3Y0J --- > The fundraising has been extremely successful, and the team has
reached 100% funding of their 715,000 USD budget. Additional donations will
help reduce the operators' fees. Also, "only upfront supporters will receive
the benefits of being prioritized during the QSL/LoTW process".
The team will assemble in London, and on 11 January they will depart from
RAF Brize Norton with a military flight to Port Stanley (Falkland Islands),
where they will arrive on 12 January in the evening. Departure for Bouvet is
now expected on 14 January; depending on weather and sea conditions, the
voyage will take 11 to 14 days. It will be possible to follow the vessel on

CROZET 2022-23 ---> Thierry, F6CUK has been at Alfred Faure station on Ile
de la Possession, Crozet Islands since 20 January. "No traffic will start
before the weekend", he says. "I also had contact with the IPEV [the French
Polar Institute, Ed.], it should be fine and the measurement fields are
opposite the base", he adds. "The famous Absolute Measure lasts about 20
minutes so it's about 4.5 hours total, but I think there is a way to see it
in detail. Anyway I have to see the manager and the two technicians who will
take the measurements to define an action plan". The callsign will be known
after the first QSO, so bookmark http://crozet2022.r-e-f.org/news.html for
the official announcement. QSL via Club Log's OQRS, or via F6EXV (direct and
bureau); the complete log will be uploaded to LoTW a few weeks after Thierry
returns home (late May-early June).
DX MENTOR RECOGNITION PROGRAM ---> The Southwest Ohio DX Association, SWODXA
announces the DX Mentor Recognition Program "to recognize and reward amateur
radio operators who have played a key role in helping other amateur radio
operators achieve DXCC" (note that "those amateurs receiving the mentoring
must be under 30 years of age during the calendar year for the award"). The
award will be presented at the SWODXA DX Dinner, held annually in conjunc-
tion with the Dayton Hamvention. The judging committee will be staffed by
SWODXA representatives, as well as a representative from both the Northern
California DX Foundation (NCDXF) and the International DX Association
(INDEXA). See https://www.swodxa.org/DX-Mentor-Program/ for more information
and the application form.

activity on CW and SSB, this initiative's aim is to get people on the air
and contact as many different stations as possible, on as many bands as pos-
sible, in as many DXCC Entities and WAZ Zones as possible over the duration
of a full year. Participation is open to all amateurs: you do not need to
sign up for TBDXC membership, but you have to register for the marathon; see
https://www.tbdxc.net/marathon for information.
YASME EXCELLENCE AWARD ---> Established in 2008 by the Yasme Foundation
(https://www.yasme.org/), the Excellence Award is presented to individuals
and groups 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 15 December, is the CW Operators Club, widely known
as CWops (https://cwops.org/). The Award "recognizes the contributions to
amateur radio by CWops in support of training and on-the-air activities that
promote Morse/CW operation, leading to more interest in and sustained CW
activity around the world".

