NCDXF ANNOUNCES GRANT TO HAM AID (Press Release, dated October 3rd). The
Northern California DX Foundation is pleased to announce that it has made
a $2,500 grant to ARRL’s Ham Aid Fund. Ham Aid was created in 2005 in
response to the need for equipment and resources to support the amateur
radio response to hurricanes in the United States and Caribbean.
ARRL is currently supplying Ham Aid kits for the Hurricane Irma emergency
response efforts in Puerto Rico, where they are used to establish amateur
radio communications support. Using FEMA resources for shipping, the kits
are shipped via contracted courier to San Juan, Puerto Rico for deployment.
More Ham Aid equipment will be needed for future requests. NCDXF encourages
all amateurs to consider a donation to Ham Aid <www.arrl.org/ham-aid>.
The primary purpose of NCDXF is to help fund well-organized DXpeditions
to rare, difficult and expensive entities. Those funds come from the con-
tributions of our supporters in the DX community. Your contribution will
help continue to make DX happen. Visit our website: www.ncdxf.org
In addition:
• NCDXF provides scholarships to Contest University for those 25 years
of age and under
• Partners with IARU to operate the NCDXF Beacon System worldwide
• Oversees the Cycle 25 Project: an endowment-fund created from estate
planning

We thank you for your continued support.
Best regards,
John Miller, K6MM

REALTIME BAND CONDITIONS WEB SITE <http://www.bandconditions.com>:
The purpose of this experimental Web site is to provide 24-7-365 actual
(REALTIME) band condition information to CW QRPp, QRPe and CW/SSB for
Contesters interested in increasing their scores. 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.

WRTC 2018 NEWS (PRESS RELEASE, dates October 1st). WRTC 2018 e.V., organizer
and host of the World Radiosport Team Championship (WRTC) 2018, is proud to
announce the 63 teams that will be invited to compete in Germany next July.
WRTC is a competition among two-operator teams. Team Leaders have now
been selected for each qualifying region based on 2 years of qualifying
contest scores. The Team Leaders were given the option to select any
operator as a Team Mate to complete their team.
The team application and verification process was managed by Ulf Ehrlich,
DL5AXX. Ulf pointed out: "This will be a very competitive field. The top
three teams of WRTC 2014 in Boston will participate once again in the 2018
event!"
The five sponsored teams, all representing high level contesters, have
already been announced some time ago. The selection of the Youth and Wild
Card Teams required a more formal application process and, therefore,
could only be completed recently.
WRTC 2018 e.V. has received seven applications from Youth Teams, re-
presenting contesters younger than 25. The selection was based on the
number of qualification points, as defined in the rules. Team Leaders
will be CE2MVF (9107 points), YO8TTT (7254 points) and HA8RT (5056 points).
These results made it easy to decide in favor of the three Youth Teams
invited to participate in the WRTC 2018 competition.
Issuing Wild Cards has been an entirely different process. Similar to
the approach taken by the organizers of the WRTC 2014 in Boston we have
selected UN9LW (with Team Mate UN7LZ), who missed the qualification
criteria by just 24 points. Honoring the cleanest log of high scorers
ZL3CW (with F6BEE) was offered another Wild Card. Because of the close
competition in region EU#5 featuring outstanding results another Wild
Card was offered to 9A7DX (with 9A3LG) to join WRTC 2018. We also invited
YV1DIG, performing excellently behind the curtain of zone 9 DXpedition
stations. Finally we unanimously selected K1DG, chairman of the WRTC 2014,
well known top level contester, and champion of the first WRTC in 1990.
Not only did he do an outstanding job in Boston. By offering a Wild Card
to him we also wanted to express our appreciation and thanks to all of
the many fine people making WRTC 2014 in Boston such a great success. His
Team Mate will be N2NT - 2014 Competition Director and number five in NA#1
with 10.6 k points.
The complete list of competitors is available on our website:
http://wrtc2018.de/index.php/en/competition/participants
When making the announcement, WRTC 2018 President Christian Janssen,
DL1MGB, stated: "We are pleased to see a mix of veterans of previous WRTC
events and first-time participants among the competitors. The teams
represent over 35 countries and a wide range of personal backgrounds. While
the focus will be on the competition, we are looking forward to hosting
the teams and celebrating a week of ham spirit together with competitors,
organizers, volunteers and sponsors during the WRTC week."

XW, LAOS. Ken, K4ZW, will once again be active as XW4ZW from Vientiane
between December 3-8th. Activity will be on various HF bands, but with
a focus on the lower bands and usually CW only. QSL via K1SE direct
(with SAE/SASE). Log will be uploaded to LoTW and ClubLog. Ken states,
"All Bureau cards received will be answered, but it is time consuming
and expensive. Please note that I receive cards from the Bureau on average
once or twice per year. It takes up to 1 year to answer the cards. You
will need to be patient."

YE, INDONESIA. The YE2A Team will be active during the CQWW DX SSB Contest
(October 28-29th) as a Multi-? entry. QSL only LoTW. NO Bureau QSLs.
Operators mentioned are Kei/YB0ARJ, Agus/YB1ALL, Yohanes/YB2DX, Dani/YB2TJV,
