INFO

5A1A The ARRL received more documents of this sucessful 1995 DXpedition. Perhaps there are new chances that 5A1A will be accepted for DXCC. Some QSLs are already arriving via OM3JW.

FR Conny, DL1DA, was heard as FR/DL1DA from Reunion since February 14. He will be QRV until February 23. QSL via DL1DA.

TG TG/KA9FOX works once again from TG9AJR's shack between February 22 and March 3.

VP2E WA0PUJ (VP2EZ), KC0ZC (VP2ES) and VP2E/N0ZSU plan to be on the air from February 28 until March 6. They want to participate also in the ARRL DX SSB Contest (March 2/3). QSL via KC0ZC (Callbook).

ZL9 Graham, ZL4MV, is QRV again as ZL9GD. His last activity using this call was not valid for DXCC credit because he worked from aboard a ship. He is not a DXer and did not know the DXCC rules then (sri). Depending on the weather conditions Graham should be QRV on 14260 and 7060 kHz for 7 days starting February 15. He will work with a battery powered 100 watts transceiver. QSL via ZL4MV.