Per participare all’Overlay “Stazione Marconiana”
è necessario che le operazioni avvengano nei pressi
del sito Marconiano di riferimento e comunque nel
limite dei 500 metri previsto dal seguente punto h).
Per le categorie Overlay verranno stilate delle
classifiche separate. I partecipanti alle categorie
Overlay si troveranno quindi in due classifiche:
quella tradizionale e quella Overlay. Nel caso il
vincitore della categoria Overlay vincesse anche la
classifica generale nella sua categoria il premio
Overlay verrà assegnato al secondo partecipante.
Note:
a) Le stazioni Multi Operatore Multi TX possono
operare contemporaneamente sulle 2 bande consentite
dal contest, avendo cura di avere sempre un solo
segnale per banda.
b) Non è consentito il CQ alternato sulla stessa
banda (anche in modi diversi).
c) Chi (Singolo Operatore) opera in più di un
modo deve partecipare alla categoria Misto.
d) L'uso del Packet CLuster è consentito a tutti
i partecipanti con esclusione di operazioni di “Self-Spotting”,
sia dirette che, evidentemente, a cura di altre
stazioni “complici”.
e) I punti accreditati per la classifica per le
Sezioni ARI sono ottenuti dalla somma dei migliori
punteggi di tutte le stazioni di ciascuna Sezione in
ogni categoria. Per questo motivo è necessario che i
Soci indichino la Sezione di appartenenza sul log.
Non saranno conteggiati i punteggi di quelle
stazioni che non indicheranno chiaramente la sezione
di appartenenza.
f) La sezione di appartenenza andrà indicata con
il codice ASC nel campo LOCATION: Xnn, introdotto
sia nello standard CABRILLO 3.0 che nel CABRILLO
2.0. Per lo standard 2.0 occorrerà inserire il campo
LOCATION: con un editor di testo. (vedi par.11 nel
dettaglio)
g) Le stazioni Multi-Operatore Singolo TX
(categoria g) possono cambiare banda/modo in
qualunque momento, ma si ribadisce che sono VIETATE
le trasmissioni simultanee.
h) Tutte le operazioni devono aver luogo da un
solo sito operativo. I trasmettitori e i ricevitori
devono essere tutti localizzati all’interno di un
cerchio di 500 metri di diametro o nei limiti della
proprietà del titolare della stazione, quale che sia
il limite più grande. Tutte le antenne devono essere
fisicamente connesse con fili ai trasmettitori e
ricevitori usati dal partecipante. In altre parole,
è assolutamente VIETATO trasmettere da location
diverse con lo stesso nominativo.
5) Bande/Modi: è consentito l'uso delle bande dei
40m e 80m nei modi CW, SSB e RTTY nel rispetto dei
Band Plan.
6) Rapporti: le stazioni passeranno l'RS(T) + la
sigla automobilistica della provincia dalla quale
stanno operando.
7) Punti/QSO: ogni QSO/HRD avrà un punteggio
secondo il seguente schema:
-
i QSO/HRD in CW valgono 3 punti;
-
i QSO/HRD in RTTY valgono 2 punti;
-
i QSO/HRD in SSB valgono 1 punto.
Con la stessa stazione sono consentiti un massimo
di 3 QSO per ciascuna banda: uno in SSB, uno in RTTY
ed uno in CW.
8) Moltiplicatori:
sono considerati moltiplicatori tutte le provincie
italiane lavorate per banda e modo. Cioè ogni
moltiplicatore può essere contato fino a 3 volte per
banda: una per l'SSB, una per l'RTTY ed una per il
CW.
9) Punteggio: il
punteggio finale è dato dalla somma dei punti
moltiplicata per la somma dei moltiplicatori.
10) SWL: per gli
SWL valgono le stesse regole che governano la
competizione tra gli OM. Lo stesso nominativo non
può comparire come stazione corrispondente per più
di 3 volte per banda indipendentemente dal modo.
IMPORTANTE
ECCEZIONE: I LOG degli SWL dovranno essere inviati
entro 59 ore dalla fine del contest (cioè dovranno
pervenire entro le ore 23.59Z del 13 Dicembre 2022)
11) LOG:
ATTENZIONE – SOLO WEB UPLOAD PER I LOG SUL SITO
WWW.ARI.IT
a) Saranno
accettati solo LOG in formato CABRILLO.
b) E’ necessario
indicare la Sezione di appartenenza nel campo
“LOCATION:”. Il campo “LOCATION:” è un campo dello
standard Cabrillo 3.0, ma viene introdotto, per
compatibilità, anche per il formato Cabrillo 2.0,
come campo non-standard. Nel campo LOCATION: deve
essere indicato il codice ASC – codice alfanumerico
formato da una lettera e due cifre - della propria
Sezione ARI di appartenenza. Es. LOCATION: R01 (per
i soci della Sezione di Roma). La lista completa dei
codici ASC è presente sul sito ARI.
I partecipanti
Italiani, non soci ARI, devono inserire in tale
campo il valore NM (Non Membro).
Es. LOCATION: NM

