PACIFIC

A35 - TONGA DF5WA and friends will be on the air starting February 20.

FK - NEW CALEDONIA In the end of March F5PXQ will go to Noumea for three years.

JD1 - MINAMI TORISHIMA JG8NQJ/JD1 stays until April 23. QSL to Susumu Sanada, 5 4 Shin ei, Toyohira, Sapporo 004, Japan.

V6 - MICRONESIA Sam, V63KU, is active nearly daily between 14175 and 14200 kHz. QSL via JA6NL via bureau or to Box 1679, Truk Lagun, Micronesia.

AFRICA

3B8 - MAURITIUS Mart, DL6UAA, announced to be on 3B8 between March 16 and April 3. When the licence arrives in time he will be active also on AO-10.

5A1A - LIBYA Rumours are going around stating that since Sep 9, 1996 all QSLs go via SM0OFG, Charly Chahine, Mellingeb 8 2, S-16364 Spanga, Sweden. As far as I know this route applies NOT to European stations. Other rumours say that HH2HM/F (direct only) confirms also QSOs of the DXpedition by OM3JW and LZ2UA (July 13-27, 1995). SM4EMO listed:

operator Ali: Box 80462, Tripoli, Libya
operator Usama: Box 78665, Tripoli, Libya
operator Abubaker: Box 74421, Tripoli, Libya
DXpedition (Ukrainian group 1995) via N4AA (quick!)

Please send only registered airmail to Libya! During the 1996 WWDX CW Contest the call 5A1A has been misused by a pirate. Op Abubaker stated that no CW QSOs have been made since 1995.

9Q - ZAIRE 9Q5PA is on the air for the next 15 months. QSL via Frank Patris, c/o American Embassy Kinshasa, Unit 31550, APO 09828, USA.

C9 - MOZAMBIQUE After his ZS5UZ trip 3DA0CA will be QRV as C91CO on 40m-20m CW from February 21-26/27. He will work especially from 0330 till 0530 UTC on 40m/30m and from 1630 till 2200 UTC starting on 20 and then 40m. QSL via W4DR.

D4 - CAPE VERDE Didier, 6W/F5OGL, and Christian, 6W1QV, plan to become active from D4 between February 26 and March 5.

J2 - DJIBOUTI Dominique, F5RYC, is QRV again as J28YC. QSL via F6EJI.

S7 - SEYCHELLES Staffan, SM7DQW, is on the air as S79DQW from February 17-28. QSL direct via homecall or via SM bureau.

AMERICA

C6A - BAHAMAS Bill, KM1E, is QRV as C6AGN from Green Turtle Cay on 160m-6m until May 20. QSL via KA1DIG.

HK - COLOMBIA During the WWDX SSB 160m Contest (February 21-23) a team will be active as 5K3SB from a military base near Bogota. Look for them on 1830 and 1835 kHz. QSL via HK3DDD.

KH6 - HAWAII On his way to Tonga KH6/DF5WA will be active around February 20.

Those guys who made 5 or 6 band QSOs will receive special QSLs. QRV are: V26A (N3BNA), V26AK (WB2P), V26B (WT3Q), V26DX (KK3S), V26E (AB2E), V26T (K3MQH), V26R (KA2AEV), V26RN (KR2J), V26TS (KF3P) and V26U (WA2UDT). QSL via their homecalls.

V4 - ST. KITTS & NEVIS Alex, W2OX, is QRV as V47KP from February 13 until the beginning of March. He participates also in the DX contests. QSL via K2SB.
