CQ NEWS (Wayne Mills, N7NG, Named CQ DX Editor)
Richard, W2VU, Editor of CQ Amateur Radio, reported on January 22nd: "Renowned DXer, DXpeditioner and contester Wayne Mills, N7NG, of Jackson, Wyoming, has been named CQ magazine's DX Editor, magazine Editor Rich Moseson, W2VU, announced today. Mills - a 1999 inductee into the CQ DX Hall of Fame - succeeds Carl Smith, N4AA, who has stepped down after writing the magazine's DX column for 13 years.

Licensed in 1953 at age 11, Wayne began DXing in 1956 and went on his first DXpedition in 1985. He was part of the ZA1A team that reintroduced amateur radio to Albania in 1991, and the inaugural operation from the newly-independent Republic of Kosovo in 2008. From 2000 to 2007, Wayne was manager of the ARRL's Membership Services Department and worked on developing the Logbook of the World electronic confirmation system. Wayne also set several contesting records over the years, but says he considers himself much more of a DXer than a contester.

'I am looking forward to working closely with Wayne,' said CQ Editor Rich Moseson, W2VU, 'and to sharing with our readers his depth of knowledge and first-hand experience with so many aspects of DXing. We at CQ also thank Carl for his many contributions to the magazine and to all of amateur radio over the past 13 years. We wish him all the best in the future.'

'Following in Carl's footsteps will be difficult,' noted Mills, 'but going forward as the new CQ DX column editor, I will attempt to discuss items of current interest such as DXpedition funding, pileup behavior and maybe the many aspects of remote control DXing.'

Mills will begin writing the CQ DX column as of the magazine's April 2013 issue."

ADDED NOTE FROM KB8NW: Your editor has known Carl Smith, N4AA, for many years. Carl has always amazed me with all the hard work he put in for the DX community (writing the "QRZ DX" bulletin, "The DX Magazine" and the DX column for CQ Magazine). Where does he find the time?? I guess he deserves this break. Thanks Carl for the many years as DX editor for CQ Magazine.

D4, CAPE VERDE
Mats, SM7GIB, will be active as D44TIB from Cape Verde (AF-086) between January 23d and February 7th. Activity will be holiday style using a wire vertical on 160-10 meters. QSL via his home callsign.

DX ACROSS AFRICA
In January 2013, Jon, TF3ZA, and a team of 15 ad- venturers will attempt to drive from Reykjavik, Iceland to Cape Town, South Africa on a heavy duty ex-military 4×4 Bedford MK truck. Their planned route through the African continent is approximately 20,000km, and they estimate it will take them 6 months to reach Cape Town. They will depart Reykjavik in early January 2013 and update their Web site with news of their DXpedition. The operation is to last for approximately six months from 20 DXCC entities in Africa. Jon is in the process of obtaining licenses to operate from the following DXCC entities: CN2ZA, 5T0ZA, 6W/TF3ZA, 3XY0ZA, TU2ZA (pending), 9G0ZA, 5V7ZA, TY0ZA (pending), TJ0ZA (pending), TR0ZA (pending), TN0ZA (pending), 9Q0ZA (pending), 9J0ZA, Z2/TF3ZA, A20ZA and ZS/TF3ZA.

The preferred QSL method is via LoTW. All logs will be uploaded to LoTW as soon as possible. The usage of Logbook Of The World is strongly encouraged, it's free, easy to set up and the fastest way to confirm your QSOs. An alternative QSL method is via OQRS. The OQRS system will be embedded on the Web site AFTER the expedition in August 2013. Direct QSL cards is the 3rd option. Send your QSL card with a Self Addressed Envelope and sufficient return postage, 2 USD per 50gr. (IRC will NOT be accepted), to: Jón Ágúst Erlingsson, Álftamýri 14, 108 Reykjavík, Iceland. Bureau cards should be sent via TF3ZA. An online log search will be available on the Web page, as well as tracking the team and their complete route. The Web page is at:

"Each year at this time DXCC is busy finishing up applications from the previous year. I have been getting questions from hams asking about applications that were sent for 2013.

Until DXCC completes applications for the 2012 calendar year, we cannot begin processing applications for 2013. Applicants can still submit their applications, but they need to be held pending completion of 2012.

Activity has been on 30/17/15 meters CW, but he is expected to focus on the low bands later. QSL via DJ2EH.
