RUSSIAN BASES IN ANTARCTICA

After i worked RI1ANA on 17 mtr cw this week.

I was curious of where the different RI1A## qth's where.

I checked with qrz.com ,and this was the call's I found.

I probably missed some also,but intresting to know..

They are marked with a blue square.

CONTEST CALLSIGN NORWAY LC # #

Good news for the Activ contesters in Norway.

From NeXT year (2018) Norwegian radio hams can get a 2x1 callsign.

It will be like LC1A..LC1B..LC1C and so on.

If i understand it correctly it will only be the LC serie of qrz's

But this is good News, Rumors have been for this some times

but finally I read about this in the Norwegian ham radio Magazine #6/17.

It will be the national ham radio League (NRRL) that will

assign the Licenses. (valid for 5 years) after this you can

renew for 5 more years.  I think it's a blue copy of the system

they have in Sweden (SSA) A good Christmas present from NRRL and NKOM.

The photo of the Young lady is from the 60's..she must have been on from a HOT spot..

MERRY CHRISTMAS

CQ WAZ AWARD via LOTW

Amateur Radio operators will be able to use LoTW logs to generate lists of confirmed contacts to be submitted for WAZ credit. Standard LoTW credit fees and separate CQ award fees will apply.

Implementation, documentation, and internal testing of the link between LoTW and WAZ is complete. ARRL and CQ are now assembling a team of external “beta testers” to assure that the link is ready for widespread use. A separate announcement will be made when LOTW’s support for CQ WAZ is available to everyone.
