RTTY operation has commenced on an almost daily basis on 20 metres at 03.30-05.30 UTC and a big push is expected this coming weekend.

As of January 4th the new rates for 20 grams are 95 cents (international air mail) and 55 cents (mail to the USA), but the actual costs are higher due to the government tax on postage stamps.

The LA-DX-GROUP and the Norwegian Radio League (NRRL) have been invited to voice their opinion: "We need as many responses as possible before February 15, Reidar says.

This documentation was accompanied by license copies, complete with stamps and signatures. However, the DXCC Desk had heard rumors that these documents were in fact forgeries, and not authentic documents. Due to the fact that the operators were still inside the country, and that we did not want to take action that could possibly cause them physical harm, and we knew we would be able to purge these contacts from DXCC records if this was found to be true, cards were accepted until we had the opportunity to investigate after the operators left the country. This situation came to a head earlier than we expected. The Director General of ONATEL, the communications authorities in Burundi, contacted us by fax inquiring as to whether we had seen licenses from Burundi. After several faxes back and forth, they informed us that the licenses were forgeries. The signature on the documents was that of an official who had not been in that position for some time. The operators were saved from any real punishment other than being expelled from the country, and the entire incident is under investigation by their employer. Since that time, the DXCC Desk has been rejecting cards for those operations concerned. As soon as it is possible for the DXCC computer program to do so, all contacts from those operations will be purged from the DXCC database. We expect that will happen before March, 1999. This affects all operations since 1994 using a 9U prefix. The submission of forged documentation is a clear violation of DXCC Section 1, Basic Rule 7, and also Rule 12 (a)." MOST WANTED ---> According to the Most Wanted List compiled by the Northern Portugal DX Group, the top ten DXCC entities most sought for by Portuguese DXers are North Korea, Bouvet Island, Central Kiribati, MacQuarie Island, Buthan, Johnston Island, Kingman Reef, Andaman & Nicobar, Tokelau and Annobon.

The band breakdowns are (band/QSOs) 160/1579, 80/2817, 40/4956, 30/3557, 20/7876, 17/4084, 15/5926, 12/4480, 10/5155. The stations who were able to work them on all of the nine bands are 262. The log search (http://www.okdxc.cz/e44) now covers all 40430 contacts. [TNX PA1AW] EA RTTY CONTEST ---> It is sponsored by URE (Union de Radioaficionados Espanoles) and will take place (10, 15, 20, 40 nd 80 metres) between 16 UTC on 3 April and 16 UTC on the 4th. The rules are available from the Contest Manager (Antonio Alcolado, EA1MV) at [email protected] QSL 1A0KM & HV4NAC ---> QSL manager Francesco Valsecchi, IK0FVC reports that he is used to processing (and mailing) these cards in batches once a week. He can rely on his friends from the Roman DX Club for help and this modus operandi has proved effective. If you do not receive your card(s) within a reasonable time, it is because Francesco has not received your request. He asks DXers to refrain from e-mailing reminders to him, as this cannot speed up the process. QSL 3V8BB ---> The address of the station is P.O. Box 2055, Bir-El-Bey, Tunisia, but the actual QSL route for 3V8BB depends on the date and time of the QSO, as guest operators have their own QSL routes. Cards for contacts made during the 1999 ARRL DX SSB Contest should be sent via I5JHW. QSL 5R8PR & 5R8OP ---> Cards have been received from the printer and QSL managers (respectively F6BFH and F6AOI) have started replying to direct requests received so far. Please note that they will pay return postage out of their pockets, as green stamps and IRCs will be used to buy clothes, school books and medicines for the children living in a small village near Antananarivo.

[TNX VK4BLE] QSL MANAGERS REFLECTOR ---> It is devoted specifically to active QSL Managers and it NOT intended to be another list for listing QSL routes and queries for QSL information.

"Mail theft in Ecuador has made the passing of logs impossible and they are not able to send me logs via e-mail", Rick reports. All past, present and future QSOs can be confirmed via their direct address: Roberto Camacho (HC6CR/HD6CR) and Maricela de Camacho (HC6FG/HD6FG), Casilla 614, Ambato, Ecuador. Please note that NE8Z will continue to act as QSL manager for HC1HC, as Alfredo is able to communicate with Rick via e-mail with logs and/or other information. [TNX NE8Z] QSL VIA WA5KBH ---> George Carr, WA5KBH reports the mail forwarding from the United Kingdom for QSL cards to his UK calls has expired.

Power supply on the island was available only between 6.00-12.30 and 14.00-20.00 local time, but he was able to log some 1000 QSOs. [TNX The Daily DX] DU1/DL2GAC ---> Bernhard, DL2GAC is back home in Germany. He was unable to get to Batan Island (OC-093) in the time he had available because of changes in reasonable transport arrangements. Bernhard only operated from the Calamian Group (OC-090) for a couple of days on this trip. He did not work too many EU stations but had more success into North America.

