REALTIME BAND CONDITIONS WEB SITE http://www.bandconditions.com:
The purpose of this experimental Web site is to provide 24-7-365 actual
(REALTIME) band condition information to CW QRPp, QRPe and CW/SSB for
Contesters interested in increasing their scores. It can also be of
benefit to other Radio Amateurs to determine band conditions for Nets
and casual QSO's. This information is NOT based on any software pre-
dictions or any kind of satellite based readings. It is based on a
new Ionospheric sounding method called "HF Ionospheric Interferometry"
which operates very similarly to the PolSAR system used by NASA.

VP8SGI/VP8STI DXPEDITION NEWS (Press Release from the Intrepid-DX Group
VP8STI/VP8SGI Team). Paul, N6PSE, sent out the following on December 21st
[edited]: In just two short weeks, members of the VP8STI/VP8SGI team will
be meeting the Braveheart in Stanley, the Falkland Islands. All of our
plans are going very well. We have raised 73% of the funds needed to
complete our Dxpedition. We are very grateful for all Foundation, Club
and Individual support.
We have updated our QSL page and OQRS will be live as soon as we complete
each activation. We will make every effort to upload our logs to Clublog
each day. We expect to have challenges in doing so as at 59 degrees South,
Southern Thule Island is outside of the Inmarsat BGAN coverage footprint.
The team is very focused and committed to satisfying the need for contacts
with South Sandwich and South Georgia. We ask that everyone follow the DX
Code of Conduct. We will not work stations that are calling out of turn.
We will be in communications with our Chief Pilot each day and we ask you
to work with our team of Regional Pilot stations to help us meet the demand
for contacts.
We are very excited to be activating the #3 and #8 most wanted DXCC
entities on a combined trip. Adding South Georgia on to our itinerary cost
us an extra $120,000. If you have not already donated, won’t you please
consider a donation? For our US donors, your end of year donations are tax
deductible to the Intrepid-DX Group as we are a 501.C.3.
You can view all details of our Dxpedition at:
http://www.intrepid-dx.com/vp8
Please watch for updates and announcements in The Daily DX, DX-World,
DX Coffee and DX News. [ed. as well as the OPDX]
Thank you, and Merry Christmas!

THE YASME FOUNDATION (Two Press Releases)[edited].......
1#) THE YASME FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT OF DIRECTOR CHARLES “MAC”
McHENRY, JR., W6BSY (dated December 21st, St. Charles, MO) -- The
Board of Directors of the Yasme Foundation recognizes Director
Charles “Mac” McHenry, Jr., W6BSY, as he retires from the organi-
zation after many years of service. Mac’s association with Yasme
spans decades, during which DXing, operating and amateur radio have
witnessed many changes. We are honored to have had the benefit of
his leadership and wisdom.

Mac’s association with Yasme dates back to the time when Lloyd and
Iris Colvin were on their around-the-world DXpedition, visiting 221
DXCC countries and operating in about two-thirds of them. Yasme
volunteers answered over 750,000 QSL requests. If you are lucky
enough to have a handwritten Yasme QSL card, chances are very good
that Mac was the one who filled out the card, stuffed it in an
envelope and sent it off to you.

On behalf of Yasme and of the many amateurs Yasme has assisted or
recognized over the years of your directorship, the Board of Directors
conveys upon Mac the title of Director Emeritus, a first for our
organization. We wish him smooth sailing in the future — thank you,
Mac!

2#) THE YASME FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES SUPPORTING GRANTS (dated December 21st,
St. Charles, MO) -- The Board of Directors of the Yasme Foundation is
pleased to announce a number of supporting grants in furtherance of
its goal of supporting the development of amateur radio.

