Details can be found found at dxconvention.org/download/IOTA_Dinner.pdf. Last chance to register in 28 March. [TNX N6VR] NA-172 ---> K9AJ and myself both now have other QRL and priorities necessitating a change in our longstanding plans for NA-172, Rick K6VVA reported on 18 March. Their IOTA expedition has been postponed to July 2015. Their plans will still require a 2 week extended lodging on the mainland to wait out any bad solar condx or X-Flares which may occur, as well as Auroral Oval positioning during our journey. There will be a narrow window of opportunity between when the local polar ice actually melts and the increasing fog problems in Northern KL7 as summer progresses. Bookmark k6vva/iota/na172/ for updates. NORTH KOREA ---> Rick, N6VVA has posted Info Update #3 to the P5 CW Only & IOTA AS-197 Project [425DXN 1141]. As behind-the-scenes efforts for P5 license approval by my NGO contact continue along with 5 competing groups in the quest, he says, I have made a final decision about implementing a Blacklist should P5/K6VVA become a reality at some point in time. Read the complete release at k6vva/p5/p5infoupdates.html, and the Blacklist Clarification at k6vva/dnq2. QSL 3B9FR ---> HB9SLO is no longer the QSL manager for 3B9FR. He has the logs and can still confirm contacts made from 23 October 2012 until 14 March 2014. QSL UK8OM ---> 4Z5OG is no longer the QSL manager for UK8OM. Cards should be sent direct only to UK8OMs mailing address: Mike Mejlumov, Oina Jahon 2, Namangan 160133, Uzbekistan. VK9MT ---> The Advance Team arrived in Mackay on 18-19 March, and the other team members will be arriving over the next few days. Were loading the the boat in small loads rather than hiring a trucking firm to bring everything at once, they say. On 21 March they expected to test the generators, assemble antennas that we received directly from SteppIR and make final tuning adjustments to the folding hex beams that we were unable to do in the US because of the cold and snow. During the time at sea and during radio operations there will be no personal e-mail communications with the Team. Comment sections on Facebook and the DXpeditions website will be turned off. The auto-publish function of the Guestbook entries will temporarily deactivated. Comments and/or suggestions will have to be directed to the Pilots (see vk9mt/), who will not have access to the logs. All log inquiries should be directed to the QSL Manager (M0URX) once the operation is QRT. W1AW WAS ---> Look for ARRL Centennial stations W1AW/0 from Iowa and W1AW/1 from Vermont to be on the air starting at 00.00 UTC on 26 March until 23.59 UTC on 1 April. Complete information on the ARRL Centennial QSO Party can be found at arrl.org/centennial-qso-party. + SILENT KEYS + Charles E. Dewey Jr, W0CD passed away on 16 March at 96 years of age.
