6O7O SOMALIA DXPEDITION NEWS (Update). Ken, LA7GIA, reports [edited]: “I will QRV from Somalia Sept. 14th to Sept. 28th on all bands 160-10m mainly on CW. Activity on other modes (SSB, FT8) will be limited and on 1-2 bands only. This trip has proved to be very difficult to plan, but finally after 3 site visits all details are sorted out. I have all permits in hand – and look forward to returning to Somalia after 18 months. I will particularly focus on working NA this time, as well low bands. I have some good vertical low band antennas, and some good RX antennas. The RX antennas will hopefully be located far away from noise sources. There will be a guard protecting the beverages 24/7. Please follow my instructions when it comes to calling for geographical areas. Because there is a very short opening to NA on low bands, in particular western part of NA. If there is propagation I will only call for NA when we approach my sunrise. EU will have the best conditions and shall try to work me during their evening time on low bands. Please carefully note the QSO and QSL policy mentioned on my Web page. Free&fast LoTW is only for the good first class operators who can follow the QSO policy and DX code of conduct. I have some additional security related expenses like armored car, armed guards etc. If you would like to contribute to protecting the low band antennas from being stolen, cut or moved – make a donation to PayPal ([email protected]). Anyone who donates in advance before the DXpedition end will receive direct QSL and express LoTW! This time I would also like to offer you the possibility to donate to a humanitarian fundraiser for the Norwegian organization Sabona who helps children in Africa. Please use the same PayPal address but indicate your call and that it is meant as humanitarian donation. Please look for more info on my Web page (https://www.la7gia.com/where-next/).” ADDED REMINDER: QSL via M0OXO. Logs will be uploaded to ClubLog. Also, make sure you read Ken’s “QSO & QSL Policy” on his Web page.

7A, INDONESIA. A team of YB operators will be active as 7A2A from a contest station in Central Java during the CQWW DX SSB Contest (October 26-27th) as a Multi-? entry. QSL via LoTW. No othe details were provided.

C5, THE GAMBIA. Don, G3XTT, will once again be active as C56DF from The Gambia, but this time in CQWW DX CW Contest (November 23-24th). Look for operation before and maybe after the contest. Activity will be on various bands, probably all CW like last time using low power (IC-7300 and wires) from a rooftop apartment. He will, of course, upload logs to LoTW and ClubLog, but possibly only after his return to the UK. QSL direct to Don’s home callsign or via ClubLog’s OQRS.

D4, CAPE VERDE (Update/Satellite Op). Harald, DF2WO, will once again be active as D44TWO from Praia, Santiago Island (AF-005), between September 29th and October 13th. Activity will be holiday style on 160-10 meters using CW, SSB and the Digital modes. He states that he works mostly on the Digital modes (FT8, PSK31, JT65 and RTTY) and slow CW. It was reported this past week that “he has been working hard in the last few months getting his Satellite station working and is now confident he will use it from Cabo Verde. He will be using an Icom 7300, 2 Transverters with 3 watts output on ES-Hail using the QO-100 Geostationary Satellite.” He will also have a FT-450D into a homemade HEX BEAM and a dipole for 40 meters. QSL via M0OXO (OQRS available).

DXCC, VUCC, & ARRL CONTESTS (Now Prohibit Automated Contacts!). From the ARRL Web page: Following the direction of the ARRL Board of Directors, ARRL has incorporated changes to the rules for all ARRL-sponsored contests and DXCC, prohibiting automated contacts. These changes also apply to the Worked All States (including Triple Play and 5-Band WAS), VHF/UHF Century Club, and Fred Fish, W5FF, Memorial awards. The changes are effective immediately. A resolution at the July ARRL Board of Directors meeting pointed to “growing concern over fully automated contacts being made and claimed” for contest and DXCC credit. The rules now require that each claimed contact include contemporaneous direct initiation by the operator on both sides of the contact. Initiation of a contact may be either local or remote. See: http://www.arrl.org/news/view/arrl-contest-and-dxcc-rules-now-prohibit-automated-contacts Also see the ARRL Letter for August 22nd, 2019.

FK, NEW CALEDONIA. Jan, F6EYB, will once again be active as FK8CJ from Noumea, New Caledonia (OC-032), starting August 29th, until the end of the year. Activity will be on various HF bands (mainly 30/20/17 meters). QSL via F6EYB, LoTW or eQSL.

FT8 OPERATING SUGGESTIONS. Dean, 8P6SH/8P2K, has recently been very active on FT8 from St.Philip, and states, “Its been very interesting but also somewhat frustrating. I thought I would share a few thoughts on working DX from a DX perspective. After working quite a few stations on FT8 over the past couple months, I thought I would share a few thoughts on working DX on HF: 1. When you’re calling a DX station on HF is the grid that important? Many times it’s not a bad idea to go with “XX0DX W1ZZ 01” This is especially important when signal levels are low – -20db and below. The grid information is generally redundant and will be confirmed on LoTW anyway. In the typical ‘pile-up’ that I get on the band, I try to work the stations that send a signal report first as these QSOs are shorter.

