     certificates or updates processed. Now applications are taking
     approximately one week. For more details, read last week's "ARRL
     Letter" or visit the ARRL Web site at:  http://www.arrl.org

H40, TEMOTU PROVINCE (Also H44). Nick Hacko, VK1AA (aka VK2ICV/VK9LX),
reports that all of the equipment went through custom clearance OK (thanks
to Greg Pearson, H44GR!) and is stored safely in Honiara. Unfortunately,
Ranko, YT6A, is NOT going, and Nick has yet to figure out how he is going
to manage 125 kg of equipment. Nick states, "Obviously, something will
need to stay in H44 therefore only the most important stuff will be taken
to H40. This includes an FT920, MLA2500 amplifier, tribander, antenna mast
and lowband vertical. No WARC antenna; RTTY is also under question.
Also, I would need to cut the coax (heavy RG8), therefore, I can only
have one antenna at the time - either vertical or tribander. There will
be no activity from Honiara BEFORE departure to Temotu, only later,
April 7-9th." His callsign will be H44TL for Honiara, and for Temotu the
callsign will be H40XX. Nick appeared on the air (Sunday morning Zulu
time) on 10 meters CW (around 28008 kHz at 0113z) as this was being
written. The web site for the operation is at:

   Silvano, I2YSB, reports all the logs of the Niger 2002 DXpedition
   (5U1A, 5U4R, 5U6W, 5U8B, 5U9C and 5U0T) are now on-line at:
                   http://www.qsl.net/niger-2002/log.htm
   After typing the paper-logs and merging all the files, some typo and
   mistake are possible. If you don't find all your QSOs with them, please
   send an E-mail to I2YSB and he will check the logs. His E-mail address
   is:                          i2ysb@libero.it

   QSLs for RH9XN go via RN9XA: Eugene Bugrimov, P.O.Box 1229 Syktyvkar,
   Russia. This was a special event station to honor Russian Hockey.

   QSL S21/OK1FWC via OKDXF at: OK DX Foundation, Box 73, Bradlec 293-06,
   Czech Repiblic. Logs are expected to be on the OKDXF Web page at:
                http://www.qsl.net/okdxf/e_index.htm

   be received from the printer on March 26th. Janusz will send them
   out just after that. QSL V51/SP6IXF via SP6IXF: Janusz Szymanski,
   P.O.Box 1808, 50-385 Wroclaw 46, Poland.

S7, SEYCHELLES. Look for Kurt, HB9MX, to be active as S79MX for about
one month starting March 25th. Activity will be on CW/SSB and probably
on all bands. QSL via HB9MX.

SPECIAL EVENT. Look for the special callsign TM5PDG to be activated on
Sunday, April 7th, from 0900-1900z. French hams will operate from
"LE PONT DU GARD" (Bridge of Gard, dated from Roman period). TM5PDG will

end of May. Look for him every evening around 2030z, on 20 meters CW.
He may possibly QSY to 80 meters. When working on 40 meters, Bernard
must use a very sharp filter because of a violent local QRM so you may
have to change your frequency. Bernard also works SSB each Sunday morning
between 0700-1030z on 20 meters. QSL via the French bureau (please no
cards to T9 bureau). Bernard will answer 100%, after he comes back home.

TOP 50 DXPEDITIONS. Gil, F5NOD, has put together an interesting Web
page that you might want to check out at:
          http://www.qsl.net/f5nod/top50expe.html

U.S.A. POSTAGE TO GO UP. It was announced (officially) this past week that
stateside 1st class mail postage is going up 3 cents, possibly around
June 30th.

VK0, MACQUARIE ISLAND. "QRZ DX" reported this past week that another ham
will be active from here. It has been reported that Peter Andrew Pokorny,
VK0MQI, will be working as a member of the 2002 Australian National
Antarctic Research Expedition to Macquarie Island. Peter is 43 years
old and has worked on contract with ANARE as a supervising communications
technical officer for one year. He had operated as VK0AC from Davis Base,
Antarctica in 1998. Peter has already departed for VK0 on March 11th,
so he may have already arrived on the island. He will be staying on the
island until December of this year. He will only be on the air in his
spare time. His operating site will be the same house which Tom, VK0TS,
used in 1997. Peter is expected to operate on all bands including 6
meters. However, he does not have much experience in DXing, so please be
patient in the early part of his operation. QSL Managers will be Masa,
JE1LET, for his JA QSOs and Toshi, JA1ELY, for other DX QSOs.

