INFO

3C1DX EA6BH had to postpone his activity for one week due to flight pro- blems. He plans to take part in the WWDX SSB. QSL via homecall.

5X1P is the actual call of Joe (9Q5MRC, G3MRC). QSL via G3MRC.

A45ZZ OP Tony who was very active on the lowbands returned home. All QSLs will be answered via his homecall G3LNP (via bureau or direct).

CN2GA OP Andy, DL2GGA, stated on the band that due to a police decree there are no licenses issued to aliens in Morocco. He was an excep- tion since he already stayed in the country by the time the decree was published. Special thanks go to CN8MK who helped him to get the call CN2GA. Andy is very active on all bands. QSL via homecall.

GJ DK7SU and friends had no chance to work on 160m and on the other bands they could run their stations only with 100 watts since they released the fire alarm as soon as they turned on their amplifiers. Nevertheless they made 5500 QSOs and the QSLs are available soon.

IOTA Seal Island (IOTA new AF-077) has been activated for the first time by ZS23I. The team worked mostly in SSB on the IOTA frequencies. Those who were at the right time on the right band had also the chance to work ZS23I in CW on 20m. Unfortunately CW is neglected by most IOTA activities. The guys who are chasing islands in CW are handicapped since there exists no mixed mode IOTA award. The QSLs of ZS23I are managed by Barry, ZS1FJ. - Baldur, IC8/DJ6SI, is QRV in the moment from EU-031. QSL via DJ6SI, also via bureau.
