4U1UN ---> "We're one step  closer to being  back on the air",  James Sarte,
K2QI (President of the  United Nations ARC, http://www.4u1un.net) posted  to
Facebook on 16 August. "As some may know, Dmitri Zhikharev RA9USU along with
Adrian Ciuperca KO8SCA have been  working with me  behind the scenes  to get
the station  operational again.  Through the generous donations  of Dima and
his associates (notably Ed Kritsky NT2X), we were able to get a rack mounted
K3,  Acom 2000  linear  amplifier, and  associated  network-enabled  control
hardware. We were also granted another K3 to act as  a  remote head  from SK
Tony N2UN via his widow, and delivered to us by Andrew Bodony K2LE. Finally,
Adrian has been doing a lot of behind-the-scenes networking and legwork with
his counterparts to help get things done from within the United Nations.
Yesterday represents an additional milestone for the club as Adrian (who did
most of the work) and I, finally erected a brand new  SteppIR BigIR vertical
antenna on the Secretariat's roof.  All that remains is to connect  and  lay
the ground  radials,  fine-tune  the  rack  mounted devices, and  setup  and
configure the remote K3. Once done and after almost a decade off-air, we can
finally call CQ 20 de 4U1UN".
"With regards  to remote",  K2QI  explained  in late July to  DX World  (see
https://dx-world.net/whats-the-issue-with-4u1un/), "the operators will still
be inside the UN proper.  Just now, everything will be done by  IP where the
control heads are located on the first floor and the transceiver on the 41st
floor  to minimize coax length to the antennas. There will be no true remote
operations of the station from outside  the compound as dictated by  current
UN network security protocols".

FT8 OPERATING GUIDE ---> Gary, ZL2IFB  has updated his "FT8 Operating Guide"
(Version 1.20), a collection of "tips, pragmatic suggestions aimed at making
FT8 easier and more effective to use on the HF bands": http://www.g4ifb.com/

NCDXF --- > The Northern California DX Foundation has announced the addition
of two new members to the Board: Rich Seifert (KE1B) and  Lee Finkel (KY7M).
Both "have strong technical  and legal backgrounds,  and years of DXpedition
experience, which will serve  them well as members  of the  NCDXF leadership
team".  The Board of  Directors  now includes  K6MM (President),  AA7A (Vice
President), W0GJ (Secretary),  N1DG (Treasurer), AA7JV, K6GFJ,  K6TD,  K9CT,
KE1B, KY7M and ND2T (Directors).  The primary  purpose of NCDXF is  to  help
fund well-organized DXpeditions to rare, difficult  and expensive  entities.
See http://www.ncdxf.org for complete information.

RI1FJ ---> Evgenij, UA4RX ended his 12-month assignment at the Ernst Krenkel
Observatory on  Heiss Island (EU-019),  Franz Josef Land  on 10 August.  The
RI1FJ station has been dismantled, and regrettably the 2018-19 team does not
include amateur radio operators. QSL via LoTW, Club Log's OQRS, or direct to
RW2F  (ex UA2FM):  Victor  N.  Loginov,  P.O. Box 73,  Kaliningrad,  236022,
Russia.
