Cambodia (i/kæmˈboʊdiə/;[6] Khmer: ព្រះរាជាណាចក្រកម្ពុជា, Kampuchea, IPA: [kɑmˈpuˈciə]), officially known as the Kingdom of Cambodia, is a country located in the southern portion of the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. With a total landmass of 181,035 square kilometres (69,898 sq mi), it is bordered by Thailand to the northwest, Laos to the northeast, Vietnam to the east, and the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest.

With a population of over 14.8 million, Cambodia is the 68th most populous country in the world. The official religion is Theravada Buddhism, which is practiced by approximately 95% of the Cambodian population. The country's minority groups include Vietnamese, Chinese, Chams and 30 hill tribes.[7] The capital and largest city is Phnom Penh, the political, economic, and cultural center of Cambodia. The kingdom is a constitutional monarchy with Norodom Sihamoni, a monarch chosen by the Royal Throne Council, as head of state. The head of government is Hun Sen, who is currently the longest serving leader in South East Asia and has ruled Cambodia for over 25 years.

In 802 AD, Jayavarman II declared himself king marking the beginning of the Khmer Empire which flourished for over 600 years and allowing successive kings to dominate much of Southeast Asia and accumulate immense power and wealth. The Indianized kingdom built monumental temples such as Angkor Wat and facilitated the spread of first Hinduism, then Buddhism to much of Southeast Asia. After the fall of Angkor to Ayutthaya in the 15th century, Cambodia was ruled as a vassal between its neighbors until it was colonized by the French in the mid-19th century. Cambodia gained independence in 1953.

The Vietnam War extended into Cambodia, giving rise to the Khmer Rouge, which took Phnom Penh in 1975. Cambodia reemerged several years later within a socialistic sphere of influence as the People's Republic of Kampuchea until 1993. After years of isolation, the war-ravaged nation was reunited under the monarchy in 1993 and has seen rapid progress in the economic and human resource areas while rebuilding from decades of civil war. Cambodia has had one of the best economic records in Asia, with economic growth averaging 6 percent for the last 10 years. Strong textiles, agriculture, construction, garments, and tourism sectors led to foreign investments and international trade.[8] In 2005, oil and natural gas deposits were found beneath Cambodia's territorial waters, and once commercial extraction begins in 2013, the oil revenues could profoundly affect Cambodia's economy.[9]

VY2/WC3O(PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND) on 20m CW!!!

Prince Edward Island (PEI or P.E.I.; French: Île-du-Prince-Édouard, pronounced: [il dy pʁɛ̃s edwaːʁ], Mi'kmaq: Epekwitk, Scottish Gaelic: Eilean a' Phrionnsa) is a Canadian province consisting of an island of the same name, as well as other islands. The maritime province is the smallest in the nation in both land area and population. The island has a few other names: "Garden of the Gulf" referring to the pastoral scenery and lush agricultural lands throughout the province; and "Birthplace of Confederation", referring to the Charlottetown Conference in 1864, although PEI did not join the confederation until 1873, when it became the seventh Canadian province.

According to the 2011 census, the province of Prince Edward Island has 140,204 residents. It is located approximately 200 km north of Halifax, Nova Scotia and 600 km east of Quebec City. It consists of the main island plus 231 minor islands.[4] Altogether, the entire province has a land area of 5,685.73 km2 (2,195.27 sq mi).[2]

The main island is 5,620 km2 (2,170 sq mi) in size,[4] and is the 104th-largest island in the world, and Canada's 23rd-largest island

プリンス・エドワード・アイランド州（英: Prince Edward Island, PEI、仏: l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard, Î.-P.-É.）は、カナダの州の1つ。カナダの州の中では面積、人口共にもっとも小さい。
州はセントローレンス湾のプリンスエドワード島で構成され、同様にカナダ沿海州であるニューブランズウィック州とはノーサンバーランド海峡で隔てられる。ただし、この海峡には1997年にコンフェデレーション橋（Confederation Bridge）が架けられ、プリンスエドワード島のボーデン＝カールトン（Borden-Carleton）とニューブランズウィック州のケープ・ジューリマン(Cape Jourimain)とを結んでいる。 州都は島の南岸の中央部に位置する同州最大の都市、シャーロットタウンである。

VP8LP(Falkland Islands) on 20m SSB!!!

