D44TWO QSO’s have now been uploaded to LOTW.
This is NOT a full upload. Uploaded are all that I have in the logbook plus the Digital Qso’s that Harald has made currently whilst in Cape Verde. SSB and CW QSO’s for his current trip have not been uploaded as these are held in paper logbooks and I have not yet had receipt of those. They will take time to transfer from paper to PC Log when I receive them so please be patient, it will not be a fast process.
Normal QSL Cards can still be obtained via M0OXO OQRS or Direct Post Mail.
”The appeal (IOTA News 20 June 2016) has progressed well, reaching GBP £7,000, an amount that takes us a quarter of the way towards our initial target of GBP £25,000. In the process we have enrolled some 41 Friends of IOTA at the various levels of support. Once we reach our target we will not need to call on a promised commercial loan to fund IOTA’s new IT system and anything above that figure will go towards promotion of IOTA in ways that we have not previously been able to fund.
Those close to IOTA will have noticed that we have in the last 10 days introduced on our existing IT system the first stage of acceptance of electronic confirmation of contacts by QSO matching of logs, something that the IOTA community has been requesting for some time. A fuller note on this appears in a concurrent News Item. It is a start.
We are still a long way short of our financial target, so we invite IOTA enthusiasts who wish to join our Happy Band of Friends of IOTA to check the entry details here. A list of those who have reached the various levels of support has been included in the note. Become a Friend of IOTA and help us take IOTA forward. If you are already one, consider progressing to a higher support level by increasing your donation!”
