their call signs, and contact as many a s possible during the 9-day
celebration, from 31 August to 8 September. W1AW and all ARRL members are
eligible and will append /150 to their call sign during this event (this
includes DX Stations who are ARRL members, who may operate as callsign/150
if permitted by the regulations of their country of license). See

IOTA: TRANSFER OF CREDITS FROM AS-117 TO AS-206 --- > "All old AS-117
credits issued for operations from islands which now belong to AS-206 have
been transferred to AS-206.
Additionally, old AS-117 operations from islands now within AS-206 which
have logs at Club Log enabled for QSO matching, as well as old IOTA Contest
logs which fall in this category have been appropriately amended to be used
toward AS-206 credits. Please direct any questions you may have on this
topic to info[@]iota-world.org" [VE3LYC, https://iota-world.org/, 8 August
2019]
IOTA: TRANSFER OF OLD AS-025, EU-019, AND EU-133 CREDITS --- > "All old
credits issued for operations from islands which used to be at one time part
of these island groups but are now within AS-204, EU-190, and EU-117,
respectively, have been transferred. In case the respective chasers already
had credits for the latter groups, their original credits were revoked.
EU-117 and EU-133 have been re-organized after Malyy Visotsky Is. lost its
DXCC status in 2012, but the credit transfer was postponed until now.
Old operations from the above island groups which have logs at Club Log
enabled for QSO matching, as well as old IOTA Contest logs which fall into
this category have been appropriately amended to continue to be used toward

good reasons" the February 2020 KH6VV/KH4 DXpedition to Midway [425DXN 1474]
has been postponed. "Some of the things we are working on will take a number
of months - one will take 4 or 5 by itself. We could postpone for just a
couple months but then we would be operating during the summer with its
associated terrible conditions. We have decided to plan for the first two
weeks in October 2020". [TNX DX World]
QSL R63RRC ---> The logs for the IOTA DXpedition to Popigay-Ary Island,

HAPPY 150! ---> 2019 marks the 150th anniversary of the birth (2 September
1869) of Hiram Percy Maxim (W1AW), first president and cofounder of the
ARRL, and the League is again holding an operating event to celebrate his
legacy. This operating event is open to all amateurs, and the goal is
straightforward: find stations operating in the event, many adding "/150" to
their call signs, and contact as many a s possible during the 9-day
celebration, from 31 August to 8 September. W1AW and all ARRL members are
eligible and will append /150 to their call sign during this event (this
includes DX Stations who are ARRL members, who may operate as callsign/150
if permitted by the regulations of their country of license). See
http://www.arrl.org/hpm150-birthday-celebration for complete information. A
dedicated logging programme developed by Scott Davis, N3FJP can be
downloaded for free: http://www.n3fjp.com/hpmaxim.html
IOTA: TRANSFER OF CREDITS FROM AS-117 TO AS-206 --- > "All old AS-117
credits issued for operations from islands which now belong to AS-206 have
been transferred to AS-206.
Additionally, old AS-117 operations from islands now within AS-206 which
have logs at Club Log enabled for QSO matching, as well as old IOTA Contest
logs which fall in this category have been appropriately amended to be used
toward AS-206 credits. Please direct any questions you may have on this
topic to info[@]iota-world.org" [VE3LYC, https://iota-world.org/, 8 August
2019]
IOTA: TRANSFER OF OLD AS-025, EU-019, AND EU-133 CREDITS --- > "All old
credits issued for operations from islands which used to be at one time part
of these island groups but are now within AS-204, EU-190, and EU-117,
respectively, have been transferred. In case the respective chasers already
had credits for the latter groups, their original credits were revoked.
EU-117 and EU-133 have been re-organized after Malyy Visotsky Is. lost its
DXCC status in 2012, but the credit transfer was postponed until now.
Old operations from the above island groups which have logs at Club Log
enabled for QSO matching, as well as old IOTA Contest logs which fall into
this category have been appropriately amended to continue to be used toward
IOTA credits. Please direct any questions you may have on this topic to
info[@]iota-world.org" [VE3LYC, https://iota-world.org/, 14 August 2019]
MIDWAY ISLAND 2020 ---> Ron, KH6DV has announced that "for a number of very
good reasons" the February 2020 KH6VV/KH4 DXpedition to Midway [425DXN 1474]
has been postponed. "Some of the things we are working on will take a number
of months - one will take 4 or 5 by itself. We could postpone for just a
couple months but then we would be operating during the summer with its
associated terrible conditions. We have decided to plan for the first two
weeks in October 2020". [TNX DX World]
QSL R63RRC ---> The logs for the IOTA DXpedition to Popigay-Ary Island,
AS-063 (15,265 QSOs logged between 24 July and 3 August) have been posted to
Club Log and the OQRS has been enabled: https://clublog.org/logsearch/R63RRC
Those who do not use Club Log should go direct and mail their request to
EU7A (maildrop): Andrey N. Teterukov, P.O. Box 13, 212030 Mogilev-30,
Belarus.
