INFO

8P Ralph, K2PF, and Steve, KU9C, will be on the air as 8P9GE and 8P9GD from Barbados from December 12-17.

C21BH Altogether 12.000 QSOs (WWDX CW 5.000) were made during the festivities of the 50th birthday of OH2BH. Special colour QSLs which will be mailed in 1997 were ordered by OH2BH.

D44BC Julio asks everybody to add "VIA PORTUGAL" to his address when sending him any letters (also for the activities during the WWDX CW). This is the better choice since the mail otherwise may go via 6W.

FO Eric, F5CCO, has cancelled his trip to French Polynesia.

FR After his stay on 3B8 Jacques, F6HMJ, will be active from Reunion Island (AF-016) from December 5-15.

XZ1N 23.187 QSOs were made during this DXpedition (CW/12.612, SSB/9.936 and RTTY/639 QSOs). QSL via W1XT.
