CQMM DX CONTEST ---> The CQ MM DX Contest, organized by the  Juiz de Fora CW
Group (http://www.cwjf.com.br/), will be  held on  20-21 April.  It will run
from 9 UTC on Saturday  through  23.59 on Sunday,  on 80, 40, 20, 15 and  10
metres CW.  Complete details  can be found  at  http://www.cqmmdx.com.

JX7GIA ---> Ken, LA7GIA was on Jan Mayen (EU-022) on 4 April for about  five
hours. This time included selecting the QTH, installing and taking down  all
gear and antennas. He was active as JX7GIA and made 630 CW QSOs on 20 metres
in four hours.  "I really felt like winning a powerball lottery  when  I was
allowed a free seat at the 3 hour Military flight going  from  Oslo Military
airport  directly  to  Jan Mayen",  he says.  "I  have been discussing  this
possibility with the Military for about 5 years.  They have regular  flights
going to Jan Mayen, but there are very rarely available seats both ways, and
one  also need a  special invitation  to be allowed  to enter this  military
flight. They let me know  the day before  that there was an opportunity.  It
was a big surprise to me  as I almost had given up this  possibility a  long
time ago". Read the JX7GIA story on http://la7gia.com/jx7gia/index.html. All
630 QSOs have been uploaded to LoTW; traditional QSLs are via  LA7GIA direct
only (note that "if you made a dupe, there is no LoTW, but you will get your
QSO confirmation via direct").

TQSL: NEW VERSION ---> A new version (v2.4.5) of  LoTW's  Trusted QSL (TQSL)
is now available:  http://www.arrl.org/tqsl-download. It has new features as
well as corrections for defects found since TQSL 2.4.3 was released; it also
includes an update to the most recent TQSL configuration file.

XR1RRC ---> After  completing  the  XR0ZRC  DXpedition  to  Juan  Fernandez,
Russian Robinson Club's members R7AL, RK8A and RA1ZZ were active  as  XR1RRC
from Santa Maria Island (SA-069) on 7-10 April.  Club Log's OQRS is the only
way to get a QSL card, and it will be enabled as soon as the  paper logs are
transferred to electronic format. Club Log's IOTA Matching function  will be
enabled after one month only for those who  request a direct card or  make a
donation.
