3Y0X, PETER I ISLAND
NEWS. The 3Y0X team is now active. The ship reached
the island early February
6th around 0135z. The first helicopter load
landed on Peter I Island at 1830z
on February 7th. All but three members
of the Team went ashore; the last
helicopter trip for the day was at 0230z.
Only 80% of the gear was
transferred that day, and the remaining three Team
members stayed on the
ship. On February 11th, around 0230z, the weather
cooperated and they were
(finally) able to get the other three Team members
ashore along with all of
the remaining supplies and gear. By the time you
read this, the team plan (as
this was being written) is to have 8 stations
active on Monday. According to
the 3Y0X Web page, the Team will always be
transmitting on/near the indicated
frequency below and listening up the
band (spread to be announced by the
operator). Please do NOT call on their

Online logs are now available on:
http://www.peterone.com/p1log.htmlDon, N1DG, Chief 3Y0X Pilot Station, states, "Please be
reminded that the
online logs are not official. Some 20 meters QSOs may have
wrong mode,
and a few 17 meters QSOs may be missing as well." REMEMBER: For
up to
the minute news on Peter I, including videos from the Island, the
best
source is the Peter I Web site. There will be news posted on the Web
site
on a daily basis. The Web site is: http://www.peterone.com7Q, MALAWI. QSL Manager Allan, G0IAS, informed OPDX
that Harry, 7Q7HB,
is back in Malawi (he set off on Saturday morning,
February 4th, for the

than 12 weeks. This

Digital modes.
He was heard this past weekend on 15 meters SSB around 21325
kHz after
1420z. As usual, the QSL route is via G0IAS DIRECT only. Allan is
good

E-mail
Allan, for scheds etc.. (he cannot guarantee anything, but Harry
will
try...)
at:
allan.g0ias@btinternet.comPLEASE NOTE: Allan states, "Also the clock is winding
down for outstanding
QSL cards for ZD6RM and 7Q7RM. I will close the logs on
the anniversary of
Rons death in September. I have ALL his hand written logs
covering more
than 50 years of operating from NYASALAND (ZD6) / MALAWI, and
the log of
GM3EAK from 1947 if there is anybody out there that still needs
one of
those cards....! This should be of special interest to the 50 MHz
Gang.
Most of the avid Dxers on that band will have worked Ron for a first
or
ONLY 7Q on 6 meters. Regards and best wishes, Allan."

*Wayne
Mills, N7NG/1, Manager Membership Services Department, sent out
the
following press
release:
CAC/DXAC Study Assignments
ARRL advisory committees to consider
contesting, DXCC changes: The ARRL
Programs and Services Committee
(PSC) has asked its Contest Advisory
Committee (CAC) to consider
whether the current method of scoring ARRL
Affiliated Club competition
is adequate or whether is should be revised
to better "reward a
combination of activity, effort and achievement."
The PSC also wants
the CAC to determine whether a return to the policy
of assessing a
three QSO per error penalty in electronic logs--as
currently assessed
for hard-copy logs--is in the best interest of the
ARRL contesting
program. Both CAC assignments followed presentations to
the PSC on
both topics by ARRL Southwestern Division Director Dick
Norton, N6AA.
The PSC also has asked the DX Advisory Committee (DXAC)
to study the
impact of amending the DXCC "political entities" rule. The
change
under consideration would revise Section II, "DXCC List Criteria,"
under "1. Political Entities," to add a Paragraph c) reading, "The
Entity
contains a permanent population, is administered by a local
government
and is located at least 800 km from its parent." The CAC
will seek public
input in completing work on its tasks, and a progress
report is due June
19. The PSC has asked the DXAC to report back by
March 15.
