ARCTIC - DRIFTING BASE
R35NP is history now. The evacuation of the drifting station "SP-35"
takes place since Jul 14. The nuclear icebreaker "Arktika" and the
scientific vessel "Michail Somov" arrived already two days earlier
but due to foggy weather the evacuation could not be started before.
Like reported earlier the drift began on Sep 21,2007, on an ice floe
2 km by 4 km big, but has today only the size of 300m by 600m.
The station drifted with an average speed of 8,5 km per day a distance
of approximately 2500 km.

DXCC: The DXCC manager Bill Moore,NC1L, reports that in the last QST some
Honor Roll members were listed with a wrong DXCC count and others were
not even considered. Bill is very sorry about this mistake.
---
QSL cards of the 5X4X DXpedition 2007 are accepted for DXCC credit now.
---
Excerpt from the ARRL Letter of July 25, 2008: The Board of Directors
of the ARRL acted on the Programs and Services Committee report, voting
to eliminate Rule 5 from Section III of the DXCC Rules which forbade to
publish log data. This rule conflicted with the "Open Log Policy" of
the CQ World Wide Contests when thousands of CQWW logs were published
last year. This should end the discussion about public logs.
