QSL Manager of the Year

     The Golist QSL Manager Data Service is reviving its "QSL Manager of the

     Year Award". The purpose of this award is to recognize the service of

     QSL Managers worldwide for the service they provide to the DX Community

     Nominations for this award for the year of 2012 will be accepted from

     DX and contest clubs until August 1.

     Each DX club and Contest club is encouraged to poll their members for

     their nominations for the "Top 5 QSL Managers for 2012". The definition

     of a QSL manager for this award is any person who confirms contacts via

     printed QSL card for any station other than their primary callsign.

     Each club should tabulate the votes of their members and submit to the

     Golist the Top 5 vote getters as voted by members of their club. Each

     club may only send one submission for voting purposes. A plaque donated

     by DX Publishing, Inc. (publisher of QRZ-DX and THE DX MAGAZINE) will

     be awarded to the selected "QSL Manager of the Year" at the W4DXCC

     Convention held in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee in September 2012.

     The recognized format for your club's submission is as follows:

     Club Name, Club Officer (Name, Call Sign, club office and e-mail),

     Top 5 QSL Manager Nominees (list name and callsign). In the subject

     line of your official e-mail put "QSL Manager of the Year-2012" and

     send it to: golist@gmail.com. See also: http://www.golist.net

 

United Nations Global Service Center

     The ARC of the UNGSC in Brindisi/Italy has got the club call 4U1GSC.

     This station does not count as a new DXCC or a new WAE country.

     However, pile-ups should be no problem with this prefix.

 

DXCC Approval

     Following DXpeditions were approved for DXCC credit: XW1A, XW0ZJZ

 

New DXCC fee model

     The ARRL has announced a new fee model which will come into effect on

     April 2. There will be no mixed applications with paper QSLs and LoTW

     anymore but there will be a new online portal to enter your QSL data.

     This list is combined with the paper QSLs and sent to the examiners.

     The fee can be paid online. These reasons have led to this step:

        - Promotion of the application number

        - Problems with mixed applications

        - Simplifying the price structure

        - Cost coverage

        - Improve customer service

     See http://www.arrl.org/news/view/arrl-announces-new-dxcc-fee-structure

 

Logs Online

     The logs of the recent DXpeditions 3C0E and 3C6A were uploaded to their

     homepage: http://www.gdgdxc.net/3c0e