2. Do not call a DX station on its transmit frequency. Often I have 4 or 5 DX stations all calling on the same frequency and then, even with perfect conditions I’m sending repeat after repeat and seemingly getting nowhere. Find a clear frequency and call.

3. Know when you can log the station. Many times I am working a station and I have gotten a “RRR” or “RR73” from the other station. I either send a CQ or work the next station, only to get the station who had sent a confirmation sending a grid or report to initiate a QSO. I believe this is because I have not sent a “73” message. Those of us who have worked other modes for years know that “73” is optional. Please log the station once you have sent a report, received a report and received some kind of confirmation. That final “73” is ok, but usually from a DX station working through a list of 6 stations it is very much optional.

4. Hope these pointers are taken in the spirit they are given – to help you get into the log quicker! THANKS.”

HPM CELEBRATION. Just reminder that the Hiram Percy Maxim Birthday Cele- bration gets under way on Saturday, August 31st, and wraps up on Monday, September 8th. The 9-day operating event commemorates the 150th anni- versary of the birth of ARRL co-founder and first president Hiram Percy Maxim, W1AW (HPM) — born on September 2, 1869 — and is open to all radio amateurs. The objective is to work as many participating stations as possible. W1AW and all ARRL members will append “/150” to their callsigns during this event (DX operators who are ARRL members may operate as <call- sign>/150, if permitted by their country of license). For more details, see: http://www.arrl.org/news/view/reminder-the-hiram-percy-maxim-birthday-celebration-begins-on-august-31

NCDXF PRESS RELEASE (NCDXF Issues grants to two upcoming DXpeditions). [Dated August 23rd, edited] — The Northern California DX Foundation (NCDXF) is pleased to announce grants issued to two Pacific DXpedition teams for Summer 2019.

1. The 2019 Western Kiribati (T30L) and Nauru (C21W) DXpeditions slated for September have been granted $5,000 from NCDXF. Team Leader Yuris, YL2GM, has assembled another high-energy team to activate these two islands in an exciting back-to-back operation in September. One of the operators is Kristers, YL3JA, a 21-year old first-timer and future WRTC 2022 hopeful.

2. The upcoming ZK3A DXpedition slated for October 2019 has been issued a $4,000 from NCDXF using a new grant matching program. To encourage more European club participation in early funding raising efforts for DXpedition teams, NCDXF pledged $2,000 up-front to the ZK3A DXpedition team and also offered to “match” up to an additional $2,000 in pre-trip funded grants obtained from any EU DX Clubs or Foundations. We are happy to report that this new grant-matching plan worked well as the ZK3A team has received an additional $2,000 from European Clubs and Foundations in vital up-front funding.

During the last 46 years, NCDXF has granted over $1 million to hundreds of DXpeditions – helping to put an “all-time-new-one” (ATNO) in the log and make DX happen for thousands of DXers worldwide. DXpeditions to rare entities are becoming more expensive, a trend that will continue. If you agree with the importance of NCDXF’s work, please visit our website at NCDXF.ORG to study our history and to consider providing your support.

Best regards, Ned Stearns, AA7A — NCDXF Vice President NCDXF Web Page at: https://www.ncdxf.org

Severe damage was suffered by resi- dential, administration buildings as well as to the school and fish pro- cessing factory. Thankfully nobody was injured, but life on the island has been severely affected and work is in progress to repair the build- ings. Materials for this task are on their way from South Africa on the MV Edinburgh, the same boat that took me to the island last year for my ZD9CW operation, a rough journey of seven days. Perhaps DXers would con- sider making a donation to help with the daunting task of restoring Tristan to some sort of normality.” For more details and on how you can help, see: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/tristanemergencyfund

Longtime New Yorkers Joanne and Vince Intrieri left their 3,100-square-foot three-bedroom near the United Nations this year, trading it in for a sunny three-bedroom condominium in downtown Miami.

Joanne Intrieri, who has a construction and design firm that she is moving to Miami, and Vince Intrieri, who owns VDA Capital Management, were not ready to retire.

But they decided to move to the Florida coast to escape exorbitant taxes that they knew would be exacerbated by the Trump administration’s new tax law.

“My husband and I have been in New York City for more than 20 years, but we aren’t tied to an office anymore and our kids are older,” said Joanne Intrieri, 59. “Between the state and city taxes, plus about $50,000 in property taxes, it is a lot of money going out the door. Why do it?”

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, as the legislation is known, was passed last year and will be applied to 2018 returns, which are due in April 2019. The law limits the deductions taxpayers can take on property taxes and state and local taxes (known as SALT deductions) up to $10,000 — a cap that many New Yorkers easily exceed. For the highest earners, New York state’s income tax rate is 8.82 percent and New York City’s rate is 3.876 percent. Nearly half of Manhattan’s taxpayers have taken SALT deductions in the past, and the average deduction has been over $60,000 a year.

