4S7LGT ---> This operation was originally planned to take place from Beruwala
Island, hence the excitement among IOTA chasers last weekend. However reports
from Sri Lanka indicate that the operators were not able to reach the  island
due to rough seas.

MOST WANTED SURVEY ---> The DX  Magazine's annual Most Wanted Survey will  be
conducted from  1 September  through  15 October.  The  survey form  will  be
available at http://www.dxpub.com and the overall  results will be posted  on
the web site in mid-January 2003. [TNX N4AA]

PIRATES ---> Stations identifying as HE0A and HB0A have been reported on  the
bands in  recent  months.  After  checking  with  both  the  Switzerland  and
Liechtenstein licensing authorities, Friedrich  Tinner, HB9AAQ (President  of
USKA, Switzerland's  IARU  Society)  has  been  able  to  verify  that  these
callsigns have never been issued. [TNX HB9AAQ]

incorrect", EU1SA says.

2002) cards are going to be  sent out ("the  post office kept  the QSL for  5
weeks without giving  us info", he  says). Please note  that direct  requests
with 2$+ will be  mailed from Norway,  while requests with  1$ (which is  not
enough to  cover  postage  from Norway)  will  be  mailed  from  neighbouring
country.   Bureau    cards    will    follow    in    due    course.    Check
http://www.qsl.net/s9la/news/news.html

confirm QSOs made  with S9SS only.  Direct cards for  S92SS (as  well as  for
A22AA, SV0LM and A25/KY4P) should be  sent to Charles Lewis, 2270  Libreville
Place, Dulles,  VA 20189-2270,  USA. Bureau  cards are  to  be sent  to  KY4P
(Charles is going to send several hundred cards via the ARRL bureau: "a  very
large backlog built  up because I  did not have  my logs and  QSL cards  from
February through July",  he says. "This  was due to  my transfer from  Greece
back to Sao Tome"). [TNX S9SS]

QSL VIA EX8F ---> Vlad reports  he can confirm QSOs  made with EX1IF,  EX7MD,