The operation covered 14 MHz CW and SSB plus 21 MHz SSB, and 263 stations got through. The first JA QSO was JA2DO, Europe OH5MBF, Oceania KH6WU and the United States W6WKE. The documentation will be sent to the ARRL shortly. QSL via OH2BH (Martti J. Laine, Nuottaniementie 3D20, 02230 Espoo, Finland). Audio from this operation can be heard at http://www.qsl.net/9k2hn This was Martti's sixth visit to North Korea. "While discussing the future of amateur radio in a longer term perspective", he says, "an immediate allowance was made to test the equipment": the operation took place from the telecom center premises, "with North Koreans climbing a 150-ft. tower to hoist the antennas. The antennas were left right there together with the Yaesu FT-847 equipment. It is just a matter of switching the power on - when the time is ripe - to allow North Korea to join the ranks of amateur radio". No advance information was given because, Martti says, "during these several years of DX missionary efforts, it has become obvious that if you are able to work on a project in peace, the best overall results will be achieved. Many major efforts are typically hampered by competing forces who have a hard time accepting the success of others". [TNX N4GN] QSL 4M5I ---> Luis, YV5ENI says that his QSL manager (IK6SNR) will reply to all direct requests for the recent 4M5I operations from Los Monjes (SA-015) and La Blanquilla (SA-037) within June.

Unfortunately, according to Steve, when he was in Vietnam recently, he could not find the XV300S logs and no one knew where they were. He has received about 300 requests for cards, but, at the present time, can do nothing about it. Again, this was for the previous XV300S operation with a local operator". QSL YU ---> Contrary to what reported in 425DXN #421 (the information came from YZ7ED), Igor, YT1MM states that "the YU QSL bureau is alive and working (it is operated by Petar, YT1WW), and Yugoslav post office works properly, as letters for all countries in the world are regularly accepted, despite the present circumstances (and the letters DO arrive to their destinations, like Canada,UK, Japan etc.). My radio club (YU1EXY) receives LOT of mail, so I have first-hand proof for my statements. On the other hand, it is a well known fact that a number of countries (like USA, Great Britain and Germany, for example) simply suspended accepting any kind of mail destined for Yugoslavia since early April. Some other countries, like Japan or Hungary accept letters for Yugoslavia and such mail regularly arrives, albeit with a slight delay."

The group in Scotland (led by Bill Ward, GM0ICF) will be signing 2S0ICF/p from the lighthouse at Ardnamurchan Point, while the group in Canada (led by Paul Piercey, VO1HE) will be signing VO1AA from Cabot Tower, the site where Marconi received the first transatlantic signal in 1901. They will operate on +/- 144.075 MHz at 15-18 wpm CW. One station will call the other for a 15 minute period then, if no contact is made, the other station will call for 15 minutes. All on-air operations will be recorded electronically. Operating times will be between 12.00 and 20.00 UTC daily for the entire period, but most likely not the entire 8 hours per day. "We encourage stations on both sides of the Atlantic to join us in this attempt", Paul (VO1HE) says, "either to make contact with us or give us propagation reports". You can send your reports to Paul at [email protected] [TNX VO1HE] 3V8DJ ---> Giovanni, I5JHW reports some 5550 QSOs on SSB, 750 on CW and 110 on RTTY were logged in 33 hours from Jerba island (AF-083/p).

Word from the Iraq authorities is that all operations must take place from the club station. The operator (Goran) at YI7KRN is giving his QTH as Saqiz, which is located in the 'Northern No Fly Zone' and is highly unlikely to be legitimate". The address mentioned for QSLling is Box 66815/314, Saqiz, Kurdistan, Iraq. ZS8D: HELP NEEDED ---> Chris R. Burger, ZS6EZ reports that "the Prince Edward Island Management Committee has refused permission for Deryck Yelverton, ZS8D to erect his tribander on Marion Island. Deryck has been active with a resistively-loaded broadband dipole, but his signal leaves much to be desired. The tribander and amplifier were donated by the NCDXF, and will provide a substantial improvement in signal strength. The tribander is assembled, and ready to be erected if permission is granted". Chris will try to have he decision reconsidered and he is looking for two types of support: 1) Anybody that can supply *substantial information* about the bird strike hazard associated with rotary beams and 2) General shows of support. "If they can see that there really is global demand for activity from Deryck, and that real antennas are necessary, they may relent".

The group has donated an amateur radio station to the Ministry of Public Health for use as a club training station. A demonstration has been given. At present the Yemeni engineers are familiarising themselves with the equipment, and listening to amateur radio activity. Due to pressure on the humanitarian project, and the shortage of time for the coaching of the Yemeni engineers on amateur radio operating, it is unlikely that a DX type operation will take place on this visit.

The Committee's understanding was that an agreeement had been reached with Mal, VK6LC, that, as part of the arrangements for providing significant funding for the expedition, the IOTA Committee would take on the task of locating a QSL manager for bureau cards. It is now apparent that Mal did not understand it that way and has decided to handle bureau cards himself. We welcome that and this matter is now resolved. We do want to make it clear that our previous appointment of Mauro, I1JQJ, as QSL manager had the full authority of the Committee and was based on our understanding of the agreement with Mal at that time. We were grateful to Mauro for agreeing to take this on. We congratulate Mal and his team on the fine operations they mounted."