The Falkland Islands (English pronunciation: /ˈfɒlklənd/ or /ˈfɔːlklənd/; Spanish: Islas Malvinas) are an archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean, located more than 250 nautical miles(460 kilometres; 290 miles) east of the coast of mainland South America. The archipelago which has an area of 4,700 square miles (12,173 km²) comprises East Falkland, West Falkland, and 776 smaller islands. Stanley, the capital and only city, is on East Falkland. The islands are a self-governing British Overseas Territory, with the United Kingdom guaranteeing good government and taking responsiblity for their defence and foreign affairs.

Controversy exists over the Falklands' original discovery and subsequent colonisation by Europeans. At various times there have been French, British, Spanish, and Argentine settlements. Britain re-established its rule in 1833, yet the islands continue to be claimed byArgentina. In 1982, following Argentina's invasion of the islands, the two-month-long undeclaredFalklands War between both countries resulted in the surrender of all Argentine forces. Despite its defeat, Argentina still pursues its claim; however, UK policy supports the islanders' self-determination to remain British citizens.

The population, estimated at 3,140, primarily consists of Falkland Islanders, the majority of British descent. Other ethnicities include French, Gibraltarian, and Scandinavian. Immigration from the United Kingdom, Saint Helena, and Chile has reversed a former population decline. The predominant and official language is English. Under the British Nationality Act of 1983, Falkland Islanders are British citizens.

The islands lie on the boundary of the Subarctic maritime climate and Temperate maritime climate zones with both major islands having mountain ranges reaching to 700 metres (2,300 ft). The islands are home to large bird populations, although many no longer breed on the main islands due to introduced species. Major economic activities include fishing, tourism, sheep farming with an emphasis on high-quality wool exports, and oil exploration. Oil exploration, licensed by the Falkland Islands Government, remains controversial as a result of maritime disputes with Argentina.

Please Note: VP8LP does not respond to people who call using only their suffix.
Good operating tip would be to give your full callsign once, then listen 4-5 seconds to see if I have heard you or am replying to someone else before you make a second call.
I consider stations who call - call - call repeatedly without pausing to listen to be QRMers

Please note I do not upload logs electronically.  The reason for this is because requests were coming in for uploads to too many different QSL systems, for example LOTW, EQSL, QRZ, Clublog and so on.  There is always a huge amount of email requests associated with log uploads and my hobby is amateur radio, not email, so I have decided I will not upload to any systems to avoid this increasing problem.

I have also recently had a number of Bureau cards returned undelivered, which is a waste of cards and effort, so unfortunately I have to say I will no longer respond to cards sent via the Bureau - direct cards with SAE only please.

I do apologise having come to this decision.

3D2C(Conway Reef) on 40m CW!!!

3D2C - Conway Reef 2012
September 24th 2012 till October 5th 2012

Our team continues its activities in Central and Southern Pacific. For 2012 We booked the beautiful island of the Pacific, we wanted to activate the last year, but we preferred the island of Rotuma with 3D2R CALL. Now our team unanimously decided that the Conway Reef is our next point.
We already have CALL: 3D2C.

Conway Reef, known since 1976 by its Fijian name Ceva-I-Ra or Theva-i-RaReef, (pronounced [ˈðeβaiˈra]), is a coral reef of atoll type 450 km southwest of theFiji Islands, but part of the Republic of Fiji. It is located at21°44′18″S 174°38′24″E.^[1] It is 2.5 km long in an east-west direction. On the middle of the reef is a small sand cay, 1.8 meters high and about 320 meters long and 73 meters wide, with a land area of two hectares. A stranded wreck of a coaster lies 240 meters south of the center of the cay, and the wreck of a fishing vessel lies on the northeast end of the reef.^[2] The reef is uninhabited apart from a number of birds which appear to have almost no fear of humans. Administratively, the reef it is part of Western Division, Fiji, and of Nadroga-Navosa province.

