(www.dxconvention.com). For additional  information  regarding  this  event,
please  contact  Ray   N6VR    (rayn6vr[@]cableone.net)    or    Will  WC6DX
(wc6dx[@]sbcglobal.net).

QSL CP6XE ---> Effective 15 January 2014, the  new  QSL  route  for  Miguel,
CP6XE is via  IK6GPZ,  direct  only.  See  http://www.qrz.com/db/IK6GPZ  for
QSLling instructions.

QSL VK0TH ---> Trevor, VK8TH  made  some  15,000  QSOs  while  stationed  on
Macquarie Island  between  late  September  2011  and  mid-April  2012.  "No
further QSL cards will be processed", he wrote on VK0TH's  qrz.com  page  on
15 January. "If you have sent a card before 01/01/2014 then  your  QSL  will
be processed however I have no  further  QSL  Cards  for  VK0TH  and  cannot
process the volume of QSL's still being received almost 2  years  after  the
expedition. My apologies and hope you understand. I am more than willing  to
process eQSL and will look at making the log available via other means".

TO7CC ---> The  website  for  the  Radio  Club  de  Provins'  6-16  February
expedition to Reunion  Island  [425DXN  1185]  is  now  up  and  running  at
www.to7cc.com

TROMELIN 2014 ---> Vincent, F4BKV has joined the operating  team,  in  place
of  F5SIH.  The  Northern  California  DX  Foundation   (www.ncdxf.org)  has
announced a grant of $25,000 to the Tromelin Island DXpedition  planned  for
late October-early November [425DXN 1182]. "Tromelin is  a  very  small  and
very environmentally fragile area.  There  are  strict  limitations  to  the
number of visitors and the time allowable on the island. The team's  antenna
plans,  pilot  feedback  plans  and  enthusiasm  should  make   this  entity
available to many DXers".

W1AW WAS ---> Look for ARRL Centennial stations W1AW/0  from  Minnesota  and
W1AW/5 from Texas to be on the air starting  at  00.00  UTC  on  29  January
until 23.59 UTC on 4 February. Complete information on the  ARRL  Centennial
QSO Party [425DXN 1179] can be found at www.arrl.org/centennial-qso-party.
