3CAK ---> Victor Loginov, UA2FM provides a few enlightening details on 3CAK.
The operator's name is really Vladimir Arseniev, and his address is correct
[425DXN 714]. 3CAK is not an amateur radio call, but rather the callsign of
the ship (the "Djibloho") Vladimir operates from. "Actually he should use
this call adding /mm", Victor says, and adds that Vladimir was a club station
operator over 20 years ago, and never had a personal callsign. Victor and his
friends at RK2FWA contacted him and explained that his operation is illegal.
They told him to apply for a 3C licence and operate from the mainland, or at
least to use an amateur radio call /mm.

Canada will increase (+ 5 cents). Nenad, VE3EXY says that 1 USD is not enough
to cover international mail from Canada. [TNX The Daily DX]

XW1PD, XW3PD or CN8PD. Apparently someone is playing games with him.
