DF0WD/DL4YHF's Longwave Overview details amateur radio operations on the 135.7 to 137.8 kHz segment in Germany. The author outlines the "inofficial" European band plan, specifying segments for QRSS, TX tests, beacons, conventional CW, and data modes. Early LF activities at DF0WD began with a 20-watt CW transmitter, later upgraded to a homemade linear transverter capable of 100 watts, driven by an Icom IC706 on 10.137 MHz. The station's antenna system includes a 200-meter wire, approximately 10 meters above ground, supported by football field light-masts. Despite its length, the antenna's efficiency is noted as very low due to the immense wavelength of about 2.2 km. The author's experience highlights the significant challenge of achieving effective radiated power (EIRP) on LF, estimating DF0WD's EIRP at around 80 milliwatts based on field strength measurements from PA0SE. DF0WD/DL4YHF has successfully worked numerous countries on 136 kHz CW, including DL, F, G, GI, GM, GU, GW, HB9, HB0, LX, OE, OH, OK, OM, ON, OZ, PA, and SM. The author also mentions ongoing efforts to log contacts with CT, EI, LA/LG, and to complete a two-way QSO with Italy, demonstrating persistent activity on this challenging band.

DecoDXLog is a station logbook application for Windows, designed to integrate seamlessly with the _Decodium_ family of software, as well as _WSJT-X_ and JTDX, by receiving QSOs via UDP. It operates around a local SQLite file, providing automatic callbook lookups from QRZ.com XML or HamQTH to complete log entries with name, QTH, and locator data. The software tracks 15 different awards, including DXCC, WAZ, WAS, WPX, IOTA, POTA, and SOTA, calculating progress in real-time and allowing confirmation via LoTW, paper cards, or eQSL. It also features comprehensive statistics, a world map displaying worked locators and cluster spots, and a built-in DX Cluster client that aggregates data from DX Spider/CC Cluster, Reverse Beacon Network, HamAlert, and POTA activations, providing alerts for new DXCC, band, or mode. The application includes a CW keyer/decoder, a contest mode with real-time scoring and Cabrillo export, and robust QSL management for LoTW, QRZ Logbook, eQSL, and Club Log. An optional DecoDXLog Cloud feature enables synchronization of QSOs, station profiles, and settings across multiple devices, ensuring a consistent operating environment. The software is open-source under the GPL-3.0 license, developed by IU8LMC and contributors, and supports lossless ADIF import/export, making it compatible with existing logs. It also integrates with _DecoRotor_ for antenna control, allowing operators to point their antenna directly from the logbook interface.

The RSGB provides a service for its members to exchange QSL cards at a fraction of the cost of sending them direct.

Details the history and cessation of the Amateur Radio Association of Bahrain (ARAB), operating under the callsign **A92C**. Established in 1970, ARAB functioned as the primary representative body for amateur radio enthusiasts within Bahrain for several decades. The organization facilitated various amateur radio activities and provided a central point of contact for local hams. The resource indicates that ARAB ceased operations due to unspecified circumstances. It explicitly states that the organization is no longer active, marking the end of its long-standing service to the Bahraini amateur radio community. Information regarding a newly formed society, open for membership, is provided, with contact details for Fawaz, **A92AA**, for further inquiries about the successor organization.

Clarifies the intricate process of calibrating the _Elecraft K2_ dial, addressing common user challenges and lively discussions on the Elecraft reflector. Wilhelm, W3FPR, dissects the K2's PLL synthesizer design, chosen for its low phase noise, kit-friendly duplication, and cost-effective components. The resource emphasizes the critical role of the 4000.000 kHz reference oscillator's accuracy during CAL PLL, CAL FIL, and CAL FCTR functions, noting its dependence on temperature and crystal stability for optimal performance. Explaining the K2's frequency display, the document reveals it relies on microprocessor-driven look-up tables generated by CAL PLL for VFO values and CAL FIL for BFO values. In SSB and RTTY, these combine, while CW and CWr modes also factor in the sidetone pitch. The author details inherent limitations, such as the 10 Hz increment resolution of the dial and varying PLL step sizes—from 3 Hz on 160 meters to 10 Hz on 10 meters. BFO increments range from 20 to 35 Hz, collectively limiting practical dial accuracy to within **20 Hz** with diligent effort, or **30 Hz** for a slightly less demanding task. The guide outlines a four-step calibration procedure: setting the reference oscillator, running CAL PLL, running CAL FIL, and setting all BFOs. It highlights the _N6KR Method_ as a particularly easy and accurate approach, requiring only the K2 and a known frequency source like WWV for zero-beating, eliminating the need for external test equipment.

The West Virginia State Amateur Radio Council (WVSARC) operates as a central coordinating entity for amateur radio interests throughout the state. Its primary function involves fostering cooperation among various local clubs and organizations, ensuring a unified voice for the amateur radio community within West Virginia. The council addresses matters pertinent to state-level amateur radio operations, including band plans, emergency communications preparedness, and regulatory issues affecting local hams. Historically, the WVSARC has played a role in organizing statewide events and providing a platform for information exchange among its member clubs. This structure helps to streamline efforts in areas such as public service events, disaster response drills, and the promotion of amateur radio to new licensees. The council's activities contribute to the overall health and growth of the hobby by facilitating communication and resource sharing across the diverse amateur radio landscape of West Virginia.
