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. Details can be found
found  at http://www.dxconvention.org/download/IOTA_Dinner.pdf.  Last chance
to register in 28 March. [TNX N6VR]

NA-172 ---> "K9AJ  and  myself  both  now  have  other  QRL  and  priorities
necessitating a change in our longstanding plans  for  NA-172",  Rick  K6VVA
reported on 18 March. Their IOTA  expedition  has  been  postponed  to  July
2015. Their plans "will still require a  2  week  extended  lodging  on  the
mainland to wait out any bad solar condx or X-Flares  which  may  occur,  as
well as Auroral Oval positioning during our journey. There will be a  narrow
window of opportunity between when the local polar ice  actually  melts  and
the increasing fog problems in Northern KL7 as summer progresses".  Bookmark
http://www.k6vva.com/iota/na172/ for updates.

NORTH KOREA ---> Rick, N6VVA has posted Info Update #3 to the "P5 CW Only  &
IOTA AS-197 Project" [425DXN 1141]. "As  behind-the-scenes  efforts  for  P5
license approval by my NGO contact continue along with  5  competing  groups
in the quest", he says, "I have made a final decision about  implementing  a
'Blacklist' should P5/K6VVA become a reality at some point  in  time".  Read
the complete release at http://www.k6vva.com/p5/p5infoupdates.html, and  the
"Blacklist Clarification" at http://www.k6vva.com/dnq2.

QSL 3B9FR ---> HB9SLO is no longer the QSL manager for  3B9FR.  He  has  the
logs and can still confirm contacts made  from  23  October  2012  until  14
March 2014.

QSL UK8OM ---> 4Z5OG is no longer the QSL manager for  UK8OM.  Cards  should
be sent direct only to UK8OM's mailing address: Mike  Mejlumov,  Oina  Jahon
2, Namangan 160133, Uzbekistan.

VK9MT ---> The Advance Team arrived in Mackay on 18-19 March, and the  other
team members will be arriving over the next few  days.  "We're  loading  the
the boat in small  loads  rather  than  hiring  a  trucking  firm  to  bring
everything at once", they say. On  21  March  they  expected  to  "test  the
generators, assemble antennas that we received  directly  from  SteppIR  and
make final tuning adjustments to the folding hex beams that we  were  unable
to do in the US because of the cold and snow".
During the time at  sea  and  during  radio  operations  there  will  be  no
personal e-mail communications with the Team. Comment sections  on  Facebook
and the DXpedition's website will be turned off. The  auto-publish  function
of the Guestbook  entries  will  temporarily  deactivated.  Comments  and/or
suggestions will have to be directed to the Pilots (see  http://vk9mt.com/),
who will not have access to the logs. All log inquiries should  be  directed
to the QSL Manager (M0URX) once the operation is QRT.

W1AW WAS ---> Look for ARRL Centennial stations W1AW/0 from Iowa and  W1AW/1
from Vermont to be on the air starting at 00.00 UTC on 26 March until  23.59
UTC on 1 April. Complete information on the ARRL Centennial  QSO  Party  can
be found at www.arrl.org/centennial-qso-party.

+ SILENT KEYS + Charles E. Dewey Jr, W0CD passed away  on  16  March  at  96
years of age. A major Top Band DXer (297  DXCC  Entities  confirmed  on  160
metres), along with K8GG and W8UVZ he developed  the  Battle  Creek  Special
antenna used by several DXpeditions.
Other recently reported Silent Keys include Patricia A. Colvin  (AF9H),  Uli
Tillmann (DJ7QX), Franco Cento (I1IOF) and Gabriella Mollura (IK3CXG).
