General information.
Caribbian tour 2001 (Update). Rob, PA5ET, reports that the callsign
J3PA, which was previously announced, can't be used and has been chan-
ged by the Government of Grenade into J38PA. The 8 in the callsign is
for visitors and MUST unfortunately be used. Remember, the Low Land
DXpedition Team (LLDXT) will be active from the Island of Carriacou,
Grenada, August 2-15th and the Island Bequia, St.Vincent, August 16-
27th. The team members will be Bouke/PA0ZH, Ronald/PA3EWP, Rob/PA5ET
and Dennis/PA7FM. The callsigns will be J3/homecall, J8/homecall and
J38PA. The J38PA callsign will be used on Topband and during contests.
Their activity will be around the clock on 160-10 meters on the modes
CW, SSB, RTTY and PSK31. The Tour Web site, which will be updated daily
with the latest information, on-line logs, tour diary, digital photo's,
propagation forecasts and digital pile-up recordings, can be found at:
http://www.qsl.net/lldxt All QSLs will be managed again by PA5ET: Rob

QSL info. Mauro I1JQJ/KB2TJM QSP's; ARRL News release. August 2, 2001.
For further information contact: Wayne Mills, N7NG. Logbook of the
World. Fast on the heels of approval of the "Logbook of the World" by
the ARRL Board of Directors, software design to support the electronic
contact-verification program is continuing apace. ARRL Membership Ser-
vices Manager and LOTW Project Manager, Wayne Mills, N7NG, said the
ARRL hopes soon to make LOTW software modules available to vendors for
incorporation into their logging programs. These modules are being de-
veloped as part of the Trusted QSL open-source project headed by Darryl
Wagoner, WA1GON. (More information about the Trusted QSL project can be
found at "www.sourceforge.net/projects/trustedqsl") "We have been in
touch with 15 or so developers of popular logging software," Mills
said. "We're also looking at providing a basic, do-it-yourself program
to get contact data to ARRL." At the heart of the Logbook of the World
concept is a huge repository of log data provided by operators from in-
dividual DXers and contesters to major DXpeditions - and maintained by
ARRL. Mills says the system will benefit big and little guns alike by
providing quick QSO credit for awards offered by ARRL, and, it's hoped,
for awards offered by other organizations as well. Once it becomes
available which could be as early as the middle of next year Logbook
of the World will accept authenticated data directly from computerized
logs via the Internet. "This is an e-mail based system that uses easy-
to-obtain digital signatures for authentication," Mills said. "Once you
get your digital certificate, a few keystrokes will do the trick."
Mills said the program envisions user access to the LOTW "confirmed
database" so an operator can see what "matches" turn up--such as con-
firmation of new DXCC entities, states or grid squares. "We'll also
publish a list of logs that have been submitted," he said, adding that
operators may access the LOTW database once they've uploaded their own
log data. Heading up software development is ARRL Electronic Publi-
cations Manager Jon Bloom, KE3Z, along with Web Applications Developer
Mark Simcik, WA1VVB. Software specifications already have been estab-
lished. Advising the project are Darryl Wagoner, WA1GON, Dick Green,
WC1M and Ted Demopoulos, KR1G. ARRL staffer and well-known contester
and DXer Dave Patton, NT1N, who conducted the original electronic QSL
project study, is also assisting. Mills said that he hopes to be able
to announce a specific inauguration date for Logbook of the World
within a few months, as the software design progresses.
Yugoslavia, YU. Georges F8OP, writes; "YU7BW will be QRV the next week

(QSP de UKSMG ann.)
Scotland, GM. I will be on 50MHz from IO66 (Isle of Mull) for the two
weeks from 6-18 August, and will try to be specially active in the Per-
seids on SSB/CW. Callsign on 6m will be GM5RP. The station is only 100W
to a 3-ele, and the takeoff to the south is poor. Also it's a family
holiday, not a DXpedition, so sri NO SKEDS. Preferred frequency for MS
CQs will be 50.165. I will TX the odd minutes ("second" periods) with
breaks on the 15 sec. Modes will be SSB or normal CW - sri no HSCW. On
other propagation modes I'll use the usual frequencies, or .165 for
blind CQs on odd minutes. I'll try to announce myself on the KB3CWS
chat reflector when QRV. No guarantees, but hope to work some of you!

Ghana, 9G. Dick K5AND, writes; This is the first alert on our up-coming
trip. Arliss, W7XU, Ed, W0SD and I (K5AND) will be operating from Ghana
West Africa from Friday, Oct. 26 until Sunday night, Nov. 4. We will be
in the city of Elmina, about 100 Km southwest of Accra. This is a
coastal (beach) location, so that should help. Grid square is IJ95. We
will be taking two FT-100D's, a 3CX800 amp, a 7 element 27' antenna and
a 25' rotating mast. We will also have HF equipment (100 watts) for
28.885 and 14.345. Of course we will have a beacon-mode keyer etc. Not
sure about Internet yet, but it is probable. Beacon frequencies etc.
will come later. Plane tickets are in hand, help from members of Ghana
Amateur Radio Society has been secured and preparations are well under
way. Comments and suggestions are welcome (please respond direct).
