160 METRES ---> Bernie McClenny, W3UR, editor of The Daily DX, wants Topband
operators outside North America to be reminded to stay clear of 1820 and 1830
if they wish to be heard in North America. These two frequencies have
harmonics that make it almost impossible to copy weak signal DX. DX stations
can listen on 1820 and 1830, if it is clear, but please do not transmit
there.
9L1AB ---> Andy, G3AB arrived back home on 6 December, after a 26-day
activity (single operator) from Freetown, Sierra Leone as 9L1AB. 40362 QSOs
were logged on CW, SSB and RTTY on all bands 6-160m, with 959 QSOs on 6m and
1265 QSOs on 160m. Only dipole and inverted L antennas were used. A full
report with statistics and photos will appear on the website soon
(http://www.g3ab.net/9l1ab.htm). Direct QSL cards are already being mailed
out.
CCF MEETING ---> The 8th Contest Club of Finland's Contest/DX Meeting will be
held in Vantaa (Helsinki) on 17-19 January 2003. For further information and
pre-registration please contact Ari, OH5DX (oh5dx@sral.fi). The CCF web site
is at www.qsl.net/ccf
JARL BUREAU ---> Joe, JJ1BDX/3 reports that effective 7 July 2003 the JARL
QSL Bureau will charge JARL members an annual fee of JPY 3600 (approx. USD 28
to 30) for handling *each and all* non-JA callsigns. This includes not only
foreign stations with JA QSL managers, but also JA callsigns with foreign
prefixes (e.g. KH2/JJ1BDX).
KB8NW ---> Our best wishes for a prompt recovery to Tedd Mirgliotta, KB8NW,
editor fo the Ohio/Penn DX Bulletin, who underwent heart bypass surgery on 7
December. [TNX K8AV]
QSL 5N0W ---> David Klimosz, OK1RK (ex 5N0/OK1AUT, 5N0ZKD and 5N0W) says the
call 5N0W was issued to him back in 1999. He left Nigeria on 30 June 2000 and
can confirm contacts made before that date only.
QSL HH2PK ---> Kim Larson - Steve's (N3SL) daughter - has been the QSL
manager for Pat, HH2PK for about six months [425DXN 572]. One month ago,
nearly 7 kg (14 pounds) of QSLs were received from the bureau, going back as
much as ten years. On 2 Decemeber over 1000 QSLs were mailed to the ARRL
bureau, answering all of the QSOs Kim was able to confirm from Pat's logs.
Pat has not been active since January 1998 and has moved from Haiti to
Canada. Kim has Pat's logs from April 1989 to 29 Nov 1997 (the December 1997
and January 1998 logs were corrupted and cannot be recovered). On-line log
checking is available at http://www.qsl.net/n3sl/manager.htm [TNX N3SL]

Austral Islands have been processed and mailed.

expense to return them to the sender".

QSO) from Ghis, who apologizes for the delay. "Last year I was confronted

much for your patience and understanding".
