DXCC NEWS ---> TT8ZZ (24 September to 8 November 2002) has been approved for
DXCC credit. [TNX NC1L, DXCC Manager]
IOTA CONTEST ---> The results for the IOTA Contest 2002 are now available at
http://www.blacksheep.org/hfcc/results/IOTA-2002/IOTA%20Contest%202002.html
LCRA ---> Good news from Beto, HK3DDD, who reports that the Liga Colombiana
de Radioaficionados is still alive. During the meeting held on 1 March
[425DXN 517] they agreed not to dissolve the society, "so the bureau service
is active 100%". [TNX VE3EXY]
NIGER ---> Peter, VY0PW (ex VK8PW and VE8PW) has been trying for many months
to get a licence for his QTH in eastern Niger where he has been working since
early 2002. He has now received the official news that a licence for this
part of the country cannot be issued. This is due to serious concerns by the
government relating to the internal security in various parts of Niger. A HF
radio in private hands is considered too much of a risk. The present
licencing policy seems to restrict the issuing of new licences to the capital
Niamey or the immediate surroundings. [TNX DK8MZ]

active from Mauritius on 9-15 February, were unable to get their licence ("we

from Guadeloupe until 12 March, had to go QRT on 28 February due to the death
