DAYTON
2011 HAMVENTION NEWS...........................
* SWODXA DINNER
BANQUET. Don DuBon, N6JRL, President of SWODXA, announced
on
August 2nd: "Southwest Ohio DX Association (SWODXA) is happy to
announce plans for the 26th annual DX Dinner™. This dinner, which is
held in conjunction with Dayton Hamvention®, will be held on Friday,
May 20, 2011.
Because we realize many attendees make their
plans well in advance,
we want to let you know that our
location for the dinner has changed.
It will be at the Dayton
Marriott located at 1414 S. Patterson Blvd.,
Dayton, OH 45409.
We are excited about our new venue. While it is less than five
minutes from our previous location, it has a much larger capacity,
has been recently renovated, and we will have a new menu selection.
Other advantages are that there are no steps as the dinner will be
held on the ground floor, and there is ample, free, on-site parking.
In our planning meetings, the staff has been very receptive and is
anxious to meet the needs of our attendees and graciously welcomes
SWODXA.
The Marriott is a large hotel with many room
choices. Should you
need accommodations, their phone number is
937 223-1000 or the website
is: http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/dayoh-dayton-marriott.
When tickets become available, more information regarding the
dinner will be posted on our website at www.SWODXA.org.
We
look forward to seeing everyone at the DX Dinner™ at the Marriott
and at Hamvention®. Good Dxing!"

DX0,
SPRATLY ISLANDS (Update). Press Release dated August 6th (edited):
"Only
150 days to go before the scheduled QRV of the multi-operator
DXpedition
on Thitu Island in the Spratlys January 6-24th, 2011, and
more
substantial progress has been achieved.
The Philippines National
Telecommunications Commission has issued the
DX0DX licence and
DXpedition Team Leader Chris Dimitrijevic/VK3FY and
DU8/VK3FY
confirms that the required documentation is filed with the
DXCC
Advisory Committee. Formal DXCC accreditation is expected soon
after
proof is electronically submitted that operators have reached the
island
and DX0DX is on air. It was earlier announced that Bob Schenck,
N2OO,
has been appointed the QSL manager.
Among the current and growing
list of corporate sponsors are ICOM
America which is providing ten
top-line IC7600 transceivers & a IC-9100
Transceiver, Amplifiers
from Acom International, OM Power and THAMWAY Corp.
Antennas from
SteppIR, Spiderbeam and Mosley- Electronics. Bandpass Filters
from
WX0B Array Solutions, Masts from Rohn Products. Ham Radio Outlet,
Head-sets
from Heil Sound, Feeders The RF Connection.
Decisions are now
being finalized on the roles needed for the DXpedition.
The
logistical co-ordination of equipment from sponsors is being headed
by
Charles W6KK where we are basing our shipments.
The massive
logistics exercise to get the equipment, supplies and
operators
shipped to Thitu Island has received confirmation that the boat
to be
used is undergoing its annual dry-dock maintenance and certification.
Other
expertise within the team is being used to plan rostering, logging
and
the many different tasks required to make it a success.
The
team’s medical doctors are ready to assist should anyone become
unwell,
and to also outreach to the island’s residents as part of the
DXpedition’s
humanitarian, health and welfare contribution.
It has also been
learnt that some of the 30 operators lined up for the
DXpedition are
using it as a personal incentive to lose some body weight
as they
prepare for their stay on the island.
This will be especially
helpful for those wishing to frequently walk
between four dedicated
operating camps for SSB, CW, RTTY and 2m & 6m
operation. Not to
mention trips to the mess tent for meals.
Online surveying of
DXers finds that the demand for The Spratlys on
160m to 10m is fairly
equal with each band falling in the 9% - 11% range
after 2,670 votes
received.
The preferred mode survey results to date are SSB
(36%), CW (35%) and
RTTY (27%) with 785 votes cast.
The DX0DX
Team acknowledges the financial support already received from
individual
radio amateurs Brad/WA6JJB, Paul/N6PSE, Marc/DO4DXA, Maurice/
N4LZ,
Vic/W4VIC, Ken/N5TY, Allan/VK2CA, Paul/VK2HV, Scotty/KG9Z, Clay/K7HC,
Mitch/DJ0QN,
Neill/K4ESE, Doyl/AB4IQ, William/K3WA and Billy/W3EL.
Support has
also been given by the IARU Region 3 member society Philippine
Amateur
Radio Association (PARA), DXWORLD, The Daily Dx and ClubLog."
E2/HS,
THAILAND (News)...............................
* Through the
efforts of Radio Amateur Society of Thailand (RAST),
John/HS1CHB
and Charly/HS0ZCW, The Thailand radio authority has
approved,
effective today (August 8th) for all HF bands and all
modes the
new callsign of E2E. This is a real and legitimate call,
sought
because it is so short (and to bring glory to the Kingdom
of
Thailand, and fun for its operators). QSL via HS0AC.
* Charles
Harpole, HS0ZCW/K4VUD, reports: "You can help Thailand
authorities understand the need to authorize full use of the 6 meter
band for Thailand hams (HS and E2). Please send an E-mail via the
Radio Amateur Society of Thailand (RAST), typical below, supporting
this authorization, to the RAST coordinator of this effort: 'John',
HS1CHB, whose E-mail address is his USA callsign at: n9wms@hotmail.com
Example -
To Whom It May Concern:
I
support the allocation of full time use of the amateur ham
radio band of 50 to 54 MHz for all Thailand licensed operators.
I have, for many years, sought a contact with Thailand hams on
this band. There are international awards for such two-way
exchanges, but, to date, it has not been possible. The 50 to 54
MHz band also is important to ham radio contests where
world-wide
efforts to contact Thailand are in demand. This 6
meter band
permission for Thailand can bring Thailand into
agreement with
almost all of the other global countries'
rules, and it complies
with international band-plans.
Further, the allocation of the 6 meter band to Thailand hams
opens a good band for emergency communication uses and relieves
congestion on other bands.
Thank you for your
consideration.
FULL NAME AND ADDRESS (be sure to add your
country name)
------------------------------------
NOTES: Please be sure to be super polite, do not say that past
practice is bad, and include the '50 to 54' MHz phrase. Please
use your own words where ever possible to avoid canned messages,
but a can message is better than no message.
Your help
will make a difference because Thailand never wants to
be first
to do something like this, but never wants to be left out
or
be behind. Thanks and 73,..... Charles Harpole, HS0ZCW"
ET,
ETHIOPIA (Press Release from Chris, GD6TWF). "The following appeal was
made
on: http://dx-world.net/2010/assistance-required/
Hi!
I am Abel (ex-9E2ABL). What I want to ask about is that I have passed
the
RSGB exam and am now properly licensed.. but when I apply for the
license
here I am required to have a radio & I may pay for the custom
duty
here but for the radio that I cannot afford ... so if there is a
way
like an organization to support or anything...that I can get a radio
it
will be so helpful. I hope I will get a positive response.
Thank you, 73 Abel
Following this
appeal Sid May, ET3SID, a British National Resident in
Ethiopia for
decades contacted <www.dx-world.net> to say he had coached
four
young Ethiopians all members of the Ethiopian Amateur Radio Society
("EARS")
though the examination including Abel and stated that all four
were
in the same position they had the qualification to get a license but
could
not afford the cost of buying, shipping and importing equipment.
As
a result of this request several amateurs made offer of help and it
was
decided to form a simple appeal to raise funds and accept donations
of
equipment so that these four young amateurs could get on the air.
The
appeal is called Amateur Radio In Ethiopia ("ARIE") and a webpage
has
been launched at <http://tinyurl.com/ETproject> which gives all the
information
and details on how to donate.
We have already had offers of
equipment and cash donations from UK,
Germany, New Zealand, UK, USA
and Isle of Man.
The appeal has been designed so anyone can donate
according to means.
That old rig gathering dust on the shelf would
change someone's life. A
small donation would allow us to buy PL259's
or a few metres of coax. A
big donation would allow us to ship a
donated rig out.
We welcome donations from individuals, clubs,
societies, associations,
dx-groups any where in the world. If your
business is interested in being
involved please contact us to see how
we can work together.
We passionately believe that this
organization will have a life long
impact on the recipients, help
people enjoy their hobby who, without your
help, would not be able to
do so. Contributed towards equipping Ethiopian
hams who will be
making contacts and giving many other hams a new DXCC
country while
at the same time developing their own valuable technical
skills and
career prospects. For any questions please look at our Website
<http://tinyurl.com/ETproject>
or contact Chris Wood at: gd6twf@iom.com

