Werner, DJ9KH, is now active from Tongatapu Island (OC-049) until February 23rd, and then on Vava'u Island (OC-064) between February 24th and March 2nd. His callsigns will be A35WH on both islands.

He reported on February 14th: "Sorry to say, that we had to leave our mast-material in Auckland. Air New Zealand wanted us to pay a hell lot of money for 2kg fiberglass, incredible. Now we took a palm-tree instead, not that high, but good enough for a vertical-dipole for 20/17/15m. Tried to work CW this morning GMT. Some more will follow."

His equipment will be a K3 with 100 watts and wire-antennas (loops and
verticals). Activity will be on the HF bands, depending on propagation.
Suggested frequencies are:
CW - 1826.5, 3505, 7020, 10105, 14024, 18080, 21024, 24894 and 28024 kHz
SSB - 3799, 7070, 14190, 18145, 21290, 24950 and 28490 kHz
RTTY - 10140, 14080, 18110, 21080, 24920 and 28080 kHz

QSL via his home callsign, direct or by the DARC Bureau.

He plans to update on http://www.tonga2013.de/ every day and give information about planned activities, modes and frequencies.
He doesn't use an online-log, LoTW and e-QSL.

Operators Phil G3SWH and Jim G3RTE will be active from Honiara, Guadalcanal, in the Solomon Islands, between February 18-28th.

The Solomon Islands are located in CQ zone 28, ITU zone 51. Guadalcanal counts as OC-047 for IOTA purposes. The "most wanted" data provided by ClubLog currently shows the Solomon Islands at #81 in Europe and #77 in North America.

Their activity will be on CW only on all bands 80-10 meters using 2 x K2s with 2 x KPA500 amplifiers to wire antennas. There will be no 160, 60, 6 meters or EME activity.

Propagation permitting, they plan to have two stations on the air for as many hours everyday as is possible. Their main objective is to work as many European, North American and ROTW stations on as many different bands as possible and plan to make at least 15,000 QSOs. They will always work split and listen between 1 and 5 kHz up.

Subject to a reliable Internet connection, they will upload the log to ClubLog and the G3SWH Web site on a daily basis. Otherwise the complete log will be uploaded upon their return. The log will be uploaded to LoTW as soon as possible after they return to the UK.

Please make only one QSO per band. Making duplicate QSOs prevents someone else from making a QSO! Duplicate QSOs will *NOT* be logged. Believe your ears, not your Internet browser!

QSL via G3SWH, either via the OQRS facility on Phil's Web site http://www.g3swh.org.uk> (recommended), direct with SAE and adequate return postage or via the traditional Bureau route.

There is more information at www.g3swh.org.uk/h44kw.html which will be updated from time to time.

Wednesday, February 13th 2013 is World Radio Day.  

UNESCO describes World Radio Day as “a day to celebrate radio as a medium; to improve international cooperation between broadcasters; and to encourage major networks and community radio alike to promote access to information and freedom of expression over the airwaves.”

A worthy cause.

****************************************************************************

The 657 kHz transmitter near Bozen (Bolzano) has been closed down in December and, acc. RAI Bozen, the antenna already been dismantled. This leaves Pisa/Coltano as only remaining transmitter on this frequency in Italy. For the part of Southern Tyrol the only remaining mediumwave transmitter there is Bruneck (Brunicolo), 2 kW on 1449 kHz. The
transmitter at Brixen (Bressanone), still listed in some literature, has been shut down already some years ago due to technical problems, it will be (or has already been?) dismantled as well. And already in the last decade shut down has been the 1602 kHz Bozen/Bruneck/Brixen/Meran outlet which carried the all-day German program from Bozen which now is on FM only. 1449 kHz has, as 657 had until December as well, Radiouno with
short Italian broadcasts from Bozen.

A group of ham radio operators will activate PJ2T, the Caribbean Contesting Consortium's (CCC) Signal Point Station on Curacao (SA-099,
WLOTA LH-0942) between February 13-20th.

Activity will be on all bands and modes, but their main operations will be during the ARRL DX CW Contest (February 16-17th) as a Multi-Op entry. QSL PJ2T via LoTW or W3HNK.

Look for operators to possibly be active before and after the contest using their own PJ2/homecall callsigns. QSL via their home callsigns unless where indicated.

Operators mentioned are John/K9QVB, Howie/K9KM, Kelly/N0VD (via W3HNK), Mal/NP2L, Andy/W9NJY (via WD9DZV), Bill/W9VA and Geoff/PJ2DX.

Some operators will use LoTW.

US-based CommRadio is introducing a new tabletop, SDR-based, shortwave receiver this year: the CR-1. Their website has a few specifications and the video I’ve embedded below.