In 1838 the Royal Navy Captain Drinkwater Bethune of HMS Conway first came across the reef and recorded it, however it was first mapped by the British several years later by Captain Denham of HMS Herald. Three shipwrecks (1979, 1981 and 2008) have occurred on the reef. The most recent being a Chinese fishing vessel (Shin Sheng No.165)

It was reported in 1983 that there was some vegetation on the cay, but it was bare by 1985. The cay currently has some vegetation about 3m high.

While there are no other gaps larger than 75 km between Fiji islands (except Rotuma Island, which is politically but not geographically part of Fiji), Conway Reef lies 450 km to the southwest of the main Fiji complex. The closest land to Conway Reef lies 275 km WSW (Hunter Island in the French territory of New Caledonia). Hunter Island is also claimed by Vanuatu.

Access to the island should only be attempted at high tide in a shallow draft tender. Extreme care must be taken to navigate the coral heads.

Diving or snorkeling on the reef is the rare experience of an untouched underwater environment. The island counts as a separate entity forDXCC credit in amateur radio, and several Dxpeditions have visited it. The next one is planned for September, 2012.^[3]

South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa, is a country located at the southern tip of Africa. It is divided into nine provinces and has 2,798 kilometres (1,739 mi) of coastline.^[9][10][11] To the north of the country lie the neighbouring territories of Namibia,Botswana and Zimbabwe; to the east are Mozambique and Swaziland; while Lesotho is anenclave surrounded by South African territory.^[12]

South Africa is a multi-ethnic nation and has diverse cultures and languages. Eleven official languages are recognised in the constitution.^[11] Two of these languages are of European origin: South African English and Afrikaans, a language which originated mainly from Dutchthat is spoken by the majority of white and Coloured South Africans. Though English is commonly used in public and commercial life, it is only the fifth most-spoken home language.^[11] All ethnic and language groups have political representation in the country'sconstitutional democracy comprising a parliamentary republic; unlike most parliamentary republics, the positions of head of state and head of government are merged in a parliament-dependent President.

About 79.5% of the South African population is of black African ancestry,^[4] divided among a variety of ethnic groups speaking different Bantu languages, nine of which have official status.^[11] South Africa also contains the largest communities of European, Asian, and racially mixed ancestry in Africa.

South Africa is ranked as an upper-middle income economy by the World Bank.^[13] It has the largest economy in Africa, and the 28th-largest in the world.^[14] About a quarter of the population is unemployed^[15] and lives on less than US $1.25 a day.^[16]

RI1FJ(Franz Josef Land)  on 20m CW !!

Franz Josef Land, Franz Joseph Land, or Francis Joseph's Land (Russian: Земля Франца-Иосифа, Zemlya Frantsa-Iosifa) is an archipelago located in the far north of Russia. It is found in the Arctic Ocean north of Novaya Zemlya and east of Svalbard, and is administered by Arkhangelsk Oblast. Franz Josef Land consists of 191 ice-covered islands with a total area of 16,134 km² (6,229 sq mi). It has no native inhabitants, but several settlements have been built by Russian settlers. They rely solely on walrus and seal meat.

At latitudes between 80.0° and 81.9° north, it is the most northerly group of islands associated with Eurasia. The extreme northernmost point is Cape Fligely on Rudolf Island. The archipelago is only 900 to 1,110 km (560 to 690 miles) from the North Pole, and the northernmost islands are closer to the Pole than any other land except for Canada's Ellesmere Island and Greenland.

The archipelago was possibly first discovered by the Norwegian sealers Nils Fredrik Rønnbeck and Aidijärvi aboard the schooner Spidsbergen in 1865 who, according to scarce reports, sailed eastward from Svalbard until they reached a new land, denoted Nordøst-Spitsbergen (Spitsbergen was the contemporary name of Svalbard). It is not known if they went ashore, and the new islands were soon forgotten.

