W3AZD, SK

It is with much sadness that I must report the passing of our

good friend Don Search, W3AZD.

Don was a member of PVRC in Maryland, and an avid DX'er and he was a QCWA member.

He will be missed by the many friends he made over the years.

When arrangements are known, they will be posted on our

various amateur radio media.

CLUB LOG & FOLDING@HOME ---> As of 21 March Michael, G7VJR has allocated
"100% of Club Log's computing resources to scientific research into COVID-19
proteins, as part of the Folding@Home project. Club Log is contributing 120
CPU cores (most running at 3.4GHz) to this project. I have taken the deci-
sion to give this work higher priority than Club Log's usual amateur radio
functions, so you may see uploads take slightly longer. I do not think most
users will notice the additional wait, but I've added a warning to the
upload form inside Club Log to explain. You can get involved, too. Club Log
has a Folding@Home team, number 246763. You can read more about this dis-
tributed computing project at https://foldingathome.org/ (Coronavirus - What
we're doing and how you can help in simple terms)".

HAMVENTION QSO PARTY ---> The Dayton Hamvention for 2020 has been cancelled.
The World Wide Radio Operators Foundation, in cooperation with the Hamven-
tion organizers, want to create a fun way for people to celebrate the Ham-
vention experience over the air: the Hamvention QSO Party. It will be held
on 16 May, from 12 to 24 UTC (twelve hours), on 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10
metres CW and SSB. Only single operator entries are accepted, and the
exchange will be signal report + the first year you attended Hamvention (if
you have never attended, send 2020). Work as many stations as possible, in-
cluding W8BI (the club call of the Dayton Amateur Radio Association) which
will give special bonus points. See https://wwrof.org/hamvention-qso-party/
for detailed information. The event will be in memory of Ron Moorefield
(W8ILC), who attended every Hamvention since the beginning and passed away
just two days after the Hamvention 2020 cancellation announcement.

IARU REGION 1 CONTESTS ---> Radio amateurs will share the concerns of
everyone about the seriousness of the COVID-19 outbreak. Governments all
over the world are advising "social distancing" to slow the spread of the
virus and to give health services the chance to cope.
Field days bring radio amateurs together and therefore represent an environ-
ment where social distancing is difficult to achieve. We must recognise that
many radio amateurs are in the older, higher risk age groups.
IARU Region 1 therefore asks national societies which promote field days and
multi-operator contests to reconsider their position on these events for the
next few months of 2020. Field days are essentially team contests, and so
IARU will not sponsor the Region 1 HF-CW Field Day in June. It is a matter
for national societies to decide whether and how they continue with their
national field day events.
IARU Region 1 believes more generally that multi-operator contests are not
consistent with the principle of "social distancing" and should not be
promoted at this time.
The position on other IARU events in 2020 which involve multi-operator cate-
gories is under review. [Don Beattie (G3BJ), President IARU Region 1,
https://www.iaru-r1.org/]

INTERNATIONAL MARCONI DAY ---> Organized by the Cornish Radio Amateur Club,
(http://gx4crc.com/gb4imd/), this year's event was due to be held on 25
April, but it has been cancelled in the light of the concerns arising from
the COVID-19 pandemic.

INTREPID SPIRIT AWARD ---> The Intrepid-DX Group is pleased to announce that
this year's award goes to the Perseverance DX Group's VP8PJ South Orkney
Islands team (DJ9RR, HA0NAR, HB9BXE, K3EL, K5GS, N6XG, N7QT, NG2H, UT6UD,
VK6CQ, W1SRD, W2LK, W7XU and WA6O) "for their superb activation from Signy
Island. This DXpedition was extremely well planned and executed from this
very remote, cold and harsh island". The Intrepid-DX Group recognizes "the
entire team's collective effort to activate these challenging and much
needed entities on behalf of a   grateful Global DX Community", and
acknowledges "the team's pursuit of operating excellence in making these
difficult activations". Made in memory of James McLaughlin, WA2EWE/T6AF
(killed in Kabul, Afghanistan, on 27 April 2011), the Intrepid Spirit Award
"is intended to recognize and honor those individuals or teams that boldly
activate rare entities where their own personal safety is secondary to their
pursuit of providing contacts to the DX Community". [TNX N6PSE]

IOTA CONTEST 2020 ---> "We have reached a point with COVID-19 that it is
inappropriate for us to run the IOTA Contest in July 2020 in its usual
format", Nick Totterdell, G4FAL (RSGB HF Contest Committee's chair) says.
"We cannot encourage our participants to operate in multi-operator groups,
nor to travel to island locations where visitors are not currently welcome.
We would like your opinion on whether we should cancel outright or should
retain a contest this year for single operator, home stations only.
We are also conscious that a large number of our members are going to be
spending more time at home than normal. Unable to enjoy many of our
favourite outdoor contests we are proposing a series of home-based day-time
contests to entertain and support one another.
Both these issues are detailed in a survey which we invite you to complete.
This is at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/RSGB_HFCC_2020. The survey is
open until 3 April, after which the outcomes will be made public".

RI0B ---> The RI0B team made about 5,600 QSOs during their IOTA operation
from Rastorguyev Island (18-22 March). The log has been uploaded to Club Log
and the OQRS has been enabled: https://clublog.org/logsearch/RI0B/AS-68.

VP2VB ---> The recent VP2VB commemorative DXpedition (11-16 March) made some
18,000 QSOs. "We are currently reviewing the FT8 backup file for more QSOs
and getting QSL card design ready for printing", OH2BH says. "It will be a
4-page, full color affair - for this special occasion. LoTW will soon fol-
low". "Digging into the past of the first multi-hopping DXpeditioner Danny
Weil, VP2VB was another rich piece of history", he adds. "Spending time at
his home on Tortola, British Virgin Islands, gave us a blend of history in
its original setting. Together with Austrian DocuFunk archives, headed by
Paulina (OE1YPP) and Wolf (OE1WHC), and meeting with Kenneth (VP2VK) and
George (VP2VQ) and the local telecom authorities placed us straight back
where it all once began. We have now collected most of the material,
including Danny's only existing interview: https://www.qrz.com/db/VP2VB.
