3B9, RODRIGUES ISLAND. Eric, OE4AAC, will be active as 3B9/OE4AAC from
Rodrigues Island (AF-017) between February 14-21st. Activity will be on
40-10 meters CW. QSL via OE4AAC.

3DA, SWAZILAND (Update). Operators Phil/G3SWH and John/G3OLU (aka EA5ARC)
will be active as 3DA0PW from the Hawane Resort in western Swaziland
between February 21-29th. The Hawane Resort has a well equipped station
with Elecraft K3 transceivers, ICOM IC2KL amplifiers, an A4S at 24m and
an A3WS at 20m, a wire 4 square for 40m and a vertical for 80m complete
with 30 x 20m long radials. Activity will be on CW only on all bands 80-10
meters. There will be no 160, 6 meters or EME activity. Propagation
permitting, they plan to have two stations on the air for as many hours
every day 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. QSL via G3SWH, either via the OQRS
facility on Phil's Web site <www.g3swh.org.uk> (preferred), direct with
SAE and adequate return postage, or via the Bureau. Subject to a good
Internet connection, there will be an on-line log on Phil's Web site and
daily uploads to LoTW. The 3DA0PW Web site is now up and running at:
                      http://www.g3swh.org.uk/3da0pw.html

4G, PHILIPPINES (Special Event). Look for special event station 4G0LD to
be active during 2012. Activity is to celebrate the 50th anniversary of
the Philippine Amateur Radio League (PARL). QSL via the Bureau. Also,
the PARL is sponsoring a commemorative Diploma for amateur radio stations
that have established two-way communications with at least twelve (12)
QSOs with PARL members. Look for more details at:
                  http://www.dx1l.dxhams.net/events.htm 

5H, TANZANIA. Maurizio, IK2GZU, will once again return to the "Mission
Ilembula" to do some work at the new hospital and orphanage between
March 4th and April 4th. He plans to be active during his spare time
as 5H3MB on the HF bands. Maurizio will use his FT-100 and the mission's
TS-850 into a tri-band 3 element beam (20/15/10m) fixed on Europe and a
vertical or dipole for the other bands. QSL via IK2GZU, direct or by the
Bureau. Also, LoTW (after his return home).

6Y5, JAMAICA. Gerhard, OE3GEA, will be active as OE3GEA/6Y5 from Jamaica
(NA-097, WLOTA 0214) between February 2-12th. Activity will be holiday
style, mainly CW, operating only 50 watts into an Outbacker antenna or
dipole. QSL via his home callsign.

9A20, CROATIA (Special Event). Look for several Croatian stations to use
the "9A20" prefix from now until December 31st. Activity is to celebrate
the 20th anniversary of the 9A prefix for Croatia. Details for a special
"9A 20" award are available at:        http://www.hamradio.hr

9H, MALTA. Peter, G3PHO, will be active as 9H3C from Gozo Island (EU-023)
between March 8-15th. Activity will be on 80-10 meters and possibly 160m.

his home callsign or LoTW.

A3, TONGA (News). Paul Kidd, A35RK/A35A, informs OPDX the following two
news items from Tonga:
  1) A35CT is no longer in Tonga....Craig left for the States, and he
    isn't coming back anytime soon...certainly not within the next year.

  2) A35A (A35RK) is packing up to leave Tonga very soon. A final depar-
    ture date is set for 16th January 2012, and there is no definite
    return date. Paul states, "I will be taking down antennas and packing
    radios for shipment to the States in 2 days (December 31st)." His
    last date of activity was December 30th. A35RK/A35A has been active
    from Tonga since 4th May 1994, but that is about to end for an
    indefinite period of time. Any lingering QSLs are good via LoTW or
    W7TSQ.

ARRL DXCC DIAMOND AWARD. During the year 2012, the ARRL's DXCC Award
program will be celebrating their 75th anniversary, and as you know
this is the world's preeminent DXing award. So reaching this "Diamond
milestone", the ARRL decided to celebrate this event by going back to
the roots of the award, and specifically reading the 1937 DXCC List
(January 1937 QST, pages 52-53) to learn what countries were counted
at the onset which led them to create the "Diamond DXCC Challenge". The
country list that they will be using for the "Diamond DXCC Challenge"
is based upon the list of 231 places shown in 1937. The list is available
at: http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Diamond%20DXCC/QST_Jan_1937_p52-53.pdf
The League has added some interesting twists to this award (ex. where
working one country may count for two entities!). The "Diamond DXCC
Challenge" is an "Honor Award" and will not require acquisition or
inspection of QSLs or proof of confirmation. The Diamond DXCC certificate
will be available for working 100 of the 226 entities and will be
endorsable at 5 levels: 125, 150, 175, 200, and 225. If anyone works
all 226, there will be a special award for that remarkable achievement!
There will also be awards for the top finishers. For complete details
and picture of the award, go to:

