COVID-19 PANDEMIC ---> Travel restrictions, self-isolation  and  social dis-
tancing requirements as well as  general health  and  safety issues  arising
from the coronavirus pandemic are affecting quite a number of operations and
amateur radio events, which have been postponed or cancelled:
  HC5 by DL8UD   19 March-1 April   cancelled
  CQ3W           WPX SSB            cancelled
  KH2KY          WPX SSB            cancelled
  KH7M           WPX SSB            cancelled
  NH7A           WPX SSB            cancelled
  TC4PLH         WPX SSB            cancelled
  YB0/JJ1DQR     WPX SSB            cancelled
  Z66Y           WPX SSB            cancelled
  J88PI          6-14 April         cancelled
  IP1A           1-3 May            cancelled
  A25VR          1-22 May           postponed to 2021
  PA2020IG       9-16 May           cancelled
  V6TOPG2020     June-September     postponed to 2021
  VK5KI          22-28 July         cancelled
Among the cancelled events are the International Marconi Day (25 April), the
YOTA sub-regional camp in Hungary (11-15 June), the Youth Contest Program at
EC2DX in Spain (27-28 June) and the first  IARU Region 3 YOTA Camp  (planned
for 1-3 October in Thailand).

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.
