We have Alan back with us as a relay officer now he has his antennas up again. Give Alan a welcome back to the team. _______________________________________ A bulletin about Syd VK2SG ========================== Syd is improved in health but restricted in movement, so if you have not heard him on air it is because it is a long trip to the shack for him. There is some talk of resiting the shack to make it easier, but that is just a suggestion at the moment. He is bright and chipper and sends a hello to all. Bit of a pain when the body mechanism lets one down and spoils the hobby. Anyway, Syd has had a pet project under way for some two years and it has come to fruition so he would like all to know about it. Read on ... Attention Volunteer Coastal Patrol operators ============================================ The Royal Blind Society of New South Wales, in conjunction with the Maritime Services, have produced a tape which consists of frequencies, times and weather forecasts together with ocean conditions, traffic, and many other services which have reference to shipping operations (including safety) that are normally broadcast by the Maritime Services (O.T.C.). This tape has been produced to assist the blind or dyslectic operators that are assisting with the operations of the Volunteer Coastal Patrol services throughout Australia. The tape is a C60 twin track cassette and is available from the Royal Blind Society of New South Wales for a slight cost. Please direct all enquiries to Jim Bates at the Royal Blind Society of New South Wales, phone (02) 334 3333, 4 Mitchell Street Enfield Sydney. ________________________________________ VK9LI QSL Manager? ================== Recently there was a DXpedition to Lord Howe Island using the callsign VK9LI. This took place over 30th to 31st October and was on phone on SSB, all bands. The problem is ... the last registered QSL manager for this callsign was Syd VK2SG who knows nothing of this latest use of the callsign. Syd (and Bill VK2EG) has received about thirty QSL cards and do not know where to forward them. If no new QSL manager or forwarding information is forthcoming, then the cards will be returned to sender. Does anyone know who is the QSL manager or who was operating the callsign VK9LI on those days? It will be disappointing for all those involved if all they have are their cards returned. Please send any answer to S. Molen 13 Pendle Way Pendle Hill 2145, phone (02) 631 2576. If you would rather packet it, send to VK2JPA at VK2RWI and I will be happy to forward it to Syd. ----------------------------------------- IPS weekly report ----------------- 12 November - 18 November 1993 Issue no.: 47 Date of issue: 19 November 1993 Date 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 10cm 91 94 94 102 100 100 103 A 04 06 09 10 10 04 (20 estimated) T 24 56 63 47 63 75 47 Summary of activity Solar activity was moderate 12th-13th November, very low 14th- 17th, and low on 18th.

Courtesy of IPS Radio and Space Services VK2SG RTTY DX Notes, 12 November VK2SG RTTY DXNotes for weekending 12 Nov. 1993 (BID RTDX1112) The DXAC has on its agenda an upcoming vote before the end of this year, "RTTY Honor Roll." Ballots have been mailed out by the vice chairman, Charlie Summers Jr, KY0A and are due back to him from the committee on 29 November. The justification for RTTY Honor Roll still remains. RTTY or digital radio is the fastest growing mode of ham radio. RTTY contests are becoming increasingly popular. Honor roll is a logical goal, as it is with phone and CW. Many who have reached the top on other modes are turning to RTTY for new challenges. This vote is very important to all! The time is now! Please spread the word and let your feelings be heard. Write to your DXAC rep and to DXAC Chairman W4VQ, Robert Beatty III, 11 Heritage Cove Court, Casselberry FL 32707. After all, we do have DXCC for RTTY. Why not Honor Roll? Our information this week came from 9X5LJ, DJ3IW and the DB0BCC Cluster Node, I5FLN, IK5AAX, SP5AA, WA1MPB, W2JGR and the NJ0M node Twin-Cities DX Packet Cluster Network, W5KSI, ZS5S.
