> ADDED NOTE: Stu, WA2MOE, announced this week, "A petition was filed with
> the Chief Executive Officer of ARRL today seeking removal of UNTAET
(United
> Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor) from the DXCC entities
> list  and for the addition of Timor Leste as an entity." The petition
> states that DXCC rule under "Section II. DXCC List Criteria -- Criteria:
>     (b): The entity has been assigned a call sign prefix bloc by the ITU.
>          A provisional prefix bloc assignment may be made by the Secretary
>          General of ITU. Should such provisional assignments not be
ratified
>          later by the full ITU, the Entity will be removed from the DXCC
>          List."
> and should be applied. Stu states, "The assignment was not ratified and
> UNTAET returned it to ITU which has reissued the block 4WA-4WZ to Timor
> Leste. It is the position of JA1BK and WA2MOE that the addition of 4W to
> the DXCC entities list was premature and that a mistake was made."

> "Ogawawara Islands are located approximately 1000km south of Tokyo, and it
> is distinguished from the mainland on the DXCC program as JD1. The Village
> of Ogasawara organized the commemorative amateur radio station to
celebrate
> the 35th Anniversary of the reversion from June 10th through August 31st
> this year. This radio station is the club station and is employed
including

> For this purpose, we trained the people of the village for purposes of

> and SSB, CW, RTTY, SSTV, Satellite(AO-10, UO-14)  etc up to 200W output

> N4BQW/KH9, will be remaining on the island for about 4 to 5 more weeks.
> Both operators were working 20 meters between 0600z and 1100z this past
> week giving the beam and amplifier a nice workout. Chuck, N4BQW, took time
> out to work Glenn/K2FF and Frank/W6FRH on 30 meters last weekend with
> solid signals reported both ways on the wire antenna. An additional
antenna
> for 40/80/160 meters was installed this past week and Jake was working 40
> meters, so Wake Island should now be active on multiple bands. Just as a
> reminder, Chuck will operate whenever he has spare time outside of his
> work requirements. And remember, QSLs for N6XIV/KH9 go via K2FF, while
> QSLs for N4BQW/KH9 go via KB6NAN.

> LIGHTHOUSE ACTIVITY...............
>     Wade, AA8LL, plans to activate the Beaver Island, Michigan, Lighthouse

> OD, LEBANON. Pavel, OD5/OK1MU, in Beirut informs/reminds OPDX and its

cards

July,