The officially recognized discovery took place in 1873 by the Austro-Hungarian North Pole Expedition led by polar explorers Julius von Payer and Karl Weyprecht. They named the archipelago in honour of the Austro-Hungarian emperor Franz Joseph I. Since the expedition was privately sponsored and not official, these islands have not been part of Austria.

In 1926 the islands were taken over by the Soviet Union, and a few people were settled for research and military purposes. Access by ships is possible only for a few summer weeks and a special permit is required to visit the islands.

フランツ・ヨーゼフ諸島(ふらんつよーぜふしょとう、Zemlya Frantsa-Iosifaゼムリャ・フランツァ＝ヨシファ、ロシア語ではЗемля Франца-Иосифаズィムリャー・フラーンツァ・ヨースィファ)は、北極海の一部であるバレンツ海に位置するロシア連邦領の約190の島から構成されている島嶼群である。

スピッツベルゲン島の東に位置しアルハンゲリスク州に属している。アレクサンドラ島、ゲオルグ島、ブリュサ島、グケラ島、ノルトブルク島、ビリチェク島、グレエムベル島、ヘイス島などの島で構成されている。北緯80.0度から81.9度の範囲にあり、ユーラシア大陸で最も北にあるグループである。最北端はルドルフ島のフリゲリ岬(mys Fligeli)で、北緯81度52分。この群島は北極点からわずかに900から1100キロメートルにあり、カナダのエルズミーア島とグリーンランドに次いで近い。総面積は1万6100km²で最高点はヴィナーネイシュタット島(Zemlya Viner-Neyshtadt)にある標高620mの雪原。大きな島は東部にあるビリチェク島（2000km²）、西部にあるゲオルグ島（2741km²）など。大部分は無人である。かつて巨大な玄武岩台地の島が形成されたが、侵食されて多数の島になったと考えられる。島々の標高も350－500m程度でそろっている。表面は、総面積の85％までが氷河^[1]や雪原で、そのほかも裸地が多い。1865年、ロシアの研究者のシリングが探検し、1873年にカール・ヴァイプレヒトによるオーストリア・ハンガリー帝国調査隊の探検があり、皇帝フランツ・ヨーゼフ1世を記念して諸島名とした（名称は、ロシア語で「フランツ・ヨーゼフの土地」という意味である）。

1926年にこの群島はソビエト連邦に吸収され、研究と軍事目的で少数の人間が移住した。船でのアクセスは夏の数週間に限られ、また特別の許可が必要である。

The U.S. Virgin Islands are in the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, about 40 miles (64 km) east of Puerto Rico and immediately west of theBritish Virgin Islands. The territory consists of four main islands: Saint Thomas, Saint John, Saint Croix, and Water Island, as well as several dozen smaller islands. The main islands have nicknames often used by locals: "Twin City" (St. Croix), "Rock City" (St. Thomas) and "Love City" (St. John).^[9] The combined land area of the islands is roughly twice the size of Washington, D.C.

The U.S. Virgin Islands are known for their white sand beaches, includingMagens Bay and Trunk Bay, and strategic harbors, including Charlotte Amalieand Christiansted. Most of the islands, including Saint Thomas, are volcanic in origin and hilly. The highest point is Crown Mountain, Saint Thomas (1,555 ft/474 m).

Saint Croix, the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands, lies to the south and has a flatter terrain. The National Park Service owns more than half of Saint John, nearly all of Hassel Island, and many acres of coral reef. (See also Virgin Islands National Park, Virgin Islands Coral Reef National Monument, Buck Island Reef National Monument, Christiansted National Historic Site, and Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve.)

The U.S. Virgin Islands lie on the boundary of the North American plate and the Caribbean Plate. Natural hazards include earthquakes and tropical cyclones (including hurricanes).
