425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The  August 2019 issue  is now available  for down-load at http://www.425dxn.org/index.php. [TNX IZ3EBA]

IOTA AND THE MAINTENANCE OF FAIR PLAY ---> "To clarify  its position  on the
conduct of operations  put on  for the  IOTA Programme, the  IOTA Board  has
updated the text of provision E.1.2 in the IOTA Programme Rules as follows:
  IOTA Management attaches importance to the maintenance of fair play as far
  as is practicable.  From time to time a set of circumstances occurs  where
  official intervention is  considered  justified.  One  such case is  where
  there  is seen  to be  apparent  intentional unfair,  even discriminatory,
  treatment of people in the making of contacts or issue of QSL cards or QSO
  matches. An example of this is where  an expedition  to a rare  IOTA group
  follows  a clear practice  of  discriminating  against contacts  with non-
  participants in the IOTA Programme or,  post-event, of deleting them  from
  the log. In this regard the cardinal principle to be followed must be that
  it is immaterial whether  the contact is  a  known participant  or  not in
  IOTA.  Failure  to  observe  fair play in cases  like  this is  sufficient
  justification for rejection of the operation for IOTA credit on grounds of
  it bringing the IOTA Programme into disrepute.  All participants are asked
  to have regard for our long established tradition of acting in  accordance
  with the best of ham spirit".  [G3KMA, https://iota-world.org/, 11 Septem-
  ber 2019]

MOUNT ATHOS ---> On 14 August DX World published information from  Theodore,
SV1GRM about Monk Iakovos, SV2RSG, Holy Monastery of Koutloumousiou of Mount

SV1CQN, on https://dx-world.net/response-to-sv2rsg-mt-athos/.

SAC ---> The 61st Scandinavian  Activity  Contest  will  be  held  on  21-22
September (CW) and 12-13 October (SSB), from 12 UTC on Saturday to 11:59 UTC
on Sunday.  Scandinavian stations  (Aland Islands,  Denmark,  Faroe Islands,
Finland, Greenland,  Iceland, Jan Mayen,  Market Reef, Norway,  Svalbard and
Bear Island, Sweden) will try to work as  many non-Scandinavian  stations as
possible and vice versa. Complete information of the SAC events can be found
at https://www.sactest.net/.

Z81C ---> James, Z81C (formerly P29HG and VK4GKA)  is  a  new operator  from
Juba, South Sudan.  "He will be working for  an  NGO in the capital  for  at
least a year and a half", The Daily DX reports. When he sets up his station,
he will operate SSB. QSL arrangements to be decided.

+ SILENT KEY + Larry E. Price, W4RA died  on  10 September.  He was 85.  Dr.
Price served as ARRL President (1984-1992), serving simultaneously as Secre-
tary of the International Amateur Radio Union (1989-1992)  and continuing as
IARU Secretary and ARRL International Affairs Vice President until his elec-
tion as IARU President in 1999.  He served as  IARU President  for two five-
year terms,  retiring and being named  IARU President Emeritus  by the  IARU
Administrative Council  in  2009.  The ARRL Board named  him  ARRL President
Emeritus in 2011. "Larry Price was the Dean of the IARU", IARU President Tim
Ellam, VE6SH recalls,  "and under his leadership  the organization  not only
achieved great success for the Amateur Radio Services, but also the  respect
of those  we work  with  in the ITU.  His work and tenacity  on a number  of
issues gave the  IARU  the admiration  of  many administrations  and  senior
leadership at the ITU, which we continue to enjoy today".
