THE WORLD OF DX
In the world of DX, Polish operators will be operating from Central
Kiribati, starting on 4th October for about 4 weeks. The callsign will
be T31T, and they will be on all bands 80m to 6m. They are also hoping
to train local residents in the use of Emergency Radio Communication
systems. Send QSL cards via Club Log OQRS.
Stan LZ1GC, and Emil, DL8JJ, will use the call sign H44GC from the
Solomon Islands until 3rd October. Listen for them anywhere between 160m
and 10m on CW, SSB, and RTTY. Their QSL Manager is LZ1GC.
New Zealand amateur operators will be active from Norfolk Island as VK9NZ
until the 8th of October. They hope to have 3 stations operating
simultaneously. Send QSL cards to ZL3PAH. Logs will also be uploaded to
Logbook of The World.

KICKER: RECIPES ON THE AIR
JIM/ANCHOR: We end this week's newscast with this simple message: If you
are hungry, really hungry, for a good radio contact, this report from
Graham Kemp, VK4BB, is just for you.
GRAHAM: What is the recipe for a good QSO? Perhaps the question really
ought to be: Where do you find a QSO for a good recipe?
Why, on 20 meters of course, on Monday nights. That's where you will find
ROTA. That's R-O-T-A for "recipes on the air." This is a weekly Net in
Australia that really cooks, whether the food-prep method is boiling,
roasting or baking. Begun in May 2012, by Australian native Bruce, ZD7VC,
the on-air gathering immediately follows the ANZA DX Net, as it did at
the very start when Bruce's YL Charmaine, ZD7A began one day to chat about
food with Lyn, VK4SWE. Lyn told Newsline in an email: QUOTE "It was fun to
chat with another YL and learn of different styles of cuisine and we
exchanged recipes by email. We soon discovered that many of the ANZA OMs
had XYLs who were licensed but not very active." ENDQUOTE
Soon, Bridgette, ZS1V, and Sue, ZS1AFR, joined in, as did others, some
of whom lived on rare IOTA destinations.
The fickleness of propagation adds spice to the whole activity of course
and Lyn says that Monday nights have never been the same. The group
starts checking in around 0630 UTC, after the ANZA DX Net on 14.183.
They'll chew the rag, and then plan on chewing whatever else they've got
on the stovetop, or in the oven, to share.
For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Graham Kemp, VK4BB.
