INDEXA NEWS (Special Announcement, dated March 20th -- JH1AJT Amateur of
the Year). INDEXA is especially proud to have one of its members and
principal donors named as the 2020 Amateur of the Year by the Dayton
Hamvention. This honor was bestowed upon Yasu "Zorro" Miyazawa, JH1AJT,
for his charitable work in education and his humanitarianism.
 Zorro began his mission in 1984 and has since quietly established and led
multiple educational and humanitarian programs, especially focusing on dis-
advantaged children. Through his work he has built educational bridges of
hope stretching from kindergarten to post graduate programs and touched the
lives of children in multiple countries and cultures. Many of his missions
brought a taste of amateur radio and DXing to the lands he visited.
 Through his generous endowment, Zorro brought the INDEXA Humanitarian Aid
Fund, "Hams With Hearts", into existence, and linked DXing and DXpeditions
with service to humanity.
 Now DXpeditions visiting disadvantaged areas can use funds provided by
INDEXA and carry with them Zorro's high-reaching optimism and faith and his
ability to feel the needs of others and seek out solutions rather than
fixate on problems.
 Through INDEXA's Humanitarian Aid Fund "Hams With Hearts", DXpeditions
have helped schools, hospitals, villages and individuals by focusing on
high impact low cost projects. People are empowered to overcome their
adversities while respect and appreciation of amateur radio grows. Zorro,
JH1AJT, was the catalyst who made this possible.
 Congratulations, Zorro. Your generosity, humanity and humility are an
example for all of us.

VP8PJ SOUTH ORKNEY DXPEDITION NEWS (Update). Gene, K5GS (ZL1NA, VK2IXC),
reported on Tuesday, March 17th [edited]: "Thanks for the pileups! We
have all left Punta Arenas and are either home or another location of
choice.
 Several of us left Punta Arenas sooner than planned because of the
Coronavirus situation and possible airline chaos. Fortunately, of those
I've heard from, we had no problem buying a new ticket and getting to
our final destination. 
 On Sunday when Rob and I arrived at LAX the Immigration and Customs
area was empty, so no delays. All our flights were uneventful and on
time.
 After being away for 5 weeks we need to get our personal affairs in
order and will work on DX-pedition related tasks as time is available.
So please be patient, we have all have other life responsibilities.
 If you have a Not in Log or suspected busted call, Do 'not' send
e-mails, and please 'don't' send screenshots or log files unless requested.
Follow the Not in Log procedure: https://sorkney.com/qsl/
 Sending unsolicited e-mails slows the process, Tim works the Not in
Log queue in the order received, unsolicited e-mails waste our time and
will not be processed.
 I'll be posting some photographs on the website. We're disappointed
that the major conventions have been canceled, and hope that the worst
of Coronavisus comes to an end soon. We're still planning Friedrichshafen
in late June, maybe that one will happen.
 Last I talked with Tim he's making good progress with Not in Log issues,
and is regularly uploading LoTW, although I did see he had a computer
failure and acquired a new machine.
 We appreciate the kind words from the Group and in personal e-mails
from the community.
 Many of you have 'suggested' the next DX-pedition location, we've
already had those discussions before and during VP8PJ.
 73, GS K5GS"
 EDITOR NOTES: QSL VP8PJ via M0URX, direct or OQRS (direct and Bureau).
