>>> FT5ZM, AMSTERDAM ISLAND <<<
This is the latest Press Release, sent on 3 January by K0IR & the Amsterdam
Island DXpedition Team:
We are now 6 days from departure from the U.S. The Braveheart is making
its way across the Great Australian Bight and the North Corridor Radio
Group of Western Australia has a stockpile of supplies queued up and
waiting for us. Momentum has taken over now and there is no turning back.
Upon arrival in Fremantle, the Braveheart will re-provision and refuel to
90,000 to 100,000 liters of fuel. We will load the materials we've
obtained from the NCRG, do a little shopping for personal supplies, set up
our maritime mobile station, take our sea sickness pills and patches, and
be prepared to sail on January 15th.
We'll be passing through some rare grids on the way to Amsterdam Island
and we are anxious to hand out QSO's from them. Be sure to look for us on
the bands and track us on our website in near real time. Landing on
Amsterdam can be "exciting." Wish us good luck with this. We'll have some
heavy work to do upon landing and expect our set up time to take at least a
full day. We'll let you know when we get there.
This will be our last press release. It has been a long time of
preparation and a great deal of work, but that is behind us now. The next
time you hear from us, it will be a signal from the Braveheart or from
Amsterdam Island.
As you can see from our financial status on our home page
(www.amsterdamdx.org), we still need help. If you haven't helped us yet,
please consider doing so. If you've supported us, thank you - you've kept
us afloat to date.

added to the site; please contact him (k8cx[@]hamgallery.com) if you have
any. [TNX K8CX]

Marathon Referee Board. He is joined by Dan, W4DKS, and Bob, K3EST as Board
Members.
The website over which electronic logs for the CHASERS MARATHON should be
submitted is being finalised, and details will be announced shortly.
Entrants' logs should contain only contacts with IOTA stations, and each
QSO must include a full IOTA reference number (such as EU-001). It is
recommended that logs be uploaded in ADIF (.adi) format; a log prepared as
an Excel spreadsheet will be accepted, but paper logs will not be
processed. Applications need to be submitted by 28 February at the latest.

but it is the same ten. That should change somewhat for 2014 with Tromelin
and Amsterdam both scheduled for major DXpeditions". The 100 Most Wanted

continent is published in the January/February 2014 issue of "The DX

QSO Party [425DXN 1179] can be found at www.arrl.org/centennial-qso-party.
+ SILENT KEYS + Max de Henseler, HB9RS, the founder and president emeritus
of 4U1UN at United Nations headquarters in New York, died on 30 December at
80 years of age. In 1976 he reactivated the UN Radio Club station (K2UN),
and introduced the new call sign 4U1UN on 4 February 1978. During his UN
career he operated under various call signs, including 3D2RS, 5W1BK, 9Y4RS,
DJ0AB, EL2DX, ET3RS, FO0RSM, HP1HN and XW8HB.
As for the current status of 4U1UN, The Daily DX repots that the station
"was dismantled in early 2010 due to the massive renovation project on the
Secretariat Building. All of the antennas were removed from the roof and
all of the equipment packed up and are being stored in the UN. The club is
seriously looking at several options in order to get 4U1UN back on the air
as quickly as possible. Some of the options being considered include
remoting the station, putting the station on the ground floor and running
some 400-500 feet of coax to the top of the building or moving the station
to another sovereign UN building".
Other recently reported Silent Keys include Hans Rexin (DJ6QP), Miloslav
Bartos (OM3FZ) and Jerry Pittenger (K8RA), well-known manufacturer of a
line of iambic and single-lever CW keys.

W100AW active for ARRL's Centennial Year
A reminder that the FCC has authorized the Maxim Memorial Station W1AW to also use the call sign W100AW during 2014, the ARRL's centennial year.
Contacts made from the Maxim Memorial Station in Newington, from regional Centennial conventions, and during the IARU HF Championship will use W100AW, with portable designators as appropriate.
The "W1AW WAS" operations throughout 2014 from each of the 50 states will use W1AW, not W100AW.
Bulletins and code practice transmissions during 2014 also will still use W1AW. Contacts with W100AW are worth 100 points in the ARRL Centennial QSO Party.

Italy: QSL cards will become more expensive -
It will become more expensive to send a QSL card from Italy. From today
(30
December 2013) on, till entire 2016, the QSL traffic will become more
costly for
the Italian QSL Managers. A series of increases in postal rates will
affect
Italian radio amateurs in a short time. Unfortunately, the cost to send a
letter
(0-20 gr.) will pass from the average 0,70 Euro to 0,95 Euro thanks to
the
National Communication Authority (AGICOM) that gave the green light for a
series
of increases of the Italian postal rates from today to 2016. Other
increases are
planned, with the same logic also over the registered letter of the same
rage
0-20 gr. That is, by case, the average weight of an amateur radio
QSL.
