From January 1 to 10, 2016, the CW Operators’ Club will celebrate its 6th anniversary. The club has the main purpose of the promotion of the use of telegraphy and it is the only one that counts, among many other projects, with a CW Academy and a HF “On The Air” AdvisorsProg ram, both, having much international success.

For that reason, several EA CWops members will be qrv using the Callsign EG1CWO to commemorate the anniversary. More info can be found at: http//eacwops.es

Thanks for the beautiful 6-sided card!

Between the 15th & 22nd November, PY0R/PY7RP & PU0R/PU0FDN will be qrv from Atol das Rocas – IOTA SA-038.

The Rocas Atoll is the only atoll in the South Atlantic Ocean, belonging to the Brazilian State of Rio Grande do Norte.

It is located approximately 260 km northeast of Natal and 145 km west of the Fernando de Noronha archipelago.

This is a very rare IOTA, last being activated around 1992.

Ripon & District ARC posted this information on their website yesterday;

”If you were at the convention, you might have seen me making video and audio recordings.  All together I did 3 video recordings with a separate audio track and another 3 audio recordings, ie 6 in all.  The first was of Michael’s Clublog talk.  There are other talks coming along and I will advise when they are ready, including Peter’s fascinating talk on receivers. I am particularly pleased to do this for the folks who must of necessity miss 80% of the talks and I am hoping we will get some more volunteers for next year so that all talks will be available”
