UA4WHX, is now active as CE0Y/UA4WHX from Easter Island. As always, his

length of stay is unknown. Activity will be on all HF bands using CW,

SSB and RTTY. QSL via his home callsign (see QRZ.com).

CY0, SABLE ISLAND. The 60m News reports that as part of Canada's 60m

permission, they are hopeful that Aaron, VA1AXC, the new island manager,

will be on 60m soon. Gary, K4AVC, made, tested and shipped an Inverted

been working on this for some time along with Murray/WA4DAN, Gary/VE1RGB

and Gary/K4AVC. Stay tune for more updates.

D4, CAPE VERDE. Jorg, DL3LUM/PA1MUC, will be active as D44TXU from Santa

Maria, Sal Island (AF-086), between April 19-25th. Activity will be holiday

style on 20 meters mainly (possibly higher bands), and operating QRP

the DARC QSL Bureau.

DXCC NEWS. Bill Moore, NC1L, ARRL Awards Branch Manager, reports on the

Crimea and DXCC situation: Upon request of the CEO, the ARRL Awards

committee evaluated the situation at present in Crimea against the DXCC

rules. As the interpreter of the rules, the following is the Awards

Committee's decision on how to "count" QSOs with stations operating

from Crimea.

Crimea is not a DXCC entity. Neither Russia nor Ukraine is a rare

entity and the vast majority of confirmations used for DXCC credit for

either entity do not involve Crimea.

DXCC Rule 4 reads:

"4. Confirmation data for two-way communications must include the

call signs of both stations, the entity name as shown in the DXCC

List, mode, date, time and band. Except as permitted in Rule 1,

cross-mode contacts are not permitted for DXCC credits. Confirmations

not containing all required information may be rejected."

A QSL with a call sign issued by the administration of Ukraine and

showing the entity name as Ukraine counts as Ukraine.

A QSL with a call sign issued by the administration of Russia and

showing the entity name as Russia counts as Russia.

A QSL that satisfies neither condition does not count for either entity.

73 es DX!

FT4T, TROMELIN (Update). The FT4TA DXpedition team to Tromelin Island,

which takes place between October 30th and November 10th, have announced

their pilots stations and posted a link on their Web site. The following

pilots stations were named:

Chief Pilot - Col, MM0NDX; E-mail address:

Asia/Japan - Harumi, JR4OZR; E-mail address:

Europe/Africa - Bjorn, ON9CFG; E-mail address:

Oceania - Al, ZL2AL; E-mail address:

North America (*East Coast) / South America - Don, N1DG;

North America (*West Coast) - Rich, KY6R; E-mail address:

* To avoid confusion on the definition of East Coast and West Coast,

they decided that the boundary is the Mississippi River. All that is

in the West should be sent to the pilot West Coast and vice versa.

Naturally, if an error occurs, your application will be all the same

consideration. They recommend that you simply stick to detailed

regional organization above. They also remind you that the drivers

(pilots) will not have access to the logs. Any requests for QSO data

are to be sent to QSL Manager only.

Rusty Epps/W6OAT and Ken Anderson/K6TA retired from the board this year

Our scholarship funds will be directed toward supporting new DXers (age

25 or less) at CT University sessions over the next two years.

DXpeditions to the rare and most difficult entities.

At the International DX Convention banquet, we were presented a generous

check of $12,000 from the Southern California DX Club.

The board is grateful for the generous contributions from the DX

community, without such support, DXpeditions to the Most Wanted and hard

to get to entities would not happen. Have you donated yet? You can make
