Dear IR members,
As you know, the IR HQ Council (Vice Presidents ring) has been active as an interim HQ for one year.
We strongly believe that all members should be able to vote and voice their opinion in a democratic way.
So it's now the right time to elect again a new IR-DX Group president.
From NOW until the 12th of March 23:59, candidates to IR-DX Group presidency can send an application
to irhqcouncil@irdx.org , where they will explain their motivation, plans, ideas to improve the group.
Only members that have been using the IR-DX callsign ONLY during the five last 5 years can be candidates to IR-DX presidency.
A list of candidates will be published on our website www.irdx.org after the 12th of March.
We are working on the voting system and will let you know the details later.
73 de IR-DX HQ Council
Lasts days, 3 Inland Waterways Islands in Biscay were activated, as “new one” on 11m.
Comment from the operator:
”Characteristics of theses 3 islands/rock are that, even if they are officially listed as IWI, they are located near the Atlantic ocean, and so, like any coastal Islands /rocks, they are affected by low /high tide…As of today, a bunch of “islands hunters” already worked me on all 3 islands/rock, so thanks to them, as well as the other ones, for their interest. I’ll be sporadically active again from these locations till April. Bests 73, cu on the air” ….
Reminder: Wait end of April 2015 before sending any logs entries and Qsl request! (to 14IR017)
(We expect multiple re-activations of these 3 ones, and maybe more to come till then)
For information, some Inland Waterways Islands in Biscay (Bizkaia, Vizcaya) will be on air when time allows, sporadic activity, with basic /P or /M setup.
QSL will be via 14IR017. One QSL for the whole island tour so don't hurry to send your QSL ! Wait until end april and group your cards ! Good luck !
