ITALY & 60 METRES ---> The WRC-15 60m band allocation has been released  for
amateur radio use  in Italy.  The national frequency plan, published  in the
Gazzetta Ufficiale (the official journal of  the  Italian government)  on 19
October, now allows the use from  5351.5 to 5366.5 kHz  on a secondary basis
with with a maximum power of 15 watts EIRP.

QSL NOT VIA NR6M ---> "Due to circumstances in my personal life", NR6M says,
I am no longer doing QSL manager work.  I am only managing  my personal call
and V47UR.  For  all the  stations  that  I was previously managing,  please
contact the individual  callsign owners on how  to obtain their  QSL cards".
According  to  his  qrz.com  cached page (8 October 2018),  Rex was  the QSL
manager for 5W0W, A52PD, A6/N2IEN, C6/N2IEN, CO2HQ, DU1/W7XA, DU1KA, DU1WGA,
EL2BWI, EL2EF, FJ/KB2HZI, FJ/N2IEN, FJ/NN2DX,  FJ/W2RE,  FJ/WW2DX,  H40IOTA,
H44IND, H44IOTA, H44RK, H44USMC,  HH2/N2IEN, HH2AA, J8/WW2DX,  NN2DX,  NP4R,
OY/N2IEN, OY/W2RE, OY/WW1X, OY/WW2DX, OY6A (IARU 2015 only), TG9AJR,  V26PD,
VK4EI, VK4SWE, VK7XX, VP2EZZ, VP2V/AA7V, VP2V/K6TOP, VP2V/KE2VB, VP2V/N2IEN,
VP2V/N3DXX, YJ0AT, YJ0RK, ZF2AV, ZL1G, ZL2HAM, ZM1G, ZR9C and ZS6WN.

TT8KO ---> After being forced  to  QRT  on  10 October  and  prevented  from
leaving Chad since 18 October [425DXN 1433], eventually  Ken, LA7GIA (TT8KO)
was permitted to go home.  He was no longer allowed  to get on the air,  but
was able to dismantle  all of his antennas.  His  flight was booked  for  25
October.

VP6D ---> The first QSO in the log was made on 20 October at 04:16 UTC.  The
latest statistics update (8 UTC on 26 October) shows  51827 QSOs made on  CW
(28743), SSB (13520), FT8 (8916), RTTY (646) and PSK (2)  with  15453 unique
stations (29.82 %)  located  in  North America (56.84 %),  Europe (24.94 %),
Asia (13.12 %), rest of the world (5.1%).  The most productive  bands so far
are 20m and 40m (13375 and 11377 QSOs respectively).
"We know  Ducie  is an ATNO for many DXers",  the team on  the island  says.
"However, we are seeing far too many dupes. People are working us  and a few
minutes later working us again,  the operators are getting a bit frustrated.
DXA availability depends on two Ducie Island  networks  that are  subject to
intermittent outage.  If either network drops out DXA does not do  a refresh
to pick up missing calls".  So "do not rely  on  what  may show on DXA,  but
check the 'Logsearch & OQRS' page  on https://www.vp6d.com for the  official
record of your contact".  The team knows that "some FT8 QSOs are not in  the
log yet", but they are "working that problem". For busted calls, not in log,
etc., follow the guide on the website's 'QSL Information' page.