The new legislation also limits the deductions taxpayers can claim on interest for mortgages up to $750,000, down from the previous $1 million limit. Mortgages often surpass this cap in Manhattan, where the average sales price for a co-op or condominium was $2.09 million in the second quarter of this year, according to Douglas Elliman.

All told, more than 8 percent of New York state residents will face higher taxes for 2018, according to an analysis by the Tax Policy Center. For those with income in the top 1 percent, a much larger number — 29 percent — will see their income taxes rise.

The specter of higher taxes has prompted some New Yorkers, like the Intrieris, to seek relief by moving to lower-tax states, while others have deliberately sought out buildings with tax abatements to reduce their costs. Accountants say others are exploring different ways to minimize their tax bills, like converting part of a home into a business with a home office or through Airbnb for a tax deduction.

In anticipation of higher tax bills, the Intrieris and others have relocated to states like Florida, which has no income tax and low property taxes. “I work with a lot of clients in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey — so all high-tax states — and we are seeing a lot of them move south, especially to Florida,” said Robert Westley, a New York City-based certified public accountant. “With almost all of our clients it comes up, and I would say about half of them are really looking into it.”

An added incentive for moving is the fact that the new legislation preserved a tax break that allows married homeowners who sell their primary residence to shield up to $500,000 of their capital gains from the property, Westley said.

Shahab Karmaly, the founder of KAR Properties, a real estate development and investment firm, lives in Manhattan but has been taking steps to relocate his family and business to Miami. “If I didn’t have the added complexity of kids, then I would already be down there,” said Karmaly, who has been touring schools for his children in Miami.

Indeed, the Florida housing market has seen a bump since the tax law was enacted. In Naples, for example, sales of single-family homes priced at $2 million and above rose 25 percent in the second quarter of 2018, compared with the second quarter of last year, according to the Naples Area Board of Realtors. Pending sales of such homes in Naples are up 22 percent, while pending sales of similarly priced condominiums have risen 32 percent.

“Causality is difficult to quantify, but taxes are certainly playing a role,” said Niklas Ahola, a real estate adviser at Compass in Naples. “I have about 10 clients, including three from New York, who are fleeing high-tax states.”

At the same time, the housing market in New York has slowed this year, and real estate analysts believe that is also in part because of the tax changes. Home sales in Manhattan declined 16.6 percent in the second quarter of this year compared with the same period last year, according to Douglas Elliman. In Westchester, sales dropped 17.7 percent; in the Hamptons, they fell 12.8 percent.

“People have pressed the pause button and are waiting before they buy,” said Jonathan Miller, president of the appraisal firm Miller Samuel, which conducted the research.

In Brooklyn, housing sales also decreased in the second quarter, but at a more modest 5.7 percent. This may be in part because home values in the borough are lower, making property taxes lower and dampening the impact of the tax law.

While the new legislation largely benefits the wealthy and corporations, it hasn’t translated into a boon for high-end real estate in New York, Miller said. “When this was first announced, people said it would have no impact because they were going to get more money back on taxes,” he said. “But people don’t buy individual assets based on a basket of assets. It isn’t like people say, ‘I will pay more for my house because I got money back from taxes.’ It just doesn’t work that way.”

Some prospective buyers have focused their searches on buildings with tax abatements to limit their tax costs. Buyers at 550 Vanderbilt, a new development in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, for example, benefit from a 25-year tax abatement. Owners of studios at the building pay as little as $18 a month in property taxes, compared to $563 a month without the abatement.

“It was a huge factor in our decision to buy here,” said Rebecca Miller, 33, who purchased a two-bedroom at 550 Vanderbilt with her husband, Adam Tau. “We got our recent tax bill, and it worked out to be about $42 a month. It would have been closer to $1,500 a month without the abatement,” she said.

Ryan Serhant, the associate broker with Nest Seekers International who is handling sales at 550 Vanderbilt, said that since the tax changes were implemented, “we have seen a massive uptick in people coming from Manhattan. Before the tax law passed, people paid attention to real estate taxes, but if it was a little more, they just wrote it off. Now you can’t do that.”

While it is clear the tax changes are having an impact on the real estate market, it is too early to know the full extent of the repercussions, said Adam Kamins, a senior regional economist at Moody’s Analytics. In New York, while there has been a slowdown, “the adjustment will take some time, both to show up in house prices and to be fully internalized by buyers and sellers,” he said. “In fact, it may not truly happen for many until they file their tax returns next spring.”

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants said its accountants are exploring new ways to keep their clients’ tax bills down. One strategy would be to claim part of a home as a business expense. If a taxpayer has a home office, for example, or a room leased to a tenant or through Airbnb, it can be counted as a business expense and deducted, over and above the $10,000 cap on tax deductions.

“The rules are a little complicated, but if you qualify, and let’s say you have a home office that takes up 15 percent of the square footage of your home, you could take 15 percent off your property taxes and deduct it,” Westley said.
