DXCC NEWS ---> The recent 3W3MD and 3W3MD/p  operations  from  Vietnam  have
been approved for DXCC credit.

IARU  90  --->  Currently  celebrating   the    90th    anniversary  of  the
International Amateur Radio Union are also  SU90IARU  from  Egypt  (November
and December, QSL  via  OM3CGN),  YB90IARU  from  Indonesia  (1  November-31
December, QSL via bureau), VI90IARU from  Australia  (QSL  via  bureau)  and
LY90IARU from Lithuania (2 November-31 December, QSL via LY8O).  The  latter
callsigns was first activated in April by LY3BY,  who  unfortunately  passed
away in August. Apparently it has been impossible to retrieve those logs.

IOTA BASH 2016 ---> The  12th  annual  IOTA  Bash  will  be  held  on  26-27
February in Boerne, Texas. For  further  information,  please  contact  Mike
Crownover,  AB5EB  (ab5ebdxer[@]gmail.com)  or  visit  the    IREF   website
(www.islandradio.org). [TNX AB5EB]

INDEXA  NEWSLETTER  --->  The  Fall  2015  issue  of  the  International  DX
Association's  (INDEXA)  Newsletter  is  now  available  for    download  at
www.indexa.org/newsletters.html. This issue (#111) features  the  report  of
the FT4TA DXpedition to Tromelin which  concluded  in  November  2014.  [TNX
W3OA]

IOTA NEWS ---> Record-holders  who  have  made  IOTA  contacts  in  an  IOTA
contest after 2003, can claim  credit  for  them  without  submitting  QSLs,
provided that the contact details match, either  by  manually  entering  the
QSO information on the input form or by uploading  a  Cabrillo  format  log.
The 2015 IOTA Contest data has now been uploaded to the  IOTA  database  and
is available for  QSO  matching.  This  is  significantly  earlier  than  in
previous years and we should thank all on the IT side involved. [TNX G3KMA]

K1N DVD ---> The DVD of the February 2015 DXpedition to  Navassa  Island  is
now available: see www.k4uee.com for the details. "It took  eight  years  to
send men to the moon, but it took thirteen years to get permission to  visit
Navassa Island. The long road involved getting permission from the  US  Fish
and Wildlife Service, because Navassa has been declared a National  Wildlife
Refuge. The DVD shows the logistical challenge of moving  fifteen  operators
and tons of gear to this small uninhabited island in the Caribbean.  It  was
hot work - and expensive - since the only practical way  to  get  there  was
via helicopter. This two-week effort paid off with 140,000  QSOs  and  many,
many all-time new ones, as tens of thousands of hams worldwide weren't  even
licensed the last time Navassa Island was activated in 1993".

THE END OF AN ERA ---> The DX Magazine's annual Most Wanted Survey has  come
to an end. "For the past few years I have been  comparing  the  DX  Magazine
survey results with the one available  from  Michael  Wells,  G7VJR  on  his
ClubLog  web  site",  Carl  Smith  (N4AA)  says.  "The  two    results  have
consistently closely paralleled each other. After serious consideration,  it
seemed to me that the  ClubLog  Most  Wanted  information  would  adequately
serve the DX community. The one conducted  by  The  DX  Magazine  would  not
offer enough difference to justify the cost in time, or  money,  for  it  to
continue. I want to thank the  thousands  of  DXers,  world-wide,  who  have
supported The DX Magazine survey for the past 25  years".  The  DX  Magazine
(http://www.dxpub.net/DX-Magazine.html)  "will  continue  to  provide  DXers
with the stories of DXpeditioners traveling to the far reaches of the  earth
to provide you with those cherished contacts from rare and exotic places.  I
want to encourage the organizers/leaders of those  DXpeditions  to  continue
offering their stories. By telling others, who, what, where,  when  and  how
you made that operation possible, the story can be the final chapter of  the
DXpedition. It might also inspire others to  make  the  effort  to  organize
their own DXpedition, or to at least make  a  donation  to  the  next  major
DXpedition".

YASME EXCELLENCE AWARD ---> In 2008  The  Yasme  Foundation  (www.yasme.org)
established the Yasme Excellence Awards,  to  be  presented  to  those  who,
through their own service, creativity, effort and dedication,  have  made  a
significant contribution to  amateur  radio.  The  contribution  may  be  in
recognition of technical, operating or organizational  achievement,  as  all
three are necessary for amateur  radio  to  grow  and  prosper.  The  latest
recipient, announced on 13 November, is  the  N1MM+  Development  Team  (Tom
Wagner N1MM, Rick Ellison  N2AMG,  Steve  London  N2IC,  John  Bednar  K3CT,
Nikolay Safronov NA3M, Pete Smith N4ZR, Andreas Hofman KU7T, Larry  Gauthier
K8UT and Richard Ferch VE3KI). "The initial N1MM Classic is a  sophisticated
logging program offered at no cost to contesters around the world. N1MM+  is
a major revision to the original program  and  was  a  completely  volunteer
effort of thousands of  programmer-hours  to  rewrite  and  test  more  than
250,000 lines of code (www.n1mm.com).  The  program  continues  to  be  made
available without charge and continues to be refined  on  a  regular  basis,
supported by an extensive user group and full documentation". [TNX W6SZN]

정말 교신할곳은 많은데...
아무래도 퇴직을 해야 저많은곳을 교신할수 있을것같습니다.

[HL2VA]

그렇지요. 평일에 시간을 내기는 정말 어려운것 같아요.
댓글 감사합니다.^^

[DS4AOW]

빽빽히 적혀있는 수많은 정보들을 보노라면
왜이리 마음이 급해지는지... ㅎㅎ
아무래도 욕심을 좀 접어두는 연습이 필요한가 봅니다.^^;
정보 감사드립니다.

[HL2VA]

올해 못하면 내년에 하면되고, 내년에 못하면 퇴직 후에 하면 되지요.ㅎㅎㅎ
