NCDXF ---> At its annual board meeting at the Visalia International DX
Convention last weekend, the Northern California DX Foundation elected two
new directors (Kip Edwards, W6SZN and John Miller, K6MM), bringing the
board compliment back to eleven members. W6OAT and K6ANP recently retired
after many years of dedicated service to NCDXF. [TNX W0GJ]
QSL EK6LP ---> RN4LP is the new QSL manager for EK6LP. QSL direct only to
Vladislav V. Lakeev, P.O.Box 208, Dimitrovgrad, 433512, Russia. [TNX RN4LP]
QSL FM4KA ---> Effective immediately, NI5DX is the QSL manager radio club
station FM4KA (www.fmhamra.com) in Martinique. All QSL requests for
contacts made with the club station in the past or in the future should be
sent to NI5DX. Buzz is waiting for past logs to be sent. Cards will either
be shipped to Buzz from Martinique or will have to be printed. [TNX K1XN]
SOUTH ORKNEYS 2011 ---> The Microlite Penguins DXpedition team (9V1YC,
I8NHJ, K0IR, K9ZO, N0AX, N1DG, N4GRN, N6MZ, ND2T, VE3EJ, W3WL, W7EW and
WB9Z) will be activating the South Orkney Islands (AN-008) from 27 January
to 8 February 2011. Safe and reliable Antarctic transportation has been
secured by the experienced RV Braveheart, and activity will be on all HF
bands 160m-10m using SSB, CW and RTTY.
"Those who have enjoyed our operations over the last 8 years", they say,
"may recall that our methods and philosophy are somewhat different from
other DXpeditions. Though our overall goal is still to provide a new DXCC
entity on as many bands and modes as possible, we also strive to increase
the fun factor by focussing on operational simplicity and radio skill.
In the past we kept the Microlite Penguins DXpeditions non-commercial and
confined the financial burden to ourselves and a single sponsor, the NCDXF.
But today, with the astronomical cost of Antarctic travel and a budget
approaching USD 300,000, this single-sponsor approach is no longer a
reality. To make this DXpedition happen, we must break our tradition and
ask for support of the entire amateur radio community. All financial
support, no matter what the amount will be welcome". DXers, clubs and
foundations can donate online - please visit www.vp8o.com
WWROF ---> The World Wide Radio Operators Foundation (www.wwrof.org) has
been created as "an independent organization devoted to the skill and art
of radio operating", with a focus on contesting. "We believe that amateur
radio contests provide a means of testing operating skill", they say, "and
that worldwide contest sponsors can benefit from the support we can
provide". [TNX The Daily DX]