Our grants fall into several areas as shown below. The Yasme Foun-
dation encourages amateurs to support activities that promote amateur

* A grant to the ARRL Teacher's Institute to fund one teacher's

Scientific and Technical Programs
* A grant to the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
(ARISS) program in support of its effort to place higher power
amateur radio equipment on the Columbia Module and standardize the
equipment configuration

* A grant to the Northern California DX Foundation Beacon Project to
update the beacon station in Sri Lanka

* A grant to the Reverse Beacon Network to build and install a node
that will provide coverage in an area identified as both underserved
and of particular interest to propagation studies

HF Operating Around the World
* A grant to a representative of the Haiti Amateur Radio Club for the
purchase of amateur radio training materials to be used for training
sessions of future licensees in Haiti and the donation of a Kenwood
TS-440S transceiver for use by the new licensees

* A grant to the International Amateur Radio Club at ITU-Geneva (4U1ITU)
for station maintenance and the acquisition of needed equipment

* A grant to WRTC-2018 in support of ongoing expenses and to encourage
organizations and individuals to support this important event

* A grant to the Ethiopian Amateur Radio Society club station ET3AA
to acquire a new computer, interfaces and programs to be used for
logging and operating digital modes and to purchase new headsets

Organizations Supporting Amateur Radio
* A grant to the World Wide Radio Operators Foundation (WWROF) in
support of their ongoing activities

* A grant to Dokufunk, the Research and Documentation Center for the
History of Radio Communications and the Electronic Media in Vienna,
Austria, in support of its activities to preserve the history of
radio communications

We wish all radio amateurs around the world a prosperous and happy new
year on the airwaves!

The Yasme Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation organized to
support scientific and educational projects related to amateur radio,
including DXing (long distance communication) and the introduction
and promotion of amateur radio in developing countries. For additional
information about The Yasme Foundation, visit our website at
www.yasme.org.

Z2, ZIMBABWE. Herbert, DE1ZHB/7Z1HB, is once again active as Z21LS from
Harare until January 7th. Activity will be on 40-10 meters using SSB,
RTTY and PSK. QSL via DE1ZHB.

ZL9, NEW ZEALAND SUBANTARCTIC ISLANDS (Update/Rare IOTA). From the ZL9A
Web page [edited]: Team Antipodes is scheduled to set sail less than two
weeks from now. Cezar is already in New Zealand, and confirms that two
full sets of equipment (rigs and antennas) are already with the Department
of Conservation office in Invercargill, where the quarantine is scheduled
for January 3. All team members will meet in Invercargill on January 2,
and in preparation for the quarantine need to treat all clothing and
footwear in a trigene solution, a powerful antibacterial. We of us are
a little apprehensive that the trigene will affect long term at least
some of the materials and metal bits, but there is no way around it. Most
of all, we are concerned of all electronic components, including photo/video
cameras and laptops, as they will have to be wiped with a cloth soaked in
trigene solution too…
If everything goes according to plan and weather cooperates, the team
will board Evohe by noon local time on January 4, and attempt landing by
mid-afternoon on January 7. It will likely take a few hours before they
will be QRV, since landing will require some serious hiking back and forth
between the shore and camp. One of their stations will be located inside
the Castaway Depot, while the other a few tens of meters away, in a small
tent. While the landing and operating permit is very strict in terms of
where the radio equipment should be located, the tent allows for some
mobility to reduce interference between stations. To reduce it even further,
the team will have at their disposal a full set of Dunestar filters.
The list of group and individual donors continues to be updated on a
daily basis, and we wish to express our gratitude to everyone who is able
to contribute financially to reduce our personal costs. The original
budget had to be increased by almost 7%, due to unforeseen costs, to
which we had to add another 8% due to the strengthening of the NZD versus
the USD during the last few months. Please keep support coming, we do
need it dearly!
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a wonderful,
Happy and Prosperous New Year 2016!
ADDED NOTE: This operation will count under the new DXCC entity name
"New Zealand Subantarctic Islands" (the old name - Auckland and Campbell
Islands [ZL9]) for DXCC purposes. A Web page has been activated to provide
more details and help collect funds for this operation at:
