POSTAL RATES (NEW ZEALAND)--->  Effective 1  July,  New  Zealand  Post  will

required to send "medium letters" by International Air to Australia &  South

QSL 4U1ITU, 4U1UN & 4U1WRC ---> Get your missing QSLs for QSOs with  4U1ITU,
4U1UN and 4U1WRC (2012) at the Swiss DX Foundation's booth at Hamradio  2014
(Friedrichshafen) on 27-29 June. Additionally you can  also  get  QSL  cards
for HB9SOLAR and HB14SAF. Bring your QSO  data  with  you  and  observe  the
working hours of the QSL manager (to be available at  the  booth).  [TNX  DX
Newsletter]

QSL FT5ZM ---> On 17 June N2OO reported that the cards were  "just  arriving
from printer. The SJDXA QSL  team  has  been  hard  at  work  preparing  the
labels. All of our attention is focused on  FT5ZM  QSLs  right  now.  I  ask
everyone waiting for other cards that I handle to be patient  while  we  get
through this enormous project".

QSL HZ1HX ---> Effective 1 June, E73Y is the  new  QSL  manager  for  HZ1HX.
Boris has complete logs and will be able  to  confirm  direct  and    bureau
requests for all QSOs. Clublog OQRS will be activated he receives the  cards
from the printer.

VK0EK: HEARD ISLAND 2016 ---> The  radio  team  is  being  reorganized  from
scratch. "We have been building the radio team  over  the  past  year",  the
latest (14 June) post on http://vk0ek.org/ says,  "and  we  have  more  than
half the projected 20 participants committed.  Unfortunately,  in  the  past
two months five team members withdrew, including  the  team  leader,  citing
conflicts or the desire  to  participate  in  a  shorter,  less  challenging
DXpedition". Therefore it has been  decided  to  completely  reorganize  the
radio team. "The first step is to identify a new team leader who  is  widely
respected in  the  DXing  community  and  experienced  with  organizing  and
leading DXpeditions to rare locations. The new team  leader  will  have  the
authority  and  responsibility  for  re-building  the  radio  team  and  for
managing the amateur radio operations on Heard Island".

W1AW WAS ---> Look for ARRL Centennial stations  W1AW/3  from  Maryland  and
W1AW/9 from Illinois to be on the air starting  at  00.00  UTC  on  25  June
until 23.59 UTC on 1 July. Complete information on the ARRL  Centennial  QSO
Party can be found at www.arrl.org/centennial-qso-party.

WRTC 2014: CALLSIGNS ---> WRTC teams will be using 59 of the 75  call  signs
in the "1 x 1" special event  block  for  the  first  call  area,  from  K1A
through  W1Z. Sixteen  of  the  available  75 callsigns  will  not  be used,
including  the longest and shortest  CW suffixes (J, Q, Y, E), suffixes that
are  frequently  miscopied  on CW (H)  and  suffixes  not available  in this
callsign  series (X). The  teams  will not know  the callsign they  will use
until the  referee  hands them a sealed envelope  just 15 minutes before the
contest begins. This puts  all teams at an equal  starting point  and helps
maintain the anonymity of the teams.
Participation awards are available for anyone who works a  WRTC  2014  teams
during the competition: www.wrtc2014.org/competition/participation-awards/.
