FT8DMC ANNIVERSARY ---> Eight special event callsigns will be activated on
10-24 August to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the FT8 Digital Mode Club:
A91FTDMC (Bahrain, QSL via A92AA), II8FTDM (Italy, QSL via IK8YFU), LX8FTDM
(Luxembourg, QSL via LX1TI), OD5FTDMC (Lebanon, QSL via K3IRV), OE19FTDMC
(Austria, QSL via OE1SGU), TM8FTDM (France, QSL via F1ULQ), TO8FTDM
(Guadeloupe, QSL via F1ULQ) and ZL6FTDMC (New Zealand, QSL via F1ULQ). The
logs will be uploaded to LoTW and eQSL. See https://www.ft8dmc.eu for
information on the FTDMC Anniversary Award.
IOTA: RESTRUCTURING OF AS-117 & AS-206 ---> "Islands previously listed as
qualifying for AS-117 that now fall within the co-ordinates box of the new
group AS-206 (Honshu's Coastal Islands East) have been transferred and are
listed appropriately both in the application database scroll-down list and
in the IOTA Directory online" Roger Balister, G3KMA (IOTA General Manager)
posted to https://iota-world.org/ on 30 July.
"Following several activations from AS-206 in the last few weeks with most
already accepted for credit, the group number is now confirmed.
Record-holders with credits for AS-117 that commence with prefixes JA0, 1, 2
and 7, will have their credits reviewed for transfer to AS-206.
All chasers who logged into the IOTA system at least once during the last
two years will be automatically informed by a credit re-allocation. This
will alert them to the need to find a replacement card or QSO match for
AS-117 with a prefix JA3, 4 or 9 to regain credit.
Other record-holders for whom Management no longer retains an email address
will have any necessary transfer made automatically.
The intention is to transfer all credits to the correct IOTA group within a
few weeks. As this is quite a big job, patience is requested"
MIDWAY ISLAND 2020 ---> Ron KH6DV has announced that KH6VV/KH4 "
will activate Midway Atoll the last two weeks in February 2020". Operators
interested in joining the DXpedition are invited to contact him by email. See
https://dx-world.net/kh6vv-kh4-midway-island-2020/ for few preliminary details
(and comments).
VP8/VP8DXU ---> The project planning for the 2020 South Orkney Islands
DXpedition [425DXN 1469] continues on schedule. During the weekend of 12
July seven team members and three volunteers met in Placerville, California
to prepare the tents for use on Signy Island, 60m FT8 has been added to the
operating plan, and the fundraising campaign continues: "team members made
their 2nd payment to the project, and our 2nd payment to the 'Braveheart'
was processed", the VP8/VP8DXU team reported on 27 July. "As of this
writing, 33 clubs/foundations and 273 individuals have shown their support
for the project. While we're making progress, we have a long way to go to
reach the goal of 50% team member funding of the estimated project cost of
USD 325,000. Please keep in mind, serious DXpeditions, especially those in
the Southern Ocean, must pay the bills before leaving home, we are no
exception. If you need South Orkneys for an ATNO, or plan to work us, we
would appreciate your help". Please visit https://sorkney.com/ and consider

425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The July 2019 issue is now available for download
at http://www.425dxn.org/index.php. [TNX IZ3EBA]
INDEXA NEWSLETTER ---> The Summer 2019 edition (#126) of the International
DX Association's Newsletter is now available for download (also in the
Spanish translation provided by Otis Vicens, NP4G) on the INDEXA's website:
http://www.indexa.org/newsletters.html. This issue reports on the DXpedition
to Kanton Island, Central Kiribati (T31EU) which took place earlier this
year. This DXpedition had support from INDEXA's DXpedition Fund and from
INDEXA's "Hams with Hearts" Fund.
In the same issue there are several other items of interest. A primary
benefactor of INDEXA's "Hams with Hearts" Fund, Zorro Miyazawa (JH1AJT) has
been named Honorary Advisor to Bhutan's Olympic Committee President as he
continues his encouragement of education and healthy growth for youth in
various nations of the world.
INDEXA Director Otis Vicens (NP4G) reports on his solo DXpedition to Easter
Island accompanied by his father. It is a pleasant story of a father and
son reconnecting as adults.
If you have ever wondered about the process of how INDEXA processes requests
for DXpedition funding, INDEXA President Bob Schenck (N2OO) provides the
membership with a rundown of how it all happens.
Finally, if you haven't already noticed, a new video presentation has been
generated in the past month which explains DXing and INDEXA's role in
"Helping to Make DX Happen". There is a link to the presentation in the
article. [TNX K8YC]
K6VVA/6 ---> Rick, K6VVA has been granted written permission for access to
White Rock (NA-187), subject to a number of restrictions (including "low
power battery operation" as generators and gasoline are not allowed, and
"local daytime only QRV for safety reasons"). Tentatively, he is "looking at
sometime between September 15 and October 15". More information will be
provided in due course.
MOUNT ATHOS --->
In a letter provided by SV1GRM, Monk Iakovos (SV2RSG) from
the Koutloumousiou Monastery says: "I hereby take the liberty to contact you
and write in the circumstances of what has been circulated as sporadic
rumours regarding Mount Athos, Monk Apollo and me in conjunction to the
issue of ham radio activities (radio amateur)". Read brother Iakovos'
complete letter and appeal to "all those who love Mount Athos and the
tradition of Amateur Radio" on https://dx-world.net/sv2rsg-mt-athos/.

DXCC NEWS ---> 5A1AL (Libya, all operations) has been approved for DXCC
credit. If you have had this rejected in a prior application, you can send
a note to dxccadmin[@]arrl.org to be placed on the list for an update to
your record. Please note the submission date and/or reference number where

OPERATING STANDARDS BOOKLET ---> Over the last eight years, the booklet
"Ethics and Operating Procedures for the Radio Amateur"
( www.hamradio-operating-ethics.org ) has become a respected work describing
the best standards of operating on the amateur bands. Translated into most
major languages, the booklet by John Devoldere, ON4UN and Mark
Demeuleneere, ON4WW, is a valuable reference work for all radio amateurs.
Mark and John recently contacted IARU, explaining that they felt it
appropriate for IARU to become the custodian of the booklet into the
future. The IARU Administrative Council accepted this offer with gratitude,
and on 5 May Mark and John met Don Beattie, G3BJ, President IARU Region 1,
in Brussels to officially hand over the document. IARU will now carry
forward the work in future years to ensure its continuing relevance and
currency. [TNX IARU Region 1]
