425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The latest issue (May 2006) is now available at
http://www.425dxn.org/monthly/. Articles and pictures should be sent to
Nicola Baldresca, IZ3EBA (iz3eba@ari.it).
MONTENEGRO ---> After the dissolution of the Socialist Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia in 1992, Montenegro went into federation with Serbia, first as
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, then as a looser State Union of Serbia and
Montenegro. On 3 June the Parliament of Montenegro declared the independence
of Montenegro, formally confirming the result of a referendum on independence
held on 21 May. Montenegro has begun the process of seeking international
recognition as well as a seat at international organizations. As far as DXCC
is concerned, when Montenegro becomes a UN member *or* is assigned a prefix
block by the ITU, then it will be added to the DXCC list. Information on the
history of Montenegro can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montenegro
POSTAL RATES (ITALY) ---> Effective 1 June, the postal rates for a standard
letter (up to 20 grams) from Italy are EUR 0.65 for Europe (plus Algeria,
Cyprus, Egypt, Giordania, Israel, Libya, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria and
Tunisia), EUR 0.85 for other destinations in Africa & Asia and the Americas,
EUR 1.00 for destinations in Oceania. Consequently, please note that 1 USD no
longer covers the postage for direct QSLs outside Europe.
* Silvano, I2YSB (see the list of the stations he is the QSL manager for on
http://www.i2ysb.com/) says he will honour direct requests that include 1
IRC + 1 USD, or 2 IRCs or 2 USD (otherwise they will be processed through
the bureau).
* Andrea, IK1PMR (http://www.ik1pmr.com/) says he will provide on his web
site a secure PayPal-based system to allow interested DXers to send needed
extra-funds for postage. At all events, "a reasonably quick reply via the
ARI QSL Bureau is guaranteed" to those who have already sent their direct
cards without sufficient return postage.
QSL 3Y0X ---> On 6 June Bob Schenck, N2OO announced that 27,477 QSOs (the 32%
of all QSOs made by 3Y0X) have bee confirmed. He stimates that they have now
answered approximately 65% of all requests received (this includes about 95%
of all 3Y0X contributor's cards). Another QSL session will be scheduled for
11 June and another mailing should be ready for the 12th. Please give a look
to the QSL Update announcement & QSLling procedures at
http://www.peterone.com/qsl.htm, and refrain from e-mailing N2OO at this
time, as it will only slow the process down.
THAILAND ---> The long-awaited permission to operate on the WARC bands (30,
17 and 12 metres) is just around the corner, according to John (Narissara),
HS1CHB, who said that the NTC (the Thai National Telecommunications
Commission) has agreed to issue temporary permission for those radio amateurs
in Thailand who notify them of their desire to do so. This privilege includes
permission to operate on 80 and 160 metres, and the temporary permission will
be valid until the end of the year. The yet-to-be-formed National
Broadcasting Commission would need to be in place before any permanent
spectrum changes could be made. [Source: http://www.qsl.net/rast]
WRTC 2006 ---> The results of the WRTC 2006 Contest (which will take place as
a part of the IARU contest on 8-9 July) must be ready within 35 hours after
the event. The organizers therefore need as many IARU logs as possible and as
soon as possible to verify the logs of the WRTC 2006 competitors. All IARU
Logs received direct to logs@wrtc2006.com or via iaruhf@iaru.org until they
cut-off the reception of the IARU logs at the WRTC 2006 HQ some time late
Sunday/early Monday (UTC) will participate in a lottery. All IARU Logs
received within 6 hours after the contest (i.e. before 18 UTC on 9 July) will
also be entitled to receive a few prizes. Further information can be found at
http://www.wrtc2006.com/release52.html [TNX PY5EG]
