SPECIAL EVENTS -

DL, GERMANY
- The sinking of the passenger liner Titanic has its 100th anniversary on 15
April, 2012. After hitting an iceberg the ship sank 300 nautical miles southeast
of Newfoundland. Unfortunately, only about 700 of the 2200 passengers and crew
members were rescued. It was one of the worst maritime disasters of civilian
shipping. This resulted in numerous measures to accelerate the rescue of people
at high seas. An international radio distress frequency was introduced and the
duty to its constant monitoring. Even today these decisions are still valid and
are written down in the SOLAS treaty, adapted to the technical possibilities of
today. The local DARC club in Schoenau (S65) commemorates this historic event
and the beginning of coordinated emergency communications with the special
callsign DM100MGY until 31 December, 2012. They will also hand out the special

P43JB  SILENT KEY -
It is our sad duty to report the passing of Johan (Joop) Box at approximately
17:00 GMT today, Thursday, January 19, 2012. He had a severely infected kidney.
When the doctors tried to remove it, they found the area surrounding it full of
infection, so they could not remove the kidney. His wife, Yvonne, and daughter,
Barbara, Sue, myself and Lisandro, P43L, were with him when he passed away. He
was a hell of a guy and will be sorely missed. Services are pending. Please
include this announcement in all of the appropriate reflectors. 73 Carl

BITS & PIECES -

Cuban Radio Amateur Service Regulations Have Been Modified -
    Cuban radio amateur service regulations have been modified to provide
the use of segments of the 80 and 40 meter ham bands to the third class
operators license holders, that before these new rules could only operate
on segments of the 160 and 2 meter bands. The news was much welcomed by
the more than two thousand operators that hold a CL prefix callsign...
the first step in a Cuban radio amateur career... By the way, *the CL
prefix holders do not need to pass a CW Morse Code radiotelegraphy test*,
but they do have to take a 5 words per minute receiving and also
transmitting test in order to upgrade towards a second class operators
certificate that opens the way to obtain a CM prefix callsign, that
provides access to many more operating privileges...
    So, if you start hearing stations on the 40 meter band from *7100 to
7125 kiloHertz* using a CL prefix, be aware that they are a new
generation of Cuban radio amateurs that for the first time ever are
having access to working DX on 40 meters... The segment assigned to the
CL stations on 80 meters span from *3550 to 3750 kiloHertz*, but very
probably you will hear them much more often on 40 meters because the
seven megaHertz ham band is open for long distance contacts much more
frequently than the 80 meters band. The maximum power allowed to the CL
prefix stations, the Cuban beginners license has been set at *10 Watts*,
that they can use on *CW, Single Side band and double sideband voice*.

UK Radio Amateurs Special Callsigns -

The Radio Society of Great Britain and Ofcom have reached agreement on the
optional use of special callsigns for two significant events during 2012. For
the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, all UK amateur stations will have the option of
applying for a variation to their licence if they wish, to use a special prefix
for a five week period. This will add or substitute the letter "Q" in the place
of the Regional identifier in the callsign. For the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, all
UK amateur stations will have the option of applying for a variation to their
licence if they wish, to use a special prefix for a five week period. This will
add or substitute the letter "Q" in the place of the Regional identifier in the
callsign. Special prefix to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee: Period: 00.00
BST 5th May 2012 to 23.59 BST 10th June 2012. Special prefix to celebrate the
Queen's Diamond Jubilee: Period: 00.00 BST 5th May 2012 to 23.59 BST 10th June
2012. Full info at: www.rsgb.org/news/articlelinks.php?id=0263

Deletion Of Malyj Vysotskij -

The day of deletion has now been confirmed: Finnish and Russian ambassadors met
January 17th and exchanged the documents signed by the presidents of both
countries. The new agreement of the lease of Saimaa Channel will be in force one
month from today - February 17th. As the new agreement does not include Malyj
Vysotskij, the island will be deleted from the DXCC-list the day before,
February 16th 2012. This is, of course, subject to the decision of ARRL DXCC
Committee. It's unlikely that any DXpedition will come on from the island before
the deletion, although our Russian friends would have a possibility to do it.
