INFO

KH5/KH5K There are rumours from Hawaii that somebody is planning a large DXpedition to Palmyra/Jarvis Island and Kingman Reef. One of the major problems is to get a landing permit for Kingman Reef.

P5 Like mentioned before Sanyi, HA7VK (XU7VK, XU95HA), stays at the Hungarian embassy in North Korea. He had several meetings with North Korean officials and said that there is no way to get an amateur radio licence in P5 in the moment.

IOTA A group of 16 YV operators will activate Los Roques Island (SA-035) during the Venezuelan Marine Day. The operation will be in CW/SSB/ RTTY, satellite, VHF, packet, 2m and 6m and lasts from July 18-21. The call will be 4M5LR. QSL via WS4E.


QSL-INFO

arrived directly: D68SE, TT8NU, 3B9FR (via F6FNU), ZC4EE, J56CK, R1FJZ,TK2C

JA1WPX states that many QSLs got lost in the JARL bureau between 1991 and 1994. If somebody is still waiting for a QSL he shall ask for a new one. Unfortunately JA1WPX cannot answer all cards via the bureau because he has to pay 45 US-$ per year for each DX call he used. Therefore he handles the cards for 8Q7WP, KC6WP, T32WP, V73WP and YJ0AWP direct only with an SASE included (Remember: 1 US-$ is not enough for return postage from JA. Include either 2 US-$ or 1 IRC). However he still manages the QSL cards for KH2/JA1WPX, KH8/JA1WPX, FK/JA1WPX, FW/JA1WPX and C21/JA1WPX via the bureau. Furthermore he writes that FW/JA1WPX was active only in May 1995. All other QSOs were made by a pirate.

V29SW has a new address: Wolfgang Stock, PO Box W170, Woods Centre - St. John's, Antigua. He is QRV on 40m and 80m starting at 2330 UTC and makes also skeds via e-mail: cm-crc@candw.ag. If somebody still needs a QSL of 9X5SW you can send your request also this address.
