Current members are Martin Atherton, G3ZAY (Chairman), Roger Balister, G3KMA (IOTA Manager, ex officio member), Neville Cheadle, G3NUG (Committee Member), Dewitt Jones, W4BAA (Committee Member, North America), Mauro Pregliasco, I1JQJ (Committee Member, Europe), Eva Telenius-Lowe, 2E1FHJ (RSGB HQ IOTA Co-ordinator). >>> VALIDATION PROCEDURE <<< During the last two years the IOTA Committeed has discussed with the international IOTA community a proposal to introduce a validation procedure for island operations which take place from unnumbered, rare or difficult IOTA groups. In 1995-96 the IOTA Committee has also carried out a pilot exercise to check the actual practicality of the proposal. The RSGB IOTA Committee has now decided to implement the proposal on a permanent basis. The validation procedure requires that island operators from unnumbered IOTA groups should provide satisfactory evidence in support of their activities. An operator should therefore provide evidence that he/she was physically on the island, holds a licence and, where requested, a specific landind and/or operating permit. Until evidence is provided, an operation falls into a "provisionally accepted" category. If evidence is not provided within four months of the completion of the operation, the activity may be downgraded to a "long term pending" category. Checkpoints cannot accept for credit QSL cards submitted for operations falling into the two categories. The same procedure also applies to operations that take place from numbered "rare" and "difficult" islands/groups (ie. those islands/groups that respectively are needed by at least 90% of the current IOTA members and are known to have restrictions on landing or operationg amateur radio). For further details on the validation procedure please refert to the RSGB IOTA Directory and Yearbook, available from RSGB IOTA Programme, P.O.Box 9, Potters Bar, Herts EN6 3RH, England (@ GBP 9.95 or $15 postpaid, credit cards accepted). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> IOTA REFERENCE NUMBERS ISSUED IN SEPTEMBER <<< AF-076 5N4 GULF OF GUINEA group (NIGERIAN islands, letter "b"), issued (provisionally and subject to further validation of the operation) following 5N4ALE's activity from Bonny Island. NOTE ---> With reference to 5N4ALE's activity from Bonny Island, the IOTA Committee reported that "doubts have been raised as to whether the 5N4ALE operation was land-based. The IOTA Committee will wish to resolve this matter satisfactorily before confirming the provisional number issued. Also there appear to be problems with the QSL cards. Some amateurs have sent cards to the old manager DJ2VZ. Information from Germany indicates that DJ2VZ is QSLing but does not have any logs. Such cards would not be accepted for IOTA. A decision on cards received direct or from DJ0KN will be made later".

From: ann@ifn.ing.tu-bs.de Subject: YK0B non-activity report by DL1SEB Hello to all who looked for YK0B in vain, today there is a report by Elia, DL1SEB, organizer and participant of the trip to YK in our packet network, which is written in German. I don't want to give a full translation of the whole text, which is full of accusations and offences against Omar, YK1AO. The group of 25 German OMs and YLs could not become QRV when they were in Syria. Elia says that Omar was to be given ham equipment worth 7000$ as a gift but he asked for a satellite station in addition. This request was rejected by the group, leading to threats by Omar to disturb the planned activities. He finally succeeded in not letting the group become QRV. Omar had been in Friedrichshafen (Ham Radio fair) in June this year and, according to Elia, he had been given free flight tickets, free accomodation and food for one week. DL1SEB expresses his deep anger about the ingratitude of Omar, YK1AO. Elia says that they will continue their efforts to activate arabian countries but they will try it the official ways rather than rely on false friends. That's a summary of the report by Elia, DL1SEB on the YK0B non-activity. 73!

Well, I have no complaints about Omar (YK1AO). I have worked him on various bands and he has always sent me a prompt QSL. I think this German group are too often complaining about other operators in DX locations. First it was complaints about the YU guys in 3V8 "not operating in acordance with the licence". Now this complaint about YK1AO. Hmmm! Sometimes I wonder if they are just jealous because they didn't get all the glory! 73 de G3NYY -- Walt Davidson E-mail: walt@dial.pipex.com walt@enterprise.net

This Seal Island, located in Mossel Bay near Cape St Blaize, is different from the island of the same name in the Penguin Is, off the Namibian Coast, from which several operations have taken place in the past. QSL cards will be accepted once the Committee has received documentation validating the operation and has confirmed the issue of the reference number. Details of the new validation requirements, as well as all the latest information on the IOTA Programme, are contained in the 100 page 1997 RSGB Directory and Yearbook, just published.

From: G4DYO@aol.com Subject: Re: 10 Mhz SSB in Europe ??? It is perfectly legitimate to use CW, SSB, RTTY, Data, FAX and SSTV on 10 Mhz in the United Kingdom under the terms of the UK Amateur Licence. The only reason why SSB is not heard is because of the IARU Band Plan (which, of course, has no legal standing and is simply a "gentleman's agreement"). I cannot speak for the situation in other countries, although I suspect that the situation is similar. The band is allocated to amateurs on a "secondary" basis but there often seems to be far more empty space than on 40m, where all modes seem to cohabit peacefully. 73 de Bren, G4DYO

For yet another year in a row, Radio amateur association of West Greece <<RAAWG>> will take part at the CQ WW SSB Contest this month using the known callsign S V 1 A F A . This year, we are fortunate enough to operate from Vlochos mountain at an altitude of about 1000 meters! Our actual QTH will be inside the local monastery along with the corporation of the local authorities. This place is also famous in Greece because of its archeological value. Near the monastery are the ruins of Thestieon acropolis which was constructed by king Laertes of Ithaka, father of the famous Odysseus from the Greek ancient mythology. Our contest category will be Multi operators with a single transmiter. We hope to be in as many logs as possible, with the help of propagation, since we QRV in Low Power only and with loop plus vertical, longwhire antennas. So, we shall meet at 160 to 10 meters.

