425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The June 2017 issue is now available for download
at http://www.425dxn.org/index.php. [TNX IZ3EBA]
5L3BI ---> Dickson, EL2DT will attend Ham Radio in Friedrichshafen this
coming weekend, and will give a short presentation on the DXpedition to
Baiyah Island (AF-111, new one for IOTA) [425DXN 1361] at the IOTA Forum on
Saturday 15 July, between 10.00 and 11.45 hours in Halle A2 Raum 1.
"Since our first Press Release we have incurred additional costs which have
been fully met by the team. We feel these recce trips are essential to
identify the variables on this otherwise unknown piece of rock! To get
there, we have decided to hire a 4x4 and to drive the 400 kilometer dirt
track to where we will meet the boat that will take us to the island.
A further recce trip will be made by both Richmond EL2BG and Dickson EL2DT
likely at the end of August - this time to land on the island and to find
suitable position(s) to set up our stations and antennas. It's very
important to maintain our relationship with the local elders and villagers
who are giving us the necessary access to land on Baiyah.
Jeremy EI5GM, Dave EI9FBB and Col MM0NDX have now booked their flights to
Monrovia. All going well and following our intended itinerary, we hope to be
QRV from October 31st (slightly earlier than initially announced). We aim to
have 3 stations active simultaneously from the island - no mean feat
considering the island is not very inviting and landing areas are few. Our
operation will be short (3 days) but very intense! Please respect our wishes
as we will try to give out this new IOTA reference to as many uniques as
possible.
The ever efficient Charles M0OXO will be our QSL manager. Expect the usual
high standard from him.
A further news update will be issued once the final recce trip has been
completed. In the meantime, we sincerely thank those clubs, organisations
and individual donors who have donated to the 5L3BI project so far. Please
see https://af111new.com/support/ for full listings and on how you too can
donate". [TNX MM0NDX]
A CHANGE IN THE DXCC RULES ---> "In July 2004, changes were made to the DXCC
List Criteria that - as time would tell - rendered the criteria
ineffective", Wayne, N7NG posted to The DX University on 12 July. "Of
immediate importance now - after more than 13 years - is a change in the
DXCC Rules that will restore the efficacy of the 1998 DXCC-2000 List
Criteria, indeed the heart of the DXCC program itself. [...] We hope to see
a change coming within the next ten days". See http://www.dxuniversity.com/.