QSLING CYPRUS STATIONS. Alan,
5B4AHJ, CARS QSL Bureau Manager, reports:
"The QSL Bureau of the
Cyprus Amateur Radio Society (CARS) is receiving
large numbers of
QSLs that cannot be delivered to the intended recipient,
because
that station has a QSL manager outside Cyprus.
The problem is
threefold:
a) Those generating the QSLs are not bothering to
check to see if
the station has a manager.
b) Even if
a manager's call is written on the QSL, many QSL Bureaus

VQ9, CHAGOS ISLANDS (News).
Larry, N0QM/VQ9LA, on Diego Garcia (AF-006)
informs OPDX: "The VQ9X
club station lost the HYGAIN 14 ELEMENT HF LOG
PERIODIC ANTENNA early
July 2010 due to a Boom to Mast Clamp failure,
the antenna is now on
the ground and will be repaired in the future.
When the antenna
fell off the mast it took out the 40M dipole, Wire
V-Beam, and 2
meter repeater antenna.
The V-beam was repaired on 30th July 2010
by VQ9LA and VQ9JC, now the
VQ9X club is on the air with the 270 foot
per leg ladder line V-Beam.
The 160m antenna will be off the air
until the Log Periodic is put
back up on the tower. This fine antenna
has provided many contacts with
the world wide DX community for the
past 11 years and will be missed.
I returned back to Diego Garcia
on 26 July 2010 after being off the
Island for a few months.... 73,
Larry VQ9LA"
