6O, SOMALIA. A team of Italian operators, active as 6O0CW from Galkayo
will go QRT on May 18th. As of 2035z, May 12th, their log show that they
have made a total of 33013 QSOs with 12808 unique callsigns (14135/SSB,
14824/CW and 4054/RTTY). QSL via I2YSB, direct or by the OQRS. For more
details, visit their Web page at:    http://www.i2ysb.com/joomla5
A forum for the 6O0CW operation is available at: http://www.hamradioweb.net

be active as 6O3A from Hargeisa between May 25-31st. Activity will be on

6O, SOMALIA (6O3A Press Release #2, dated May 12th). Paul Ewing/N6PSE,
from "The Intrepid-DX Group", reports: "Due to the recent activation of
Somalia by the 6O0CW group, the Intrepid-DX Group has decided to cancel
our previously announced plans to conduct a DXpedition in November 2012,
as 6O3A. We feel that the need for 6O contacts has been sufficiently
diminished to make it worth-while to continue with our plans. In the
coming days we will refund 100% of all donations made to us. We hope to
make other rare activations for 2013. Our friend, Darko Rusman-E70A
continues to hold the 6O3A license and will be active from time to time
from Somaliland.... Thank you, Paul N6PSE, The Intrepid-DX Group"

7O6, YEMEN. The international team of operators active as 7O6T from
Socotra Island (AF-028) will go QRT at 2100z, May 15th. New team members

the same flight, operators Vlad/R7LV, Andrew/UA3AB, Paul/N6PSE and Harry/
RA3AUU returned back home. It was mentioned that the team does NOT have
6 meter privileges, so all 50 MHz operations are the work of a PIRATE.
Also, on Sunday, May 13th, the 7O6T requests, "We would like to ask
Europeans not to make 3rd or 4th QSO on RTTY just to fill another Club
Log band/mode spot. Give a chance to others!"
  The 7O6T log shows (per ClubLOG dated May 13th, at 0236z): 136373 Total
QSOs and 33401 with Unique Calls. Mode breakdown: 71151/CW, 61541/SSB

DXCC NEWS (Card Checker and 160 Meters). Bill Moore, NC1L, ARRL Awards
Branch Manager, reports: "In order to facilitate retrieval of DXCC card
checkers for the DXCC, WAS, VUCC and WAC programs besides the individual
search feature on the DXCC web site, I have also posted a link to a file
called DXCC Card Checker Master. This link will take you to the complete
list of card checkers worldwide. In addition, an added purpose for this
file is to help you locate a card checker near you that is authorized to
check 160 Meters.
  Remember, all checkers can now check deleted entities but certain
restrictions still apply to 160 meters, as follows:
  In the attached file you'll see entries that are in 'BOLD/RED'.
  These checkers are authorized to check 160 Meter cards. As per the
  new rule only card checkers with an active 160 Meter DXCC award account
  are authorized to verify 160 Meters. If your card checker is not noted
  in 'bold/red' please do not take 160 Meter cards for them to check.
  In addition to the 'bold/red' a notation of '160M' is noted next to
  their callsign in superscript which also notes this permission.

  Please see this link which will take you to the master list:
          http://www.arrl.org/dxcc-card-checker-master-1
  The search feature to do a search by your state or country for your
local card checker is still available, but at this time there is no note
that indicates they are eligible to check 160 Meters:

IOTA DXPEDITION (Postponed!). Rick, K6VVA, has announced that his "IOTA
DXpedition (NA-175, NA-050 and NA-004) has now been rescheduled for
hopefully better propagation during 2013. The far Northern Latitude has
additional propagation factor complications, so in considering the total
Big Picture involved, a QRX was deemed necessary to maximize possibilities
for all IOTA Chasers to make QSOs." His new target date is in July 2013.
Stay tuned for more details on his "KL7 North Slope IOTA EXTRAVAGANZA!!",

  NEW QSL MANAGER. As of May 9th, Buzz, NI5DX, is the new QSL Manager for
  Wayne, ZL2WL. Once the log file is transferred, Buzz will be able to
  confirm past contacts with ZL2WL, as well as any future QSOs. QSL cards
  will need to be printed, so please be patient and allow 6 weeks for the
  cards to be delivered. Wayne is very happy that his contacts will now
  be able to be confirmed with a QSL card. He has not sent out cards
  since his wife, ZL2MAB, became a SK last November, as she handled the
  QSL duties.

  PR2I (SA-024 and SA-071) QSL STATUS. Fred, IK7JWX, informs that there
  are many problems and he hopes to send all QSLs out soon. He is sorry
  for the delay.

  SU9VB AND LoTW. Vladimir, UA4WHX, announced on May 9th: "Important!
  LoTW -- I have currently indefinitely totally discontinued uploading
  any newer latest QSOs until the system is slightly more manageable
  and more user logical and friendly." For QSLs, see QRZ.com under SU9VB.

SILENT KEY. It is sad to report that Larry Gandy, AH8LG, became a Silent
Key (SK) on May 8th. Tets, AH7C, reports, "He was one of the most active
DXer and contester on the island. He also took care of very many DXers
that were not only just visiting there but also going to other Pacific
islands for DXpeditions. We lost a big star in the Pacific." OPDX and its
readers would like to send out our deepest sympathy to his wife Uti/KS6FO,
and the family and friends of AH6LG.

because I am still commuting back and forth between Thailand and Myanmar.
I understand that free accommodation is being arranged for me in Kawthaung
(better be atop the big hill), and once I have an established QTH I'll
be able to bring in more radio gear and build some better antennas. QSL
cards are almost at the printer (meaning that Gennady has my initial image
files, but I haven't yet given him the go-ahead to print)."  For more
details, updates, an online log search and QSL info, please visit his
Web and Twitter pages at:            http://www.xz1k.org
