QSL INFORMATION -
PIRACY
On March 24 & 25 2012 a station appeared on the band signing TO4E, and
sending as QTH Europa Island, AF 009.
Would you note that since the genuine TO4E dxpedition to Europa in 2003 no ,
but no activity has been authorized from this island, and of course there's no
activity in this moment.
The block of prefix used in 2003 is no longer in use. ; For Europa since
four years the block of prefix is FT5Exx and no licence has been issued to
anyone.
The access to Europa is forbidden except under special authorisation.
As a reminder, Europa and the other islands of the Iles éparses are now
under the authority of the French Austral and Antarctic Territories authority,
which has in charge the following: Terre Adélie: FT5Y, Crozet: FT5W, Amsterdam:
FT5Z, Kerguelen: F5TX, Glorieuses: FT5G, Tromelin: FT5T, Europa: FT5E and Juan
de Nova: FT5J.
The FR5/G, /T, /E, /J blocks of prefixes no longer exist;
Didier, F5OGL, QSL manager of the TO5E 2003, EUROPA will not answer the
cards for this so so activity in 2012.
Thanks to Didier, F5OGL for the information.

Luxembourg Issues Stamp to Celebrate 75 Years of Amateur Radio -
Founded in 1937, the Réseau Luxembourgeois des Amateurs d'Ondes Courtes
(RL) -- that country's IARU Member-Society -- is celebrating its 75th
anniversary. In honor of this milestone, Luxembourg's Entreprise des Postes et
Télécommunications (P&TLuxembourg) has issued a .60 Euro postage stamp (about 80
cents in US dollars); P&TLuxembourg is that country's government owned
corporation for mail and telecommunications. This is one of three commemorative
stamps issued by Luxembourg in 2012. [ARRL]
------------------------------
NTIA: No Objection to Additional Data Modes on 60 Meters:
In response to requests for clarification from the ARRL, the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has confirmed that it
has no objection to the use of a broader range of data emissions by amateurs on
the five 5 MHz frequencies on 60 meters. ARRL's original understanding was that
the NTIA preferred that the use of 2K80J2D emission be limited to Pactor III.
The NTIA now says that that is not the case.
In an e-mail response to ARRL Chief Executive Officer David Sumner, K1ZZ,
Karl Nebbia, Associate Administrator of the NTIA Office of Spectrum Management,
stated, "NTIA has no interest in limiting the types of emission used by the
amateurs as long as the data emission does not exceed the 2.8 kHz bandwidth
generated by the upper sideband transmitter." Nebbia referred all further
inquiries to the FCC, which "...sets the conditions for use of the five 5 MHz
frequencies by the amateurs."
The requirement of only one signal per channel remains, as well as the
prohibition against automatic operation. The FCC continues to require that all
digital transmissions be centered on the channel-center frequencies, which the
Report and Order defines as being 1.5 kHz above the suppressed carrier frequency
of a transceiver operated in the Upper Sideband (USB) mode. This is typically
the frequency shown on the frequency display.
Channel USB Suppressed Carrier (kHz) Center (kHz)
1 5330.5 5332.0
2 5346.5 5348.0
3 5357.0 5358.5
4 5371.5 5373.0
5 5403.5 5405.0
The ARRL advises amateurs to operate with care when using digital modes in
consideration of the fact that hams are secondary users on these frequencies.
See the revised 60-Meter FAQ page on the ARRL Web at,
http://www.arrl.org/60-meter-faq.
The revised ARRL 60-Meter Recommended Practices document can also be found
in PDF form on the web at,
http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Regulatory/Recommended_Practices_Version_6_5.pdf.
