CEPT IDENTIFICATION  AND  OPERATING RULES ---> John Crovelli (W2GD) and Ward
Silver (N0AX) wrote a short article explaining  how to operate and  identify
properly according to  the CEPT rules:  "there has been  a lot of  confusion
about  what is and isn't permitted  and required", Ward says.  "We hope this
article will help reduce the number of rule violations and help all stations
operate  properly.  It has been  reviewed by  knowledgeable  individuals  to
be sure this information is accurate". The article can be found on
https://www.onallbands.com/guide-to-fol ... nse-rules/.

SWODXA DX DINNER ---> The 39th DX Dinner, sponsored again by  the  SouthWest
Ohio DX Association (SWODXA) and held in conjunction with  the  2024  Dayton
Hamvention, will be on Friday, 17 May  at  the  Marriott  Hotel  in  Dayton.
Tickets can be purchased on https://swodxaevents.org/.

TX5S ---> Operations from Clipperton Island started on  20 January at  02.13
UTC.  At that time there was only  one station running  CW on 17 metres,  as
landing on the island was very challenging, and the team had to stop sending
over equipment when the seas became too dangerous. The camp itself had to be
redesigned on the fly to a smaller footprint.
The weather forecast indicates that the team will need  to depart the island
earlier than originally planned.  The objective is to  safely navigate  over
the reef, which requires cooperation between the tides and winds. Therefore,
the  current plan  is for TX5S  to begin tear down  on  27 January. All non-
essential equipment and  HF antennas will be removed,  but there may be some
low band operation during the local night between Saturday and Sunday. On 28
January, all DXpedition equipment and personnel will be removed.  The Shogun
will depart for San Diego on 29 January for a voyage lasting 7 or 8 days.
QSOs are being uploaded to Club Log and  M0URX.com,  those with early donors
are being uploaded to LoTW within 24 hours.  "Not in Log" and "busted calls"
will be investigated by submitting the form on M0URX's website.
