DXCC NEWS ---> DXCC Manager Bill Moore, NC1L reports that VP6DIA (Ducie
Island, 8-13 March) has been approved for DXCC credit.
GB50 ---> The Cray Valley Radio Society (www.cvrs.org) has released a
professionally produced interactive CD ROM as a record of last year's very
successful GB50 (Golden Jubilee) special event station (www.gb50.com). The CD
costs USD 10, EUR 10 or GBP 6 (including postage and packing) and copies are
available by post from G3SXE (Paul Lethbridge, 24 Furze Road, High
Salvington, West Worthing, Sussex BN13 3BH, England). [TNX G3XTT]
NOT THE MANAGER ---> Natan, W6XR says he has received many requests for QSL
cards for C31XR, "which is a pirate operation. My call was given as the QSL
manager but I am not a QSL manager for anyone".
QSL 8Q7ZZ ---> Phil Whitchurch, G3SWH is pleased to announce that the 8Q7ZZ
QSL cards were delivered from the printers on 1 April. "Needless to say, I am
very embarrassed about the delay in sending out the cards", Phil says. "I
have not been responsible for the design or printing of them, as the
expedition operators wanted to do this themselves. I will get on with the job
as fast as I can now they are to hand, but please do NOT send second
applications, as they will not be answered. As you will imagine, there is
quite a large backlog of requests to answer, which will take many weeks (if
not months) to work through, so please have patience."
QSL C34SD ---> Please note that CT1AMK is the QSL manager only for C31SD.
Cards for C34SD (as well as for any other special C34 prefix) should be
routed via URA (Unio de Radioaficionats Andorrans). [TNX CT4NH]
QSL EM0U ---> This is callsign issued to the club station at the Ukrainian
State Center of Radio Frequencies (UCRF) and QSL cards should be routed via
UT3UZ (not UT3UW as mistyped in 425DXN #616) either direct or through the
bureau.
QSL LU1ZA ---> Rick, NE8Z has brought back from Argentina a few hundred LU1ZA
cards, which he will mail out in the next few days. Henry, LU4DXU is only the
manager for the most recent LU1ZA QSOs made by operators Jose Luis (who
returned to Buenos Aires three weeks ago) and now Anibal. Henry stopped by
SARA (LU2CN) and picked up all of the outstanding LU1ZA QSLs waiting to be
confirmed, He was able to find some of their old logs, but many of the old
logs from prior to the mid 1990's are not available. [TNX The Daily DX]
QSL UU2JQ ---> Rustam, UU2JQ reminds DXers that his former QSL manager (Andy,
KZ1L) has been a SK since 2001. QSLs should be sent to UU2JQ himself either
direct or through the bureau.
QSL MANAGER OFFERED --- Gianfranco Lai, IK8VRN is willing to volunteer his
services as a QSL manager. He can be contacted at either ik8vrn@mdxc.org or
P.O. Box 5, 80034 Marigliano - NA, Italy.
ST0RY ---> The team went QRT at 17.45 UTC on 31 March, earlier than expected.
The online log contains 49,153 QSOs, but one fragment (contacts made between
23.53 UTC on 30 March and 05.53 UTC on the 31st) is missing.
As for direct QSLs, please send only one card with all QSO information on it.
European stations can enclose 1 Euro or 1 Dollar, otherwise the German cost
of return airmail postage is $ 2. The QSL manager is DL5NAM (Chris Sauvageot,
Guttenburg 19, D-91322 Graefenberg, Germany); bureau cards can be requested
on-line (www.df3cb.com/st0ry). Individual donations would be greatly
appreciated to help defray the great cost of getting #18 on the 100 Most
Wanted List to a lot DXers. [TNX K4WLS]
