CTU USA 2010. Tim Duffy, K3LR, Contest University Chairman, reports:
"I am pleased to announce that 'early bird' registration for Dayton
ConTest University ('CTU') 2010 is now OPEN. This will be the only
Contest University held in the USA during 2010. Our 4th year holding
CTU in Dayton!
The CTU staff is working hard to prepare an interesting and informative
curriculum for 2010. CTU USA will be held in Dayton, Ohio, on Thursday,
May 13, 2010 (classes last all day). This is the day before the big 3 day
Dayton event!
CTU USA 2010 will feature some of the best Radio Contest operators and
station builders ('CTU Professors'). They will present state of the art
contesting topics that will increase your contesting knowledge and fun.
Thanks to our flagship Sponsor -Icom America for their continued
support of CTU USA 2010 and our contesting radio sport. Also thanks to
CQ Magazine, DX Engineering, Superbertha, International Radio and Dave,
W9ZRX, for their contributions that help make CTU a success.
For CTU USA 2010 details, registration and more information, go to:
http://www.contestuniversity.com/
Please make sure that you click on the registration page and indicate
if you are a returning CTU graduate or if this is your first time
attending Dayton CTU.
Based upon the tremendous attendance at Dayton CTU 2009, I expect
Dayton CTU 2010 student registration slots will fill up fast. Space is
limited.
Contest University traveled to the United Kingdom and Italy during 2009.
Both locations had tremendous response with hundreds of students. CTU will
be held in England and Italy again during 2010. There will be announcements
next month of additional Europe Contest University locations.

Dayton! Thanks to Scott, KA9FOX and QTH.com for his hosting of the Contest
University Web site! Merry Christmas and 73!"
CHINESE BIRD VERY ACTIVE (XW-1 Satellite News). The new Chinese satellite
XW-1 (HOPE-1) was in the linear transponder mode over South and North
America on December 20th, between 0222Z and 0246Z for the first time.
The passband was filled with stations over the U.S. with excellent signals.
K8YSE reported making 13 contacts on this pass.
XW-1 is at an altitude of 1200KM, more than 400KM higher than the popular
AO-51, SO-50 and AO-27 satellites. This means a longer visible pass and
more distance. Contacts with Europe are possible with the eastern US.
XW-1 will be in the FM mode between 0153 and 0228Z, December 21st over
South and North America for the first time. One watt of output power makes
this satellite easier to hear, so many are expected to be making contacts
on this pass. A recording of the SSB pass can be downloaded at:
http://www.papays.com/XW-1_20Dec2009_022218z.mp3
The FM pass will eventually be uploaded to the following file:
http://www.papays.com/XW-1_21Dec2009_020500z.mp3
Congratulations to the Chinese Team that designed, built and launched
this satellite. Details can be found on the AMSAT Web site at:

DXCC NEWS (2009 DXCC Yearbook Final Reminder). Bill Moore, NC1L, ARRL
Awards Branch Manager, reports: "Just a last-minute final reminder that
if you have not made your 2009 submission, you must make a submission in
order to appear in the next yearbook. The submission must be postmarked
on or by December 31, 2009.
If you are current on the DXCC Honor Roll (minimum of 329 'current' DXCC
entities) you will automatically be listed and you DO NOT need to make a
submission. However, if you are not current on the Honor Roll you must make
a submission in order to be listed.
Also, in order for an award to appear in the Annual List, first the award
must be 'active' (Meaning you must have a certificate). Just qualifying for
an award does not mean it will appear. Also, for an active award to appear
your total on that category MUST increase by at least one point. (eg: If
you had 300 in 2008 for 10 Meters and in 2009 your number remaining at 300,
the 10 meter listing will not appear in the Annual List. But, if your
number increased to, at least 301, then your active award will appear.
Also, only ARRL members (during the 2009 calendar year) receive the free
copy. (The cost of the yearbook is to be determined soon).
The 2009 DXCC Yearbook will now be handled as an official ARRL
publication that will no longer be handled by the DXCC Branch directly.
Orders for the yearbook will now be available only via the ARRL catalog.
(This will not affect those who qualify for the free copy).
