EA8TL(Canary Islands) on 20 CW!!

The Canary Islands (English /kəˈnɛəri ˈaɪləndz/; Spanish: Islas Canarias [ˈizlas kaˈnaɾjas, ˈihlah kaˈnaɾjas]), also known as the Canaries (Spanish: Canarias), is a Spanish archipelago located just off the northwest coast of mainland Africa, 100 km west of the border between Morocco and the Western Sahara. The Canaries is one of the 17 autonomous community and an outermost regionof the European Union. The islands include (from largest to smallest): Tenerife,Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro, La Graciosa, Alegranza, Isla de Lobos, Montaña Clara, Roque del Este andRoque del Oeste. It is located in front of the northwest coast of Africa.

The archipelago's beaches, climate and important natural attractions, especially Maspalomas in Gran Canaria and Teide National Park and MountTeide (the third tallest volcano in the world measured from its base on the ocean floor), make it a major tourist destination, with over 12 million visitors per year, especially Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote.^[7][8] The islands have asubtropical climate, with long warm summers and moderately warm winters.^[9]Due to their location above the temperature inversion layer, these islands are ideal for astronomical observation. For this reason, two professional observatories, Teide Observatory on the island of Tenerife and Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on the island of La Palma, have been built on the islands.

The capital for the Autonomous Community is shared by the cities of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria,^[10][11] which in turn are the capitals of the provinces of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Province of Las Palmas. Las Palmas has been the largest city in the Canaries since 1768, except for a brief period in 1910.^[12] Between the 1833 territorial division of Spain and 1927 Santa Cruz de Tenerife was the sole capital of the Canary Islands, until 1927 when a decree ordered that the capital of the Canary Islands be shared, as it remains at present.^[13][14] The third largest city of the Canary Islands is La Laguna (a World Heritage Site) on Tenerife.^[15][16][17]

During the times of the Spanish Empire the Canaries were the main stopover for Spanish galleons on their way to America because of the favorable easterly winds.^[18]

カナリア諸島（カナリアしょとう、スペイン語: Islas Canarias）は、アフリカ大陸の北西沿岸に近い大西洋上にある、7つの島からなるスペイン領の群島である。カナリアス諸島ともいう。

カナリア諸島は、ギリシャ神話に登場した黄金の林檎があるというヘスペリデス島のモデルだと考えられている。^[要出典]

最初はアラブ人やノルマン人、ポルトガル人などが領有していたが、15世紀末に、おそらく先住民であったベルベル系のグアンチェ族共々、カスティーリャ王国が征服している。

グアンチェはのちに家系の断絶や移住者の流入、および混血によるスペイン人への同化によって人数は減少した（とはいえ、現在のカナリア諸島の住民にも、グアンチェの血はかなり流れている）。その後カナリア諸島は、中南米へのスペインの進出活動における基地として重要な役割を果たすことになり、また同諸島の土地の貧しさから住民が数多くイスパノアメリカに移住した（特にキューバ、プエルトリコおよびベネズエラ）。

1960年代以降には保養地および観光地として発展を遂げることとなった。

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]
