Dindo DV1UD apologises for the short notice but advises me he will be qrv from Batan Island IOTA OC-093 (Batan Islands Group) between the 3rd and 6th June 2015. Plane tickets have already been bought for the trip.
As always Dindo is on work assignment but this time he says the balance will be in favour of radio rather than work.
NASA announced today that its second Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD) test will launch next Tuesday, 2nd June, from the the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Missile Range Facility in Hawaii.
The LDSD mission is part of the agency’s preparation for sending humankind to Mars. Mission commanders aim to test new technology designed to land a spacecraft with a large payload on the surface of the Red Planet.
NASA is investigating the use of atmospheric drag as a method to safely land the large spacecraft on Mars; the spacecraft will only need to access its limited supply of fuel during final landing procedures. According to NASA, three different supersonic vehicles are under development.
The Qsl card for the DX Interceptor’s is now complete and being printed.
MT0IXD was the Callsign used on their recent trip to the Isle Of Man IOTA EU-116.
Qsl Cards will be available soon for MT0IXD EU-116 or their Club Station Call of MS0IXD. OQRS is already open and you can request your card by clicking here.
You can also view their website by clicking the image above.

QSL Card received today from Imam YB4IR for his operation from Wamar Island IOTA OC-249 back in April.
Fast service via OQRS, thanks Imam.
Despite what many people say, SWL (Short Wave Listening) is as popular as ever.
Many people think that there aren’t that many SWL’s active in hobby nowadays and that it is a dying pastime but they couldn’t be further from the truth. I receive several requests every week for confirmations of contacts from Short Wave listeners and it is a pleasure to confirm their reception reports.
One thing I would ask though is that SWL’s please add their contact details to the Callsign Databases such as QRZCQ.com. Quite often I have the need to contact them for a query with the card they request or the Qso they have heard and it is very frustrating not to have an email address, Skype or other way of contacting them other than the traditional Post Mail.
My plea is that SWL’s add their details to our databases to make this easier. It is possible to add your SWL Call just as easy as any Ham Call. Take a look at the example set by Patrick F59706 and add your SWL Call today!

We wish Emil the greatest of success and a safe trip both on and off the island and a big thanks for choosing the all new Ultra-lightweight D-Hexpedition Hexbeam.
More info can be found on Emils site:http://www.dl8jj.darc.de/
Just back home from a small vacation and was pleased to see that the H42NT, H44NT and VK7FG Qsl Cards were sat waiting from the Printer Gennady UX5UO (Thanks G !.).
Qsl Cards are being processed and will be mailed Friday 23rd/Saturday 24th May. Sorry for the slight delay with these cards, I hope you will find the delay worth it 😉
