KOSOVO IARU SOCIETY RECEIVES VISITORS FOR THE IARU HF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
WEEKEND (Press Release From Pristina, dated June 18th). [edited] From The
Desk of Vjollca Caka, Z61VB, SHARK, President -- Z60A On the air from July
6th through July 11th.
The 2016 IARU HF World Championship not only marks the very first entry
of the Kosovo Amateur Radio Association (SHRAK) as a new HQ multiplier,
but the week also represents multiple other valuables for Kosovar hams.
In a major outing, the SHRAK youth delegation headed by Driton Sadiku,
Z61DX, with Elona Shatri, Z63ESC, Edona Sela, Z63ESB, and Blindon Krasniqi,
Z63BKA, will travel to the IARU YOTA conference in Austria. Their selected
team will meet their initial instructors Hans, PB2T, and Martti, OH2BH, as
a kick-off for their first trip outside Kosovo. This outing received the
sincere support of the Amateur Radio Society of Austria (ÖVSV), the
Embassy
of Austria in Kosovo, and the Yasme Foundation, Inc.
The majority of the 50+ new hams in Kosovo come from the ranks of the
Technical University of Pristina, leading to another interesting link
taking place on the professional front. The local university rarely
receives visiting teachers, and thus Dr. Kim Östman, OH6KZP, will give
a lecture on the latest trends in RF microelectronics circuit development.
This session is hosted by the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineer-
ing (FIEK) at the Technical University of Pristina, and the Dean of the
faculty, Prof. Dr. Enver Hamiti.
The team will also exercise by hoisting a new Force-12 XR6 beam with
a Yaesu G1000DXC rotator on top of the university building, in the heart
of capital Pristina. These were kindly donated by the Chiltern U.K. DX
Foundation and by Force-12 represented by Bill Hein, AA7XT.
On the weekend the local folks team up with their visitors for the IARU
Championship contest, at multiple locations in and near Pristina. The
visiting operating team includes Hans, PB2T, Kenneth, OZ1IKY, Pertti,
OG2M, Kim, OH6KZP, Martti, OH2BH, Pekka, OH2TA, and Mario, S56A.

PJ2, CURACAO. Operators Jim/K3NK, Joe/W3HNK, Jim/K3NK, and Jeff/K8ND are
there as VERONA guests and will be active from the PJ2T station on Curacao
(SA-099) between July 1-12th. Operators (outside of the contest) will
probably sign PJ2/homecall. The group is there to participation in the
IARU HF World Championship as PJ2HQ and as a Multi-Op entry. QSL via LoTW.

PJ6, SABA ISLAND. Jeff, PJ6/NM1Y, will host this year's 2016 KB8OCP Dave
Kalter Memorial (SK) Youth DX Adventure (YDXA) team from his QTH on Saba
Island (NA-145) between August 2-9th. The team will consist of 3 teenage
operators, Morgan/KD8ZLK (11 yrs), YL Ruth/KM4LAO (17 yrs), and YL Faith/
AE4FH (11 yrs), and their chaperons/escorts Joe/KD8YPY, YL Sharon/KM4TVU,
and James/WX4TV. The team will use the callsign PJ6Y (Poppa-Japan-Six-
Youth). All technician and general class members of the team have been
granted rights under control op supervision! For more details about YDXA,
the PJ6/NM1Y QTH and each operator (both teen and Elmers), visit the

REALTIME BAND CONDITIONS WEB SITE http://www.bandconditions.com:
The purpose of this experimental Web site is to provide 24-7-365 actual
(REALTIME) band condition information to CW QRPp, QRPe and CW/SSB for
Contesters interested in increasing their scores. It can also be of
benefit to other Radio Amateurs to determine band conditions for Nets
and casual QSO's. This information is NOT based on any software pre-
dictions or any kind of satellite based readings. It is based on a
new Ionospheric sounding method called "HF Ionospheric Interferometry"
which operates very similarly to the PolSAR system used by NASA.
