                                  NEW ONE
                         ************************

The DX  Advisory  Committee  (DXAC) of ARRL and the Awards Committee  have
both voted in favour (the first 12 votes in favour and 4 contrary, the se-
cond unanimous in favour)  to add Pratas  Island (BV9P)  in the DXCC Coun-
tries List.  Contacts are  valid starting  from 1 January 1994  (until now
Pratas has been activated in January and March 1994 and in May-June 1995).
The status of Country is based upon  the Section II,  Point 2(a)  (Separa-
tion  by  water) of the DXCC Rules. Pratas Island, located in the Southern 
Chinese  Sea, is administrated by Taiwan. The cards can be sent for credit  
starting from 1 APRIL 1996 (therefore  Pratas  will  not  change the Honor
Roll). Attention!  For the January and March 1994 operations NO cards will
be accepted with the aerial picture of the island,but only those from KU9C.

DXCC & SCARBOROUGH REEF --> The ARRL Membership Services Committee (MSC, a
standing  committee of the Board of Directors), having reviewed documenta-
tion from the DX Advisory Committee (DXAC)  and the Awards  Committee, has
voted 5 to 2 to  recommend the addition  of Scarborough  Reef to the  ARRL
DXCC Countries List. The DXAC and the Awards Committee had come to opposi-
te conclusions regarding  the eligibility of Scarborough Reef for separate
DXCC status.  Under new procedures adopted by the ARRL Board in July, 1995
when these committees do not agree the question is referred to the MSC for
review and recommendation to the full Board. The recommendation that Scar-
borough Reef  be added to the  DXCC List will  be considered  by the  ARRL
Board of Directors at its January meeting.

JA1OEM AWARD --> Mako, JA1OEM is an active DXpeditioner aged 73 that since
1988 worked from 20  different Countries.  There is now the "JA1OEM AWARD"
for those who  contacted Mako from more than 3 countries. Send the extract
from the  log with 1 IRC and  a copy of QSLs  (except from WH6/JA1OEM  and
OX/JA1OEM), to Mako Toyofuku, P.O.Box 9,  Sawara-City 287,  Japan,  before
the 20 February 1996. Calls used by Mako during his activities are: A35EM,
ZK1XP (ZK1XH) South  Cook,  ZK1XP  North  Cook, HV3SJ (HV4NAC), JT1/JA1OEM
(JT2) 5R8DP,  3D2TO,  FO0TOH, 8Q7HP,  ZK2HP, S79HP,  9N1HP, 4U1ITU, 5W1HP,
4S7/JA1OEM, JD1/JA1OEM, H44/JA1OEM, FR/JA1OEM, WH6/JA1OEM and OX/JA1OEM.

LU6Z --> The address  for QSL for this station active from   South Orkneys
[425DXN 241] is:  LU6EF,  Raul Marcelo Diaz, P.O.Box 9, 1875 Wilde, Argen-
tina.

ON6TT/TU4FE ----> Peter, ON6TT/TU4FE, has just returned in Belgium after 4
weeks  in Ivory Coast;  work did not allow  him for a lot of spare time on
the radio. Ivory Coast is one of the  most active African countries with a
local Radio Club that handles also a QSL  bureau, located  in capital Abi-
djan. So as a  result of all this activity, more TU2's (license for native
Ivoreans) than TU5's  (resident expat) or TU4's  (temporary expat)  can be
found on the air. Getting a  verbal permission  to operate is  simple, and
involves only a visit  to the licensing authority (an active ham himself).
The license itself is delivered with a  month delay, costs CFA  25,000 (a-
bout US$50)  per year. Peter donated  to the Radio Club some material that
could not be refurbished anymore (some old radio gear, recycled coax lines
old rotors) in the Red Cross operations.

PS7KM -->  Karl, PS7KM  is  the  QSL  manager  for the following Brasilian 
stations: PY0FK, PY0FA, ZY0FK, ZY0FKL, ZY0FMC,ZY0FCM, ZY0FA,ZY0FCA,ZY0FMN,