DX contesters will make the bands highly active and it will appear that bands and paths normally thought to be closed, open up and surprise you. On the first evening propagation will be slow as we should be recovering from an active GEOMAG period. So, work those Asia and Oceania areas the first evening. While on the 27th (Sat/Sunday), the bands are expected to be better. Last year at this time Solar Flux was in the mid-to-high 80'. This year the mid 60's to low 70's will be the norm. Note, band will close earlier and open later than last year. CU on the bands. Remember: Have fun.....KH6Bloomin'ZipperFlipper 3C1, EQUATORIAL GUINEA.

This will be the 4th demonstration/operation in the series linked to Visit Myanmar Year 1996. It had been hoped to operate from Mandalay or Pagan on this occasion but this was not possible, and the alternative of an operation in Yangon was accepted. Call signs to be used, are XY1HT, XY1VMY, and XY1U. The group consists of mainly European, and Japanese operators. Additional operators are welcome to contact 9M2/G3NOM. On the first weekend , an entry will be made in the CQWW SSB contest. Also, a parallel operation will be made on Satellite during the contest weekend. If conditions allow a choice, a focus will be made on modes, bands, and areas, not being targetted by the upcoming XZ1N Burma Blockbuster DXpediton, (although that leaves little scope HI). Both expeditions are being held under the auspices of the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism and therefore are designed to complement each other. Watch out initially on the usual DX frequencies. QSL arrangements will be announced during the operation, but as a default can be sent to G0CMM QSL manager for G3NOM DX Peditions. 73 de Ray

This year the Special Event Station OS4CLM (witch suffix stands for Canadian Liberation March) will be for the 14th time on the ear from friday octobre, 25th until novembre, 5th 1996. Beside our own ham-operators the Special Event Radio Station is operated by members of the BAFARA (Belgian Airforce Amateur Radio Ass.), by members of the RNARS (Royal Naval Amateur Society) and by members of the BYLC (Belgian YL Club). This year members of the Belgian IPARC section will attend for the first time on tuesday 29 october. Again a multi-colored OS4CLM-Award will be available to all licensed amateurs and SWL's for any contact with this special event station. They also can get a beautifull QSL-card. Cost of the OS4CLM-Award is 5 US$ (no checks please) or 10 IRC's, with all proceeds going to a welfare fund. The money is used to maintain memorials and to keep the station OS4CLM next year in the air.

JA1UT and a group of operators are scheduled to visit "Republique Islamique de Mauritanie" for a week beginning November 6th. This is in support of the "Save Africa" aid project in cooperation with the drivers of the famous "Paris-Dakar Motor Rally". SSTV operation is planned in addition to the usual modes.

The DX News Sheet (DXNS) reports Shin, JA2SWJ, will be active November 2-3th as 9M8HIM on 1824 kHz with 500W. C5, THE GAMBIA. A few weeks ago, OPDX mentioned that Gary, C53HG had left the The Gambia for Namibia. Paul, VE3JLP, (DX Editor, The Canadian Amateur) wrote to OPDX and that states we may begin to see a lack of activity from C5 now. Paul reports, "My daughter, who taught at the Gambia College of Agriculture at Brikama 18 months ago, tells me that the science teacher there, who occasionally put the college station, C53GCA, on the air has now moved on to a new job and this station is likely, from now on, to be gathering dust! By the way, the college station is the one I briefly put on the air in Februaury, 1995, it was installed by a group of VE1s a year or two before. I don't THINK there are any other resident staions in C5, so it may soon become a pretty rare DX." OPDX has found that C53HN still continues to be active briefly and mainly on CW. Last spot listed on the Ohio/Penn Network was October 21st at 1842z on 14020 kHz. FH, MAYOTTE. Denise, F6HWU, will be active as FH/F6HWU from November 9-27th.

The organiser is Ray G3NOM on behalf of the JA1UT group. JA1UT himself is preparing another team for the 5T5 Mauritania DX Pedition linked to the Paris-Dakar Internation Motor Rally. ( To run from 6 - 16th Nov 96). The call-sign XY1U was used in the CQ WW SSB contest, and for Satellite and RTTY contacts. The callsign XY1U is being used by the Japanese operators JA1CDG (Ken), JA8RUZ(Toshi), and JP1TRJ(Hiro). QSLs for QSOs under this call-sign should go to JA8RUZ CBA. XY1HT is being used by the European operators G3NOM and LA7JO. This time the QSLs should go to LA7JO CBA. The operation is taking place from a government building in the city centre, and unfortunately a high noise level is again being experienced. Last night Stig LA7JO ran out a short Beveridge antenna on the roof top, and this resulted in much better reception on 80m. We are using separate transmit and receive antennas due to the high noise level. We are working on this noise problem with a view to improving things for the upcoming weekend. A reminder that the upcoming DXPedition XZ1N, 16th November onwards, will have specialists to deal with the LF bands, including 160m. So although we will try our best, please bear in mind that there should be large safety net waiting. The antennas in use are a Create 3/4 element tribander for 28/21/14, A Butternut HF6V, an 80m inverted vee, and loops for WARC bands. Rigs are FT890, IC735, IC706, TL922, FLl200, AL84. 73 de Ray
