IAW 2018 --- > The 5th International Air Ambulance Week will take place on
8-16 September. The event is primarily intended to help support and
generate donations for flying medical services around the world. See
http://www.radio-amateur-events.org/IAW/index.htm for complete information.

IOTA: PROPOSED ADDITIONS TO THE LIST OF VALID ISLAND GROUPS ---> On 31
August the following announcement was published on the IOTA website
(https://iota-world.org/): "IOTA Programme Structure A.4.2 in the 2018
Directory provides for a review of the list of valid island groups to take
place every five years. The last such occasion took place in June 2014 with
the announcement made at the 50th anniversary celebration of IOTA's launch
the following month. It resulted in 11 new groups being added.
This time IOTA Management has decided to bring forward the review to give a
chance for any new groups announced to be activated in 2019, the target
year. The review process is scheduled to start with an announcement of some
additions at this year's RSGB Convention and may possibly finish with a
top-up at next year's Friedrichshafen Ham Radio event.
Any new groups will be very few in number, probably between 5 and 10. It
should be noted that only proposals that meet the programme criteria at
Sections B and C of the IOTA Programme Structure chapter (2018 Directory)
will be considered and, as guidance, it is unlikely that any additions will
be made to the Europe list because it is already generously covered.
Proposals for consideration should be sent to G3KMA (g3kma[@]dsl.pipex.com)
by 1 October with a short justification (one paragraph please) in terms of
the programme criteria". [TNX G3KMA]

RI0B ---> The "Apostol Andrey" departed from Arkhangelsk around 6 UTC on 27
August. The voyage to Dikson Island, where the rest of the team will join
the expedition, will take sbout eight days. Along all the way the RI0B team
will be operating as RT9K/mm from the yacht. Read the DXpedition's diary on
http://legendsarctic.com/dnevnik_ekspedicii_ri0b.

WRTC 2018 ACTIVITY PROGRAMME ---> Five awards were available for contacts
made with the 63 Y8 stations in the World Radiosport Team Championship (14-
15 July). The results can be found on - and the certificates can be
downloaded from - the WRTC 2018 website (http://www.wrtc2018.de) under the
menu item "Activities".
