CN2PM & S07PM ---> Peter McKay, G3WQU is now QRT as CN2PM and S07PM. He will
be moving to East Timor (4W) at the end of March. Peter will put the new
address for QSLs to his previous calls in qrz.com [TNX G3WQU]
DXCC NEWS ---> The following operations have recently been approved for DXCC
credit: VK0MQI, Macquairie Island (1 January 2002 - 15 March 2003) and 3C2MV,
Equatorial Guinea (11 November - 12 December 2002). [TNX Bill Moore, NC1L,
DXCC Branch Manager]
GMDX CONVENTION ---> The GM DX Group's 6th annual Convention & Dinner will
take place on 26 April at the King Robert Hotel, Whins of Milton, Stirling,
Scotland. More details can be found at http://www.gmdx.org.uk [TNX GM3YTS]
LCRA TO BE DISSOLVED ---> "My old friend HK3DDD has just informed me that
postal rates in Colombia were doubled as of January 1, 2003 and it now costs
the equivalent of US$2.00 to send a letter from Colombia to the USA", Fred,
K3ZO reports. "It now costs HJ/HK hams the equivalent of 13 cents per QSL to
send outgoing cards through the bureau, but anyway the bureau won't be
available any longer because the Colombian IARU-member society LCRA is
meeting this Saturday to dissolve itself, since with only 200 paid-up members
and US$8000 of debt it feels it can no longer stay in business. Beto says
Colombian hams have stopped calling CQ and running stations because they
can't afford to handle the consequences economically. Colombian DXers are
simply searching and pouncing these days, looking for new countries for
themselves".
NOT THE MANAGER ---> Yves, F6CYV says he is not the QSL manager for XE1FT.
PSK ON 160 ---> "Probably the first PSK QSO on 160 metres between Europe and
Oceania was made between VK6HD (transmitting on 1810) and DL8LE (transmitting
on 1838.7) on 27 February at 21.40 UTC. Both signals were copied with
excellent R5 on both ends. The following attempt in RTTY was successful as
well, but gave R3 and R4 only". [TNX DL8LE]
QSL 3C2MV ---> Vitaly, VE6JO reports that the QSL cards for his recent
activity from Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea are expected from the printer
around mid March. He will proceed with mailing as soon as he gets them, as
from late March until early May he will not be at home.
QSL FK8KAB ---> Please note that Robert, FK8AH is not the QSL manager for
FK8KAB. Direct cards should be sent to Association des Radio-Amateurs de
Nouvelle Caledonie, P.O. Box 3956, F-98846 Noumea. [TNX DJ5AV]
QSL FW8FP ---> Cards have arrived from the printer and Bill, VK4FW will
process and post cards daily until finished. "Direct cards sent with no
return or insufficent postage will not be answered", Bill says, "as I don't
have any access to the buro system". QSL direct direct only to Bill Horner,
P.O. Box 1343, Maroochydore, 4558, Australia.
QSL TA4/DL2OBO ---> Tom, DL2OBO reports that the QSL cards should be ready in
a couple of weeks' time. Between 26 January and 2 February he made some 1000
CW QSOs and enjoyed "really big pileups".
QSL TX0DX ---> Alessio, IZ0CKJ reports that the QSL cards for the October
2002 operation from the Chesterfields are not ready. Please be patient and do
not send second requests.
QSL ZL7C ---> All QSL requests for the October 2002 ZL7C operation from the
Chatham Islands which were received as of 26 February (some 5100 envelopes
for 19,200 QSOs) were mailed on 28 February taking advantage of New Zealand
Post's International Economy rate (allow 3-5 weeks for delivery and refrain
from sending second requests until after 1 May). Please note that this does
not include cards received via QSL Services and the like (these will be
mailed out at a later date when time permits) or ZL7C requests sent along
with cards for other DXpeditions. Direct cards without sufficient postage or
SAE will be answered via the bureau. [TNX ZL4HU]
QSL MANAGER OFFERED ---> Guy Spriet, ON4LCT is willing to act as a QSL
Manager for one or more stations. You can contact him at gspriet@skynet.be
QSL VIA VE3DZ ---> Yuri Onipko, VE3DZ (QSL manager for 8P4A, 8P9AL, 8P9AM,
VE2IM, ZF1DZ, 6W1/N2WCQ and others) reports that his local post office
"refuses to cover old IRCs (older than 2000) at existing air mail price. So
effective immediately all cards accompanied with only one old style IRC dated
1999 and earlier (or improperly stamped) will be answered via the bureau".
SEANET CONTEST ---> This year the SEANET 2003 Contest will take place from 12
UTC on 16 August through 12 UTC on the 17th. The contest is associated with
the 31st Annual SEANET Convention to be held in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, on
27-30 November. For further information please visit