Chiunque avesse
problemi ad inviare il log nei tempi prestabiliti
può contattare il Contest Manager all’indirizzo
e-mail hfcontest.ari(at)gmail.com per chiedere una
proroga.
IMPORTANTE
ECCEZIONE: I LOG degli SWL dovranno essere inviati
entro 59 ORE dalla fine del contest. I log degli SWL
dovranno quindi pervenire entro le ore 23.59Z del 13
Dicembre 2022.

f) Se non siete in grado di inviare un log in
formato CABRILLO si prega di contattare prima della
deadline per l’invio dei log il Contest Manager
all’indirizzo hfcontest.ari(at)gmail.com
g) I log saranno resi di pubblico dominio.
Pertanto, con l’invio del proprio LOG, il
partecipante acconsente, implicitamente, alla sua
pubblicazione.
12) Classifiche e premi: sarà stilata una
classifica per ciascuna delle categorie di cui al
paragrafo 4. Saranno premiati con una placca, più un
diploma, i primi classificati di ciascuna categoria.
La classifica per Sezioni ARI sarà determinata
dalla somma dei migliori risultati, per ogni
categoria, ottenuti dagli appartenenti alla Sezione
(secondo quanto indicato nel campo LOCATION del
LOG).
13) Penalità e squalifiche: tutti i log che
perverranno saranno accuratamente controllati e gli
eventuali errori riscontrati potranno causare
riduzioni di punteggio. Non saranno applicate
penalità aggiuntive per i QSO errati, ma eventuali
comportamenti antisportivi potranno essere causa di
squalifica. Tali comportamenti antisportivi potranno
essere riscontrati sia dai LOG sia da qualunque
altra fonte di dati registrati nella disponibilità
del Committee.
A maggiore chiarezza si specifica che sono
ritenuti comportamenti antisportivi (la lista non è
esaustiva ma vuole fornire solo degli esempi):
a) Autospot;
b) Più segnali contemporanei per le stazioni
Singolo Operatore;
c) Più segnali contemporanei sulla stessa banda
per le stazioni Multi-Operatore.
14) Dichiarazione implicita: con l’invio del
proprio LOG al Committee del contest 40/80 ciascun
partecipante dichiara che:
a) ha letto e compreso il regolamento del Contest
e accetta di essere ad esso vincolato;
b) ha operato secondo le leggi e i regolamenti
previsti per il Servizio di Radioamatore in Italia;
c) il proprio log possa essere reso di pubblico
dominio;
d) accetta che tutte le azioni e le decisioni del
Contest Committee siano finali ed inappellabili.

QSL GALLERY ---> "Globetrotters" is a new gallery that Jean-Michel, F6AJA
has added to the large collection of QSL cards on Les Nouvelles DX's website
(http://www.lesnouvellesdx.fr/galerieqsl.php). It "focuses on the QSLs used
by those who have travelled the world", and for the time being it contains
839 QSLs. Those who operated under an individual or group callsign from "at
least 50 Current or Deleted DXCC Entities can be included in this album. It
is absolutely certain that some globetrotters are missing, so your coopera-
tion is needed. If you are one of them and eligible for this album, or know
of one or more OMs that could be included, thank you in advance for your
help".
T33T ---> Team T33T made 97,193 QSOs (FT8 86545, FT4 7186, SSB 3457, CW 5)
with 17,211 unique callsigns on 5-25 November. The complete statistics can
be found on https://clublog.org/charts/?c=T33T#r. QSL via Club Log's OQRS.
"We will concentrate now on a humanitarian project called Hams for Banaba
Kids", they announced on 26 November(https://www.facebook.com/rebeldxgroup/)
"We will continue what Zorro JH1AJT (SK) started years ago. Information will
be sent to the public after we're back home to Europe. There's a lot of
simple things to do for those kids. It will cost us almost nothing to make
them happy".
VK9NT DXPEDITION BOOTCAMP 2023 ---> Chris, VK3QB and others will be active