The CR-1 receives the full medium wave and shortwave spectrum (.5-30 MHz), plus some portions of VHF and UHF (FM broadcast band, Aircraft, Marine, NOAA weather radio, GMRS and FRS services).

The receiver architecture is a dual conversion super-heterodyne design with low-IF , I-Q digital sampling, 16 bit DSP with digital audio CODEC.  Their website also mentions DSP algorithms for all demodulation: DSB-AM, SSB, CW, WBFM, NBFM and channel filtering.

VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HsTfgIM091Y

Other impressive features:

• Can be powered from USB or a 6-18 VDC power source (from a separate 2.1mm jack).  The CR-1 possibly has the most flexible power source I’ve ever seen in a shortwave receiver!
• The knobs are black anodized machined aluminium and front panel is powder coated machined aluminium; case is 20 gauge powder coated steel
• Three antenna inputs
  • BNC for HF/MW
  • 3.5 mm audio jack (rated at 1000 Ohm, for roll-up antennas or telescoping whip),
  • BNC for VHF and UHF
• Very portable size!

Full specs are available on their website: commradio.com

We will also keep you posted with any future updates.

 Ver. 3.1.1 [29/01/2013]

 - Gestione Black Sea Cup International Contest
 - CQ WPX Contest: a seguito delle modifiche nel regolamento, aggiunta la categoria SO Assistito QRP (Singola banda o tutte le bande)
 - Aggiornato file dei Country
 - Aggiornato Database dei nominativi francesi per il Contest REF

Hi all
On 26 January 2012, the 4m OZ7IGY beacon has been migrated to the Next Generations Beacons platform http://www.rudius.net/oz2m/ngnb

The beacon is now frequency and time locked to GPS.
The sequence is timed to start at 00 second sending JT65C2 followed by a short pause then CW ID sending callsign and locator, then pause and carrier until next cycle. The nominal frequency remains the same, i.e. 70,021 MHz. To decode JT65C2 tune your receiver 1270 Hz below the nominal frequency. On most radios this is a USB dial of 70,019730 MHz.

The plan is to replace all the old beacons with the new platform as time permits.

Listeners reports and feedback are highly appreciated.

A triathlon is a multi sport event involving the completion of three continuous and sequential endurance events. The word "triathlon" is of Greek origin from τρεις or trei (three) and αθλος or athlos (contest). While many variations of the sport exist, triathlon, in its ham form, involves the three most popular modes RTTY, SSB and CW.

Triathletes compete for the biggest score in its Radio Amateur variation. Amateurs around the world will try to be the Ironham (the winner in original Triathlon called Ironman) and contact other amateurs in as many countries as possible and as many Greeks amateurs as possible...

****************************************************************************

I will listen, and listen, and then listen again before calling.
I will only call if I can copy the DX station properly.
I will not trust the DX cluster and will be sure of the DX station's call sign before calling.
I will not interfere with the DX station nor anyone calling and will never tune up on the DX frequency or in the QSX slot.
I will wait for the DX station to end a contact before I call.
I will always send my full call sign.
I will call and then listen for a reasonable interval. I will not call continuously.
I will not transmit when the DX operator calls another call sign, not mine.
I will not transmit when the DX operator queries a call sign not like mine.
I will not transmit when the DX station requests geographic areas other than mine.
When the DX operator calls me, I will not repeat my call sign unless I think he has copied it incorrectly.
I will be thankful if and when I do make a contact.
I will respect my fellow hams and conduct myself so as to earn their respect.

Regole del DXMAN

Io ascolterò, ascolterò ed, ancora, ascolterò.
Io chiamerò la stazione DX solo quando sarò in grado di riceverla chiaramente.
Io non mi fiderò ciecamente del cluster e mi sincererò del nominativo della stazione DX prima di iniziare a chiamare.
Io non interferirò nè con la stazione dx nè con chi la stia collegando e non accorderò sulla sua frequenza o sulla/e frequenza/e di QSX.
Io aspetterò che la stazione DX abbia finito il QSO prima di chiamarla.
Io chiamerò sempre usando il mio nominativo completo.
Io, dopo aver chiamato, ascolterò per un congruo intervallo di tempo. Non chiamerò di continuo.
Io non trasmetterò quando l'operatore DX risponderà ad un'altra stazione.
Io non trasmetterò quando l'operatore DX cercherà di rispondere ad una stazione con un nominativo diverso dal mio.
Io non trasmetterò quando la stazione DX chiamerà un'area geografica diversa dalla mia.
Quando l'operatore DX mi avrà risposto, io non ripeterò il mio nominativo se sarò già sicuro che egli l'abbia correttamente ricevuto.
Io sarò grato per il collegamento effettuato.
Io rispetterò i miei colleghi radioamatori ed agirò in modo da guadagnare il loro rispetto.
