CORRECTION TO OPDX.1243 (OOOPPPSSS!!)

IRON HAM WW CONTEST (By the ARAUCARIA DX GROUP [ADXG])
Oms, PY5EG, reports: "Due the high congestion of contests during all the year long, we didn't find a date for our Iron Ham Contest. We are studying the possibility to co-organize a three mode contest with some other entity around the world and then establish a convenient date for it. So this year we are not going to have our Iron Ham Contest. I express our best thanks for the support us in our previous edition."

K5P PALMYRA DXPEDITION NEWS (Press Release #5, dated December 7th) Palmyra 2016 Update!
In about a month, the Palmyra Team will be as- sembling in Hawaii on the first leg of their journey to Palmyra and our excitement is growing!

Palmyra ranks in the top ten of the Most Wanted List and #2 in Europe! As with major DXpeditions, there has been a change of plans due to unforeseen events. Based on the original award received in January 2015, a Team of 12 operators was assembled.

The air charter is provided by our host, The Nature Conservancy, as part of the award. Earlier this year, the air strip was decertified and as a result the aircraft type had to be changed to allow access to the Palmyra. The aircraft selected will only seat 9 persons, which is a major change of plans for the DXpedition.

Several alternate options were examined but were unsuccessful. It was with great pain that three of the operators stepped back from the Team to allow the DXpedition to proceed.

All equipment has been received, being pretested and packaged for ship- ment to Hawaii. The Team plans on leaving Hawaii for Palmyra on 11th January 2016 and being active from 12th January through 25th January.

Future Palmyra Atoll activations may not happen for many years, as access is severely restricted. Permissions to operate on these rare and extremely controlled locations are very difficult to obtain. We wish to thank The Nature Conservancy and the US Fish and Wildlife Service for their cooperation and support. Without this, K5P Palmyra2016 would not occur.

Steve Chamberlain, VK6IR, Propagation Co-ordinator and QSL Manager

He adds, "For this reason I obtained the special callsign YJ4AO which is a reminiscence to my very first callsign Y24AO. My wife and I always dreamed of visiting the South Pacific only once in our lifetime, and we are very happy to be able to do this trip now, so I ask everybody to understand that I spend some time with my wife with usual holiday activities like snorkeling, etc.... instead of conducting a 100% DXpedition."

VY0, CANADA (Nunavut Territory On HF). [Update] 2016 Worked All NCDXA “RST” Stations
A Special Event Covering All of Northern North America!

Members of the North Country DX Association (NCDXA) will be active in February and March 2016 from several different locations in Alaska, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut Territory using KL7RST, VY1RST, VE8RST and VY0RST to further promote Amateur Radio up north. This is a first for the north- a joint-venture KL7, VY1, VE8 and VY0 special event! All modes 6-160 meters and WARC bands are permissible. SWLs are welcome to partici- pate. The object is to work or log (SWL) as many NCDXA “RST” stations as you can from their different locations. Work/log each “RST” station only once per their QTH/band and mode. For a wildcard, Portable “RST” Stations will also participate and are worth 3 points each/mode and band but must be the “RST” stations mentioned above! The portable stations must be out- side their own prefix to count (ie-KL7RST/KL7 does not count but KL7RST/VY1, VY1RST/KL7, VY0RST/VE8 etc. do). Watch the DX spots as they plan to have stations on from Whitehorse, Yellowknife, Anchorage, Fairbanks, and many other cities (maybe an Alaskan glacier or two!). QSL Manager is K7ICE. KL7YK is LoTW administrator for Alaska, VY1MB for Yukon and VY0CF for Nunavut. Optional full color certificates are also available (email - for details) for working/hearing any of the “RST” stations. (QSLs printed by KB3IFH)

SPECIAL EVENT DATE: February 15th (0001z) through March 27th (2359z), 2016

EXCHANGE: NCDXA “RST” stations send signal report and QTH (ie. - 5x7 Anchorage, 5x9 Whitehorse etc.). Receiving stations send signal report and state, province or country.

CERTIFICATE LEVELS: Beautiful full color certificates are available for working/logging:
(1) One or two NCDXA “RST” station (s),
(2) any KL7RST, VY1RST, VY0RST or VE8RST, but must work one of each
(3) for those more competitive (keep in mind the scoring is for certificate levels and this is not a contest), a highest score category. Certificates are different scenery shots from up there for each level.

Scoring example: K7QRM works KL7RST in Anchorage on 10m SSB, 10m CW, 15m SSB and 40m CW for his Anchorage total of 4 points. K7QRM works KL7RST at Matanuska Glacier on 10m SSB and 12m SSB for his Matanuska Glacier total of 2 points. K7QRM also works VY1RST in Whitehorse on 10 SSB, 15m digital, 40m CW and 30m CW for 4 points. K7QRM also works VE8RST in Yellowknife on 10m SSB and 20m SSB for a total of 2 points. K7QRM also works VE8RST in Hay River on 10m SSB for 1 point total. K7QRM’s grand total points are the city QSO sum of 13 points (plus any wildcard points). Handwritten or PC generated certificate applications are acceptable. First, 2nd, 3rd etc. places will be awarded. Certificate deadline is May 15, 2016.

As a bonus, pending snow depth and weather, they may also have KL7RST and VY1RST on together from the border of Alaska and the Yukon on the Alaska Highway. That has got to be another first for the north! A special QSL and certificate will be available for the border op. Thanks in advance for your DX spots!
