CQWW CW Going on right now! Give it a try!
TIL: Any previous callsign holder can reclaim their call, not just the most recent callsign holder
So I’ve been debating about whether to return to a previous 2×1 I had…and discovered that a previous owner prior to me has reclaimed it. That’s OK by me, makes my decision that much easier. But I was a bit surprised to learn that any previous callsign holder can reclaim it within the 2-year window before it becomes available again.
Actually, this is the rule (according to AE7Q):
A: FCC Former primary station holder Former primary station holder (“By checking this box, I certify that the call sign being requested was assigned to my station within the past 2 years and that I can provide documentation, if requested.”) – This is the vanity request type to use when requesting a callsign that you have previously held, and you have documentation to prove it.
The previous owner gave up the call well prior to 2 years ago, so I guess the request wasn’t legit after all. But I’m not going to complain about it, just a heads’ up for anyone sitting on the fence about returning to a previous call.

Am I Too Young for HAM Radio?
After getting my license and being on the air for several months, I’ve come to the conclusion that I just spent a lot of time and money to have, what amounts to, awkward and meaningless conversations with strangers. No, not every QSO is bad, and I’ve had some great conversations, but the bulk of them fall into one of three categories: Listening to a local weather report from a place I didn’t even know existed and care absolutely nothing about, learning about someone’s medical complaints and conditions, or being read an inventory of someone’s radio gear, usually in model numbers that mean absolutely nothing to me.
I’m not a bad person, but I just can’t even pretend to care about any of this stuff. I had hoped to meet and speak with interesting people about interesting things. Most of the people I meet on the air are considerably older than I am. Knew this going in – my dad and grandfather were both Hams. But man… I just feel like I’m in the day room at a nursing home when I turn my radio on.
Are there nets and reflectors where people discuss things other than ham-tech related topics? Like, well, anything? I don’t even care what it’s about. Auto racing, crocheting, mink farming. Just… anything?

CYPRUS QSL MATTERS —> Baz, 5B4AHO has retired as QSL manager for the Pafos
Radio Club, after 10 years of stirling work. The new QSL manager is Norman,
5B4AIE. QSLs for the following calls should be sent via 5B4AIE: 5B4PRC,
C4EURO, C4EU, P3EU, P3R and 5B70VE.
QSLing 5B stations in general: a reminder that many Cyprus stations have a
QSL Manager who is not resident in Cyprus. It is therefore pointless to send
QSLs for these stations to the Cyprus QSL Bureau – the cards will almost
certainly not be delivered to their intended recipient. A full list of these
stations can be found here: http://bit.ly/1QdZQht [TNX 5B4AHJ, CARS QSL
Bureau Manager]
HV ON CLUB LOG —> The logs for HV0A (QSOs after 2 February 2008), HV4NAC
(QSOs after 26 January 2008), HV50VR and HV6SP are now available on Club
Log. They will be updated soon after each activation. The logs are regularly
uploaded to LoTW. [TNX IK0PRG]
IOTA SURVEY — > If you need IOTA groups OC-196, OC-198 and/or OC-228,
there is a quick survey to help Craig, VK5CE plan operations there in 2017:
http://ift.tt/2gqG1La.
YOTA MONTH —> The Youngsters On The Air group will be active again during
the entire month of December. The idea for this event is to show the amateur
radio hobby to youth and to encourage youngsters to be active on the ham
radio waves. Participating stations include 3V8YOTA, 4O1YOTA, 4O2YOTA,
7X2YOTA, 9A0YOTA, 9A16YOTA, A2YOTA, A60YOTA, DA0YOTA, E71YOTA, ES9YOTA,
ET3AA/YOTA, GB16YOTA, HA6YOTA, HB9YOTA, II2YOTA, II5YOTA, J62YOTA, LX4YOTA,
LY5YOTA, OD5RI/YOTA, OE16YOTA, OH2YOTA, OM9YOTA, ON4YOTA, PA6YOTA, PD6YOTA,
SH9YOTA, TM0YOTA, YO0YOTA, YT16YOTA and ZS9YOTA. QSLs via Club Log’s OQRS.
See http://ift.tt/1IjNAwj for information on the event and
the award.

Texas Balloon Launch Tomorrow
The Baylor Amateur Radio club has been working with Josh Ward, a Baylor Staff member and balloon enthusiast, to develop a payload for a balloon launch. The payload includes 4 go pro cameras, a cross band repeater, APRS tracking and a plethora of environmental sensors. It is our goal to reach 90,000 feet which would provide great coverage for the repeater. The launch is tentatively scheduled for tomorrow (November 26) at around 10am central from Comanche Texas. The exact time of the launch will depend on the local conditions and cloud cover and could be anywhere between 10am and 12n . The predicted track of the balloon has it going over the south side of with a predicted burst near Hwy 6 east of the loop. Those interested in live updates can subscribe to the remind.com system by going to http://ift.tt/2fNxyyb