CCF NEWSLETTER. Martti, OH2BH, reports that the latest and last 2011
issue of the Contest Club Finland's Newsletter, PileUp! - is now available
online. This will also be the last publication by the current editorial
team. The newsletter is in English (for most part) and includes interesting
articles, and can be viewed at:

CY0, SABLE ISLAND (Postponed!). The latest update, dated December 30th,
states (edited): "Hi Everyone - Unfortunately, we had to postpone the
Sable Island CY0 DXpedition due to the landing area on the island being
under water. A winter storm with 20+ foot swells pushed water onto the
sand 'runway' on Wednesday evening. Al Wilson, the OIC on Sable, made
an assessment of the landing area yesterday. Ron and I talked with Al
and there was no possibility of a flight to the island in the next five
days. After that, it would depend on how quickly the water would drain
from the landing area and if any other storms affect the island. At that
point, we decided to postpone the DXpedition.
  Needless to say, we are extremely disappointed that we have had to
postpone the DXpedition. We have learned first-hand there is really no
season of the year that is ideal for flights. Late yesterday morning we
met with Ted of Maritime Air. Ted advised it has been the worst year he
has experienced as far as scheduling flights. Maritime Air provides
logistical flight services to Environment Canada on the island.
  Even though we are disappointed, we are not defeated. Maritime Air
allowed us to store our gear to help facilitate our next attempt. We are
discussing two options with the Sable Island station.
  We appreciate your interest in the DXpedition. We have received a lot
of encouragement from DX'ers around the world. Continue to check the
DXpedition Web site for updates at:    http://www.cy0dxpedition.com

NCDXF CHRISTMAS GIFT. Glenn Johnson, W0GJ, NCDXF Vice President, informed
OPDX on December 25th (edited): "Today, the Northern California DX
Foundation announced a 'Christmas gift' of 500 USDs to help rebuild and
re-equip the Radio Amateur Society of Thailand's (RAST) HS0AC Club station
that was destroyed by recent flooding.
  By now, you may have heard about the severe floods in Thailand this
past fall, resulting in devastating damage everywhere -- including the
Radio Amateur Society of Thailand (RAST) and their famous 'HS0AC' club
station which were completely destroyed. This website shows it all in
horrific detail:                http://www.qsl.net/rast
  RAST is also part of the Asian Technical Institute. The HS0AC club
station is located within the Institute.  http://www.ait.ac.th
  Please help Thailand hams by donating any amount via PayPal at
donate@rast.or.th during this season of giving. All donations will go
entirely to rebuilding the station.
  For the past 40 years, NCDXF had not only been funding major DXpeditions,
but is also committed to education and scholarships.
  Merry Christmas to all and Healthy New Year filled with DX!!!"

HK0, MALPELO ISLAND (NCDXF Press Release). [dates Jan. 1st - edited]
  The Northern California DX Foundation is pleased to announce a contri-
bution of 15,000 USDs to the HK0NA Malpelo DXpedition which will take
place from January 21st to February 5-6th, 2012. Malpelo is #12 on the
DX Magazine's Most Wanted List for 2011.
  Team co-leader Bob Allphin, K4UEE, states that, "Malpelo is probably
the most physically challenging DXpedition I have ever participated in.
An advance team of four (HK1MW, HK1N, HK1T & HK6F) left Christmas day
with nearly 4 tons of gear to transport to the island.  They will establish
two camps, one at the 300 foot level and another at near the top at the
800 foot level and set up antennas and stations which should be ready
when the main team arrives January 21st. Without major financial support
from NCDXF, DXpeditions like this to challenging or rare locations would
not be possible." No one has ever operated from the top of the island
before, hence the western North America and Asia/Oceana have a much
higher need for Malpelo. See http://hk0na.com
  For the past 40 years the NCDXF has funded major DXpeditions to many
Most Wanted Entities. The credit for these large grants goes to the
NCDXF contributors who make DX like this possible.  Have you contributed
yet?  <www.ncdxf.org>
    73 es Happy New Year!

    NCDXF Vice President
