In this issue by DX Editor Dimiter Petrov, LZ1AF, with Broadcast Tips by Rumen Pankov:
World Wide Radio Operators Foundation
This Foundation was created in 2009 by a group of radio operators who saw a need for an independent
organization devoted to the skill and art of radio operating.
We believe, is said in their press release, that amateur radio contests provide a means of testing operating skill and that worldwide contest sponsors can benefit from the support we can provide.
The Directors and Officers of the World Wide Radio Operators Foundation are all well-known and highly-respected radio operators. In addition, each brings a specific skill set and proven track record in his professional career to the management of the organization.
A Focus on Operating! Amateur radio is a very diverse hobby. Some amateurs enjoy designing and building their own equipment. Some enjoy the thrill of chasing DX. Some simply enjoy casual conversations with other amateurs in far-off locations. Still others use their skills to provide communications in emergency situations where other forms of communication are not available.
National organizations such as ARRL serve the whole spectrum of pursuits in the hobby. Some clubs and organizations such as the Northern California DX Foundation, YASME Foundation, and mode-specific groups such as FOC and CWOps, are devoted to specific segments of the hobby. Nowever, no organization exists that is focused on radio operating across all bands and modes.
Until now, many of the elements of modern radio contest operating such as log-checking software, log-submission robots, etc. have been developed and supported by volunteers. Many of the enhance-ments envisioned for the future will involve considerable expense, and no organization exists to support them.
The World Wide Radio Operators Foundation was created to fill that need.
Chair, Founding Director is Doug Grant, K1DG, Vice Chair John Dorr, K1AR, Board members Ralph Bowen, N5RZ, Tom Lee, K8AZ, Mark Beckwith, N5OT, Bob Cox, K3EST and Tim Duffy, K3LR.
May 7 – Birthday of Radio
On May 7, 1895 Russian scientist Alexander Stepanovich Popov first demonstrated in St. Petersburg a transmission of radio signals. This date is celebrated as the Birth Day of Radio in Russia and other countries. Independently Guglielmo Marconi did the same and he was the first who used and developed the radio commercially.

South Orkney Islands DXpedition VP8O
The Microlite Penguins DXpedition team will be activating the South Orkney Islands VP8/O from January 27 to February 8, 2011. Safe and reliable Antarctic transportation has been secured by the experienced RV Braveheart, and activity will be on all HF bands 160-10 meters using SSB, CW and RTTY.
Operators will be K9ZO, ND2T, 9V1YC, K0IR, N1DG, N0AX, W3WL, N6MZ, I8NHJ, N4GRN, WB9Z, W7EW and VE3EJ. This will be the team's fourth time activating an entity in the Antarctic region and fifth DXpedition overall.
Those who have enjoyed our operations over the last 8 years, is said in a Press release, may recall that our methods and philosophy are somewhat different from other DXpeditions. Though our overall goal is still to provided a new DXCC entity on as many bands and modes as possible, we also strive to increase the fun factor by focusing on operational simplicity and radio skills.
