[DXNL 1821 – February 27th, 2013]: Changes in the USKA QSL bureau: QSL cards for non-members of the Swiss IARU society USKA will no longer be returned with a “Not Member” stamp, but silently discarded, to save work and money. What a shame! This is known problem for many years: […]

On 2012, August 3, the ITU updated its Table of International Call Sign Series to reflect a call sign change for Niue Island. The island will now have the entire E6 prefix block. Niue, an island approximately 1700 miles northeast of New Zealand, is a self-governing island nation that has […]
The “new” country of Azawad was “born” per a signed accord between the Tuareg people of the MNLA (Movement for the Liberation of Azawad) and the jihadists of Ansar Dine. The political reasons leading to the founding of the two so diverse movements are still somewhat unclear, with the Tuareg […]

And here is another term, circulated by the operators of rare DX stations who reside in exotic locations and by those who spend time and money on DXpeditions and contest operations. It is "European behaviour", this term is used by our friends across the pond and assumes too much.

These operators firmly allege that in most every occasion the much-trumpeted amateur spirit of friendship and international co-operation is forgotten, when arises Hamlet's question, To work or not to work a new one?
For many years seamen and navigators have been referring to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) as “Z-time”. GMT has been noted as Greenwich Civil Time (GCT) and lately with the advent of a universal community as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