3Y0Z BOUVET ISLAND DXPEDITION UPDATE. The following update was posted
under <http://ift.tt/2gppu6m>: A Message From the
DXpedition Team — Our Commitment to You — A DXpedition to Bouvet is not
to be taken lightly. Bouvet is a serious and dangerous place; demanding
attention to safety, serious planning, physical and mental endurance, time
to allow for storms and rough seas, and a team with the right balance of
size, experience, talent, emotional stability, and sense of purpose. We
feel we have met these criteria, but when we arrive at Bouvet we also need
to attend to our obligations to you, our financial supporters and DX audi-
ence. How we meet those obligations and expectations will define us as a
team.
It is our belief that, given the rarity of this entity, we must pull out
all the stops. We must utilize maximum legal power, the best antennas,
world class transceivers, propagation studies, the best location on the
island, a safe vessel and crew, highly qualified helicopter pilots, and
the complimentary resources of our team. We will need near real time infor-
mation flowing to us through our extensive pilot system so that we can
maximize our primary purpose — providing QSO’s.
We have a conscience. We will not do this just for the sake of doing it
and end up using a compromised location, less than 24/7 coverage of all
open bands, limited power, inefficient antennas, and insufficient time at
the island. We want to do this right and give everyone the best possible
chance of making the QSO’s they desire, be they on 160, the WARC bands,
SSB, CW, RTTY, or 6 and 2 meter EME.
Rest assured that we will do our very best for you! No shortcuts or
compromises! ……… The 3Y0Z Bouvet Island DXpedition Team

by the “Gray Radio Gang” on 40 meters SSB from approximately 1800-2300z.
Operations are planned to be on 7241 kHz and as the transmitters are on
deck 3 and the receivers are on the main deck, QSYing to tweek you in is
nearly impossible. Please ensure you are on frequency before you call as
they cannot easily track you. Understand that there will be a delay between
transmit and receive due to the receiver recovery time. The main BIARA team
will man both their SSB and CW stations using amateur radio transceivers
on 20-10 meters commensurate with conditions. Suggested frequencies are:
CW – 14041, 18078, 21041, 24896, and /or 28041 kHz
SSB – 14341, 18141, 21441, 24941 and /or 28441 kHz

OF9, FINLAND (Press Release OH2BH — From Offices of Santa Claus in
Finland, dated November 19th). DECEMBER’S ULTIMATE EVENT — OF9X PROMOTES
THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT ON THE RADIO SPECTRUM — Greetings from the Land of
Santa Claus, in the Far North at the Arctic Circle.
The busy yuletide season is soon upon us, and Santa is preparing his
sleigh for another world tour. The old man is very busy, but fortunately
the elves are there to help him deliver the Christmas spirit to the world’s
children.
The Ou-Hou (OH) people are also bringing Santa to the ham community as
in many past years, utilizing some high tech to assist him. With the help
of multimedia and the Internet, a dozen or so elves will operate Santa
Radio, OF9X, with their own identity.
As a reward for contacting several of them, your brave children, grand-
children, or neighbors’ children may even speak with Santa himself. Amateur
Radio’s future resides in our youth, and Santa can be their first contact
with the art. This year’s activity will also pay respect to the ARRL’s late
President Emeritus, Jim Hayne, W5JBP, who became a SK at the time the Santa
script was in making. We wish to carry on the spirit of his mission the
Big Project in this format.
The certified reindeer driver and Laplander Pertti “Pete” Koivula,
OH2BEE/OH9U, will give Santa a face and voice, tapping into his pro-
fessional background as a famous actor of the Helsinki City Theatre.
Pete is well known from his role in the Finnish national movie “The
Unknown Soldier,” exploring those difficult bygone times of war, still
remembered by seasoned Finns.
The Santa activity’s end will mark the beginning of Finland’s Anniversary
as a 100-year-old sovereign and independent nation.
The patron of the OF9X Santa Activity is Mr. Juha Sipilä, the Prime
Minister of the Republic of Finland. Mr. Sipilä indicates his sincere
support of Finland being the home of Santa and states that “using the
latest technology to promote Santa is valuable support for Finland and
helps make this Christmas a special one.” He further expresses his pleasure
of “welcoming an increasing number of visitors, such as those from America
and China, who come to explore the treasures of Finnish Lapland by flying
directly to Santa Claus Airport at the Arctic Circle.”
More details will be released soon. The OF9X (Old-Father-9-Christmas)
activity is supported by the Finnish Telecommunications Regulatory Authority
(FICORA) and the Finnish Amateur Radio Association (SRAL), and is organized
by Radio Club of Pusula, OH9W with Radio Arcala, OH8X of Oulu, the frozen
North.

REALTIME BAND CONDITIONS WEB SITE <http://ift.tt/1ulRLNw>:
The purpose of this experimental Web site is to provide 24-7-365 actual
(REALTIME) band condition information to CW QRPp, QRPe and CW/SSB for
Contesters interested in increasing their scores. It can also be of
benefit to other Radio Amateurs to determine band conditions for Nets
and casual QSO’s. This information is NOT based on any software pre-
dictions or any kind of satellite based readings. It is based on a
new Ionospheric sounding method called “HF Ionospheric Interferometry”
which operates very similarly to the PolSAR system used by NASA.

CYPRUS QSL NEWS. Baz, 5B4AHO, has retired as QSL Manager for the Pafos
Radio Club after 10 years of sterling work. The new QSL Manager is
Norman, 5B4AIE. QSLs for the following callsigns should be sent via
5B4AIE: 5B4PRC, C4EURO, C4EU, P3EU, P3R and 5B70VE. ADDED NOTE: QSLing
5B stations in general — A reminder that many Cyprus stations have a
QSL Manager who is not resident in Cyprus. It is therefore pointless
to send QSLs for these stations to the Cyprus QSL Bureau – the cards
will almost certainly not be delivered to their intended recipient. A
