The location chosen this year is the beautiful town of Milazzo, near Messina, Sicily. Milazzo is located on a peninsula of great natural beauty overlooking the archipelago of the Aeolian Islands. Below there is a video that shows the beauty of the "Peninsula of the Sun", where it is always summer!

(See:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI62l3gK0I8)
The arrival is scheduled for Friday afternoon, but who decides to arrive early in the morning will have a chance to go “on air” /IT9 by ARI Milazzo club station, who kindly make available your own radio station. Then you can then move to a local restaurant (lunch is not included in the packages).

On Friday afternoon, will be free the ladies who can enjoy shopping, going to the beach etc..

Saturday, May 17: Early in the morning is scheduled to leave for a hydrofoil boat to the island of Vulcano, Aeolian Archipelago, IOTA EU-017, IIA E018.

Vulcano will be activated with a radio station at the restaurant that also will host us for lunch.

The activation of Vulcano is not mandatory and is not included in the packages, those who did not want to wake up early to catch the hydrofoil can spend the day as you prefer: beach, shopping or hiking around Milazzo.

The pizza on Saturday noon will be at the Ritrovo Diana, in the center of Milazzo, 2 minutes (walk) from the hotel.

Sunday, May 18: The final day, but also the main day of the party will take place at the Castello of Milazzo.

In this beautiful scenery the editors of DxCoffee have organized a series of discussions on topics that have always interest our pub- lications: DXpedition, Contesting, IOTA. Soon we will publish the program of the morning.

Also on this occasion will be installed a radio station and you can do activities such as IQ9MY / P (Reference DCI-ME001)

Always at the castle, in a room adjacent to that which will host the convention will take place at the lunch a buffet of typical Sicilian dishes.

D4, CAPE VERDE
Jorg, DL3LUM/PA1MUC, will be active as D44TXU from Santa Maria, Sal Island (AF-086), between April 19-25th.

QSL via DL3LUM, direct (Dutch home address) or by the DARC QSL Bureau.

DXCC NEWS
Bill Moore, NC1L, ARRL Awards Branch Manager, reports on the Crimea and DXCC situation: Upon request of the CEO, the ARRL Awards committee evaluated the situation at present in Crimea against the DXCC rules. As the interpreter of the rules, the following is the Awards Committee's decision on how to "count" QSOs with stations operating from Crimea.

Crimea is not a DXCC entity. Neither Russia nor Ukraine is a rare entity and the vast majority of confirmations used for DXCC credit for either entity do not involve Crimea.
DXCC Rule 4 reads:

"4. Confirmation data for two-way communications must include the call signs of both stations, the entity name as shown in the DXCC List, mode, date, time and band. Except as permitted in Rule 1, cross-mode contacts are not permitted for DXCC credits. Confirmations not containing all required information may be rejected."
A QSL with a call sign issued by the administration of Ukraine and showing the entity name as Ukraine counts as Ukraine.

A QSL with a call sign issued by the administration of Russia and showing the entity name as Russia counts as Russia.

A QSL that satisfies neither condition does not count for either entity.

73 es DX!

FT4T, TROMELIN (Update)
The FT4TA DXpedition team to Tromelin Island, which takes place between October 30th and November 10th, have announced their pilots stations and posted a link on their Web site. The following pilots stations were named:

Chief Pilot - Col, MM0NDX; E-mail address: dxer59@gmail.com Asia/Japan - Harumi, JR4OZR; E-mail address: Jf1pjk@ybb.ne.jp Europe/Africa - Bjorn, ON9CFG; E-mail address: on9cfg@telenet.be Oceania - Al, ZL2AL; E-mail address: leezl2al@gmail.com North America (*East Coast) / South America - Don, N1DG; don@aurumtel.com North America (*West Coast) - Rich, KY6R; E-mail address: ky6r@arrl.net
* To avoid confusion on the definition of East Coast and West Coast, they decided that the boundary is the Mississippi River. All that is in the West should be sent to the pilot West Coast and vice versa. Naturally, if an error occurs, your application will be all the same consideration. They recommend that you simply stick to detailed regional organization above. They also remind you that the drivers (pilots) will not have access to the logs. Any requests for QSO data are to be sent to QSL Manager only.

Rusty Epps/W6OAT and Ken Anderson/K6TA retired from the board this year and were thanked for their many years of service.

Our scholarship funds will be directed toward supporting new DXers (age 25 or less) at CT University sessions over the next two years.

At the International DX Convention banquet, we were presented a generous check of $12,000 from the Southern California DX Club.

The board is grateful for the generous contributions from the DX community, without such support, DXpeditions to the Most Wanted and hard to get to entities would not happen. Have you donated yet? You can make your contribution on the website:

They expect to receive the callsigns ZK3Q (SP5EAQ) and ZK3E (SP5ES) -- callsigns to be confirmed. QSL route TBD. For more details and updates, see:
