2009 CQ WPX CONTEST (Rule Changes). Randy Thompson, K5ZD, Director of
the CQ WPX Contest, announced that the rules for the 2009 CQ WPX Contest
are now available. See:        http://www.cqwpx.com/rules.htm
There are changes throughout the rules, so participants are encouraged to
read the complete rules carefully. Many of the changes were to align with
similar rules in the CQ WW Contest or to clarify administrative details.
There is no change to the scoring. Most of the changes are administrative
and should have little impact on the competitive and fun aspects of the
contest. They look forward to more sunspots and another record year of
participation in the 2009 WPX contests. Look for CQ WPX 2008 Contest
results in the January (SSB) and March (CW) issues of CQ Magazine.

4A, MEXICO (Special Event). Members of the DXXE (Mexican Contest and DX
group) will celebrate their 4th anniversary by using the special callsign
4A1DXXE between December 25th and January 6th (2009). Activity will be
on 160-6 meters using CW, SSB and RTTY. QSL via N7RO and the LoTW. QSOs
with this station are good for the DXXE Award. For more information,
visit the DXXE Web page at:        http://www.dxxe.org

5H, TANZANIA (IOTA Op). Sigi/DL7DF and his XYL Sabine will be on holiday
in Zanzibar (AF-032), February 3-13th. Look for Sigi to sign 5H1DF and
be active on 160-10 meters using CW, SSB, RTTY and SSTV as often as
possible. His equipment consists of a transceiver, a linear TY900, a 18m
Lowband Vertical, a Vertical R7, as well as a laptop computer. QSL via
DL7DF, by the German QSL Bureau (DARC) or direct to: Sigi Presch,
Wilhelmsmuehlenweg 123, D-12621 Berlin, Germany. For updates and more
details, visit:        http://www.dl7df.com/5h/index.html

7P, LESOTHO. Danny, ZS6AW, is expected to be active as 7P8AA this week
between December 24-27th. His main activity will be on 20 meters SSB.
QSL via his home callsign.

9M2, WEST MALAYSIA. Dani, EA4ATI, informed OPDX that he is working now in
Malaysia. He has been issued the callsign 9M2TI and will be operating
from Kuala Lumpur city. Using a vertical antenna with 400 watts, look
for Dani to be active on 40/20/15/10 meters using CW and SSB. He also
mentions that he will participate in the main international contests
(like the CQ WPX) from a different location with a better station (yagi
antennas and also dipole for 80m). Dani will stay in Malaysia for at
least one year. QSL via his home callsign.

ASIAN TRIP (Update). By the time you read this Frank, I2DMI, should be
active from Thimphu, Bhutan, as A52RY between December 22-31st. Frank
informed OPDX on Friday that he will be using his own vertical antenna
because the yagi at the HAM CENTRE has been broken by wind. He also
mentioned that he still does not know his callsign for Nepal, but he
will get a 9N7 (RY? or DMI?) callsign after his arrival in Kathmandu.
Please remember he will only be active during his spare time as A52RY.
Activity will only be RTTY. He thinks his operating periods will likely
be in the ranges of 0100-0300z and 1200-1900z. Suggested target frequencies
will be 3582, 7040, 10142, 14082, 18102, 21082, 24922 and 28082 kHz,
listening up 2 or spread 2-10 kHz depending on the pileup. He will
concentrate his activity on the opened bands. QSOs will be put on LoTW
and e-QSL the second week of January. Bureau cards will go out the fourth
week of March. You can QSL direct to I2DMI:  P.O. Box 55 - 22063 CANTU,
Italy. Include a self addressed envelope (SAE) and sufficient return
postage. Please QSL only to his P.O. Box # 55 - 22063 Cantu (not his

This is the day before the big 3 day Dayton event! CTU 2009 will feature

Professors). They will present state of the art contesting topics that
will increase your knowledge and fun. Thanks to our flagship Sponsor -
Icom America for their continued support of CTU 2009 and our contesting
radio sport. Also thanks to CQ Magazine, DX Engineering, Comtek Systems,

  cards and had to return them as NIL. Arik confirmed that he did not
  make these QSOs. Anyone working a station signing 5X1AB after 1740z
  on October 9th, 2008, you worked a pirate, save your postage."

  receiving lot of QSL cards for the recent expedition (NA-132/NA-133)
  from the USA with only a 42 cent stamp only on the envelope. These
  cards will not be answerd directly because his post office box in
  Miami is a mail drop-off (to make it easier/safer for him to retrieve
  the cards). The QSLs will be mailed to Colombia and then sent back to
  the U.S. for mailing; the expenses are over one USD for each envelope.
