STOP Russian callsigns from the Georgia territory!!! We are very opposite to the uses of Russian callsigns from Georgian territory." PLEASE NOTE: The Georgian Republic prefix of 4L has been in effect since August 1, 1994. Abkhazia is not part of Russia, and therefore cannot count as Russia for DXCC. 4L, GEORGIA.

A group of Brazilian and Argentines DXers are organizing a operation from Trindade Island in near future, and the information that the ADXG has is what is written on QRZ.com under ZZ0T, and a general letter signed by Martin Bufera (LU9EFO) addressed to the DX community. The ADXG is not the organ- izer of this expedition. They have been part of several previous expedition to the island, but not this one. They wish total success of this event. There has not been a operation from Trindade for a quite long time. The ADXG suggests future contact be made with Martin, PT2/LU9EFO. BALKANS TOUR (Update).

(It's Been a While) Wayne Mills, N7NG, at DX University reports (on July 12th): "Yes, it's been a while -- too long -- since I have reached for the keyboard to express some fact and opinion. In July 2004, changes were made to the DXCC List Criteria that -- as time would tell -- rendered the criteria ineffective." In the article written by Wayne, he goes on states, "We hope to see a change coming within the next ten days (ed. which would be July 22nd). Much effort has gone into the process required to effect this change. On Monday of next week (ed. July 17th), on this page (ed. see Web page below), I will elaborate on the original 'situation' and its effects. Why it happened, and how we proposed to fix it." Wayne's complete article was on the "DX University" Web site <http://www.dxuniversity.com>, but has since been removed.

It can also be of benefit to other Radio Amateurs to determine band conditions for Nets and casual QSO's. This information is NOT based on any software pre- dictions or any kind of satellite based readings. It is based on a new Ionospheric sounding method called "HF Ionospheric Interferometry" which operates very similarly to the PolSAR system used by NASA.

Ward, N0AX, reports: "OK, ham radio folks - I'm sure all of you have family, friends, clubs who are interested in the eclipse. Knowing you're a ham radio operator, maybe they asked how the eclipse will affect radio waves (a.k.a. 'RF' for 'radio frequency'). Here's an article I wrote in Nuts & Volts magazine presenting several things they can do with radios they already have to hear the effect them- selves. There are other articles to read listed in the article and on the HamSCI website, too. Got your goggles yet?" http://hamsci.org/article/non-ham-participation-observing-eclipses-rf-effects http://www.nutsvolts.com/magazine/article/the-solar-eclipse-and-ham-radio The solar eclipse will take place on Monday, August 21st.
