RDA ---> The  Russian Districts Award (RDA) Programme Committee  "has made a
decision to completely switch to automatic issuance of RDA diplomas starting
from January 1, 2021.  For that, all the participants' data will be  accumu-
lated  on the  RDA Auto Credit Server (https://mydx.eu)".  It is possible to
upload scans of QSL cards, as "this is the most convenient way  to get those
RDAs confirmed for which we haven't been able to get electronic log, but you
have a QSL in the bottom of your drawer": detailed instructions can be found
on http://rdaward.org/press19_eng.htm.

kit building workshops,  walk through  the exhibit hall,  watch  new product
demos and interact directly  with booth staff.  The QSO Today Ham Expo  will
run for 48 hours as a live event, then it will be available on-demand  until
12 April.  See https://www.qsotodayhamexpo.com/  for registration and  other
information.
