QSL E30FB "During the DXpedition the team experienced computer and network issues that could not be resolved on site", M0URX reported on 11 April. "A few days ago the laptops arrived back in Japan and the team have managed to get the raw logs to me for inspection. Around 1,000 QSOs that were missing have been recovered so far. These QSOs have been added to the log. QSL requests for both direct and bureau have been matched to the new QSOs found". Tim is working to recover more QSOs. Check Club Log to see if your QSOs are there. The OQRS for direct and bureau cards is open: http://www.m0urx.com/eritrea_oqrs/. QSL ZL7AAA VE7NY is no longer dealing with QSLs for ZL7AAA (Chatham Islands, March 2014).

See www.qrz.com/db/ly5w for a list of other callsigns he manages. [TNX LY5W] RESPONSIBLE QSLLING "The latest incoming box from the RSGB Bureau arrived 3 weeks ago", Tim, M0URX says, and "out of 3,600 bureau cards received 75% of them should NOT have been sent. Yes, 2,700 cards that you have sent me should NOT have been sent. It is quite clear that many people are confused by OQRS, Bureau and Direct QSLing, which leads to a huge problem of Bureau Usage Abuse. Let me see if I can make it clear for you so that we can reduce this abuse and reduce costs within the bureau system, and also reduce the wasted time that is spent on sorting bureau cards and processing them". Read Tim's complete post on his website: http://www.m0urx.com/3-m0urx/596-bureau-abuse-responsible-qsling.html. VK0EK The Northern California DX Foundation has announced a grant of $50,000 to VK0EK, the Heard Island DXpedition [425DXN 1237] planned for November 2015 (http://vk0ek.org/): "the grant is contingent on completing the contract with the vessel, but this is considered a relatively straightforward process, probably complete by mid-april", the organizers say. "With that, the expedition has obtained its major components (team, transportation, finances), so preparations of facilities, equipment, and logistics will move forward". VP8SGI & VP8STI VP8STI and VP8SGI are the callsigns issued for the Intrepid- DX Group to use during their DXpedition to South Thule Island (South Sandwich) and South Georgia Island [425DXN 1241].

The DXpedition will take place in January- February 2016. The team will be on each island for ten days, with eight full days of radio. "Our plans are moving forward in all aspects including our team's first $54,000 installment to the RV Braveheart being paid on April 1, 2015", they say. "To date, we have raised $90,000 towards our goal of raising $215,000. This puts us 40% of our target. We would welcome additional support from the many DX Clubs around the globe, particularly those in Europe and Asia who have not yet supported our efforts". The team has also annouced their "Early Donor program for donations prior to departure to the islands. For all donations of $25 or more, we will perform an early LoTW upload and we will include all $25 donors in the first batch of QSL processing".see http://www.intrepid-dx.com/vp8 for complete details.