VP6/D, DUCIE ISLAND. Pilot stations Stu/WA2MOE, Yoshi/JE2EHP and Jay/AF2C
have been keeping the DX community well informed over the past week on
the activity and status of VP6DI. As this was being typed, reports indicate
that the team is tired but in good spirits. Over the past weekend there
has been some activity on 80/40/17 meters. On 160 they make no promises.
The operator N9TK (VP6DI) reported that the vertical antenna intended for
use on 160 and 80 is giving the operators trouble. They are trying to
repair it. Also, there is word that there is something wrong with the RTTY
equipment. The VP6DI team is scheduled to cease operation on March 27th
and leave the island that evening (their time). They intend to arrive on
Henderson Island (OC-056) on March 28th. This is a rare IOTA. They will
only stay for one day and depart Henderson on March 29th. On March 30th,
they will arrive at Pitcairn (long enough to eat lunch). On April 1st,
they are expected to arrive back in Gambier, and all should be back home
by April 3rd. Remember, QSL Manager is Garth Hamilton, VE3HO, for all HF
operations only. QSL Manager for all 6 meter QSOs is Kan, JA1BK. A log
search is or will be available at: http://www.big.or.jp/~ham/dx.html

WIND/WATERMILLS ACTIVITY. OPDX was informed that "National Mills Weekend"
will take place on May 11-12th. The Denby Dale Amateur Radio Society (DDARS)
is once again co-ordinating the "Mills On The Air". The "Society for the
Protection of Ancient Building" (S.P.A.B.) runs the mills event every
year on or around the second weekend in May; however, amateur radio is
another part of the many attractions that take place. Certificates this
year will be issued like last year by working 10 stations or more on 1 or
both days, send 3-00 pounds or more payable to DDARS via Sue, G0WFE.
Currently, S.P.A.B has not decided what mill to activate during this event,
but details are forthcoming. Watch for up-to-date info via Internet,
Packet, RSGB news and the following Web pages:
                     http://www.spab.org.uk/mills
                     http://www.qsl.net/g4cdd/mills.htm
ADDED NOTE: This event is not a contest. They just want to have a good
time promoting the wonders of amateur radio while helping to remind "Joe
Public" that there are still a few individuals left who enjoy preserving
our heritage, and why not. The above group would like to see more
Wind/WaterMills active during this event.

XR0, SAN FELIX ISLAND. The USA pilot station Dr. Bill, K6GNX, has been
keeping the DX community well informed over the past week on the activity
and status of XR0X. As this was being written, XR0X was operating 3 SSB
stations (one shared with RTTY), 3 CW stations and 6 meters. One CW
generator failed and was replaced with a spare. The piles are thinning
out. The XR0X team expects to go QTH sometime during March 26th to have
everything loaded aboard ship to weight anchor at 1200z (local) on the
March 27th. QSL via John Kennon, N7CQQ, P. O. Box 31553, Laughlin,
Nevada 89028 USA. The San Felix Expedition Web site has up-to-date news
and a log search available at:         http://www.cordell.org/SFX

XV9, SPRATLY ISLAND. Reports indicate that the Vietnam Amateur Radio Club
(VARC) plan to be on from here during April. They will use the callsign
XV9TH, however, specific dates are unknown. More details are forthcoming.

XY, MYANMAR. Frank, DL4KQ, informs OPDX that 9 operators will be active
from here August 4-22nd. Operators include: DF2IC, DF7KP, DL4KQ, DL5OAB,
DL8KBJ, IN3QBR, IN3ZNR, XW0X, and YB0US. They will use the callsigns
XY3C for CW, XY5T for SSB and XY7V for the digital modes. They plan to
have three stations (w/amlifiers) active at all times on 160-6 meters.
Yagis will be used between 30-6 meters. The lower bands will use horizontal
and vertical systems. They plan to travel and operate (possibly) from
three different locations. There will be limited operation between August
4-8th from Yangon (on 40-6 meters). Then between August 9-22nd, they will
operate from Ngapal, near Thandwe (earlier known as Sandoway) at Arrakan
coast. There is a small chance, for a short period, that they may activate
a new IOTA in the Arrakan Group. QSL Managers are as follows: XY3C via
DL4KQ, XY5T via IN3ZNR and XY7V via DL8KBJ (direct or bureau). They have
as Web page at:           http://www.dx-pedition.de
